Novel approaches to the determination of the origins of petroleum hydrocarbons in the Cooper-Eromanga Basin system.
In June 1996 MESA commissioned the Centre for Petroleum and Environmental Organic Geochemistry at Curtin University with $30 000 to investigate the applications to the Cooper-Eromanga Basin system of new molecular geochemical concepts recently...-

Organic petrology: Macumba 1 and Poolowanna 1 wells through the Eromanga, Simpson Desert and Pedirka Basins.
The dispersed organic matter content of drill cuttings samples from the subject wells was examined microscopically to assess its hydrocarbon potential. In general it appears that the Cretaceous and Permian sediments are unlikely to be good source...-

Source rock and petroleum geochemistry of the Simpson [Desert] Basin and superjacent western Eromanga Basin (Pandieburra 1, Poonarunna 1, Putamurdie 1).
This is the final in a series of reports prepared for MESA, in which the hydrocarbon source potential of the Pedirka, Simpson and western Eromanga Basins is re-evaluated. Previous work focused on the Eringa Trough of the Pedirka Basin and the...-

Oil correlation study, Patchawarra Trough, Eromanga/Cooper Basin.
Six crude oil samples, 3 Jurassic and 3 Permian, taken from exploration wells located in the Patchawarra Trough, were subjected to detailed organic geochemical analysis of their naphthenes and aromatic hydrocarbons by gas chromatography - mass...-

MESA Pedirka and Eromanga Basins Thermal and Tectonic History Project. Reports for the period January 1995 to December 1996.
Apatite fission track analysis (AFTA), detailed source rock property and organic maceral vitrinite reflectance data has been collected from several key wells neighbouring the Eringa Trough, as part of a collaborative ARC grant project run by MESA and...-

Crude oil characterisation and correlation study, twenty-seven oils, South Australia-Queensland Cooper-Eromanga Basin.
27 oil samples obtained on drillstem testing of various Mesozoic and Permian formations in wells spread across the Delhi-Santos petroleum exploration licence areas were subjected to organic geochemical analysis to determine their geochemical...-

Organic petrology of samples from a selected group of wells in or near the Arckaringa Block.
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...-
