5 drillcore samples of Early Cambrian Mount McDonnell Formation shallow marine mudstone intersected by SADME stratigraphic drillhole Investigator 2 on Kangaroo Island between 139 and 505 metres depth KB were analysed geochemically to determine their...

13 Early Cambrian drill core samples from three wells on Yorke Peninsula were analysed primarily to determine the presence or absence of dinosteranes in their preserved organic material. In addition, a beach strand tar ball from the southern coast of...

Three dimensional block modelling of aeromagnetic data aimed at finding faulted magnetic basement north of Troubridge Island has located a near east-west striking basement fault running approximately through AMG 757500E, 6112500N, which may have up to...

AIM: The 1992 Western Atlas Seismic Survey programme was aimed primarily at confirming the closure of the Investigator strong lead, a large, complex Lower Cambrian carbonate play situated at the southern end of the Marsden Trend, and secondly was...

Port Julia 1A was recently drilled by BHP Minerals in EL 1112 to investigate a bullseye magnetic anomaly, but failed to realise its mineral-related objective. The well was fully cored through the Cambrian Coobowie Limestone, Moonan Formation and...

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...

A Houston, Texas, consultant's offshore operational weather risk background data provided to the PEL 53 licensees on: Estimates of extreme wind and wave conditions for four locations in Investigator Strait for 10 and 50 year return periods; Wind and...

Field examination of common asphaltite occurrences on Kangaroo Island beaches has concluded that they are relatively recent strandings of unknown origin and age. Their presumed sea floor mode of transport indicates a likely nearby source within the...

A review of both 1992 and 1994 aeromagnetic data for the region of Troubridge Shoal in Gulf St Vincent, and of a 1993-made interpretation of the first survey, was carried out for Canyon by a Houston-based geophysical consultant. The aim was to assess...

25 selected Cambrian outcrop samples taken from the Fleurieu Peninsula and Kanmantoo Trough areas were analysed for total organic carbon and source bed hydrocarbon yield parameters by a Houston, Texas, based contractor, as an alternative check on the...

This study has shown that significant dolomite formation has occurred during early diagenetic stages in the Early Cambrian carbonate sequence of Yorke Peninsula. Relict depositional textures indicate that the sequence consists of tidal flat...

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...

19 selected drillcore plug samples taken from Cambrian dolomitic limestone and sandstone potential reservoir beds in 4 Stansbury Basin wells, were analysed for their permeability to air and helium injection porosity, at ambient conditions. However,...

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...

30 selected drill core samples taken from the depth interval 121.4 to 975.8 metres KB in the SADME Investigator 2 stratigraphic well on Kangaroo Island were analysed for source bed hydrocarbon yield parameters by a Houston, Texas, based contractor.

During the reporting quarter Canyon personnel and Australian geophysical consultant, Jim Allender, have contracted a shallow water seismic crew, Furgo, to shoot a shallow water seismic program on the west side of the basin (up against Yorke Peninsula...

During the reporting quarter, Canyon, using our Australian geophysical consultant Jim Allender as the on site bird dog, shot a 226 km shallow water seismic program in the western and southwestern portions of the Stansbury Basin. The seismic...

During the major portion of this time period, Canyon (Australia) Pty Ltd has been using Hosking Geophysical to process the 763 kilometers of offshore seismic data that was shot by Canyon in July of this year. The data base is close to 85% processed...

In the reporting period the joint venture partners have made progress in several areas: 1. compilation of data, 2. copying of seismic tapes, 3. reprocessing of seismic data, 4. modeling of magnetic data for depth to basement, and, 5. attracting third...
