RB 98/00030 Lineament associations in the Cooper Basin region, South Australia - Basement controls on hydrocarbon distribution.
Detailed lineament analysis of the Cooper Basin area has established the presence of two lineament networks. A gas-prone network of NW and NE trending lineaments shows strong correlation with the presence of gas in alternating blocks, but no gas...-
