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...

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...

The Arckaringa Basin, situated, in northern South Australia, is an intracratonic Permian basin, composed of deep marginal grabens or half grabens and a central area of shallow basement, the latter covered by only a thin sediment blanket. The...

Biostratigraphy of drill core and cuttings was erected for Mt Willoughby, and some biostratigraphy of the Lambina 1 was revised. Problems with contamination were encountered.

The SA 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 synthesis of the Arckaringa...

Stratigraphic well Muddy Tank 1 was drilled to sample fossiliferous late Jurassic clays. Consequently seen palynological evidence has firmly dated the Algebuckina Sandstone as very late Jurassic (ca. 144 to 141 Ma).

The Coober Pedy 1:250 000 sheet area (COOBER PEDY) is bounded by latitudes 29°S and 30°S and by longitudes 133°E and 135°E in the arid north of South Australia. The only town is the opal mining town of Coober Pedy on the northeastern margin of the...

This study has formulated a geotechnical and hydrogeological model of the Wintinna Coalfield which satisfies the following objectives: - to provide answers to the hydrogeological and geotechnical questions raised by Fluor in their mining study; - to...

3-D computer modelling of available drillhole data for coal seams present within the licence was undertaken as preparation for a possible mining feasibility study, and to identify targets for possible future drilling. The known full coal-bearing...

Within the now relinquished portions of the subject licences, as part of a regional search across several tenements in the Billa Kalina district for possible kimberlites or diamonds, Flinders Mines carried out scout exploratory drilling in two...

3-D computer modelling of available drillhole data for coal seams present within the licence was undertaken as preparation for a possible mining feasibility study, and to identify targets for possible future drilling. The known full coal-bearing...

On 27/3/1995, following a competitive bidding process, South Australian Coal Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Meekatharra Minerals Limited, was granted EL 2069 covering the Phillipson Coalfield located ~60 km south-west of Coober Pedy. The...

An area located approximately 35 km west and south-west of Anna Creek Homestead, straddling the Coober Pedy - William Creek Road, was taken up to explore for possible buried diamondiferous kimberlite intrusions that could be the source(s) of the...
