RB 80/00010 Oil geochemistry and assessment of hydrocarbon source potential of Cambrian and Devonian rocks, Officer Basin, South Australia.
Oil shows in the Observatory Hill Beds in Byilkaoora 1 occur in a non-marine, alkaline playa lake sequence. Geochemical analysis suggests that they are immature and belong to 2 primary genetic families. The less altered oils are quite unlike...-
