Six sidewall core samples from the petroleum exploration drillhole McNicol 1 in the onshore part of the Tertiary Gambier Basin have been analysed using palynological techniques. The oldest sample (from 756 m depth KB) has been dated as Maastrichtian...

More than 400 samples (cuttings and core) from 26 petroleum wells in the South Australian part of the Gambier Basin were examined. Their lithology and foraminiferal fauna were recorded and their age and environment of deposition deduced where...

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...

AIM: The 1987 Orana Seismic Survey, consisting of 14 lines with a total coverage of 55.6 line kms, was shot to further detail leads identified by the 1985 Burrungule Seismic Survey, other than the single lead (McNamara Prospect) which was confidently...

The sediments of the Gambier Embayment are mainly of Cretaceous and Tertiary age. Lower Cretaceous subsurface units have been referred to outcropping rocks of the Otway and Merino Groups, but satisfactory criteria for their identification with...

Stratigraphic evidence indicates major change in sedimentary regime in the Middle Eocene, close to the inferred onset of continental breakup. Deep sea drill core suggests an Antarctic ice sheet may have existed at this time, when Australasia was much...

When positive signs of pollution were encountered in water being obtained from the Gambier Limestone in supply bore No. 1 at Australian Processors and Distributors Pty. Ltd. factory, it was decided to investigate the possibility of obtaining an...
