This review summarises Block exploration to date, provides a lengthy outline of the petroleum geology, and quantifies future hydrocarbon potential with respect to play concepts and mapped prospects and leads. Exploratory works comprising 49 wells,...

A summary of Block petroleum prospectivity prepared prior to starting selective low-key exploration during the 1985-1989 licence period. The report gives the rationale for the proposed work programme of 4 wells and 1900 line km of seismic acquisition...

Yardinna no. 1 well, drilled 20 miles NW of Oodnadatta township intersected the Lower Cretaceous Oodnadatta Formation and bottomed at 512 feet in Bulldog shale also of early Cretaceous age. Both the Coorikiana Sandstone Member, the basal unit of the...

The Gason 1:250 000 sheet area is centred about 850 km north of Adelaide, in the South Australian portion of the Great Artesian Basin. The area mapped includes most of the Gason Dome, a gentle upwarp in a relatively flat-lying sequence of Mesozoic and...

The NOOLYEANA 1:250 000 sheet area lies in the northern portion of the Great Artesian Basin in South Australia. The area mapped includes the southern part of the Simpson Desert and the very northern end of Lake Eyre North. The oldest outcrops in the...

The PANDIE PANDIE 1:250 000 map area lies in the most northerly portion of the Great Artesian Basin in South Australia. The western half of the area is covered by the longitudinal dunes of the Simpson Desert, while the remainder is covered by (a) the...

Discharge from visited springs in the Dalhousie area was estimated at .86 cumecs. There may be as much as .02 cumecs additional seepage through many smaller seeps in the area which were not visited. The spring waters were alkaline, with a pH varying...

Two cores from Oodnadatta Town Bore No. 2 were examined for microfossils. A fishing core at about 72m is of Late Albian to ?Conomanian age and is correlated with the Mount Alexander Sandstone Member of the Oodnadatta Formation in Santos Oodnadatta No....

The LAKE EYRE 1:250 000 sheet area is located about 750 km north of Adelaide on the south-western margin of the Great Artesian Basin. The map area incorporates 15 950 square km, with Lake Eyre itself covering about half of this area. The oldest...

Oodnadatta Town Bore 2 was drilled to supplement the water supply of Oodnadatta, and also to enhance the stratigraphic knowledge of the area. It was drilled to a total depth of 439.48 metres KB, and after pump testing achieved a flow rate of 3.4...

The KOPPERAMANNA map area covers arid stony tableland and sandridge desert on the Birdsville Track, in the Great Australian Artesian Basin about 100 km north of Marree and to the east of Lake Eyre, South Australia. The Cooper Creek crosses the area...

The POOLOWANNA 1:250 000 sheet area is located about 1000 km north of Adelaide, in the extreme north of the South Australian part of the Great Artesian Basin. It is entirely covered by the central southern end of the Simpson Desert. The oldest mapped...

Exploration for possible economic buried sedimentary uranium mineralisation, thought to be associated with an interpreted palaeodrainage EM anomaly originating within Mesozoic or Tertiary strata in two areas near Marree, addressed the potential for...

An area located approximately 75 km north-west of Oodnadatta is being explored for possible economic sedex style or MVT base metal sulphides that could have formed in Permian and early Cambrian sediments, and for any Proterozoic basement-hosted IOCG...

In a search for possible economic stratabound or epithermal/hydrothermal base metal sulphides and gold within two areas taken out to the north-west of Oodnadatta, prior work completed on EL 2958 by the principal licensee had highlighted a prospective...

An area located approximately 50 km east of William Creek and abutting the western shoreline of Lake Eyre North was taken up to explore for possible concealed IOCG style base metal and uranium deposits, that could have formed in buried Archaean to...

The WINTINNA 1:250 000 mapsheet area lies between latitudes 27° to 28° South and longitudes 133°30’ to 135°00’ East. This ~16 400 square km area includes the Marla and Cadney Park settlements, and is crossed by the Stuart Highway and Adelaide to...

The MARREE mapsheet area includes the south-western portion of the Strzelecki Desert plus parts of the Tirari Desert, north-western Flinders Ranges and north-eastern Willouran Ranges, between latitudes 29 to 30 degrees S and longitudes 138 to 139...
