Akio Sakai pointed me to an error in the well location plot of Fig. 8 of my 2005 paper in the Aust. J. Earth Sci.. The location plot for 4 backstripping wells shows the wrong geographic locations for the Taltarni-1, Longleat-1 and Yampi-1 wells. This map shows the correct locations, with the ones used in the AJES paper indicated in red. However, only the locations on the map are wrong, the backstripping data for the individual wells are correct.

Apologies for the mistake!

An article entitled "Research excites oil industry" about our ICONS atlas of intracontinental basins recently appeared on Petroleumnews.Net. The article requires to sign in to the page.

Quote from the article:
Geoscientists at the University of Sydney are quietly working on research that is revolutionising the understanding of petroleum-producing basins in the heart of continents.

The research explains the greater-than-predicted sediment thicknesses in many intracontinental basins around the world, including the Eromanga Basin in Australia and Russia’s West Siberian Basin - a prolific oil producer.
