1996 Nancar Trough, Northern Bonaparte Basin (AC/P16) Airborne Laser Fluorosensor Survey Interpretation Report : (WGC AC/P16 Survey number 1248.3)

The AC/P16 airborne laser fluorosensor (ALF) survey is located in the Northern Bonaparte Basin, Timor Sea. The survey was flown in one sortie on the 2nd December 1996. Sixteen lines were acquired at 700 m spacing in an E-W direction at a flying height of 100m. Line length ranged from 23 km to 30 km, with a total of 412.9 km acquired. Line 20070 was a repeat of line 10070. A total of 290,337 spectra were collected at a spacing of about 1.42m. Of these, 111 were interpreted as showing confident oil fluorescence spectra. Fluors were mostly of small to medium intensity with none having F/R area ratio larger than 0.75. Most of the fluors were located in the eastern half of the survey in two main clusters. No fluorescence curve trends were noted but the survey area may be too small to show significant trends.
