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...-

Organic petrology: Macumba 1 and Poolowanna 1 wells through the Eromanga, Simpson Desert and Pedirka Basins.
The dispersed organic matter content of drill cuttings samples from the subject wells was examined microscopically to assess its hydrocarbon potential. In general it appears that the Cretaceous and Permian sediments are unlikely to be good source...-

Organic petrology of samples from a group of four wells in the Simpson Desert and Pedirka Basins.
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...-

Poolowanna Formation study report.
A review of the depositional setting, reservoir, seal and trapping potential of the Poolowanna Formation in the Eromanga Basin has been undertaken covering PELs 5 and 6. Extensive interpretation of wireline logs and available palynological data...-

Source rock and petroleum geochemistry of the Simpson [Desert] Basin and superjacent western Eromanga Basin (Pandieburra 1, Poonarunna 1, Putamurdie 1).
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...-

Stratigraphic cross sections through the Pedirka region.
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...-

Synthesis of palynological source rock data (from the) Cooper and Eromanga Basins.
Palynological analyses contribute to characterising the amount, type and maturity of organic matter in sedimentary rocks, and thus assist in determining what are potential, effective and post-mature source rocks. Measurement of the volume of organic...-

Crude oil characterisation and correlation study, twenty-seven oils, South Australia-Queensland Cooper-Eromanga Basin.
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...-

Organic petrology of samples from a selected group of wells in or near the Arckaringa Block.
34 selected drill core and cuttings samples from six wells were assessed by petrographic methods for their degree of organic maturation and petroleum source potential. The sampled sequence ranged in age from ?Devonian through to Permian, Jurassic and...-

Regional isopach maps of the Jurassic sequence in the Eromanga Basin. A preliminary approach.
Report discusses the compilation and interpretation of 5 isopach maps prepared to illustrate spatial and temporal patterns of regional structural growth history in the Eromanga Basin sequence. The maps also provide a basis for predicting regional...-

Late Palaeozoic and Mesozoic palynostratigraphical units.
The basic palynostratigraphical subdivision of the Cooper / Galilee / Eromanga and the Surat / Bowen Basin regions was developed in the 1960s. Since that time, the basic unit nomenclature (J1, Tr2a, etc.) applied then has been retained so as to give...-
