A detailed petrographic study of Permian sandstone drill cuttings and core samples selected from 32 drillholes variously located within the Officer, Arckaringa and Pedirka Basins was undertaken, with the intent of trying to classify the sandstones as...

Investigation of a reported occurrence of magnesium and sodium sulphates in a black shale at the base of the Cretaceous Bulldog Shale, found previously about 50 km north-east of Coober Pedy near the western margin of the Eromanga Basin, was initially...

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...

Due to its thin sequence and shallow depth of burial, most of the Arckaringa Basin is predicted to be immature for hydrocarbon generation in traditional terms. Source rock and vitrinite studies in the Boorthanna Trough however indicate that the basal...

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 organic geochemical analyses performed on two oil-stained siltstone and sandstone drill cuttings samples obtained from 101.4 and 107.9 metres depth in bore NB/SR 12, and on two core samples cut from 161.3 and 196.8 metres depth...

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...

Six rock samples (2 core, 4 cuttings) from Mesozoic acquifers within old water boreholes in the Mulka and Arckaringa Block areas were analysed geochemically for traces of residual oil, using solvent extraction, liquid and gas chromatography and Rock...

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.

In a search for possible buried stratiform base metal deposits of Mount Gunson type in an area surrounding Mount Eba Homestead, Carpentaria undertook a field reconnaissance of surface geological structures, followed by a study of aerial photographs...

The base metal and uranium potential of a concealed Proterozoic basement high near Bulgunnia Homestead was evaluated using geological and hydrogeochemical reconnaissance and regional geophysical interpretation approaches. Seismic, ground magnetic and...

TARGET: Possible diamondiferous kimberlites subcropping under Cainozoic cover in an area located 110 km north-east of Glendambo. EXPLORATION: Acquisition and interpretation of 6759 line km of airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, regolith heavy...
