TARGET: Possible diamonds in the Barton region. EXPLORATION: Acquisition of an aerial magnetic-radiometric-VLF EM survey (line spacing: 300 m; altitude: 70 m) led to field investigations of 142 potential kimberlite targets generated from this survey...

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

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...

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...

Report collates in tabular format the available MESA open file, published literature-based and other University of Adelaide organic geochemical data on the hydrocarbon prospectivity of sediments underlying the Simpson Desert region. Likely oil...

The Mayhew Prospect herein described is by far the largest and highest of two potentially hydrocarbon-bearing structures mapped from pre-1987 Delhi-Santos seismic work in the PEL 48 region, with an area of closure of 250 square km and a vertical...

PEL 48 was granted over part of the relinquished former Dalhousie farmout Block of PELs 5 and 6, to parties willing to undertake early drilling of large structures mapped by the previous licensees. The licence was cancelled in 1994 after the PEL 48...

16 rock samples from wells and outcrop in the western Eromanga Basin / Eringa Trough region were analysed for their apatite grain fission track properties to derive an interpretation of the geothermal history of the enclosing strata.

17 rock samples from 5 wells in the western Eromanga Basin / Eringa Trough region were analysed for their apatite grain fission track properties to derive an interpretation of the geothermal history of the enclosing strata.

6 drill core samples and 68 drill cuttings samples from selected organic-rich intervals in 4 Eringa Trough wells were subjected to organic geochemical and petrographic analyses to enable assessment of their hydrocarbon generative potential. Following...

The operator completed the Year One geophysical and geological data review, but the seismic reprocessing project and a subsequent Year Two commitment to acquire new seismic, later varied to be the conduct of a soil geochemical survey, were not carried...

Wertaloona Seismic Survey - AIM:The 1981 Wertaloona Seismic Survey programme was designed by the PELs 5 and 6 Arrowie Block partners to provide the first high quality, multifold seismic reflection data in the area of likely preserved thick Cambrian...

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...

13 sedimentary rock samples from Proterozoic through to Mesozoic formations intersected in 5 Officer Basin wells yielded apatite fission track analysis data (track length and density) used to interpret, via statistical modelling, the broad geothermal...

Mature potential source rocks occur in the Juraasic Poolowanna Formation and the Triassic Peera Peera Formation. The lower Poolowanna interval has a greater source potential than does the upper Poolowanna. Marginally mature potential source rocks...

A collection of 5 stratigraphic cross-sections through the Pedirka region of South Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland, at a vertical scale of 1:200. GR and sonic well log correlations are related to geological time intervals, utilizing...

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...
