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...-

Petroleum geochemistry and source-rock potential of the Arrowie, Pedirka, Cooper and Eromanga Basins, central Australia.
Samples of ?Ordovician to Cretaceous sediments taken from 5 Pedirka Basin petroleum exploration wells, and of crude oils recovered from the Jurassic Poolowanna and Triassic Peera Peera Formations intersected in Poolowanna 1, were examined. The...-

PEL 50, Eromanga Basin, South Australia. Farm-out brochure and supporting data.
Petroleum Exploration Licence 50 in northern South Australia covers approximately 9714 square km of the prospective Eromanga Basin, in which over 400 million barrels of oil in place have been discovered since 1977. To date, only 3 exploratory wells...-

Source rock richness in the Eromanga and Cooper Basins. Total organic carbon (TOC) data.
A study of source-rock richness has entailed the evaluation of TOC data for the Eromanga and Cooper Basins. TOC analyses were averaged and plotted on 1:250 000 basemaps, on a formation by formation basis. The data were contoured by honouring all 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...-

Source rock analysis of samples from Erabena 1, Simpson Desert region, SA.
Mature potential source rocks occur in the Juraasic Poolowanna Formation and the Triassic Peera Peera Formation. The lower Poolowanna interval has a greater source potential than does the upper Poolowanna. Marginally mature potential source rocks...-
