Oil shales of extremely high quality have been intersected in Weedina 1 and Boorthanna 1. The main target horizon appears to approximate the top of the Stuart Range Formation but the stratigraphic position, thickness and extent of the oil shales are...

Burial history analysis of the structurally complex eastern Officer Basin region was performed using data from petroleum, trona exploration and stratigraphic wells, seismic upholes, coal drillholes and selected seismic sections, to construct isopachs...

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...

A description of the overall structure and stratigraphy of the Basin and identification of areas for potential coal development, based on all open file information.

TARGET: Permian coal in the Mount Toondina Formation. EXPLORATION: Sirotem and Mini-Sosie reflection seismic surveys, plus regional and detailed exploratory rotary mud drilling of 56 holes totalling 11,007 m, with 6 partly cored holes (511 m cored)....

TARGET: Coal in the Oodnadatta - Mount Barry - Allandale area of the Arckaringa Basin. EXPLORATION: The drilling of 11 holes totalling 2989 m, the re-appraisal of existing seismic data, and acquisition of a high resolution reflection seismic survey...

Possible Jurassic, Algebuckina Formation - hosted sedimentary uranium, and economic Permian coal within the Mount Toondina Formation, were both targeted by exploration within an area located approximately 100 km south-east of Oodnadatta. A 104 line...

145 core samples (representing organic-rich Upper Proterozoic and Cambrian intervals in 11 wells) taken from the SADME and BMR Core Libraries were examined for palynomaceral identification and to judge levels of organic (source rock) maturity, using...

Following the first public announcement on 18/11/1976 by Western Mining Corp. of its giant Olympic Dam copper, gold and uranium discovery on Roxby Downs Station, Newmont Pty Ltd began a detailed assessment of the Stuart Shelf region of South...

Includes Part 2 - Upper Palaeozoic and Lower Cretaceous micropalaeontology.

The South Australian Department of Mines drilled seven stratigraphic wells between 1969 and 1971 in the Arckaringa Basin. This study presents the stratigraphic information obtained and attempts to collate all available information in a syntheses of...

A summary of Block petroleum prospectivity prepared prior to starting selective low-key exploration during the 1985-1989 licence period. The report gives the rationale for the proposed work programme of 4 wells and 1900 line km of seismic acquisition...

Concealed basement on GILES comprises ?Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic rocks belonging to the Nawa Subdomain of the Gawler Craton. These are intruded by Mesoproterozoic Hiltaba Suite granitic bodies and Mesoproterozoic or Neoproterozoic...

A new generation, first edition WINTINNA 1:250 000 scale geological map and explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's geological mapping program undertaken in the...

Results of seismic reflection and refraction profiling are integrated with previous work and 4 shallow stratigraphic wells drilled on seismic targets. Region was divided into 3 sectors for interpretation. North of Coober Pedy but south of Wintinna HS...

No foraminifera or other fossils were found in the lowest part of the Mount Toondina Beds, as identified on lithological and geophysical criteria. Immediately below the contact (990 feet) with Unit 1 (i.e. partly equivalent to and presumably...

Four stratigraphic wells were drilled, totalling 5023 feet were drilled, Karkaro No. 1, Mount Furner No. 1, Wallira No 1 and Wallira No. 2 to verify Permian sediments and identify basement reflector. Results indicate shallow platform covered by thin...

Cootanoorina 1 was drilled about 33 miles south-southwest of Oodnadatta township by the South Australian Department of Mines, as a combined 'on structure' and stratigraphic test in the Arckaringa Sub-Basin region of the Great Artesian Basin. The main...

Mount Willoughby 1 was drilled in the northern part of the Arckaringa Basin as a continuation of the SA Department of Mines stratigraphic study of this area. The well was drilled on the western plateau of a positive gravity high on the Wintinna 1 mile...
