1 Potential Field modelling of northern South Australia Graham Baines, David Giles, Peter Betts.

2 Potential Field Data Allows us to extrapolation between outcrops/drill holes Provides higher lateral resolution than sparse data sets (MT and Passive Seismic) Allows us to expand our interpretations beyond the GOMA line

3 Steps in the Analysis Map based interpretation Unconstrained Inversions Constrained Inversions Forward Models Comparison to the GOMA Line

4 Potential Field Solid Geology Interp. Musgraves and Christie Domain from PIRSA

5 Building the Interpretation

6 Pick Faults/Dykes

7 Potential Field Interp.

8 Potential Field Solid Geology Interp. Musgraves and Christie Domain from PIRSA

9 Modelling Aims Image density and magnetic susceptibility structure Correlate with results of the GOMA line Highlight similarities Understand the differences Determine lithospheric architecture and how it developed

10 Modelling Methods Method Dimensions Model Definition Inversions Unconstrained Mathematical Routinely 3D Constrained Mathematical/ Geological Forward Models Routinely 2D (3D Possible) Geological Boundaries Smooth Smooth/Sharp Sharp Input Structure Nowhere Where Data Everywhere Results Objective Objective* Subjective Use here Constrain Nature of Sources (Depth, Dip, etc) Test/Validate Interpretation * Assuming constraints 100% reliable

11 Unconstrained Inversions Unrealistic low at depth beneath the Officer Basin Can we add in the basin?

12 Constrained 3D Inversions How can we add constraints? 1. Assign starting model 2. Assign a complex reference model 3. Min and max limits on properties 4. Reduce smoothing across known geological boundaries

13 Data included Hierachy of Constraints Measured Petrophysics Downhole Logs Drillhole Stratigraphy Surface Geology Seismic Reflections

14 Example Constraints

15 Inversions in 3D

16 Christie to Nawa Unconstrained

17 Christie to Nawa Constrained

18 Christie, CPR, MCR, Nawa

19 Christie, CPR, MCR, Nawa

20 Christie, CPR, MCR, Nawa

21 Inversions in 3D

22 GOMA Eastern Officer Basin

23 GOMA Eastern Officer Basin

24 Eastern Officer Forward Models Baines et al. (Submitted PCR)

25 Nawa to Musgrave Block

26 Nawa to Musgrave Block

27 Nawa to Musgrave Block

28 Conclusions Potential Field Modelling provides additional constraints on the sub surface structure Reasonable agreement with interpreted seismic structure But agreement is not 100%, an integrated interpretation adds valuable information.
