A high resolution seismic reflection survey was completed by SADME on the SW margin of the Great Artesian Basin near Lake Eyre South. 38.9 line km of data was recorded from 17.9.85 to 14.12.85. Geophysical Service Inc. (Adelaide) were contracted for...

Results of mapping, particularly basal Mesozoic sandstone unit, description of sections and borehole study of cuttings from 14 holes.

5 spore / pollen zones and 3 dinoflagellate zones are recognised in Toodla 1, ranging from late Jurassic to Late Albian. The Mesozoic units penetrated by this well on palynological evidence are younger than traditionally recognised in other parts of...

Coongra 1 stratigraphic well, located at Latitude 27º 8´ 15"S, Longitude 134º 8´ 20"E was drilled to 200.20 m total depth in Cretaceous sediments of the south-western Eromanga Basin, in an area of shallow basement. Two drill cuttings samples taken...

This report virtually completes a systematic survey of mound springs around the south-western edge of the Great Artesian Basin in South Australia. There are as yet about 20 springs left unsampled, mostly on BILLAKALINA, in the Francis Swamp and...

Two production water wells were drilled during March-May, 1974. The wells are located about 1 km apart within the Coober Pedy town area, and both draw upon the Cadna-Owie Formation. Salinity is uniformly high in both holes, at 16,600 - 16,700 mg/l....

Skeleton 2 penetrated sediments of the eastern Lake Eyre Basin, the Frome Embayment, and granitic basement of the Mount Painter Ridge. The hole records the southernmost known occurrence of Cadna-owie Formation in the Frome Embayment. Unexpectedly,...

Extensive field geological mapping, augmented by petrological and geochemical studies, reinterpretation of company drilling and water-bore logs and a nine-hole drilling programme has detailed the geology of the KINGOONYA area. The stratigraphy spans...

The sample from A68 E427190/53J N7068100 is Early Cretaceous (uppermost Barremian) in age and correlative with the Cadna-owie Formation. Open marine conditions are indicated, this being typical of the upper part of the formation in the southwestern...

Ten outcrop samples, including carbonaceous muds, siltstone and limestone concretions, were collected as part of a study of Early Cretaceous palaeoclimate. The samples were all of Bulldog Shale from a shallow water marine environment, except for...

Data collected from 116 flowing and 24 non-flowing wells included shut in pressure, temperature, flow rate, pH, headworks condition and full chemical analyses of water samples. An observation network is to monitor controlled flowing wells every 2 years.

Samples of calcareous concretions, mudstone, siltstone and sandstone were assigned an Aptian age.

A combined EM, resistivity and seismic refraction survey was carried out in the Great Artesian Basin near Lake Eyre South between 18.9.86 and 8.10.86. 15 vertical electrical soundings, 12 Sirotem traverses (150 readings) and 7 refraction spreads were...

The survey was carried out by SADME on the SW margin of the Great Artesian Basin near Lake Eyre South. 22.9 line km of explosive cord shot data and 5 lines were recorded, each of 4-fold CDP coverage and 2-fold vertical stack. Seismograph Service Ltd...

3 diamond and 15 rotary-percussion holes were drilled in 1987 by CRA within EL 1330 on the southern part of the Field (PSF), this licence having been granted to the company for the exploration of strata below 50 metres depth in the subsurface. The...

SADME stratigraphic drillhole Ruby Hill 1 was sited 10.4 km east of William Creek, and was designed to penetrate Early Cretaceous rocks of the Eromanga Basin and to sample pre-Mesozoic basement. It intersected 191 m of the Eromanga Basin sedimentary...

Palynological evidence indicates that all 13 submitted drill core sedimentary rock samples, excepting one (taken at 138.2 metres depth in hole A68-1), are late Aptian to earliest Albian in age. The sediments were deposited in environments ranging...

Exploration of a 4600 square km project area comprising five licences in two contiguous groups within the Kingoonya region has targeted two distinct styles of uranium mineralisation. The primary focus was on possible sandstone - hosted deposits within...

Three areas located along the southern margin of the Eromanga Basin, east and south-east of Marree and adjacent to the Strzelecki Track, have been explored for possible economic sedimentary uranium accumulations in porous Mesozoic sandstones, as it...
