Reconstructed thermal and structural histories derived from new AFTA Apatite Fission Track Analysis, vitrinite reflectance and (U-Th)/He apatite dating results from the Morum-1 well, Otway Basin, reveal that the Morum High is a mid-Tertiary inversion...

AFTA is based on the progressive reduction in track length as a function of temperature and time ("fission track annealing"). This reduction in track length is also manifested as a reduction in fission track age. New tracks are produced throughout...

This paper summarizes new and recent apatite fission track analysis and vitrinite reflectance results from across the Irish Sea basin system and its margins, which provide new constraints on the magnitude and timing of post-Palaeozoic exhumation...

Otway Basin U-Th_He ages presentation Structurally complex, containing numerous unconformities. •Rapid fluctuation in maturity over small distances. •Previous studies using AFTA and VR reveal multiple paleo-thermal episodes. •Mid-Cretaceous (~95 Ma)...

In an attempt to better understand the thermal history of the Ahnet and Reggane Basins, the techniques of apatite fission track analysis and zircon fission track analysis were employed on samples from a number of exploration wells previously drilled...

66 sidewall cores were processed and examined.

53 sidewall cores were processed and examined.

In a search for possible economic Permian coal seams buried at the southern end of the Boorthanna Trough of the Arckaringa Basin, the Petromin joint venture consortium selected an area to drill where it was inferred that such coal might lie within 300...

Scout drilling of gravity low anomalies in the western half of the buried Permian Wallira Trough (2 rotary mud holes totalling 100 m), in a search for possible economic Upper Permian coal seams which might extend westward from those discovered in the...

Drilling of 3 rotary mud holes totalling 392 m on gravity lows in the Mabel Creek area disclosed only thin seams of lignite at about 66 m depth. Because the holes were not geophysically logged, the coal seam thickness could not be ascertained....

Within the surrendered sections of the subject exploration licences in the Karoonda, Marmon Jabuk, Swan Reach, Blanchetown and Cooke Plains areas, following the conduct there of a 45.4 line km gravity survey and the drilling and geophysical logging of...

Four areas (OT95-A to D) located in the South Australian sector of the onshore Otway Basin, are available for application until 30/6/95 as Petroleum Exploration Licences. The areas range in size from 255 sq km to 2 023 sq km, and seismic line...

TRONA EXPLORATION: Of the 9 rotary/diamond holes drilled, only the first, Meramangye 1, intersected a unit equivalent to the Observatory Hill Beds, which was the target horizon for trona. Drillholes Manya nos 2-6 and Marla 7 intersected Cambrian red...

The exploration concept was based on searching for secondary uranium mineralisation that might be derived from the Musgrave Block basement rocks and that could have become precipitated within calcrete horizons from ponded uraniferous surface drainage...

Exploration for possible heavy mineral sand marine placer deposits within Tertiary sediments on the northern margin of the Murray Basin comprised aircore drilling (28 holes, total 744 m) in the Mutooroo station area, 50 km south-east of Olary. The...
