In a search for economic Tertiary brown coal in the south-eastern Murray Basin, a large reconnaissance drilling programme was undertaken during February-April 1981 to test known carbonaceous sediments reported as encountered by previous drillholes and...

Airborne and ground magnetic surveys were conducted in the Bundulla area of the Nullarbor Plain (SA), prior to drilling a prominent circular aeromagnetic feature. 2 percussion/rotary mud holes, each drilled to TD 369.5 m, penetrated crystalline...

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...

Roxby Downs - type base metal deposits, potentially associated with linear and discrete magnetic anomalies of unknown origin in the basement, were the prime targets of exploration in an area extending between Koonalda and Hughes, adjacent to the SA/WA...

Following an airborne magnetic/radiometric survey, two rotary percussion holes totalling 819 m were drilled on negative magnetic anomalies to reach pre-Mesozoic basement (gabbro and meta-sandstone) in the Koonalda area of the Nullarbor Plain. No...

Following indications from previous work, a programme of reconnaissance seismic refraction and gravity exploration was carried out in the northern portion of the Murray Basin in South Australia in 1963. It has been shown that Permian sedimentation is...

Gravity and seismic surveys conducted over a number of years in the South Australian portion of the Murray Basin are discussed in chronological sequence and related to the geology. Little is known of the pre-Tertiary geology of the area from outcrops...

The Barabba Gravity Low in the Northern Adelaide Plains has been interpreted as a southerly dipping trough-like depression in Precambrian bedrock, infilled with Tertiary and covered by a blanket of Quaternary sediments. All margins of this feature are...

A gravity survey was carried out in the Mallala-Balaklava area located about 56 km north of Adelaide as shown on Fig. 1. Twelve days were spent in fieldwork. Reduction and interpretation of results occupied a further fourteen days.

Exploration for a suitable underground gas storage target in the Northern Adelaide Plains was initiated in 1964. Prior to the present investigation, four other areas have been examined and rejected as target areas, mainly due to the shallow depth of...

Wilkinson 1 stratigraphic well was drilled by the SA Department of Mines and Energy in mid-1978, about 250 km south-west of Coober Pedy, in the Tallaringa Trough. Here a thick section of Cambrian claystones, limestones and evaporites, at least 594 m...

After a regional review of the absorbent clay mineral potential of known palygorskite and attapulgite - bearing Middle Tertiary palaeochannel sediments in an area centred 110 km south-west of Coober Pedy, a possibly economic partly-exposed attapulgite...

Comprises details of the operations, field acquisition, results and interpretation of the seismic survey. A total of 268 miles of conventional seismic and 6.5 miles of 3-fold data were recorded. The objectives were to improve the structural and...

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...

Comprises details of the operations, field acquisition, results and interpretation of the seismic and gravity survey. The seismic objectives were to obtain additional information on the structure of the Renmark Trough and to locate a stratigraphic...
