10 of 14 water wells drilled were successful.

3 wells were drilled to supply the saline side of the proposed dual water supply system. Test-pumping indicated long term yields of 0.4 to 0.9 L/s. 1 of the wells (IND26) has salinity of 900 mg/L. If its salinity does not rise, it should be connected...

An extensive review was undertaken of the potential of the eastern Officer Basin area extending 50-150 km west of Oodnadatta for hosting buried native sulphur deposits in association with salt dome structures, but the recommended follow-up exploration...

In South Australia, the intracratonic eastern Officer Basin, which may contain up to 10 km of Neoproterozoic to Paleozoic sediments, is bounded by the Precambrian Gawler Craton to the southeast, the Musgrave Block to the north, and passes into...

This technical assessment of petroleum prospectivity and attendant exploration risk for the eastern Officer Basin was prepared by SAOGC staff to help management decide the merits or otherwise of making a PEL application for vacant acreage gazetted by...

Following the allocation in 1992 of Aust $2 million to MESA for petroleum exploration as part of the SA Exploration Initiative, the Department undertook to conduct reconnaisance seismic surveys over selected, poorly known sedimentary basins. As part...

Burial history analysis of the structurally complex eastern Officer Basin region was performed using data from petroleum, trona exploration and stratigraphic wells, seismic upholes, coal drillholes and selected seismic sections, to construct isopachs...

Sampling of the Mount Chandler Sandstone formation within the Indulkana Range for phosphate revealed an average value of 0.12% P205 with a range from 0.05% to 0.35% P205 for 29 samples.

Pronounced positive and negative geophysical anomalies on EVERARD represent the crystalline Musgrave Block in the north, a basement trough more than 4 km in depth that flanks the Musgrave Block to the south, and the crystalline Ammaroodinna Inlier to...

A groundwater survey of areas of Mimili Station, within and around the Everard Ranges in North West South Australia, indicates that there are reasonable prospects for finding supplies of stock water in fine grained alluvial materials which form broad...

The WINTINNA 1:250 000 mapsheet area lies between latitudes 27° to 28° South and longitudes 133°30’ to 135°00’ East. This ~16 400 square km area includes the Marla and Cadney Park settlements, and is crossed by the Stuart Highway and Adelaide to...

Aerial photography, satellite imagery, geological maps and on-ground geological and geophysical (transient electromagnetic) investigations were used in early 1998 to select drilling sites for additional water wells to supply Indulkana township in the...

Agnes Creek is located near the eastern outcrop margin of the Proterozoic Musgrave Province, which is composed predominantly of amphibolite to granulite facies meta-igneous and metasedimentary gneisses of the Birksgate Complex. Geochronological...

Bedrock outcrops were mapped at 61 sites spread over 7550 square km of the Great Victoria Desert, including many that had previously been geologically mis-interpreted, or had never before been visited. The sedimentary depositional environment of the...

The Marla Group and its units are defined, including redefinition of Mount Johns Conglomerate and Trainor Hill Sandstone. Recurrent tectonic rejuvenation of highlands in the north, during the Cambrian - Ordovician, led to deposition of fluvial...
