Two observation wells were drilled and they penetrated the entire Tertiary sequence, with 1 cased to basement, and the other completed in the lowermost Tertiary aquifer. Two pumping tests were carried out in the lower Tertiary aquifer and 2 in the...

The investigation has included drilling, test pumping, expansion of the water level observation network, the establishment of a salinity observation network, geophysical logging of observation wells and a land use survey. Facies changes and...

The importance of engineering geology has been emphasised since the 1950s. when construction commenced in the city of a new generation of multistorey buildings. Foundation drilling along with geological and geophysical services provided by the...

Minlaton Bore intersected 596 feet of Lower Permian (?lowermost Sakmarian) glacigenes and then a lower Middle to Lower Cambrian succession 2459 feet thick consisting in downward sequence of Ramsey Limestone (105 feet), red bed clastics (456 feet),...

Beach Petroleum Black Point No. 1 Stratigraphic Well intersected 574 feet of mostly recent and lower Tertiary sediments before entering lower to middle Cambrian red-bed arkrose of an unnamed formation which has been mapped at Pint Point and Rocky...

Grange No. 1 Well was drilled to a depth of 1983 feet, and penetrated a sedimentary sequence of Quaternary and Tertiary rocks to 1872 feet before bottoming in red shale and grey slates of Proterozoic Age. Pleistocene to Recent sandy clays with some...

Beach Petroleum Troubridge Shoal No. 1 Stratigraphic Well, drilled to a depth of 1600 feet intersected Recent, Subrecent and Tertiary sediments to 850 feet below which 750 feet of Lower Permian glacial marine rocks were intersected. The Tertiary...

Pt. Vincent Stratigraphic well was drilled to a depth of 150 feet, penetrating recent to subrecent sands and shellbeds to 40 feet, before entering and bottoming in limestones and marls of Miocene age (Port Willunga Beds).
