The Duntroon Basin is located in the centre of the Southern Rift System between the Bight and the Otway Basins, west and SW of Kangaroo Island. It is limited to the north by the Proterozoic Gawler Craton. The formation of the basin is related to the...

Sedimentation in the Great Australian Bight (GAB) has occurred in a variety of settings from the initial intra-cratonic rift to the modern carbonate shelf. An extensive palaeodrainage system, remnants of which are still preserved, supplied clastic...

This EPP 26 surrender report has been furnished to the SA offshore Designated Authority as a result of the application made on 21/8/96 by BHP Petroleum for permission for the joint venture to surrender the permit, before committing to unwanted...

EPP 7 work conditions for 1975 (permit Year 7) required evaluation and review studies to be carried out with the aim of defining at least three areas which may have prospects geologically and geophysically as sites for wells. This report sets out the...

This frontier basin lithostratigraphic and biostratigraphic correlation study is largely based on the petrographic examination of 104 thin sections of samples from rocks intersected in the three Shell offshore exploration wells drilled on the northern...

The programme of work pursued over EPP 6 was as follows: Permit Year 1 - interpretation of 566 line km of regional reconnaisance 6 and 24-fold reflection seismic data recorded in the 1968-69 R 3 Marine Seismic Survey, plus the ongoing review and...

The R 10 Marine Seismic Survey was conducted during March, 1976 within EPPs 10 and 11 to detail the previously indicated Galah, Kookaburra and Rosella-Jabiru leads. This survey defined three structurally sound closures, Galah, Kookaburra East and...

EPPs 10 and 11 currently comprise 239 graticular blocks (approximately 17 000 sq km) in the Great Australian Bight Basin. No wells have yet been drilled in these permits which lie entirely in water depths greater than 200 m and ranging down to 1 500...

30 cuttings samples from Platypus 1 and 10 cuttings samples from Echidna 1 were analysed for total organic carbon (TOC), and appropriate samples then underwent Rock-Eval pyrolysis, if such pyrolysis data was not available from previous studies, to...
