The Murray Basin is a shallow, saucer-shaped Tertiary basin covering an area of 120 700 square miles extending from the western foot of the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales and Victoria to the Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia. Geophysical work...

Beach Petroleum NL Monash 1 exploratory well located 5 miles north-west of Monash, and 20 miles south-west of Renmark, was drilled to a total depth of 3445 feet. The well penetrated a sequence of Tertiary, Cretaceous and Permian sedimentary rocks,...

Australian Oil and Gas Company Wentworth No.1 was drilled 25 miles north of Wentworth, N.S.W, to a depth of 2081 feet. The well penetrated a sequence of mainly marine Tertiary rocks to a depth of 1273 feet; it then intersected 331 feet of marine Lower...

North Renmark 1 was drilled 6 miles north of Renmark, to a total depth of 4018 feet. The well penetrated a sequence of Tertiary, Cretaceous and Permian rocks, mostly of marine origin, and has given the most complete section so far known from the...

Strandlines or elevated shorelines, located across the Murray Basin in south-eastern Australia, trace the preserved remnants of former emergent coastlines that developed during the Late Miocene (c. 7 to 4 Ma) marine regression. Strandline traces...

This report covers an intensive survey of the groundwater resources of the southeastern portion of the State and is an important contribution to the study of the hydrology of Australian groundwaters. The State possesses a major economic asset, in a...

This report completes a trilogy which surveys the regional groundwater situation along the River Murray, upstream of Blanchetown as far as the N.S.W, Victorian border. The area covered in the present report lies upstream of Kingston on Murray. The...

This report deals with the stratigraphy and sedimentary history of the Chowilla area in the Murray Basin. Local geology is set against a background of geological information derived from other areas in southern Australia. Local stratigraphy is based...

Further drilling and aquifer testing between the proposed Noora evaporation basin and the River Murray yielded an average value of about 100 m3/day/m for transmissivity of the Loxton Sand aquifer. It is therefore expected that initial effects of such...

A palynological analysis made of 25 cutting samples from three TEISA program stratigraphic drillholes (PIVA 1, PIVA 5 and PIVA 10) revealed distinctive microfloristic assemblages. Dinoflagellate cysts offer a reliable method for distinguishing the...

The Murray Basin is an intracratonic basin filled with Cainozoic fluvial to shallow marine sediments. Deposition in the Eocene and early Oligocene was characterised by floodplain and swamp deposits, emplaced with occasional interbeds of shelly clays...

Stratigraphic drilling has been undertaken by PIRSA in the South Australian portion of the northern Murray Basin to investigate the stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Cainozoic sedimentary sequences, as well as the heavy mineral sand potential of...

A five-layer finite difference groundwater flow model (MODFLOW) was developed for the Mallee Region to determine the impacts of irrigation on water levels and salinities. The model was calibrated for steady-state conditions over the entire modelled...

Monash 1 is located 30 km west of Renmark, and was drilled to a total depth of 1050 m. It penetrated a sequence of Tertiary, Cretaceous and Permian rocks, mostly of marine origin. Cuttings recovered from the hole interval below 1012 m depth extending...

The possibility that economic coal seams may occur in suspected buried Lower Permian sediments occupying the north-western corner of the Canegrass Lobe, where no deep stratigraphic drilling has hitherto been done, was investigated by Minad using...
