In South Australia, the intracratonic eastern Officer Basin, which may contain up to 10 km of Neoproterozoic to Paleozoic sediments, is bounded by the Precambrian Gawler Craton to the southeast, the Musgrave Block to the north, and passes into...

TARGET: Sub-bituminous coal seams within the Early Permian Mount Toondina Formation in the Mount Dutton - Nilpinna Springs region, these possibly being similar to, or forming an extension of, the large Weedina coal deposit recently discovered 20 km to...

TARGET: Coal in the Arckaringa Basin. EXPLORATION: Rotary drilling (248 holes totalling 56,498 m, including 59 partly cored holes totalling 3555 m. RESULTS: The Wintinna, East Wintinna, Westfield and Murloocoppie coal deposits were discovered and...

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...

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.

Exploration from 1982 includes: Christmas Creek - ARC Seismic Survey (see Envs 4808 and 5064),. Hogarth - ARC Seismic Survey, . Morphett - ARC Seismic Survey,. drilling of 2 wells (Birribiana 1 and Hans Knob 1), (see Envs 7034/6 and 7043/6)....

Nineteen drill cuttings and 15 drill core samples of Permian, Cretaceous and Jurassic ages were assessed for organic maturation and source rock potential.

The structural relationships of the sediments of the Boorthanna Trough are discussed. This feature has an areal extent of approximately 6480 square miles, with dimensions of 32 miles by 180 miles north to south. The structural limits of the trough...

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent, thickness and facies of the Permian Arckaringa Basin where it overlies the Officer basin in central northern South Australia. Marine sediments provide important data for sea level curves, and...

Contains the results of an organic petrology contractor's vitrinite reflectance and maceral analysis of 2 Permian sidewall core samples, plus the results of the tenement operator's separate analyses of 14 and 21 Late Carboniferous to Early Permian...

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.
