PEL 46 was cancelled on 6/4/92 following receipt of a geological evaluation and review of petroleum potential in the region, but no subsequent action on the seismic reprocessing portion of the Year One work commitment for the licence. The withdrawal...

Over the report period Agip Australia completed the drilling and geophysical logging of 39 open rotary holes totalling 3845 m to investigate if economic coal seams occur within Permian sediments of the southern Arckaringa Basin. Although the Permian...

Diamond exploration undertaken in the Peake and Denison Ranges included the acquisition and processing of aerial magnetic, radiometric and heliborne magnetic and VLF-EM surveys, with follow-up ground magnetic and Sirotem surveys, plus extensive...

In the reporting period to 30th June 1995 for Exploration Licence 1944, Heathgate Pty Ltd completed no fieldwork, however geological evaluation work was undertaken. This work consisted of laboratory testing of drill core from a 1991 drilling program...

TARGET: Diamonds in the William Creek area, and areas south-east of the Peake and Denison Ranges. EXPLORATION: Regional stream sediment and loam sampling supported by geological mapping and ground magnetic surveys located 2 areas rich in kimberlitic...

The Purni, Peera Peera and Poolowanna Formations were evaluated in terms of depositional and structural basin analysis using the model of Genetic Increments of strata (GIS). Eight reservoir intervals have been identified and the pertinent reservoir...

Potential mature source rocks occur in the Poolowanna Formation, the Peera Peera Formation and the upper part of the Walkandi Formation. In addition, marginally mature potential source rocks with fair to moderate TOC may be present in the lower half...

AIM:To define a variety of structures indicated by earlier regional seismic work (the 1976 Pillan Hill and 1979 Peera Peera Seismic Surveys), and establish three possible drilling locations.METHODS: Survey dates: 25/6/80 - 8/11/81. Energy source:...

An assessment of the petroleum potential of the Pedirka farmout area, occasioned by the February 1989 compulsory 25% acreage relinquishment of PELs 5 and 6. Items reviewed include Block geology, farmout arrangements, future commitments, an inventory...

Drilling activities, seismic acquisition and processing parameters, prospect data summaries, and current exploration program status and expenditure versus forecast levels are itemized. Exploration included: Regional Seismic Surveys: - 1964...

AIM:The 1982 Christmas Creek Seismic Survey was designed to cover a wide area of the sparsely explored western farmout blocks of PELs 5 and 6, where Eromanga Basin sediments thin and overly sub-basins of variously aged prospective sediments. Primary...

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...

A review of the Permo-Triassic and Mesozoic distribution of reservoir units. Data for some Birdsville Track Ridge wells are included as the development of the Pedirka Sector basins and the Birdsville Track Ridge are closely related.

AIM:To integrate good quality new data into the regional seismic grid and mature known structural prospects and leads as potential gas drilling targets, plus explore virgin territory as part of a systematic long-term Vibroseis mapping project in the...

Exploration from 1982 includes: Christmas Creek - ARC Seismic Survey (see Envs 4808 and 5064),. Hogarth - ARC Seismic Survey, . Morphett - ARC Seismic Survey,. drilling of 2 wells (Birribiana 1 and Hans Knob 1), (see Envs 7034/6 and 7043/6)....

AIM:To extend the regional seismic grid to areas not previously covered by the Lake Thomas, Beal Hill and Pillan Hill surveys, to find leads for subsequent seismic detailing, and to investigate the regional structural configuration to allow further...

AIM: To mature several large structural leads, map possible stratigraphic traps on the flanks of regional highs and extend the regional Vibroseis coverage. METHODS: Survey dates: 10/4/79 - 23/11/79. Energy source: Vibroseis. CDP coverage: 1200%....

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...

AIM:The 1978 Perigundi Seismic Survey was the fourth modern, digital Vibroseis survey conducted in the Cooper Basin, and was based on similar concepts to the 1973 Mudlankie, 1975 Tooroopie and 1976 Callamurra regional surveys, namely: 1) to further...

In June 1995, by arrangement with PEL 55 operator Stirling Resources NL, joint venturer Pan Pacific Petroleum undertook a brief seismic workstation-based preliminary mapping review of the Mulapula area of PEL 55. The objectives of the project were...
