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...

Techniques for mitigating the environmental impacts of geophysical exploration track cutting, and for rehabilitating existing tracks in the central Australian arid zone, were researched. Detailed observations were made at 60 sites in a wide range of...

An area located on the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin, and centred ~60 km north-east of Fowlers Bay, has now been taken under licence by WA-based company Iluka Resources to explore for possible buried economic occurrences of zircon-rich heavy...

AIM: The 1986 Ingomar Seismic Survey was programmed to continue the regional investigation of basement depth in PEL 24, and to delineate any possible structural and stratigraphic hydrocarbon traps within troughs of the central-eastern Arckaringa...

AIM; The 1990 Hatherleigh Seismic Survey was programmed to obtain modern detailed and regional infill Vibroseis coverage of the Rivoli Trough. The major objective for licence Year 1 was to provide a detailed 1 km grid of dip lines across the...

13 Early Cambrian drill core samples from three wells on Yorke Peninsula were analysed primarily to determine the presence or absence of dinosteranes in their preserved organic material. In addition, a beach strand tar ball from the southern coast of...

Port Julia 1A was recently drilled by BHP Minerals in EL 1112 to investigate a bullseye magnetic anomaly, but failed to realise its mineral-related objective. The well was fully cored through the Cambrian Coobowie Limestone, Moonan Formation and...

AIM: To obtain detailed coverage of potential drilling prospects, and add to the regional grid over the permit area. Work would initially focus on the Rocky strong lead, the main permit Year 6 drilling candidate, and then embrace the remaining six...

The Stansbury Basin is a relatively unexplored Cambrian sedimentary basin in South Australia. Good quality seismic data has defined a large untested prospect, the Investigator prospect, which has the potential to contain 200 to 300 mmbbl of oil, or...

Contains the results of an organic petrology contractor's vitrinite reflectance and maceral analysis of 2 Permian sidewall core samples, plus the results of the tenement operator's separate analyses of 14 and 21 Late Carboniferous to Early Permian...

New palynology has confirmed the pattern of algal maxima associated with high gamma ray well log response within the Laira Shale, and indicates that there are 3 major and regionally correlatable 'hot shale' horizons, plus a less obvious one, within...

Includes, besides the operator's DEF and Guide to environmental care during exploration, the results of SA State government consultants' pioneering field surveys within the licence of the botanical diversity and vertebrate faunal populations in seldom...

Offshore data from EPPSA15 was reviewed with all available data to compare the onshore basin morphology. Prospectivity is extremely low. Recent drilling in the offshore portion of the Polda Trough have substantially downgraded the licence area. Major...

This report critically reassesses the biomarker geochemistry of the crude oil show encountered in the Wilkatana 1 well, using new analytical data, then compares its molecular composition with that of other Australian Cambrian oils, and discusses the...
