Aspects of coal type and rank variation, and their bearing on hydrocarbon potential in seven wells from the southern Cooper Basin.
Seven wells along a line of section in the southern Cooper Basin were studied. Examination of coals in Permian and Triassic sequences revealed marked vertical and lateral trends in vitrinite, inertinite and exinite content and their microlithotypes....-

RB 2000/00032 Source rock potential and algal matter abundance, Cooper Basin, South Australia.
The Late Palaeozoic Cooper Basin is a major source of hydrocarbons and is especially important in providing the natural gas needs of much of south-eastern Australia. The basin is now a mature petroleum province, with more than 1200 wells drilled and...-
