The dataset is available via the “Data and Publications” page. Each package is a consolidated set of seismic and well data to facilitate new ventures and exploration assessments of frontier basins in South Australia. Data releases for other frontier basins will follow.

Arrowie Basin carbonates and clastics were deposited in tropical latitudes on the eastern seaboard of the Gawler Craton from the Early to mid Late Cambrian.
