The current original-oil-in-place estimate for the Birkhead Formation in Sturt Oil Field is 1.080 MMbbls (proved and probable). The oil is contained in two sands, the 54-2 sand (950 000 barrels) and the 54-4 sand (130 000 barrels), which are accessed...

Drill cuttings samples of the Birkhead Formation from 16 wells were selected for a petrographic study of the organic matter they contain. Comparisons were made between the organic petrographic characteristics of wells with no shows in either the...

Drilling of 39 exploration and appraisal/development wells to investigate potential oil reservoirs within the Lake Hope Block has resulted in the recovery of economic hydrocarbons from 26 of those wells, and has identified 7 reservoir units throughout...

This report examines the prospectivity of PEL 55 in considerable detail, in order to construct a dataset suitable for attracting new farminees so that outstanding drilling work on the licence may be progressed. The favourable setting of the licence...

This is the final in a series of reports prepared for MESA, in which the hydrocarbon source potential of the Pedirka, Simpson and western Eromanga Basins is re-evaluated. Previous work focused on the Eringa Trough of the Pedirka Basin and the...

The operator completed the Year One geophysical and geological data review, but the seismic reprocessing project and a subsequent Year Two commitment to acquire new seismic, later varied to be the conduct of a soil geochemical survey, were not carried...

Caprock studies were performed on 89 one-inch diameter vertical core plugs taken from full hole cores cut in 34 wells (6 in Qld) that penetrated a wide geographic spread of Mesozoic age oil reservoirs within the Delhi-Santos licence areas. The method...

The geological settings of Birkhead Formation oil fields in the study area are characterised by access to Permian-sourced hydrocarbons. This study has shown that in over 60% of the fields the main Nappamerri Group seal is absent; for those fields...

Six crude oil samples, 3 Jurassic and 3 Permian, taken from exploration wells located in the Patchawarra Trough, were subjected to detailed organic geochemical analysis of their naphthenes and aromatic hydrocarbons by gas chromatography - mass...

Contains the results of physical properties testing of 26 samples of crude oils from PELs 5 and 6 Block partners' oil reservoirs.

Apatite fission track analysis (AFTA), detailed source rock property and organic maceral vitrinite reflectance data has been collected from several key wells neighbouring the Eringa Trough, as part of a collaborative ARC grant project run by MESA and...

Includes, as requested, the contractor petrologist's written determinations of sediment depositional facing for each drill core sample thin section, based on interpretation of observed microscopic scale bedding characteristics.
