Abstract

The recent interest in Permian black shales of the Main Karoo Basin as an unconventional gas resource requires a robust correlation scheme to identify potential target horizons across the basin. New palynological data from a recently drilled deep borehole in the southern Karoo (KWV-1), as well as outcrop data obtained from the Ecca Pass, the type section of the Permian Ecca Group, are presented to highlight the potential of palynomorph ranges for cross-basin correlation of black shale formations. Available radiometric dates from the Ecca Pass section and southwestern Karoo enable the first chronostratigraphic calibration of the detected palynomorph ranges. The calibrated dataset is a vital tool for shale gas exploration in the southern Karoo.
