Possible economic hydrocarbon accumulations could exist in the Eromanga Basin sequence in southwest Queensland, particularly adjacent to faults transverse to groundwater flow. Interpretation of LANDSAT imagery and air-photographs indicates the probable presence of many faults hitherto unsuspected from field observations and seismic surveys. Most Jurassic and probably some of the more deeply buried Cretaceous rocks have generated hydrocarbons from relatively abundant source rocks, and under a variety of geothermal gradients. Hydrocarbons could also have migrated into the Eromanga Basin sequence from underlying basins whose equivalents elsewhere contain commercial accumulations.
