Newman Energy Research Ltd conducted VIRF analysis on 10 cuttings samples from Echidna-1. VIRF (Vitrinite-Inertinite Reflectance and Fluorescence, or VRF®) utilises paired fluorescence and reflectance measurements as a numerical basis for...

Numerical simulation, using Particle Flow Code 2 Dimension (PFC2D) was performed to predict geomechanical properties of sealing rocks from the Otway Basin and North West Shelf Using this technique, the effect of clay abundance in specimen on seal...

The Wynn area was reassessed for up dip potential to the east of Wynn 1. Wynn 1 is located in PEL32 the Otway Basin, South Australia. Detailed mapping revealed a structurally complex area, which has been subjected to extensional and compressive...

5 rock samples collected from Ngalia Basin and Georgina Basin Proterozoic glacial sediment outcrops in the region north of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory are described.

Apatite fission-track analyses from the area north of Jameson Land, East Greenland, indicate that the region has undergone at least three phases of cooling during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Two major periods of cooling during the Tertiary have been...

An interpretation of reservoir properties has been carried out using washed and dried drill cuttings from the Yarrow 1 and Yarrow 2 wellbores. The intervals examined (adjusted to equivalent wireline depths) were from 2670 – 2724 metres in...

Report presents the basic data and geochronological age interpretations for 89 K-Ar and 64 Rb-Sr isotopic analyses, made on metamorphic, granitic and volcanic rock samples derived from parts of the Musgrave Block visited by SADME geologists between...

Detailed geological and structural mapping of Samin's partly excavated new Burra open cut was performed by the author at a scale of 1:480 during the period December 1972 to end of January 1973. By the latter date the pit had been excavated downwards a...

An absolute age of 677 Ma +/- 12 Ma was determined from analyses of six selected zircon grains separated from the subject volcanic rock sample, but the result is strongly affected by the need to impose large corrections to the data to compensate for...

The bulk of the late Archaean volcanic/volcaniclastic rocks from the Gawler Craton range in age from c. 2535 to 2510 Ma (Fanning, Reid and Teale 2007). However, these units were preceded by an older set of volcanics, the c. 2558 calcalkaline volcanics...

The annual Letter Books comprise 19 volumes, which contain primary copies of all of HYL Brown’s early work-related correspondence written after 1882, in his official capacity as SA Government Geologist, to his employer the SA Minister of Mines, plus...

Two additional phases of the drilling program to assess the groundwater resources in the Clare Valley were undertaken during March 1998 at Wendouree (Phase III), and during July 2000 at Wendouree and Watervale Oval (Phase IV). The Phase III program...

A single sample from the Munyarai-1 well, submitted for analysis by MESA, Adelaide. The principle objective was to obtain some constraint on the depositional age of the host unit. 2. Track counts from five grains gave a pooled fission track age of...

Primary Industries and Resources SA submitted 8 core samples to PGPC from the Warburton Basin, for detailed petrological description and X-ray diffraction analysis. Dr Doug Mason of Mason Geoscience Pty Ltd has described three igneous samples. This...

This paper introduces a formal lithostratigraphic scheme for major subdivisions of the Olary Domain, and compares these subdivisions to those of the Broken Hill Domain, these two domains being the main components of the Curnamona Province. The scheme...

Mintaro Slate is produced from what is believed to be the oldest continuously operating quarry in Australia. The quarry was opened in the early 1850s, after Mintaro farmer Peter Brady discovered outcrops of slate in a creek bed on his property and...
