83 open rotary reconnaissance holes totalling 3577.5 m, and 1 PQ diamond corehole to 45.5 m depth, were drilled 85 km west of Tarcoola, to investigate if sedimentary uranium deposits occur buried there in association with fluvial Tertiary...

Coal seam thickness averages 9.55 metres. In situ reserves are 8.85 MT. Recoverable coal reserves are 8.6 MT. Capital required to bring the mine into operation is $15.2 M. The real average cost of production is $13.69 / T.

Within the 1160 square km of presently relinquished ground, 66 exploratory rotary drillholes totalling 6178 m were completed between 1975 and 1986, of which 43 holes tested the Snowtown coal deposit centred about 10 km north-east of Snowtown. With...

Exploration work included geophysical surveys, reprocessing of airborne radiometric data, and rotary and diamond drilling (237 holes totalling 5975 m; total depths from 3-55 m) in a search for sedimentary uranium in Tertiary palaeochannels, and gold...

PEL 00174 was granted on 24th Nov 2010 for an initial period of 5 years to Energy Exploration Pty Ltd. This licence covers an area of some 3318km2 over the western part of the Murray Basin and more particularly over the Sedan and Anna coal deposits....

The dispersed organic matter content of drill cuttings samples from the subject wells was examined microscopically to assess its hydrocarbon potential. In general it appears that the Cretaceous and Permian sediments are unlikely to be good source...

Sixty five samples from 4 wells were examined for organic matter type and abundance, and maturation levels. The Late Permian Purni and Early Jurassic Poolowanna Formations contain the best source rocks in the Poolowanna Trough. These sequences are...

TARGET: Possible diamonds in the Barton region. EXPLORATION: Acquisition of an aerial magnetic-radiometric-VLF EM survey (line spacing: 300 m; altitude: 70 m) led to field investigations of 142 potential kimberlite targets generated from this survey...

Thirteen contiguous exploration licences located along the western margin of the Tertiary Murray Basin were taken up by CRA to search for economic buried brown coal / lignite deposits of the type already known from small discoveries that had been made...

Samples of ?Ordovician to Cretaceous sediments taken from 5 Pedirka Basin petroleum exploration wells, and of crude oils recovered from the Jurassic Poolowanna and Triassic Peera Peera Formations intersected in Poolowanna 1, were examined. The...

A study of source-rock richness has entailed the evaluation of TOC data for the Eromanga and Cooper Basins. TOC analyses were averaged and plotted on 1:250 000 basemaps, on a formation by formation basis. The data were contoured by honouring all data...

Drill cuttings samples of the Birkhead Formation from a further 16 wells to those originally sampled were selected for a petrographic study of the organic matter they contain. Comparisons were made between the organic petrographic characteristics of...

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent, thickness and facies of the Permian Arckaringa Basin where it overlies the Officer basin in central northern South Australia. Marine sediments provide important data for sea level curves, and...

EPPs 10 and 11 currently comprise 239 graticular blocks (approximately 17 000 sq km) in the Great Australian Bight Basin. No wells have yet been drilled in these permits which lie entirely in water depths greater than 200 m and ranging down to 1 500...

Drill cuttings samples of the Birkhead Formation from 16 wells were selected for a petrographic study of the organic matter they contain. Comparisons were made between the organic petrographic characteristics of wells with no shows in either the...
