- Statement
- To provide a framework for the fault analysis, 11-14 reflections corresponding to sedimentary beds were mapped across areas of dyke-induced faults; these horizons mapped are all offset by dyke-induced faults. The reflections picked were selected based on ease of interpretation across the desired area and to ensure a good spatial resolution to the data. Mapping was conducted in Petrel seismic interpretation software on inlines and crosslines spaced 125-250 m apart, although some horizons were autotracked in 3D. Horizon surfaces were generated from these mapped grids. Where the surfaces intersected dyke-induced faults, points were mapped on seismic lines orthogonal to the fault strikes every 125 along strike to define footwall and hanging wall cut-offs. The X, Y, and Z co-ordinates of all cut-off points was exported from Petrel and collated for each horizon using a bespoke python script that depth-converted their Z values (using data from Chandon-1, Chandon-2, Chandon-3, Investigator-1, and Yellowglen-1 borehole checkshots; https://www.ga.gov.au/nopims ) and also calculated fault dip, throw, heave, and displacement between the pairs. These data were then passed through other bespoke scripts to: (1) collate all cut-off data for each fault; and (2) identify opposing cut-off pairs along the dyke-induced graben to calculate its width and predict the depth to the dyke top. These predictions were compared to depth-converted measured depths of dyke upper tips mapped in the seismic reflection data. For the pit craters, their plan-view outline was mapped on time-slices corresponding to their uppermost seismic expression; from these outlines, best-fit ellipses were generated and their long axis, short axis and area measurements extracted. The centre of each best-fit ellipse was characterised by a centroid, for which the X, Y, and Z data were noted. In addition to plan-view measurements, the height of the pit craters and their components were measured, as well as their height above underlying dykes or faults. These measured pit crater parameters were used to estimate pit crater volumes.
