Novel approaches to the determination of the origins of petroleum hydrocarbons in the Cooper-Eromanga Basin system.
In June 1996 MESA commissioned the Centre for Petroleum and Environmental Organic Geochemistry at Curtin University with $30 000 to investigate the applications to the Cooper-Eromanga Basin system of new molecular geochemical concepts recently...-

Organic petrology of samples from a selected group of wells in or near the Arckaringa Block.
Nineteen drill cuttings and 15 drill core samples of Permian, Cretaceous and Jurassic ages were assessed for organic maturation and source rock potential.-

Petroleum geochemistry and source-rock potential of the Arrowie, Pedirka, Cooper and Eromanga Basins, central Australia.
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...-

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...-

Progressive report on the PhD research project entitled: Source rock and petroleum geochemistry of the Poolowanna Formation (basal Jurassic), Eromanga Basin.
This report describes the work performed during the first year of a 3-year PhD research project, which commenced on 24/2/93. To start with the author carried out a literature review of previous work on petroleum geochemistry in the Cooper and Eromanga...-

Source rock and petroleum geochemistry of the Simpson [Desert] Basin and superjacent western Eromanga Basin (Pandieburra 1, Poonarunna 1, Putamurdie 1).
This is the final in a series of reports prepared for MESA, in which the hydrocarbon source potential of the Pedirka, Simpson and western Eromanga Basins is re-evaluated. Previous work focused on the Eringa Trough of the Pedirka Basin and the...-

Oil correlation study, Patchawarra Trough, Eromanga/Cooper Basin.
Six crude oil samples, 3 Jurassic and 3 Permian, taken from exploration wells located in the Patchawarra Trough, were subjected to detailed organic geochemical analysis of their naphthenes and aromatic hydrocarbons by gas chromatography - mass...-

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...-

Source potential of the Eromanga Basin sequence, Patchawarra Trough area (Oil Project 88-11).
A number of oil recoveries have been made, and oil shows recorded, around the margins of the Patchawarra Trough. The bulk of this oil is generally believed to be derived from the Cooper Basin, with transmission to the Eromanga section where the...-

Crude oil - Parent source rock evaluation study, Murta Block, Cooper-Eromanga Basin(s), South Australia.
The following organic geochemical analyses were performed on 7 sidewall core and 4 crude oil samples from Wancoocha 2, 1 crude oil sample from Wancoocha 3 and 1 crude oil sample from Pando 1: 1) C1-C31 whole oil gas-liquid chromatography; 2) C4-C7...-
