3 GA s Program in the southern Gippsland Basin World class producing petroleum province Under-explored, deepwater part of the basin Acreage Release areas New seismic surveys Is the southern margin suitable for CO 2 storage? What is the potential for finding hydrocarbons within the acreage release areas and GHG assessment permits?

21 Conclusions Anemone-1A oil and Blackback-2 FI oil correlate with the marine Anemone Fm, Golden Beach Sub-group Angler-1 and Blackback-1 oils correlate with the fluvial Chimaera Fm, Golden Beach Sub-group Produced oils from the Central Deep do not correlate with the lower coastal plain coals and coaly shales in the Volador Fm, Halibut Sub-group, but show some affinity to the Chimaera Fm Significant potential for hydrocarbon generation in the southern Central Deep and migration onto the Southern Terrace
