This book gives an overview of the hydrocarbon prospectivity of the seven main sedimentary basins in NSW i.e. Clarence-Moreton, Darling, Eromanga, Gunnedah, Murray, Surat and Sydney Basins. The overview provides information regarding location, geological setting, structural setting, exploration history, stratigraphy and depositional setting.
