The Grand Canning Seismic reprocessing project has revealed the presence of several seismic amplitude anomalies in the Cretaceous and Jurassic sandstones. These are possibly charged by hydrocarbons from the underlying Palaeozoic sediments which have proven to be valid oil-prone source rocks by the many onshore wells drilled in the early 1980s.
