TARGET: Shallowly buried Mesozoic coal of a rank at least equal to that of Leigh Creek coal. EXPLORATION: A gravity survey and 2 scout rotary drillholes (total 167.5 m). RESULTS: No coal was intersected.

Exploration for possible buried sedimentary uranium deposits in Tertiary sediments underlying an area located approximately 100 km east-southeast of Streaky Bay has consisted of the drilling and wireline logging of 114 reconnaissance rotary mud holes...

Drilling of 70 holes (4441 metres) located substantial Tertiary drainage system in excess of 8 km wide in search for sedimentary uranium. Further drilling recommended.

Organic matter in Jurassic and lower Cretaceous sediments from 5 wells in the central Eromanga Basin was studied microscopically. The lower Jurassic Birkhead Formation, upper Jurassic to lower Cretaceous Murta Member and lower Cretaceous Transition...

TARGET: Diamonds, base metals, gold and precious metals in the Cradock-Carrieton and Orroroo areas. EXPLORATION: Regional drainage heavy mineral sampling, bulk sampling and costeaning, mineralogical and sedimentological studies, localised...

This compilation of available geological and geophysical data pertaining to PEL 27, and open file plus traded data from adjoining tenements, assembled in June 1992, was instigated by the PEL 27 joint venture to provide a comprehensive basis on which...

Five wells along a north-south trending section in the southern Eromanga Basin were studied using petrographic techniques to delineate petroleum source rocks and possibly aid in environmental interpretation. The dispersed organic matter (d.o.m.) in...

Ten samples of drill cuttings from Merrimelia 15 were examined in polished section under normally incident white light and under reflected light UV fluorescence mode. Brief descriptions of the dispersed organic matter contained in each sample, plus...

TARGET: Diamonds in 3 areas, one west of Lock, another east of Elliston, and the third surrounding Venus Bay. EXPLORATION: Heavy mineral sampling, airborne magnetic and multichannel radiometric surveys, ground magnetic surveys, and selected anomaly...

A sedimentary sequence of Permian age provides both the source and reservoirs for the major portion of the hydrocarbons discovered in the Cooper Basin. This sequence is composed of shales, siltstones, coals and sandstones, and in 1967 was named the...

BHP Petroleum (Aust.) Pty Ltd was granted the permit EPP 25 for 6 years on 13 March 1991, together with the adjoining EPP 26 also in the Duntroon Basin. During 1991 BHP reprocessed 2070 km of Getty Oil's 1983 and 1984 seismic data, and acquired a...

TARGET: Coal in the northern Saint Vincent Basin. EXPLORATION: Rotary open hole and core drilling of over 700 holes, including large diameter core and bulk sampling at the Lochiel and Bowmans trial pits. RESULTS: The Lochiel and Bowmans coal resources...

Contains black and white photographs of core 9, reports on unsuccessful attempts to analyse ?DST water samples and a core 4 palynology sample, plus a final palynology report and the results of base metal analysis by AAS for other selected samples of...

Contains drill cuttings and core descriptions, some brief results for conventional core analyses plus basic source rock quality evaluation of the Cretaceous section, and a detailed organic petrology study report. The latter study investigated 12...
