The Sydney Basin Structural Geological Synthesis Study Comprises a regional structural framework, integrated with a variety of public domain and non-confidential data contributed by supporting companies and bodies, accompanied by a 4-D regional structural/basin model. The project area includes the Permian-Triassic Sydney and part of the Gunnedah Basins, located on the eastern seaboard of Australia, in New South Wales. The product has been developed by SRK Consulting in two stages within a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) based work platform. First launched in January 2004, the updated study was released in October 2005, to include refinements to the existing 4-D model and other related, interpretive data sets, as well as a more comprehensive information base that supported the development of the model. SRK Consulting acknowledges the financial support and the provision of data made available to the study from the following sponsors: Xstrata Coal, Anglo Coal Australia Pty Ltd, Excel Coal Pty Ltd, BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Centennial Coal Co Ltd, Whitehaven Coal Mining Ltd, Sydney Gas Ltd, CSIRO Division of Petroleum Resources.

The Bowen & Surat Basin Structural Framework Study Is aiming to deliver a new regional and basin model that includes the compilation of a range of open file and company data made available by sponsors. Primary datasets are drill hole/well logs, mine-based geological mapping, geophysical surveys (seismic, magnetic, gravity, radiometric), digital elevation, satellite imagery (Landsat/ASTER), stress measurements and published geological maps in digital and image form. Using a GIS-based work platform, SRK has developed methodologies for interpreting these datasets to define a structural model that includes:
