There are probably more seismic and wells in the Australian sector of Arafura Sea. Based on the well data, the Australian Goverment - Geoscience Ausralia has prepared a stratigraphic scheme of the Arafura Sea.

The interpretation of these seismic lines indicated Paleozoic to Proterozoic interval of stratigraphy.
