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...

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...

Potential mature source rocks occur in the Poolowanna Formation, the Peera Peera Formation and the upper part of the Walkandi Formation. In addition, marginally mature potential source rocks with fair to moderate TOC may be present in the lower half...

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.

Nineteen drill cuttings and 15 drill core samples of Permian, Cretaceous and Jurassic ages were assessed for organic maturation and source rock potential.

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...

Wertaloona Seismic Survey - AIM:The 1981 Wertaloona Seismic Survey programme was designed by the PELs 5 and 6 Arrowie Block partners to provide the first high quality, multifold seismic reflection data in the area of likely preserved thick Cambrian...

Mature potential source rocks occur in the Juraasic Poolowanna Formation and the Triassic Peera Peera Formation. The lower Poolowanna interval has a greater source potential than does the upper Poolowanna. Marginally mature potential source rocks...

A collection of 5 stratigraphic cross-sections through the Pedirka region of South Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland, at a vertical scale of 1:200. GR and sonic well log correlations are related to geological time intervals, utilizing...

34 selected drill core and cuttings samples from six wells were assessed by petrographic methods for their degree of organic maturation and petroleum source potential. The sampled sequence ranged in age from ?Devonian through to Permian, Jurassic and...

Six rock samples (2 core, 4 cuttings) from Mesozoic acquifers within old water boreholes in the Mulka and Arckaringa Block areas were analysed geochemically for traces of residual oil, using solvent extraction, liquid and gas chromatography and Rock...

Report describes the outcome of approximately 300 line km of seismic detailing of 2 prospects and 7 strong leads prior to possible Block commitment drilling in 1988-1989. A total of 49 lines derived from 8 Pedirka area seismic surveys, including the...

Contains brief reporting status and budget expenditure comments about active exploration programmes, principally comprised of seismic survey acquisition and processing activities, with examples of newly processed seismic sections.

A summary of Block petroleum prospectivity prepared prior to starting selective low-key exploration during the 1985-1989 licence period. The report gives the rationale for the proposed work programme of 4 wells and 1900 line km of seismic acquisition...

AIM:The 1982 Christmas Creek Seismic Survey was designed to cover a wide area of the sparsely explored western farmout blocks of PELs 5 and 6, where Eromanga Basin sediments thin and overly sub-basins of variously aged prospective sediments. Primary...
