Petroleum geochemistry of the Otway Basin, and the significance of coastal bitumen strandings on adjacent southern Australian beaches. Volumes 1 to 5 source rock studies.
The standing of crude oil on the beaches of southern Australia was first recorded approximately 150 years ago. This material, known locally as coastal bitumen, was used by the early maritime visitors and settlers to caulk their vessels and is the...-

RB 79/00015 Early Cretaceous palynology of SADME Coongra 1, southwestern Eromanga Basin.
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...-

Novel approaches to the determination of the origins of petroleum hydrocarbons in the Cooper-Eromanga Basin system.
In June 1996 MESA commissioned the Centre for Petroleum and Environmental Organic Geochemistry at Curtin University with $30 000 to investigate the applications to the Cooper-Eromanga Basin system of new molecular geochemical concepts recently...-

Notes on the source affinity and thermal maturity of Eromanga Basin crude oils.
Gasoline range hydrocarbon analysis, carbon isotope analysis of C12+ saturates and aromatics and GC-MS analysis of C12+ naphthenes provide a consistent picture of the source affinity and thermal maturity of Cretaceous (Murta Member-type) and Jurassic...-

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...-
