In January 1993, 15 water bores in the South-East were sampled for headspace gas. 7 of these bores provided sufficient gas for compositional analysis of hydrocarbons. Methane values ranged from 25% to 92% of the total gas for these bores, with...

This proposal being made to ETSA, for the supply of 1.3 Mt of thermal coal per year over 25 years for electrical power generation at the new Northern Power Station currently being built at Port Augusta, is intended to allow that utility to make an...

An area centred ~ 80 km north of Tarcoola was taken under licence to explore for possible economic buried precious and base metallic mineralisation hosted by Archaean and Proterozoic basement rocks. The area was selected on the basis of it having...

40 samples were analysed for their total organic carbon content, and a subset of the 8 most organically rich samples were analysed using the Rock-Eval pyrolysis technique.

Consultant's report discusses the intrinsic and comparative nature of, plus possible causes for, the unique chemical composition of Lake Phillipson coal, when compared with coal from other low-rank Australian deposits such as Leigh Creek and the...

Licensee Agenco Resources Pty Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nasaco Holdings Pty Ltd. The company is focussed on the development of a very large buried Tertiary lignite resource located near Kingston in the South-East district of South Australia....

The oil appears to have originated from an adjacent submarine oil seep activated 24 days prior to the stranding by an earthquake in the western offshore Otway Basin, 75 km SW of Kingston.

TARGET: Definition of economic brown coal mineralisation in the northern Saint Vincent Basin. EXPLORATION: Open-hole rotary drilling of 127 holes totalling 11,103 m, including a reported minimum of 468 m of HQ rotary coring in 24 of the holes. The...

Organic matter in Jurassic and lower Cretaceous sediments from 5 wells in the central Eromanga Basin was studied microscopically. The lower Jurassic Birkhead Formation, upper Jurassic to lower Cretaceous Murta Member and lower Cretaceous Transition...

Two oil samples from the Birkhead Formation oil reservoir in Spencer 3 and Spencer 4, and five sidewall cores taken from the Bulldog Shale, Murta Member, Hutton Sandstone, Poolowanna Formation and Patchawarra Formation in Spencer 3 were subjected to...

Contains results of whole oil analyses of Jurassic oil reservoir crude oil samples, obtained as DST recoveries, to determine detailed compositional parameters and aromatic maturity factors. Also includes a cross-reference to a student Honours thesis...

Comprises results only of detailed molecular composition, aromatic maturity and GC/MS abundance ratio analyses of three crude oil samples obtained from DSTs run in three separate Mesozoic formations in the wells.

These reports describe the development of an innovative analytical system for petroleum source rock assessment, using both pyrolysis - gas chromatography and pyrolysis - flame ionization detection methods, plus gas condensate and drill cuttings gas...

Five wells along a north-south trending section in the southern Eromanga Basin were studied using petrographic techniques to delineate petroleum source rocks and possibly aid in environmental interpretation. The dispersed organic matter (d.o.m.) in...

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.

Contains results of the general maceral analysis and vitrinite reflectance studies performed on 7 composite drill cuttings samples taken from selected intervals between 1380 and 6760 feet depth.

Organic geochemical analyses of 20 crude oil samples from twelve wells were performed to determine if any genetic oil families could be identified within the Eromanga-Cooper Basin area. The results have been plotted graphically to demonstrate the...

4 samples of conventional drillcores from the Lower Permian section in each of Mokari 1 (depth interval 6074.5-6618.5 feet KB) and Purni 1 (depth interval 4742-5810 feet KB) were analysed for source rock geochemistry. Measurements of vitrinite...

TARGET: Coal in the northern Saint Vincent Basin. EXPLORATION: Rotary open hole and core drilling of over 700 holes, including large diameter core and bulk sampling at the Lochiel and Bowmans trial pits. RESULTS: The Lochiel and Bowmans coal resources...
