Contains results of the general maceral analysis and vitrinite reflectance studies performed on 15 composite drill cuttings samples taken from selected intervals between 3810 and 6540 feet depth.

An assessment of the oil shale potential of marginal Great Artesian Basin sediments in South Australia was carried out, due mainly to their perceived stratigraphic and lithological similarity to Cretaceous strata in Queensland which host the very...

TARGET: Possible diamonds and source diamondiferous kimberlites in the Boorthanna Trough region. EXPLORATION: Present-day drainage heavy mineral sampling for kimberlitic indicators, follow-up barrage sampling for diamonds, an aerial magnetic survey...

TARGET: Celestite in the Lake Eyre South region. EXPLORATION: Market research, stream sediment, soil and bedrock sampling, backhoe trenching and drilling. RESULTS: A number of small celestite occurrences and strontium-bearing limestone were defined.

Exploration for diamonds in the Millers Creek area, 150 km south-east of Coober Pedy, comprised an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey followed by ground magnetic surveys over aeromagnetic anomalies interpreted to represent potential kimberlites....

In a search for possible diamondiferous Jurassic kimberlites in an area of the Lake Eyre Plains bordering the eastern side of the Peake and Denison Ranges, limited reconnaissance sampling of stream sediments revealed that kimberlitic indicator...

TARGET: Coal in the Arckaringa Basin. EXPLORATION: Rotary drilling (248 holes totalling 56,498 m, including 59 partly cored holes totalling 3555 m. RESULTS: The Wintinna, East Wintinna, Westfield and Murloocoppie coal deposits were discovered and...

TARGET: Diamonds. EXPLORATION: Drilling (1 rotary hole totalling 306 m) over a possible buried kimberlitic diatreme identified from seismic and gravity surveys. RESULTS: No kimberlite was intersected.

Over the report period Agip Australia completed the drilling and geophysical logging of 39 open rotary holes totalling 3845 m to investigate if economic coal seams occur within Permian sediments of the southern Arckaringa Basin. Although the Permian...

In the reporting period to 30th June 1995 for Exploration Licence 1944, Heathgate Pty Ltd completed no fieldwork, however geological evaluation work was undertaken. This work consisted of laboratory testing of drill core from a 1991 drilling program...

The continuation of Heathgate's programme of exploration for economic buried Tertiary sediment-hosted uranium mineralisation within part of the north-western Frome Embayment during 2012-2013 has comprised exploratory drilling of 36 vertical rotary mud...

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...

Nineteen drill cuttings and 15 drill core samples of Permian, Cretaceous and Jurassic ages were assessed for organic maturation and source rock potential.

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...

Report collates in tabular format the available MESA open file, published literature-based and other University of Adelaide organic geochemical data on the hydrocarbon prospectivity of sediments underlying the Simpson Desert region. Likely oil...

The Mayhew Prospect herein described is by far the largest and highest of two potentially hydrocarbon-bearing structures mapped from pre-1987 Delhi-Santos seismic work in the PEL 48 region, with an area of closure of 250 square km and a vertical...

9 Eringa Trough well rock samples were studied to provide age control for a thermal and tectonic history study being conducted by MESA and the NCPGG.

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...
