Highlights of the above 4 parts of the report include: 1) A brief review of the Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Cainozoic tectonic history. 2) The limited amount of useable seismic, aeromagnetic and gravity data hampers structural definition of the basin....

16 samples produced sparse, poorly preserved microfloras. In Argonaut-A1 palynofloras are correlated with Late Cretaceous and Eocene zones, with an unconformity between Cretaceous and Tertiary. Local unconformities may occur in the Campanian section....

A promotional brochure for vacant offshore Otway Basin petroleum exploration acreage, designed for release overseas to potential corporate bidders, prior to gazettal of the area for permit applications in November 1992. Area S92-1 covering 4736 square...

In order to examine the prospectivity of EPP 23, for which they assumed the operatorship by a 65% farm-in in August 1990, BHP Petroleum have examined well palynological and geochemical data in and around the permit and have interpreted over 600 km of...

Promotional booklet intended to give oil industry analysts an up-to-date overview of the Otway Basin, plus separately some in-depth views of the hydrocarbon prospectivity of 5 (3 in SA) current Otway Basin petroleum exploration tenements in which the...

During its permit tenure the BHP/Esso joint venture carried out 6 seismic surveys and drilled 4 exploratory wells in attempting to ascertain whether commercial hydrocarbon deposits existed within the area. Although the geological prognoses...

Comprises details of the operations, field acquisition, results and interpretation of the seismic and magnetic survey. A total of 206 miles of 12-fold CDP data was recorded and results integrated with previous surveys; there is a noticable improvement...

This study concentrates on the correlation of lithostratigraphic units, establishing a model for the likely source rock maturity pattern, and elucidating the structure, seal and reservoir relationships. The Early Cretaceous Otway Group is considered...

This consultant's report prepared for the EPP SA-2 operator comprises a review of the regional basinal geology, tectonics and stratigraphy, petroleum exploration history and recorded hydrocarbon occurrences, seismic coverage and interpretive results,...

20 coastal bitumen and drill cutting samples between Portland in western Victoria and the mouth of the Murray River in SA, (concentrating on the Cretaceous interval) from 4 wells were analysed (API gravity, pour point,sulphur content, total organic...

AIM: To detail certain prospects and leads identified from interpretation of pre-existing seismic data, in order to mature at least one play for drilling in permit Year 4. METHODS: Survey dates: 3 - 6/5/91. Energy source: Air gun. CDP coverage: 6000%....

Comprises a series of palynological review and reinterpretation reports written between March 1985 and February 1987 by consultant Roger Morgan of Maitland, SA, after he rigorously examined both pre-existing other authors, and his own new,...

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...

AIM: The 1987 Orana Seismic Survey, consisting of 14 lines with a total coverage of 55.6 line kms, was shot to further detail leads identified by the 1985 Burrungule Seismic Survey, other than the single lead (McNamara Prospect) which was confidently...

This report, prepared as part of the renewed licence Year 6 exploration work commitment, summarises Beach Petroleums understanding of the geology of PEL 28 that is relevant to hydrocarbon exploration. From this it also points the way to future...

Time sections from several hundred miles of seismic reflection surveys carried out by Geoseismic (Australia), Western Geophysical Co., Namco International, and the South Australian Mines Department, are subdivided into superimposed groups of...

The sediments of the Gambier Embayment are mainly of Cretaceous and Tertiary age. Lower Cretaceous subsurface units have been referred to outcropping rocks of the Otway and Merino Groups, but satisfactory criteria for their identification with...
