MGPalaeo has a growing library of complete core descriptions available for wells across the North West Shelf and the Perth Basin.

More than 1 km of core has been described at various scales for wells in the Vulcan Sub-basin, the Bedout Sub-basin, and the northern Perth Basin.

These core descriptions are available individually or as part of comprehensive integrated studies (the Vulcan Sub-basin and the Bedout Sub-basin).

The core descriptions are intended to give an overview of the lithology, grain size and sedimentary structures, depofacies, palaeoenvironment, ichnology and cements present, and are available either as PDFs or in fully digital format (including cm-scale grain size curve, tops and bases for litho- and depofacies, etc) for easy input into software such as Petrel.

Some wells also comprise litho- and depofacies codes plotted against Routine Core Analysis (RCA) measurements and can be included in the core description.

For more information on the availability of completed core descriptions, or to request a core description for a specific well, please contact us. Alternatively, if you are a subscriber of GPinfo, you can find a high level summary of all our available core data on that platform.
