RB 82/00087 Northern Adelaide Plains gas storage study, Port Gawler area.
Tertiary palaeochannel containing North Maslins Sands is incised in Cambrian - Precambrian bedrock, capped by clays and lignite. Investigations by gravity and seismic surveys and rotary drilling, have reduced the potential of the channel as an...-

RB 78/00013 Northern Adelaide Plains gas storage study. Barabba gravity low.
The Barabba Gravity Low in the Northern Adelaide Plains has been interpreted as a southerly dipping trough-like depression in Precambrian bedrock, infilled with Tertiary and covered by a blanket of Quaternary sediments. All margins of this feature are...-

RB 78/00057 Adelaide city stratigraphic drilling 1976, hydrogeological completion report.
Two exploration wells have been drilled through the Cainozoic sequence to Precambrian bedrock to provide stratigraphic and hydrogeological data. At the South Parklands site two aquifers were tested. The upper one yielded a large supply of marginally...-

RB 79/00062 Investigation of a possible site for underground gas storage in the Northern Adelaide Plains.
Exploration for a suitable underground gas storage target in the Northern Adelaide Plains was initiated in 1964. Prior to the present investigation, four other areas have been examined and rejected as target areas, mainly due to the shallow depth of...-
