Datasets

The mesac Open Data Portal datasets contain detailed records of seismic surveys and geochemical data, and they are made available here to industry, researchers and the public.

  • PEL 47. Progress and technical reports for the period June 1990 to March 1993.

    Anzoil NL carried out geological and geophysical studies on previous exploration data, but was unsuccessful in attracting farmin partners either locally or overseas. The licence area was reduced to ease the work commitment, by partial relinquishment...

  • Arrowie Block acreage assessment.

    During the period January 1946-December 1985 under review, the following petroleum exploration work was carried out over the Arrowie Block: 6 gravity, 2 aeromagnetic and 10 seismic surveys (total seismic coverage 2781 line km), plus 4 wells, all dry....

  • RB 2002/00024 Sequence analysis and petroleum potential in the Arrowie Basin, South Australia.

    Cambrian sediments in the Arrowie Basin were deposited on a rifted continental margin. Four distinct depositional regimes, ranging from a western, tectonically stable shelf, through platform-ramp to eastern slope and trough-synclines, can be...

  • RB 2002/00033 Correlation within Early Palaeozoic basins of eastern South Australia.

    The great majority of lower Palaeozoic rocks in the Stansbury, Arrowie and Warburton Basins are of Cambrian age, although a few Early Ordovician fossils have been reported from drillholes in the sub-surface Warburton Basin. The Cambrian is the only...
