Surveys recently conducted in England, Ireland and Australia have shown that there are major spatial variations in the 'light' [molecular weight] hydrocarbon gas content of rocks which are closely related to the presence of underlying mineralisation....

An investigation has been conducted into the leaching of Crocker Well ore concentrates and the recovery of uranium and thorium from the leach liquor. Approximately 90% of the uranium and 80% of the thorium can be extracted from the concentrates by hot...

Results of geochemical analyses, including source rock geothermometry, total organic carbon and Rock-Eval pyrolysis data, plus gas chromatography - mass spectroscopy molecular characterisation of aromatic and saturated hydrocarbons, for 2 selected...

Coal samples collected by the SADME Fossil Fuels Div. from the Leigh Creek Coalfield during its recent drilling programme have been examined and analysed according to preset parameters to allow comparison of average coal quality between this field and...

Three large but quite separate licence areas located at the southern end of the Frome Embayment have been explored together for possible economic buried sedimentary uranium mineralisation hosted by Tertiary palaeochannel sands of the Callabonna...

No text. Data (prepared by the author) consist of a surface wellsite plan and related cross sections that, together, show the locations in three dimensions of reported (by Santos Ltd) oil and grease traces intersected during recent exploratory...

This report is the first in a series of coastal bitumen fieldwork studies being carried out in South Australia over the duration of one year by the Organic Geochemistry Unit, Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Adelaide and the South...

The target was lignite or oil shale hosted by Tertiary sediments possibly preserved on top of a series of tilted fault blocks bordering the western shoreline of Spencer Gulf, due south-west of Whyalla. 29 vertical rotary mud drillholes (total 2729...

Includes reports on: - Aromatic maturity of Jurassic, Permian and Cambrian sediments in Gidgealpa 1, Eromanga / Cooper / Warburton Basins, SA. - Aromatic maturity of Wirrealpa Limestone, Arrowie Basin, SA. - Chemical analysis of 6 drill cuttings...

As part of a MESA-led reappraisal of the source rock potential of the Eringa Trough, Pedirka Basin, this study was commissioned to carry out an organic geochemical and petrographic investigation of coals and carbonaceous sediments from the margins of...

Investigation of the composition and origin of a wellhead sample of black oil. Its origin from terrestrial (land plant) organic matter is confirmed by aspects of its biomarker geochemistry.

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...

A relatively new technology of treating oil spills in marine and inland environments is bioremediation. This technique is based on the break down of the petroleum hydrocarbons to biomass and carbon dioxide by indigenous microorganisms, which are...
