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 Pedirka Basin, Simpson Desert Basin and superjacent Eromanga Basin.
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...-

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...-

Analysis of bitumen from three water bores in the Eromanga Basin.
Composite drill cuttings from 3 Eromanga Basin water bores were sampled by Delhi over shallow intervals within which residual hydrocarbon shows had been reported by earlier visual logging, and were submitted to Amdel for geochemical confirmation of...-

Progress reports on activities in the the Oodnadatta and Wilkatana areas for the period May 1956 to June 1957.
Reports include a description of a non-commercial oil show observed during exploratory percussion drilling in a Cretaceous fossiliferous sandy shale at 190 feet depth in Santos' Oodnadatta 1 wildcat well. Trace amounts of oil and wax of unknown...-
