Regional exploration in the Barrow Sub-basin has dominantly focused on structural traps in the Top Barrow Group. A lack of recent discoveries has focused attention more towards the economic potential of the Early Cretaceous intra-Barrow Group plays. The aim of this study was to interpret the seismic sequence stratigraphy and depositional history of the intra-Barrow Group within the Barrow Sub-basin, with emphasis on the identification of stratigraphic traps and potential locations of economic seal/reservoir couplets within the study area. The study area lies south of Barrow Island, and contains the topsets, foresets and toesets of the ‘Barrow delta’, which are an amalgamation of Mesozoic sandprone fluvial, coastal deltaic and deepwater successions. The final stages of the break-up of Gondwana impacted on the structural development of the Barrow Sub-basin, when a large shelf-margin fluvial/deltaic system built out toward the north to northeast, contributing to northerly shelf margin accretion, with largescale clinoform features and associated depositional environments. The dataset comprises the Flinders 3D seismic survey 1267 km² and 35 well logs. Eleven seismic sequences are identified and a seismic sequence stratigraphic framework tied to the wells has been developed, via detailed sequence stratigraphic mapping, integrated with 3D visualisation techniques with the use of Petrel. These eleven second-order sequences are further subdivided into lowstand, transgressive and highstand systems tracts. The movement of the palaeo-shelf break, slope and base of slope can be traced throughout each sequence, displaying an overall trend of building out in a north to northeast direction. A series of palaeo- geographic maps for each sequence has been developed to illustrate the basin’s evolution. The seismic sequences identified display progradation, followed by aggradation, then downstepping, concluding with progradation and aggradation. A high-resolution sequence stratigraphic study of Seismic Sequence 1 showed that several higher-order sequences can be identified, including numerous lowstand systems wedges, along with associated channel features, which could be targeted as new plays. The sequence stratigraphic framework developed, palaeo-geographic reconstructions and all other interpretations made for this project have been integrated to assess the prospectivity of the intra-Barrow Group over the study area, resulting in the identification of a number of leads and prospectivity summaries for each of the 11 Seismic Sequences identified within the intra-Barrow Group. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1313353 / Thesis (M.Sc.(Petrol.G&G))-- University of Adelaide, Australian School of Petroleum, 2008

The longest common subsequence (LCS) problem is a famous and classical problem in computer science and molecular biology. The common subsequence of multiple sequences shows the identical and similar parts in these sequences. This dissertation pays attention to the approximate algorithms for finding the LCS of $k$ input sequence ($k$-LCS problem), the merged LCS problem, and the mosaic LCS problem. These three problems try to hunt out the identical relationships among the $k$ sequences, the interleaving relationship between a target sequence and a merged sequence of a pair of sequences, and the mosaic relationship between a target sequence and a set of sequences, respectively. Given $k$ input sequences, the $k$-LCS problem is to find the LCS which is common in all sequences. We first propose two $sigma$-approximate algorithms for the $k$-LCS problem with time complexities $O(sigma k n)$ and $O(sigma^{2} k n + sigma^{3} n)$ respectively, where $sigma$ and $n$ are the alphabet size and length of sequences, respectively. Experimental results show that our algorithms for 2-LCS could be a good filter to select the candidate sequences in database searching. Given a target sequence $T$ and a pair of merging sequences $A$ and $B$, the merged LCS problem is to find the LCS of $T$ and the optimally merged sequence by merging $A$ and $B$ alternately. Its goal is to find a merging way for understanding the interleaving relationship of sequences. We first propose an algorithm with $O(n^{3})$ time for solving the problem, where $n$ is the sequence length. We further add the block information of input sequences in the blocked merged LCS problem. To solve the latter problem, we propose an algorithm with time complexity $O(n^{2}m_{b})$, where $m_{b}$ is the number of blocks. Based on the S-table technique, we can design an improved algorithm with $O(n^{2} + nm_{b}^{2})$ time. Additionally, we desire to obtain the relationship between one sequence and a set of sequences. Given a target sequence $T$ and a set $S$ of source sequences, the mosaic LCS problem is to find the LCS of $T$ and a mosaic sequence $C$, composed of repeatable $k$ sequences in $S$. Based on the concept of break points in $T$, a divide and conquer algorithm is proposed with $O(n^2m|S|+ n^3log k)$ time, where $n$ and $m$ are the lengths of $T$ and the maximal length of sequences in $S$, respectively. Again, based on the S-table technique, an improved algorithm with $O(n(m+k)|S|)$ time is proposed by applying an efficient preprocessing.
