NTGS continues to assess the resource potential of shale units within key onshore basins in the Northern Territory, particularly within the greater McArthur Basin. The work involves compiling key parameter data to assess potential for hydrocarbon and mineral resources. The data is sourced from open file company reports, core sampling reports, government publications, and new analyses from stored drill core held at NTGS Core Facilities and Geoscience Australia.
DIP 014 contains a significant increase in the samples analysed and includes the collation of publicly available organic, inorganic, XRD and petrology data for the NDI Carrara1 hole.

- 56% increase in total number of samples analysed (total 22395)
- 9% increase in TOC analysis (total 10024)
- 10% increase in pyrolysis analysis (total 8202)
- 27% increase in XRD analyses (total 1643)
