Bonaparte Basin (original) (raw)
The Bonaparte Basin is a sedimentary basin in Western Australia and the Northern Territory of Australia. Its total area is approximately 270,000 square kilometres (100,000 sq mi), most of which is offshore. The sedimentary basin emerges at the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf and extends into the ocean in the waters of the gulf and the Timor Sea. It partially overlays the and the . It is bounded on the north by the Timor Trough, on the west by the and on the northeast by the . The sedimentary basin partially overlays the , the and .

| dbo:abstract | Das Bonaparte-Becken (engl.: Bonaparte Basin) ist ein Sedimentbecken im Northern Territory von Australien. In dem Sedimentbecken befinden sich etwa 5 km mächtige Gesteinsschichten auf Land, die im Ozean bis zu 17 km erreichen. Das Becken entstand vom Kambrium bis Känozoikum vor 540 bis 360 Millionen Jahren. Im Becken sind Kalksteine, Sandsteine, Tonsteine, Basalte, Kohle und eiszeitlichen Sedimente eingelagert. Das Sedimentbecken überlagert teilweise die , das Birrindudu-Becken und Wolfe-Becken. Das Becken enthält signifikante Vorkommen von Uran, die in Sandsteinvorkommen mineralisiert wurden und es gibt Untersuchungen nach Erdöl und Erdgas. Das Sedimentbecken tritt am Joseph Bonaparte Gulf hervor und erstreckt sich in den Ozean in den Wassern des Golfs und der Timorsee. Es überlagert teilweise die Pine-Creek-Orogen und das Fitzmaurice-Becken. Im Becken wurden sieben Erdölbohrungen vorgenommen, die geringe Vorkommen von Erdöl und Erdgas erschlossen. An Land gibt es ein Blei-, Zink-, Gold- und kleinere Kohlevorkommen. Geologische Untersuchungen nach Metallen und Eisen werden auf Land und im Golf nach Öl und Gas durchgeführt.

The sedimentary basin emerges at the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf and extends into the ocean in the waters of the gulf and the Timor Sea. It partially overlays the and the . It is bounded on the north by the Timor Trough, on the west by the and on the northeast by the . In the sedimentary basin the rock strata is about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) thick on land, and over 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) thick under the ocean. The basin originated from the Cambrian period to the Cenozoic era, 540 to 360 million years ago. Limestone, sandstone, mudstone, basalt, coal and glacial sediments are embedded in the basin. It contains several oil and natural gas fields amounting to 18% of Australia's known reserves of natural gas. Total estimated reserves are 29 million barrels (4.6×106 m3) of oil and 860 petajoules (2.4×1011 kWh) of gas. The sedimentary basin partially overlays the , the and . The Bonaparte Basin has deposits of lead, zinc, iron, gold and smaller coal deposits on land, mineralised in sandstone deposits. There were studies on petroleum and natural gas, which have resulted in oil and gas-producing wells and two undersea pipelines to the Northern Territory. (en) |
