The Purni, Peera Peera and Poolowanna Formations were evaluated in terms of depositional and structural basin analysis using the model of Genetic Increments of strata (GIS). Eight reservoir intervals have been identified and the pertinent reservoir...

Initial study of the regional geology concluded that the structural deformation (large anticlinal synclinal) observed at the surface could be associated with the deformation of the Palaeozoic underneath the Mesozoic cover. 1:250000 structure contour...

The area is 1 of prolonged, active and deep sedimentation, and has probably been dominantly marine. Dark coloured shales, marls and limestones offer promising source rock conditions, and there are adequate reservoir sands and older dolomitised...

During licence Year 11, on renewed EL 3111 (to 27/7/2004), Perilya's exploration was focussed on expanding the mineralised intersections found near Reliance in the previous year, and on investigating the open-at-depth mineralised palaeo-karstic...

Structural interpretation of the pre-Adelaidean basement from aeromagnetic and gravity data defines uplifted basement blocks and basement fractures which were active as normal faults during deposition of Adelaidean sediments, controlling the...

Ongoing appraisal work conducted by CSR at the company's newly discovered Cattlegrid copper deposit that lies at the top of the Pandurra Formation has included infill rotary percussion and diamond drilling (13 holes for 554 m, including 166 m cored),...

AIM: The 1986 Ingomar Seismic Survey was programmed to continue the regional investigation of basement depth in PEL 24, and to delineate any possible structural and stratigraphic hydrocarbon traps within troughs of the central-eastern Arckaringa...

Summary is given of available data and appraisal of leads. The primary interest was in the basal portion of the Jurassic-Cretaceous Eromanga Basin. Secondary interest was in the Permian Pedirka Basin sequence.

Report deals with an intermediary consultant's study of the socio-religious implications of locating three proposed PEL 24 1986 seismic lines within a 5500 square km area of the freehold Maralinga Tjarutja Lands, adjacent to the Wilkinson Lakes. To...

A review of the depositional setting, reservoir, seal and trapping potential of the Poolowanna Formation in the Eromanga Basin has been undertaken covering PELs 5 and 6. Extensive interpretation of wireline logs and available palynological data...

The Stansbury Basin is a relatively unexplored Cambrian sedimentary basin in South Australia. Good quality seismic data has defined a large untested prospect, the Investigator prospect, which has the potential to contain 200 to 300 mmbbl of oil, or...

In a search for possible economic sedimentary uranium deposits, a resistivity survey and a 19 hole, 2818 m reconnaissance open hole rotary drilling and downhole geophysical logging programme were carried out in parts of the Tertiary Curnamona...

The geological settings of Birkhead Formation oil fields in the study area are characterised by access to Permian-sourced hydrocarbons. This study has shown that in over 60% of the fields the main Nappamerri Group seal is absent; for those fields...

The Ouldburra Formation (Early Cambrian) is a newly defined sequence of carbonates, mixed carbonate/siliciclastics and evaporites in the northeastern Officer Basin, northern South Australia. Deposition took place during the late stages of...

This report forms part of a continuing study of the Permian in the Cooper Basin by the PELs 5 and 6 licensees. All cuttings and cores from wells drilled in the Moomba and Big Lake field areas, and from Burley 1 in the Nappamerri Low depocentre, have...

This study has concentrated on mapping Unit-defined reservoir distribution trends within the Patchawarra Formation and Tirrawarra Sandstone in the central Patchawarra Trough. Recognition of these trends will impact on the exploration potential of the...

This report critically reassesses the biomarker geochemistry of the crude oil show encountered in the Wilkatana 1 well, using new analytical data, then compares its molecular composition with that of other Australian Cambrian oils, and discusses the...

Santos Ltd requested the services of the author to undertake detailed petrological descriptions and a sedimentological interpretation of Late Carboniferous to Early Permian sediments of the lower Gidgealpa Group in the Big Lake Field. The study was...

17 samples of Early Cambrian Mount McDonnell Formation shallow marine mudstone outcropping on the northern coastline of Kangaroo Island near Hummocky Point were analysed geochemically to determine their source rock richness and thermal maturity, and...
