Four areas (OT95-A to D) located in the South Australian sector of the onshore Otway Basin, are available for application until 30/6/95 as Petroleum Exploration Licences. The areas range in size from 255 sq km to 2 023 sq km, and seismic line...

The standing of crude oil on the beaches of southern Australia was first recorded approximately 150 years ago. This material, known locally as coastal bitumen, was used by the early maritime visitors and settlers to caulk their vessels and is the...

The aim was to derive a new method for the evaluation of porosity and water saturation for Pretty Hill Sandstone reservoirs, Otway Basin. Over 350 core plugs were measured for ambient and overburden porosity and permeability, and absolute grain...

A new subdivision of the Foraminisporis wonthaggiensis Zone (Helby et al., 1987) of the Early Cretaceous Crayfish Group sediments of the Otway Basin is proposed. Seven zones are identified from the palynological data and three from the dispersed...

The Groundwater (Border Agreement) Act of 1985 legislated to provide a framework for the joint management of groundwater resources within a 40 km wide strip along the length of the South Australian and Victorian Border, which is referred to as the...

Two samples from Killarney 1 were analysed to determine whether basement (meta-sediments and/or meta-volcanics) are present in the lower part of the well. The samples contain palynofloras correlative with the F. wonthaggiensis Zone (the upper part)....

Comprises details of the operations, field acquisition, results and interpretation of the seismic and gravity survey. A 12 mile 6-fold CDP line was shot from Millicent to the coast. The line tied previous and new surveys. Reprocessing and repicking of...

In order to examine the prospectivity of EPP 23, for which they assumed the operatorship by a 65% farm-in in August 1990, BHP Petroleum have examined well palynological and geochemical data in and around the permit and have interpreted over 600 km of...

Comprises details of the operations, field acquisition, results and interpretation of the seismic and magnetometer survey. A total of 304 miles of Aquapulse seismic data and 300 miles of magnetic data were recorded. The survey aimed to follow up areas...

EPP 24 lies in the north-western corner of the Otway Basin, offshore from Robe, South Australia. The permit geology is dominated by sediments of the Early Cretaceous Otway Group. A tectonic hinge-line called the Chama Terrace runs obliquely from...

AIM:The Cape Grim to Cape Jaffa Marine Seismic Survey was undertaken by Haematite Explorations Pty Ltd in its petroleum exploration leases held over the Otway Basin, to provide subsurface seismic reflector data along the narrow continental shelf from...

This consultant's report prepared for the EPP SA-2 operator comprises a review of the regional basinal geology, tectonics and stratigraphy, petroleum exploration history and recorded hydrocarbon occurrences, seismic coverage and interpretive results,...

Contains information relating to the South Australian portion of the inaugural, offshore southern Australian broad reconnaissance reflection seismic survey conducted by BHP Ltd's new petroleum exploration subsidiary Haematite Explorations Pty Ltd in...

This report includes tabular data of permeability to air, helium injection porosity and density determinations. Data presented graphically includes a porosity versus permeability to air plot. The South Australian Department of Mines and Energy also...

AIM: To further delineate the Stockdale lead, the Churinga Prospect, the Sugarloaf Prospect and several small fault bounded leads along the southern side of the central uplift zone of the onshore Robe Trough, with the expectation of then being able to...

AIM: To derive a clearer understanding of the morphology and structural style of the Robe Trough and its margins, and to detail structural leads identified within the central part of the trough, where a number of possible fault-bounded closures had...

Reports document the exploration activity highlights deriving from PEL 32 during its first 8 years of tenure, including the discovery of the first commercial petroleum accumulation within the South Australian portion of the Otway Basin, after some 28...
