6 drill core samples and 68 drill cuttings samples from selected organic-rich intervals in 4 Eringa Trough wells were subjected to organic geochemical and petrographic analyses to enable assessment of their hydrocarbon generative potential. Following...

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 Heatherdale Shale and the stratigraphically younger Karinya Shale are transgressive units within the Lower Cambrian of the Karinya Syncline. Black muds of the Heatherdale Shale were deposited in an outer ramp setting of the Stansbury Basin under...

Contains the results of organic geochemical analyses performed on two oil-stained siltstone and sandstone drill cuttings samples obtained from 101.4 and 107.9 metres depth in bore NB/SR 12, and on two core samples cut from 161.3 and 196.8 metres depth...

Isotopic and chemical evidence reported herein suggests that the bulk of the carbon dioxide in natural gas from the Cooper Basin appears to be sourced from the underlying granite, rather than from the thermal decomposition of humic (coally)...

PEL 12 covering an area of approximately 24,320 square km in the northern Officer Basin region (as a continuation of former OEL 28 and PELs 10/11 held by the same licensees) was granted to Exoil NL and Transoil NL for five years, with renewal rights,...

3 drill core samples from the Early Permian in Purni 1 and Witcherrie 1 were analysed for TOC, Rock Eval pyrolysis, petrographic and vitrinite reflectance data to allow a check and comparison with anomalous aromatic hydrocarbon biomarker ratios...

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...

This study has shown that significant dolomite formation has occurred during early diagenetic stages in the Early Cambrian carbonate sequence of Yorke Peninsula. Relict depositional textures indicate that the sequence consists of tidal flat...

This report critically reassesses the biomarker geochemistry of the crude oil show encountered in the Wilkatana 1 well, using new analytical data, then compares its molecular composition with that of other Australian Cambrian oils, and discusses the...

A detailed study of the stratigraphy, sedimentology and thermal history of the Heatherdale Shale, the youngest unit of the Early-Mid Cambrian Normanville Group (Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia), was undertaken to elucidate its petroleum source...

Preliminary analysis of 6 core samples from 1237-1266 metres depth in Giles 1 has revealed poor to fair organic richness, low concentrations of extractable organic matter and low hydrocarbon yields. Rock-Eval pyrolysis has confirmed the presence of...

This thesis reports on a study of three hydrocarbon reservoir units (the Mooga, Hutton and Toolachee Formations) in the Strzelecki region to elucidate their diagenetic history, as part of a basin-wide investigation funded by NERDDC, aimed at providing...

27 oil samples obtained on drillstem testing of various Mesozoic and Permian formations in wells spread across the Delhi-Santos petroleum exploration licence areas were subjected to organic geochemical analysis to determine their geochemical...

Two production flow oil samples, one from the Jurassic Hutton Sandstone oil reservoir interval 5140-5160 feet in Kerinna 1, and the other from the Cretaceous Murta Member oil reservoir interval 3936-3976 feet in Limestone Creek 1, were analysed...

20,300 line km of 400 m flight traverse spaced regional aeromagnetic data (with an 80 m mean terrain clearance) was processed, analysed and interpreted by specialist geophysical consultants using new, automated computing methods, to detect regional...
