A detailed petrographic study of Permian sandstone drill cuttings and core samples selected from 32 drillholes variously located within the Officer, Arckaringa and Pedirka Basins was undertaken, with the intent of trying to classify the sandstones as...

Three adjoining large licences located in the Eringa Trough area ~120-170 km north-east of Marla, covering ground overlying the south-western end of the Pedirka Basin adjacent to the SA-NT state border, were taken up in order to evaluate the coal...

Two adjoining large licences located in the Eringa Trough area ~120-170 km north-east of Marla, covering ground overlying the south-western end of the Pedirka Basin adjacent to the SA-NT state border, were taken up in order to evaluate the coal...

4 samples of conventional drillcores from the Lower Permian section in each of Mokari 1 (depth interval 6074.5-6618.5 feet KB) and Purni 1 (depth interval 4742-5810 feet KB) were analysed for source rock geochemistry. Measurements of vitrinite...

The dispersed organic matter content of drill cuttings samples from the subject wells was examined microscopically to assess its hydrocarbon potential. In general it appears that the Cretaceous and Permian sediments are unlikely to be good source...

The Purni, Peera Peera and Poolowanna Formations were evaluated in terms of depositional and structural basin analysis using the model of Genetic Increments of strata (GIS). Eight reservoir intervals have been identified and the pertinent reservoir...

An assessment of the petroleum potential of the Pedirka farmout area, occasioned by the February 1989 compulsory 25% acreage relinquishment of PELs 5 and 6. Items reviewed include Block geology, farmout arrangements, future commitments, an inventory...

AIM:The 1982 Christmas Creek Seismic Survey was designed to cover a wide area of the sparsely explored western farmout blocks of PELs 5 and 6, where Eromanga Basin sediments thin and overly sub-basins of variously aged prospective sediments. Primary...

Sixty five samples from 4 wells were examined for organic matter type and abundance, and maturation levels. The Late Permian Purni and Early Jurassic Poolowanna Formations contain the best source rocks in the Poolowanna Trough. These sequences are...

A review of the Permo-Triassic and Mesozoic distribution of reservoir units. Data for some Birdsville Track Ridge wells are included as the development of the Pedirka Sector basins and the Birdsville Track Ridge are closely related.

Samples of ?Ordovician to Cretaceous sediments taken from 5 Pedirka Basin petroleum exploration wells, and of crude oils recovered from the Jurassic Poolowanna and Triassic Peera Peera Formations intersected in Poolowanna 1, were examined. The...

Summary is given of available data and appraisal of leads. The primary interest was in the basal portion of the Jurassic-Cretaceous Eromanga Basin. Secondary interest was in the Permian Pedirka Basin sequence.

Report collates in tabular format the available MESA open file, published literature-based and other University of Adelaide organic geochemical data on the hydrocarbon prospectivity of sediments underlying the Simpson Desert region. Likely oil...

Contains results of organic petrology contractor's vitrinite reflectance and maceral analysis of 4 Permian sidewall core samples.

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...

The 1976 Pillan Hill Seismic Survey was designed to extend high quality regional seismic coverage into areas of the Pedirka Basin where previous subsurface mapping data was sparse or non-existent. Vibroseis reflection data was obtained over the area...

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...
