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.
