Location

Areas W07-8 and W07-9 are located on the Yampi Shelf of the Browse Basin, 50–70 km off the northwest coast of Western Australia. Areas W07-10 and W07-11 are located on the Leveque Shelf of the Browse Basin, 90–100 km off the northwest coast of Western Australia (Figure 1). For the purposes of this report, the Yampi and Leveque shelves are regarded as a single tectonic element. Thus the term ‘Yampi Shelf’ here refers to the combined Yampi and Leveque shelves.
