Newman Energy Research Ltd conducted VIRF analysis on 10 cuttings samples from Echidna-1. VIRF (Vitrinite-Inertinite Reflectance and Fluorescence, or VRF®) utilises paired fluorescence and reflectance measurements as a numerical basis for...

EPP 7 work conditions for 1975 (permit Year 7) required evaluation and review studies to be carried out with the aim of defining at least three areas which may have prospects geologically and geophysically as sites for wells. This report sets out the...

EPP 7 was granted to Shell on 9/1/69 for an initial term of 5 years, for an area extending over 371 graticular blocks covering 23,673 square km, adjacent to southern Eyre Peninsula and the west coast of Kangaroo Island. Combined with EPPs 5, 6, 10...

Technical data relating to the Echidna 1 well proposal, in the form of a drilling programme with details of proposed well engineering designs.

Includes source rock and mineralogical studies of sediment maturation and clay composition based on analysis of sidewall core samples.

Ship-borne site investigations of four proposed offshore drilling locations at approximately 90 miles south-west of Port Lincoln, in water depths of about 500 feet, included a sparker seismic survey, an echo sounder survey, drop sampling and seabed...

Based on the latest (R 6 survey) seismic interpretation, after intergration with previous seismic survey results and newly obtained well information, Shell's Duntroon Basin permit areas can now be subdivided into 4 structural zones: (i) a monoclinal...

AIM: This 24-fold reconnaisance survey of Shell's deepwater (i.e. greater than 1000 metres water depth) Great Australian Bight exploration acreage was designed to gather good quality seismic reflection data to allow more accurate mapping of structural...

AIM: The primary aim of the 1973 Shell R 7 Marine Seismic Survey programme was to acquire further detailed coverage over several previously disclosed anticlinal leads within Duntroon Basin EPPs 6 and 7, to attempt to define suitable prospective...

A comparative review of the biostratigraphy was undertaken after the drilling of Potoroo 1 and integrated with modelling of sedimentary facies. A marine ingression appears to have taken place across at least part of the Bight Basin during Aptian and...

AIM:To define a pre-Tertiary unconformity recognised in the southeastern, shallow water (Duntroon) area of Shell's offshore acreage using semi-detailed, long offset profiling of the continental shelf, and to extend seismic control northwestwards into...

AIM: Shell's R 5 Marine Geophysical (seismic plus magnetic) Survey, the most extensive yet conducted in the SA offshore, was spread over its entire concession area. The object of the seismic work was to define and confirm prospects for drilling in...

R 6 survey details (first part of survey - Oct.'71 to Jan.'72): AIM: To confirm and detail structural trends and leads in EPPs SA-6, 7 and 10, as part of Shell's shallow water offshore programme, with the intent of providing future drilling locations....

The gravity pattern in the Investigator Strait area is dominated by 3 regional anomalies, namely the Investigator Strait Gravity Maximum, St Vincent Gravity Minimum and the Spencer Gulf Minimum Trend. The Investigator Strait Underwater Gravity Survey...

The stratigraphic, tectonic setting and evolution of mainly Cambrian sediments are considered in relation to hydrocarbon generation and entrapment. Index maps were prepared of geological, aeromagnetic, gravity and seismic data and interpreted to...

Comprises details of the operations, field acquisition, results and interpretation of the seismic survey. A total of 807 miles of reflection line was shot (209 miles using explosives, 598 miles using air guns). Results of previous surveys (1966, 1968)...
