Depositional environment:
The Depositional environment throughout the Cooper Basin formations is wholly non-marine, with the Patchawarra formation being a fluvial/deltaic depositional environment, with point-bar sandstones the most common reservoir type.
Trap structures:
Traps in the Cooper Basin are recognised as being structural e.g Anticlines, Stratigraphic e.g. facies change or a combination of these. Most traps in the Patchawarra formation are combination traps and lie somewhere between purely structural and purely stratigraphic.
Analogues:
Pennsylvanian plays of the Cherokee platform province (Kanas):
Located in the southern United States, the Cherokee Platform Providence has a long exploration history and is highly mature with the first
