Due to its thin sequence and shallow depth of burial, most of the Arckaringa Basin is predicted to be immature for hydrocarbon generation in traditional terms. Source rock and vitrinite studies in the Boorthanna Trough however indicate that the basal...

AIM:The 1982 Christmas Creek Seismic Survey was designed to cover a wide area of the sparsely explored western farmout blocks of PELs 5 and 6, where Eromanga Basin sediments thin and overly sub-basins of variously aged prospective sediments. Primary...

A review of the Permo-Triassic and Mesozoic distribution of reservoir units. Data for some Birdsville Track Ridge wells are included as the development of the Pedirka Sector basins and the Birdsville Track Ridge are closely related.

Exploration from 1982 includes: Christmas Creek - ARC Seismic Survey (see Envs 4808 and 5064),. Hogarth - ARC Seismic Survey, . Morphett - ARC Seismic Survey,. drilling of 2 wells (Birribiana 1 and Hans Knob 1), (see Envs 7034/6 and 7043/6)....

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

The structural relationships of the sediments of the Boorthanna Trough are discussed. This feature has an areal extent of approximately 6480 square miles, with dimensions of 32 miles by 180 miles north to south. The structural limits of the trough...

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent, thickness and facies of the Permian Arckaringa Basin where it overlies the Officer basin in central northern South Australia. Marine sediments provide important data for sea level curves, and...

13 sedimentary rock samples from Proterozoic through to Mesozoic formations intersected in 5 Officer Basin wells yielded apatite fission track analysis data (track length and density) used to interpret, via statistical modelling, the broad geothermal...

Oil shales of extremely high quality have been intersected in Weedina 1 and Boorthanna 1. The main target horizon appears to approximate the top of the Stuart Range Formation but the stratigraphic position, thickness and extent of the oil shales are...

Burial history analysis of the structurally complex eastern Officer Basin region was performed using data from petroleum, trona exploration and stratigraphic wells, seismic upholes, coal drillholes and selected seismic sections, to construct isopachs...

34 selected drill core and cuttings samples from six wells were assessed by petrographic methods for their degree of organic maturation and petroleum source potential. The sampled sequence ranged in age from ?Devonian through to Permian, Jurassic and...

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.

Airborne and ground geophysical surveys were undertaken in the Billa Kalina area, prior to commencing to drill in a search for Olympic Dam type Cu-U-Au mineralised haematitic breccias, in order to delineate and detail several broad magnetic anomalies...

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...

TARGET: Possible diamondiferous kimberlites subcropping under Cainozoic cover in an area located 110 km north-east of Glendambo. EXPLORATION: Acquisition and interpretation of 6759 line km of airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, regolith heavy...

The South Australian Department of Mines drilled seven stratigraphic wells between 1969 and 1971 in the Arckaringa Basin. This study presents the stratigraphic information obtained and attempts to collate all available information in a syntheses of...

Lower Permian sediments occur in all the main sedimentary basins of South Australia. The Cape Jervis Beds are described, and the Lake Phillipson Beds and Stuart Range Beds formally named. In general, the formations follow a sequence of boulder clay...

The SA Department of Mines drilled seven stratigraphic wells between 1969 and 1971 in the Arckaringa Basin. This study presents the stratigraphic information obtained and attempts to collate all available information in a synthesis of the Arckaringa...

A short programme of seismic exploration was undertaken in the southwest Arckaringa Basin in mid 1974. Shooting was confined mostly to an east-west line over the southwest end of the Tallaringa Trough. An interpretation of the geology of the trough...

Five geophysical traverses have been made across an elongate regional gravity low centred on Durkin Outstation on the Mulgathing pastoral lease, in order to try to locate and outline the shape and depth of a previously discovered palaeochannel incised...
