Revealing the genetic relationships and plumbing connections between oil and gas accumulations and their source rock systems in New Zealand basins.
- Petroleum Source Rocks - Improved understanding of the stratigraphy, depositional environment and petroleum generation characteristics of key source rock units in New Zealand basins.
- Petroleum Fluids - Improved understanding of petroleum fluid origins and their composition.
- Petroleum Plumbing Systems - Improved understanding of the structural and sedimentary architecture of the subsurface and its impact on petroleum movement.
