Cretaceous sediments in the Eucla Basin portion lying within South Australia's far west were investigated for their oil shale potential. This search was prompted by a recorded occurrence of a thick, oily Cretaceous shale horizon intersected in a...

A complete re-evaluation of all known prospects and leads within EPP 21 was undertaken by the permittees in order to define any prospects worthy of drilling in permit Year 4, ending 28 June 1986, by which time a commitment to drill one well and...

PEL 4 was granted to Outback Oil Co. NL on 14/11/68 to succeed the onshore part of the former OEL 33 in the Eucla Basin region, and allow continuity of exploration in a little known petroleum province. Early in licence Year One Outback Oil succeeded...

Eight samples of unwashed cuttings from 1500-3510 metres (Aptian to late Eocene) were measured to determine thermal history. A major jump in the apatite grain age profile between the Tertiary and Cretaceous is attributed to a major shift in sediment...

TARGET: Possible diamonds in the Barton region. EXPLORATION: Acquisition of an aerial magnetic-radiometric-VLF EM survey (line spacing: 300 m; altitude: 70 m) led to field investigations of 142 potential kimberlite targets generated from this survey...

Contains summary pictorial montages of the operator's post-mortem assessment of the value of drilling each Duntroon Basin wildcat completed to date.

Compilation and re-interpretation of open file data from the Eucla Basin - southern Officer Basin region preceded exploratory and stratigraphic percussion drilling undertaken in an area north of the Trans Australian Railway (6 holes, total 1032 m)....

AIM: The DH91 seismic survey programme was designed to provide new 2D coverage of potential prospects and leads in an offshore area with very little modern seismic data, especially in the southeastern part of the permit. Complementary 1983 and 1984...

Report gives an analysis of the Schlumberger FMS (Formation Micro Scanner) well log data obtained from Borda 1, as part of a study of dipmeter logs derived from each of the three BHP Petroleum wells in the basin. The aim is to determine regional...

Contains the well logging contractor's FMS (Formation Micro Scanner) dipmeter log interpretation report and summary plots.

TARGET: (Stockdale) Diamonds in the Elliston region, related to possible kimberlite primary sources that may be associated with the deep-seated Polda Trough structural feature; (BHP) Mineral sands in Tertiary sediments. EXPLORATION: Stockdale...

TARGET: Possible sedimentary uranium occurrences where radiometric anomalies are associated with playa lakes in the lower reaches of the Garford Palaeochannel. EXPLORATION: Ground magnetic and radiometric surveys over 4 lakes, ground reconnaissance...

TARGET: Sedimentary uranium in Tertiary paleochannels draining the western margin of the Gawler Craton, and in sediments of the Wilkinson Trough. Base metals in Proterozoic basement rocks. EXPLORATION: Rotary drilling (48 holes totalling 3213 m),...

A total of 48 holes (3213 metres) included 21 holes to define the structure and position of the Karari Fault zone, 19 holes across Tertiary palaeochannel systems, 1 hole on the side of a palaeodrainage channel to test for water for Commonwealth Hill...

Stockdale's exploration for diamonds in the Barton region, at the start of the licence period, commenced with the evaluation of 136 potential kimberlite targets generated by the detailed in-house interpretation of data acquired from an extensive new...

In order to appraise a potentially economic discovery of very pure, high reflectivity kaolin clay located near Kapinnie on southern Eyre Peninsula, a drilling programme is planned by Endeavour Oil which aims to outline around 33 million tons of kaolin...
