The junior company said these prospects were in a play called the Simpson Embayment, similar to areas containing Permian rocks that have sourced the Jackson oilfield trend in western Queensland, which has produced over 40 million barrels of oil.

Two large prospects have been identified on the Simpson seismic grid, three prospects in the Dune seismic grid and three prospects in the Bejah seismic grid, Rawson said.
