The project aims to reduce the costs of drilling in deep-water offshore by better identifying potential drilling sites. The North-West shelf offshore Australia is the main supplier of liquefied natural gas. However, there is uncertainty about the age of petroleum (oil and gas) discovered in the region. It is not currently possible to constrain an age of fluids to a number of source rocks. The aims are to develop a high-level age discriminative tool for fluids. An interdisciplinary approach will be applied using state-of-the-art techniques including comprehensive two dimensional gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry, compound specific isotope analysis of hydrocarbons, clumped isotopes of methane and metagenomics.

该项目旨在通过更好地确定潜在的钻井地点来降低深海钻井的成本。澳大利亚近海的西北大陆架是液化天然气的主要供应地。然而，在该地区发现的石油（石油和天然气）的年龄存在不确定性。目前还不可能把流体的年龄限定在一些烃源岩上。目的是开发一种高水平的流体年龄判别工具。跨学科的方法将采用最先进的技术，包括全面的二维气相色谱-飞行时间质谱，碳氢化合物的化合物特定同位素分析，甲烷的团块同位素和宏基因组学。
