The Central Australian Basins 2D Seismic Reprocessing Project is an initiative under Geoscience Australia's "Australia’s Future Energy Resources" (AFER) program, funded by the Australian Government through the "Exploring for the Future" (EFTF) program. The project aims to assess the untapped resource potential of selected underexplored onshore sedimentary basins in terms of natural gas, oil, and groundwater, while also investigating opportunities for geological storage of carbon dioxide and hydrogen. By providing pre-competitive data, the initiative seeks to stimulate investment in mineral, energy, and groundwater exploration.   This project focuses on improving the understanding of the geological evolution and relationships among various Australian basins, ranging from the early Paleozoic Amadeus, Warburton and Adavale basins to the Permian-Triassic Pedirka, Simpson, northern Cooper and southern Galilee basins, and the Jurassic–Cretaceous western Eromanga Basin. To achieve this, modern seismic processing techniques were applied to 33 selected multi-vintage legacy lines with a total length of approximately 2,100 km, enhancing the resolution and image quality of the seismic lines. The dataset includes deep crustal as well as shallow lines from Queensland and South Australia. The data were collected using various acquisition sources such as Vibroseis, Geoflex, and dynamite. Six merged lines were also created to aid in interpretation.   Both stacks and gather data are provided in SEG-Y format, along with navigation data, velocity, and statics. The reprocessing focused on enhancing seismic reflectors and faults, attenuating noise, and optimising frequency content for target depths. Techniques used in the reprocessing include creating a 3D static model, noise attenuation methods, minimum phasing of the Vibroseis data to match dynamite lines, surface-consistent deconvolution, and building a precise velocity model for optimising pre-stack time and depth migration.
