The South Australian part of the Cooper Basin had been under licence continuously since 1954, however on 27 February 1999 Petroleum Exploration Licences (PELs) 5&6 expired. The former PEL 5&6 area is being released in four bidding rounds over...

The Onkaparinga River, the largest watercourse draining the Mount Lofty Ranges from the east, south-east and south of Adelaide, already provides water for two reservoirs supplying the Metropolitan Area of Adelaide. These are Happy Valley Reservoir...

2 seismic refraction surveys were carried out by the SA Department of Mines 27 miles north of Port Augusta for Santos, following the finding of traces of crude oil in Wilkatana 1, to investigate whether the possibility exists of a basement high over...

The purpose of this refraction seismic and resistivity survey was to determine the nature of the bedrock in the area of the proposed freeway near Crafers. The results indicate that the sandstone bedrock is strongly weathered to depths of at least...

Light No. 1 was drilled on shot point E126 subsequent to the Middle Beach Seismograph Survey. The purpose of the well was primarily to determine the depth to basement, to assist the correlation of seismograph records, and to further stratigraphic...

Three potential damsites on the lower Murray River near Mannum were investigated by drilling and geological mapping. Two holes at Site 4 and one at Site 5 showed Tertiary sediments overlying granite bedrock at depth exceeding 24m. Exploration was...

A seismic refraction reconnaissance carried out on Lake Torrens 3.5 miles from the eastern edge and 21.5 miles West South West of Parachilna indicated the basement to be at a depth of approximately 997 feet and dipping almost 30W.

Two seismic refraction tests were carried out near Williamstown to determine whether the method could be used to trace buried river channels in the search for deep lead gold deposits. The bedrock surface could not be detected as the velocity of the...

The effects of earthquakes on buildings and structures are described with reference to the 1954 Adelaide earthquake, and some severe earthquakes in California in 1952. The resistance to earthquake shock of various building materials and structures and...

Following indications from previous work, a programme of reconnaissance seismic refraction and gravity exploration was carried out in the northern portion of the Murray Basin in South Australia in 1963. It has been shown that Permian sedimentation is...
