Hydrocarbon potential and environmental interpretations of the Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous section in five wells in the Eromanga Basin.
Five wells along a north-south trending section in the southern Eromanga Basin were studied using petrographic techniques to delineate petroleum source rocks and possibly aid in environmental interpretation. The dispersed organic matter (d.o.m.) in...-

Crude oil characterisation and correlation study of twenty crude oils from the Cooper-Eromanga Basin, South Australia.
Organic geochemical analyses of 20 crude oil samples from twelve wells were performed to determine if any genetic oil families could be identified within the Eromanga-Cooper Basin area. The results have been plotted graphically to demonstrate the...-

Crude oil to parent source rock correlation study, Wancoocha Field.
Organic geochemical analyses were performed on 14 conventional core samples taken from the Epsilon, Murteree and Patchawarra formation intervals in Wancoocha 1 and on 3 similar samples from the Birkhead Formation in Wancoocha 4. The rock sample...-

Apatite fission track analysis of samples from the western Eromanga Basin and Eringa Trough, Australia.
16 rock samples from wells and outcrop in the western Eromanga Basin / Eringa Trough region were analysed for their apatite grain fission track properties to derive an interpretation of the geothermal history of the enclosing strata.-

Source rock richness in the Eromanga and Cooper Basins. Total organic carbon (TOC) data.
A study of source-rock richness has entailed the evaluation of TOC data for the Eromanga and Cooper Basins. TOC analyses were averaged and plotted on 1:250 000 basemaps, on a formation by formation basis. The data were contoured by honouring all data...-
