Release Areas W12-6 and W12-7 are located over the outer, deep-water Scott Plateau in the Browse Basin and the Rowley Sub-basin in the Roebuck Basin. This under-explored part of the North West Shelf lies to the southwest of the Torosa, Brecknock and Calliance gas fields in the Browse Basin, and to the northeast of established oil and gas fields and production infrastructure of the Northern Carnarvon Basin. The Release Areas do not contain any wells, but inboard parts of these areas have good coverage of publicly available 2D seismic reflection data. Nearby wells indicate that there is the potential for active petroleum systems to occur in the area and that a range of structural and stratigraphic plays are possible.
