Hydrocarbon potential of the Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous sediments from five wells in the Eromanga Basin, South Australia.
Organic matter in Jurassic and lower Cretaceous sediments from 5 wells in the central Eromanga Basin was studied microscopically. The lower Jurassic Birkhead Formation, upper Jurassic to lower Cretaceous Murta Member and lower Cretaceous Transition...-

Hydrocarbon potential and environmental interpretations of the Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous section in five wells in the Eromanga Basin.
Five wells along a north-south trending section in the southern Eromanga Basin were studied using petrographic techniques to delineate petroleum source rocks and possibly aid in environmental interpretation. The dispersed organic matter (d.o.m.) in...-

Crude oil characterisation and correlation study of twenty crude oils from the Cooper-Eromanga Basin, South Australia.
Organic geochemical analyses of 20 crude oil samples from twelve wells were performed to determine if any genetic oil families could be identified within the Eromanga-Cooper Basin area. The results have been plotted graphically to demonstrate the...-

Notes on the source affinity and thermal maturity of Eromanga Basin crude oils.
Gasoline range hydrocarbon analysis, carbon isotope analysis of C12+ saturates and aromatics and GC-MS analysis of C12+ naphthenes provide a consistent picture of the source affinity and thermal maturity of Cretaceous (Murta Member-type) and Jurassic...-

Source rock richness in the Eromanga and Cooper Basins. Total organic carbon (TOC) data.
A study of source-rock richness has entailed the evaluation of TOC data for the Eromanga and Cooper Basins. TOC analyses were averaged and plotted on 1:250 000 basemaps, on a formation by formation basis. The data were contoured by honouring all data...-
