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...

Field examination of common asphaltite occurrences on Kangaroo Island beaches has concluded that they are relatively recent strandings of unknown origin and age. Their presumed sea floor mode of transport indicates a likely nearby source within the...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...

PEL 53 covering 10,136 square km of the Stansbury Basin, which embraces the southern and central parts of Gulf St Vincent and Yorke Peninsula, was granted to local companies Preview Resources Pty Ltd and Oakman Pty Ltd for 5 years from November 1989....

Diamond exploration over an area located approximately 35 km south-east of Yunta was undertaken to assess an interpreted structural environment that may be similar to one existing nearby to the west close to Terowie, in which shallowly buried,...

Organic petrology, total organic carbon (TOC), Rock-Eval pyrolysis and preliminary biological marker data are summarised to provide an assessment of the source rock potential of the Eumeralla Formation in the subject wells. The findings are as...

Organic geochemical analyses were carried out on 6 rock sample pyrolysis extracts from Chama 1A and 7 from Geltwood Beach 1 to determine whether the Crayfish and/or Eumeralla formations in these wells could be a source for the asphaltites and bitumens...

101 cuttings and 14 core samples from the depth interval 7500-10,485 feet KB were analysed both to assess the hydrocarbon source potential (maturity, richness, quality) of the Early Cretaceous Pretty Hill Sandstone, and to determine the biomarker...

This study, for which the supporting data was obtained between August 1983 and April 1984 and reported to the client Getty as Amdel report nos 5769/84 Parts 1-7, was prompted by a renewed exploration effort in the Duntroon Basin after some 9 years of...

Exploration for possible economic Olympic Dam - type epithermal/hydrothermal or Zambian Copperbelt - type stratabound/replacement base metal deposits, in an area located approximately 40 km south-east of Yunta, focussed on magnetic anomalies and...

The visit to Kangaroo Island extended over the period August 3rd to August 22nd, and that to Western Eyre's Peninsula over the period October 15th to October 20th, 1912. In both areas a rapid geological reconnaissance was made of the particular...

Contains articles on the following: Report on a collection of fossils made by Dr A. Wade from the Cainozoic series of South Australia (Appendix 2 in: Supposed oil bearing areas of SA). Author Chapman, F. Pages 59-65 Bibliography of articles and works...
