Carbonate carbon and to a lesser extent organic carbon are persistent in their pattern of vertical distribution regardless of structural position. Detailed correlations may be made across the SE of the basin. Idealised chemostratigraphic successions...

Continued investigations confirm conventionally defined rock units in the Cooper Basin generally exhibit characteristic trace element signatures. In Big Lake 10, the Nappamerri Formation may be subdivided into 3 chemostratigraphic units; the Toolachee...

This report summarises the results of the 1990 SAGASCO Resources Ltd consultancy project for Santos Ltd on the Triassic Nappamerri Group in South Australia. The Nappamerri Group has significant exploration potential in areas where faults act to...

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...

The dispersed organic matter content of drill cuttings samples from the subject wells was examined microscopically to assess its hydrocarbon potential. In general it appears that the Cretaceous and Permian sediments are unlikely to be good source...

Due to its thin sequence and shallow depth of burial, most of the Arckaringa Basin is predicted to be immature for hydrocarbon generation in traditional terms. Source rock and vitrinite studies in the Boorthanna Trough however indicate that the basal...

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...

Summary of exploration history and petroleum potential.

An assessment of the petroleum potential of the Pedirka farmout area, occasioned by the February 1989 compulsory 25% acreage relinquishment of PELs 5 and 6. Items reviewed include Block geology, farmout arrangements, future commitments, an inventory...

Sixty five samples from 4 wells were examined for organic matter type and abundance, and maturation levels. The Late Permian Purni and Early Jurassic Poolowanna Formations contain the best source rocks in the Poolowanna Trough. These sequences are...

A review of the Permo-Triassic and Mesozoic distribution of reservoir units. Data for some Birdsville Track Ridge wells are included as the development of the Pedirka Sector basins and the Birdsville Track Ridge are closely related.

This section of the study was based on source rock analyses performed on 75 outcrop and shallow drill core samples from 25 localities, plus other new data derived from Cambrian sediments intersected in the deep petroleum exploration wells Moorowie 1,...

Exploration from 1982 includes: Christmas Creek - ARC Seismic Survey (see Envs 4808 and 5064),. Hogarth - ARC Seismic Survey, . Morphett - ARC Seismic Survey,. drilling of 2 wells (Birribiana 1 and Hans Knob 1), (see Envs 7034/6 and 7043/6)....

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...

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.

Of the 41 recognised fault and stratigraphic plays drilled in the Cooper Basin, 18 were originally proposed as fault plays, 12 as facies-change plays and 11 as unconformity plays. No diagenetic or palaeogeomorphic plays have been proposed to date....
