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...-
