Normalise the acquisition and use of petrophysical data within mineral exploration to improve the success of exploration under cover and in unexplored and under explored domains.

Project focus

Provide confidence in acquired petrophysical data

• development of standard acquisition and processing procedures and training
• understanding petrophysical data resolution and uncertainty
• investigate appropriate up and down scaling of petrophysical data

Use petrophysical data to bridge the gap between geophysics and geology

• publication of case studies which utilise petrophysical data
• development of workflows which integrate petrophysical data into geological and geophysical modelling and interpretation

Build a continental petrophysical database which is standardised and nationally comparable

• enable access to equipment – deployment across government, researchers and industry
• FAIR data – open access through AuScope
