Apatite Fission Track Analysis (AFTA ®) and organic maturity data, including Vitrinite Reflectance (VR) and VRF™ methods have been applied to samples from the Cape Sorell-I well, offshore Western Tasmania, to provide a thermal history framework for...

Reconstructed thermal and structural histories derived from new AFTA Apatite Fission Track Analysis, vitrinite reflectance and (U-Th)/He apatite dating results from the Morum-1 well, Otway Basin, reveal that the Morum High is a mid-Tertiary inversion...

A detailed account of the large scale copper mining and processing operations occurring in the 'Copper Triangle' region of South Australia in the few years following the end of the First World War. The included metrics and pictorial coverage of many...

They went with songs to the battle, they were young. Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:...

Study of the biostratigraphy of the Stansbury and Arrowie basins

PIRSA Petroleum commissioned the following report seeking assistance in promoting further petroleum exploration activity in the South Australian sector of the Officer Basin. Oil and gas exploration and development activity in the Cooper - Eromanga and...

AFTA is based on the progressive reduction in track length as a function of temperature and time ("fission track annealing"). This reduction in track length is also manifested as a reduction in fission track age. New tracks are produced throughout...

A recent major re-analysis of the results of the 1996-1997 mud testing program has provided a lot of insight into the factors driving mud performance in the field. To end 1997 we had carried out 22 core tests involving WBMs and 10 involving SBMs/OBMs...

This paper summarizes new and recent apatite fission track analysis and vitrinite reflectance results from across the Irish Sea basin system and its margins, which provide new constraints on the magnitude and timing of post-Palaeozoic exhumation...

The pressure experiments reported by Wendt et al. are cast in such a way as to question the fundamental basis underpinning apatite fission track thermochronology, implying the possibility of a large systematic error in previous interpretations. We...

This report aims to refine and advance previous knowledge of the regional thermal history variation throughout three central Australian basins, and to reconstruct constrained (and geologically plausible) maturation and burial histories for a large...

The Neoproterozoic is characterised by global environmental change and the diversification of many groups in the fossil record including animals and photosynthesising microflora. The cause-effect relationships between environmental and biotic changes...

A reservoir characterisation study of the Murta reservoir in the Jena, Alwyn, Limestone-Creek, Biala & Ulandi (JALBU) area of the Nappacoongee-Murtereee Horst has been conducted to identify the potential recovery of oil from the lower permeability...

This report aims to determine if sufficient data exists to identify deepwater stratigraphic and salt-related petroleum plays in the Officer Basin. It reviews the stratigraphy of the Officer Basin, including seismic and well data. Information on the...

Integration of regional seismic interpretation, sonic velocity, vitrinite reflectance and apatite fission track analysis (AFTA®) studies has demonstrated that the western region of the Moray Firth rift arm (UK North Sea) experienced pronounced...

Otway Basin U-Th_He ages presentation Structurally complex, containing numerous unconformities. •Rapid fluctuation in maturity over small distances. •Previous studies using AFTA and VR reveal multiple paleo-thermal episodes. •Mid-Cretaceous (~95 Ma)...

Like apatites, zircons are a common detrital constituent of medium to coarse-grained clastic sediments. The zircon grains originate as accessory minerals in igneous or metamorphic rocks, and as they are very stable during erosion and transport, they...

Project objective was to define the interaction of those factors influencing reservoir quality in Permian sandstones of the southern Cooper Basin. Three main factors impact on reservoir quality: diagenisis, sedimentary facies and basin architecture.

Numerical simulation, using Particle Flow Code 2 Dimension (PFC2D) was performed to predict geomechanical properties of sealing rocks from the Otway Basin and North West Shelf Using this technique, the effect of clay abundance in specimen on seal...
