Report collates in tabular format the available MESA open file, published literature-based and other University of Adelaide organic geochemical data on the hydrocarbon prospectivity of sediments underlying the Simpson Desert region. Likely oil...

The Mayhew Prospect herein described is by far the largest and highest of two potentially hydrocarbon-bearing structures mapped from pre-1987 Delhi-Santos seismic work in the PEL 48 region, with an area of closure of 250 square km and a vertical...

Contains results of government consultants' palynological and palaeontological studies of drill cuttings and cores, plus data obtained from DST fluid sample water and gas analyses and from conventional core analyses and source rock analytical...

The vitrinite reflectance technique is considered by the PELs 5 and 6 and ATP259P licensees to be the most reliable means of measuring the maturity of a sedimentary sequence. This subject suite of isoreflectance maps was prepared using vitrinite...

Drilling of 39 exploration and appraisal/development wells to investigate potential oil reservoirs within the Lake Hope Block has resulted in the recovery of economic hydrocarbons from 26 of those wells, and has identified 7 reservoir units throughout...

This report examines the prospectivity of PEL 55 in considerable detail, in order to construct a dataset suitable for attracting new farminees so that outstanding drilling work on the licence may be progressed. The favourable setting of the licence...

This is the final in a series of reports prepared for MESA, in which the hydrocarbon source potential of the Pedirka, Simpson and western Eromanga Basins is re-evaluated. Previous work focused on the Eringa Trough of the Pedirka Basin and the...

Wertaloona Seismic Survey - AIM:The 1981 Wertaloona Seismic Survey programme was designed by the PELs 5 and 6 Arrowie Block partners to provide the first high quality, multifold seismic reflection data in the area of likely preserved thick Cambrian...

This geophysical review is based on a recent interpretation of seismic data over the Della Field, including those from the development seismic survey recorded in 1980. Data from the 1978 and 1980 surveys is superior to that from earlier recordings,...

Mature potential source rocks occur in the Juraasic Poolowanna Formation and the Triassic Peera Peera Formation. The lower Poolowanna interval has a greater source potential than does the upper Poolowanna. Marginally mature potential source rocks...

AIM:To obtain reconnaissance regional seismic data over the northern Birdsville Track Ridge, by tying between previous seismic coverage shot in the Wilparoo area of Queensland and along the northern margin of the Patchawarra Trough in the northeastern...

A collection of 5 stratigraphic cross-sections through the Pedirka region of South Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland, at a vertical scale of 1:200. GR and sonic well log correlations are related to geological time intervals, utilizing...

AIM: The Mudlankie Seismic Survey was the first extensive survey using the Vibroseis method to be carried out over a wide area of the southwestern Cooper Basin, and was designed: (1) to augment the mapping of existing fields and improve their...

27 oil samples obtained on drillstem testing of various Mesozoic and Permian formations in wells spread across the Delhi-Santos petroleum exploration licence areas were subjected to organic geochemical analysis to determine their geochemical...

Burial history analysis of the structurally complex eastern Officer Basin region was performed using data from petroleum, trona exploration and stratigraphic wells, seismic upholes, coal drillholes and selected seismic sections, to construct isopachs...

Six rock samples (2 core, 4 cuttings) from Mesozoic acquifers within old water boreholes in the Mulka and Arckaringa Block areas were analysed geochemically for traces of residual oil, using solvent extraction, liquid and gas chromatography and Rock...

TARGET:Primary target was migrating oil trapped in Algebuckina Sandstone at sites along the Cooryaninna Anticline.EXPLORATION: - Landsat survey, - reconnaissance seismic survey (Curdimurka - Marree Seismic Survey) over the Marree Block in 1985, - soil...
