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...

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...

The Purni, Peera Peera and Poolowanna Formations were evaluated in terms of depositional and structural basin analysis using the model of Genetic Increments of strata (GIS). Eight reservoir intervals have been identified and the pertinent reservoir...

Potential mature source rocks occur in the Poolowanna Formation, the Peera Peera Formation and the upper part of the Walkandi Formation. In addition, marginally mature potential source rocks with fair to moderate TOC may be present in the lower half...

AIM:To define a variety of structures indicated by earlier regional seismic work (the 1976 Pillan Hill and 1979 Peera Peera Seismic Surveys), and establish three possible drilling locations.METHODS: Survey dates: 25/6/80 - 8/11/81. Energy source:...

An assessment of the petroleum potential of the Pedirka farmout area, occasioned by the February 1989 compulsory 25% acreage relinquishment of PELs 5 and 6. Items reviewed include Block geology, farmout arrangements, future commitments, an inventory...

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...

Sixty five samples from 4 wells were examined for organic matter type and abundance, and maturation levels. The Late Permian Purni and Early Jurassic Poolowanna Formations contain the best source rocks in the Poolowanna Trough. These sequences are...

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.

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

AIM:To extend the regional seismic grid to areas not previously covered by the Lake Thomas, Beal Hill and Pillan Hill surveys, to find leads for subsequent seismic detailing, and to investigate the regional structural configuration to allow further...

Samples of ?Ordovician to Cretaceous sediments taken from 5 Pedirka Basin petroleum exploration wells, and of crude oils recovered from the Jurassic Poolowanna and Triassic Peera Peera Formations intersected in Poolowanna 1, were examined. The...

Summary is given of available data and appraisal of leads. The primary interest was in the basal portion of the Jurassic-Cretaceous Eromanga Basin. Secondary interest was in the Permian Pedirka Basin sequence.

As part of preparations to drill the Koonakoo Prospect in the eastern Simpson Desert, 60 km north-west of Goyder Lagoon, PEL 49 joint venturer Hunt Energy and Mineral Company conducted a prior electrotelluric survey of that prospect and others within...
