Projects Cooper basin region
Last updated:5 September 2023
The Cooper Basin region is located mostly in south-western Queensland and extends into north-eastern South Australia and partially into New South Wales. The Cooper Basin region ranges in depth from approximately 1,000 to 2,800 m below the modern ground surface and has an area of approximately 249,000 km2. The Cooper Basin contains sedimentary rocks spanning the late Carboniferous to late Triassic periods and is overlain in parts by the geologically younger Eromanga and Lake Eyre basins.
Location of the Cooper basin region, including the extended region extent
The TEGI data and information repository contains a compilation of current geological, energy, carbon capture and storage, groundwater, minerals and environmental information for the Cooper Basin. GIS data is available to download for analysis where available. A short guide is provided with each GIS dataset to explain the nature and application of the data. Reports outline the methodology used for environmental assessments in the TEGI Program.
