TARGET:Primary target was migrating oil trapped in Algebuckina Sandstone at sites along the Cooryaninna Anticline.EXPLORATION: - Landsat survey, - reconnaissance seismic survey (Curdimurka - Marree Seismic Survey) over the Marree Block in 1985, - soil...

A description of the overall structure and stratigraphy of the Basin and identification of areas for potential coal development, based on all open file information.

Dampier Mining's main objective in taking out this licence was to test a large magnetic complex, situated east of the Peake and Denison Ranges and west of Lake Eyre, for possible economic buried base and precious metal deposits. Grid-based ground...

Possible Jurassic, Algebuckina Formation - hosted sedimentary uranium, and economic Permian coal within the Mount Toondina Formation, were both targeted by exploration within an area located approximately 100 km south-east of Oodnadatta. A 104 line...

TARGET: Diamonds in the Boorthanna Trough. EXPLORATION: A reconnaissance airborne magnetic, radiometric and VLF-EM survey (flown by Aerodata in 1982), a follow-up aeromagnetic survey (flown by Aerodata in 1989), photogeological studies and drainage...

Stockdale's exploration for diamonds in the Barton region, at the start of the licence period, commenced with the evaluation of 136 potential kimberlite targets generated by the detailed in-house interpretation of data acquired from an extensive new...

The base metal and uranium potential of a concealed Proterozoic basement high near Bulgunnia Homestead was evaluated using geological and hydrogeochemical reconnaissance and regional geophysical interpretation approaches. Seismic, ground magnetic and...

Report describes the outcome of approximately 300 line km of seismic detailing of 2 prospects and 7 strong leads prior to possible Block commitment drilling in 1988-1989. A total of 49 lines derived from 8 Pedirka area seismic surveys, including the...

Contains brief reporting status and budget expenditure comments about active exploration programmes, principally comprised of seismic survey acquisition and processing activities, with examples of newly processed seismic sections.

Includes Permian palynology of Purni 1, Witcherrie and Mokari 1, Pedirka Basin.

Includes Part 2 - Upper Palaeozoic and Lower Cretaceous micropalaeontology.

Field mapping of basement lithologies adjacent to, and of fluvial and marine sediments on the north-western margin of, the Eromanga Basin in the Abminga - Mount Irwin area, followed by a scout traverse of 18 stratigraphic core drillholes (total 1600...

A summary of Block petroleum prospectivity prepared prior to starting selective low-key exploration during the 1985-1989 licence period. The report gives the rationale for the proposed work programme of 4 wells and 1900 line km of seismic acquisition...

Four stratigraphic wells were drilled, totalling 5023 feet were drilled, Karkaro No. 1, Mount Furner No. 1, Wallira No 1 and Wallira No. 2 to verify Permian sediments and identify basement reflector. Results indicate shallow platform covered by thin...

Basal sediments of the western Great Artesian Basin record the change from a continental to marine depositional environment during the early Cretaceous. The sequence consists of the Algebuckina Sandstone, the Cadna-Owie Formation and the Mount Anna...

Cootanoorina 1 was drilled about 33 miles south-southwest of Oodnadatta township by the South Australian Department of Mines, as a combined 'on structure' and stratigraphic test in the Arckaringa Sub-Basin region of the Great Artesian Basin. The main...

Mount Willoughby 1 was drilled in the northern part of the Arckaringa Basin as a continuation of the SA Department of Mines stratigraphic study of this area. The well was drilled on the western plateau of a positive gravity high on the Wintinna 1 mile...

Biostratigraphy of drill core and cuttings was erected for Mt Willoughby, and some biostratigraphy of the Lambina 1 was revised. Problems with contamination were encountered.

There is no abstract created for this record

The Pedirka is a Permian infrabasin beneath the western Great Artesian Basin. It lies mainly in the central north of South Australia and the southeast of the Northern Territory but a small part may also extend into Queensland. Much of the eastern...
