Play analysis mapping of potential hydrocarbon targets is the focus of this project. Available here are all Petrosys mapping files and subsequent output maps. Onshore Otway Basin plays ---------------------------------- Windermere Sandstone play...

The Mount Painter and Mount Babbage Inliers, located in the north-eastern Flinders Ranges, consist predominantly of Palaeoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic metasediments and granites, and Neoproterozoic to Cambrian sediments of the Adelaide Geosyncline....

100 earthquakes from the South Australian earthquake catalogue, between 2007 to mid-2015, were selected in an area of the Fleurieu Peninsula with the densest seismograph coverage. The model consists of an earthquake magnitude map, ranging from near...

The eastern Gawler Craton hosts the giant Olympic Dam iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposit, as well as several other world class IOCG deposits (i.e. Prominent Hill and Carrapateena). The region is covered by a thick sequence of...

The Gawler Province 3D Geological Model is the second product of PIRSA's early 3D modelling trials conducted using 3D GeoModeller software. The work began with identifying the statigraphic units that were to be modelled. Due to the regional scale of...

The South Australian Geophysical Reference Model (SAGRM) integrates 3D geophysical data that covers the entire state to a depth of 100 km. The model incorporates new gravity, magnetic, and magnetotelluric inversions with existing deep crustal...

A joint Geoscience Australia - PIRSA survey of earthquake activity within the Flinders Ranges region, which was conducted from September 2003 to July 2005, used 18 seismographs (including some Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource equipment)...

This model was produced by The South Australian Centre for Mineral Exploration Under Cover (CMXUC), a collaborative research initiative of the Government of South Australia and the University of Adelaide. The northern to central Flinders Ranges area...

The Cultana 3D Geological Model covers an area which includes the Roopena and western half of the Cultana 1:100,000 map sheet areas. The geology of the model area comprises a succession of deformed Palaeoproterozoic sedimentary and intrusive rocks...

Exploration on EL 6713, Ceduna Project, in the western Gawler Craton was initial focused on Ni-Cu-PGE magmatic style mineralisation around the Cooper Hill and Kalanbi Prospects, with a later shift to clay hosted rare earth element (REE)...

This model was produced by The South Australian Centre for Mineral Exploration Under Cover (CMXUC), a collaborative research initiative of the Government of South Australia and the University of Adelaide. In this area, basement is buried beneath...

The onshore Otway gross depositional environment (GDE) maps are the culmination of geological understanding in each interval with results from whole of-basin (chrono-stratigraphic) well correlation, seismic horizon/fault mapping, seismic facies...

Petroleum system modelling (PSM) is the focus of this project with hydrocarbon expulsion maps a key output. Available here are all modelling files and subsequent outputs, including gas and oil expulsion maps

pXRF Analysis of Historical Drilling

Approximately 770m of core from 23 wells across the basin (all key intervals) were rendered into a WellCAD format, depth matched to wireline logs and core plugs. Subsequently standardised Depositional Environment (DE) and Gross Depositional...

A new understanding of the stratigraphic order of petroleum source and reservoir rocks has been developed. This updated onshore Otway chart is available for download here.
