Novel approaches to the determination of the origins of petroleum hydrocarbons in the Cooper-Eromanga Basin system.
In June 1996 MESA commissioned the Centre for Petroleum and Environmental Organic Geochemistry at Curtin University with $30 000 to investigate the applications to the Cooper-Eromanga Basin system of new molecular geochemical concepts recently...-

Organic petrology: Macumba 1 and Poolowanna 1 wells through the Eromanga, Simpson Desert and Pedirka Basins.
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...-

Block review, basin analysis and hydrocarbon prospectivity of the Pedirka Block in the Pedirka Sector.
The Purni, Peera Peera and Poolowanna Formations were evaluated in terms of depositional and structural basin analysis using the model of Genetic Increments of strata (GIS). Eight reservoir intervals have been identified and the pertinent reservoir...-

Organic petrology of samples from a group of four wells in the Simpson Desert and Pedirka Basins.
Sixty five samples from 4 wells were examined for organic matter type and abundance, and maturation levels. The Late Permian Purni and Early Jurassic Poolowanna Formations contain the best source rocks in the Poolowanna Trough. These sequences are...-
