contents A summary of shipboard Rock-Eval measurements shows that organic matter in Upper Triassic siltstone from the Wombat Plateau is dominated by Type III kerogen and is thermally immature. Neocomian siltstone from the Exmouth Plateau similarly contain thermally immature Type III organic matter. Overlying Upper Cretaceous to Quaternary carbonates are poor in organic matter at both locations, yet significant amounts of methane-dominated gas are dissolved in the pore waters of the thick carbonate sequence present on the Exmouth Plateau. This dry gas is believed to have migrated from deeper and more mature strata containing Type III kerogen.
