This report presents the results of a review of the source rock and petroleum charge potential of the Waiau Basin (PEP38213). It was commissioned by EEX Corporation after a field visit by EEX technical personnel, during which surface manifestations of hydrocarbons were examined and a suite of samples collected for geochemical analysis. The study was broken down into two elements. These were a review of source rock character, in particular of the late Eocene units, synthesising previous work with rock-evaluation results on new samples and burial and thermal modelling of a set of five potential maturation kitchens, with input parameters for the models selected on the basis of a re-interpretation of the available seismic data.
