Abstract
The Vulcan sub-basin is one of the few places in Australia where tectonic features (i.e. diapirs) associated with a mobile substrate can be found. In this presentation one of these features, the Paqualin diapir, and its environs will be described and discussed using the new regional NOVAR MC3D prestack depth migrated seismic dataset. The extent of the NOVAR MC3D seismic dataset makes it possible, for the first time, to integrate the observation of c. 600m of interbedded halite and anhydrite in the Paqualin-1 well, local fault geometries indicative of the movement of a mobile layer and regional tectonic features consistent with the presence of a mobile substrate. In this presentation the observations will be integrated with global analogues, regional palaeogeographic interpretations to refine models for the origin and spatiotemporal distribution of mobile layers in the Vulcan sub-basin.
