Geology and hydrocarbon prospects of the Arckaringa Block.
Due to its thin sequence and shallow depth of burial, most of the Arckaringa Basin is predicted to be immature for hydrocarbon generation in traditional terms. Source rock and vitrinite studies in the Boorthanna Trough however indicate that the basal...-
