This project reviewed literature in order to: - evaluate any downhole environmental risks associated with drilling fluids and completion practices in the Cooper and Eromanga Basins; and - assess the effectiveness of cementing practices in achieving...

Aquifer testing at two sites in the Qualco Sunlands Irrigation Area showed there is no detectable leakage between the Loxton Sands perched aquifer and the underlying Murray Group Limestone aquifer, provided that representative readings were obtained...

This report has been produced to provide a record of road surfacing aggregate production in South Australia, as well as a general guide to the resources that are available and technical requirements for stone for this purpose. The aggregate material...

During the early to mid-1980s, the SADME (SA Department of Mines and Energy) Engineering Division collaborated with CSIRO Soils Division to jointly sponsor a major geomechanics project, investigating metropolitan Adelaide’s problem soils and near...

A five-layer finite difference groundwater flow model (MODFLOW) was developed for the Mallee Region to determine the impacts of irrigation on water levels and salinities. The model was calibrated for steady-state conditions over the entire modelled...

On 22nd February 1952 the writer accompanied Messrs. Gild and England, Engineering and Water Supply Department, on an inspection of a proposed site for the erection of storage tanks in lieu of the original Summit tank proposal for the Mannum -...

A three-layered transient groundwater flow model of the Tertiary Confined Sand Aquifer (TCSA) underlying the South-East of South Australia and south-west region of Victoria has been constructed using MODFLOW software. The model is being used as a...

Groundwater flows mainly through two major aquifer systems: a regionally unconfined aquifer, and an underlying confined aquifer. The two aquifers are separated by a low permeability confining bed (or aquitard). Determining the degree of hydraulic...

Work consisted of gathering all available information and advice on, and assessing the problems associated with, treatment of the Moorlands deposit low rank brown coal to make it a fuel suitable for use in cement manufacture within a newly constructed...

Exploration for gypsum on the eastern Eyre Peninsula, 70 km west of Cowell, resulted in the establishment of mining operations at Terra Leen. Other potential gypsum sources were identified. No exploration for metals was undertaken.

Water well monitoring data from wells on Aboriginal lands (Pitjantjatjara, Yalata and Nepabunna) are summarised for the period April to October 2000. Equipment failure was high, with faults recorded at 17 wells, particularly of the 2100P standing...

In September 1975 the South Australian Department of Mines accepted a proposal from Amdel Ltd to purchase and set up some microthermometry apparatus, in order to commence fluid inclusion studies of selected rock types and minerals in South Australia....

Earthquake records for ten recent natural seismic events regarded as typical of what has already occurred or could occur in the future within or close to the Adelaide area have been analysed by contract civil engineers to determine the dynamic...

Coal samples collected by the SADME Fossil Fuels Div. from the Leigh Creek Coalfield during its recent drilling programme have been examined and analysed according to preset parameters to allow comparison of average coal quality between this field and...
