Design and working drawings for tubular pressure vessel for investigating drying coal under high pressure.

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...

Following representations from a Mr W. Featherstone, the writer arranged to inspect, in that gentleman's company, a section of the coastline near Robe, where a seepage of oil was said to have been seen. Mr Featherstone, who is a very old gentleman (86...

Samples of bitumen were collected by Mr C.W. Foster of Coulta along the coast at various places between Point Drummond and Mount Greenly a distance of approximately 12 miles. The main occurrence is in a small bay about 2.5 miles south south east of...

Results are reported of laboratory firing tests made on 11 shale samples and 4 clay samples, performed in both oxidising and reducing furnace atmospheres for various length heating periods over an extensive fusion temperature range. The bloating...

Two alternative sites for a pumped storage scheme are compared. The main differences are in the reservoirs and the appurtenant works. The comparison is incomplete because of the lack of detailed information.

The site of a proposed pump storage site at Salt Creek was investigated by eleven diamond drill holes. Most of the site is underlain by greywacke and quartzite of the Kanmantoo Group (Backstairs Passage Formation), with minor pockets of Permian...

Five additional cable tool holes drilled at the Normanville pumped storage site further delineated the talus/bedrock configuration at the proposed power station site and on the southern tunnel route.

Five test boreholes were put down on the above site, each having a proposed maximum depth of 150’. Generally uniform conditions were experienced in each hole; hence correlation on a broad scale was reasonably good. Cinders and similar fill material...

Mr J.W.S. Mitchell of Henley Beach has volunteered information about seepages of asphaltic material known to his ancestors. Some asphaltic material was found, but this could not have originated from the outcropping rocks. Deposition by the tide from a...

Assessment of energy used annually from energy resources to end use.

Marla 1A and 1B reached 215.30 metres and 379.40 metres respectively, penetrating aeolian sands overlying the Bulldog Shale, Cadna-owie Formation an d Observatory Hill Beds. In contrast to Byilkaoora 1, oil shows and calcite pseudomorphs after...

Geophysical and geological surveys plus test drilling have located a Tertiary palaeochannel incised within Cambrian-Precambrian bedrock. Present data indicate potentially favourable reservoir and seal conditions, although its headward extent and...

The groundwater licensing authorities in the States of South Australia and Victoria recognize that future development of the lands adjacent to the border will depend on the groundwater resource underlying those lands. In most areas there, shallow...

4 stage exploration programme is proposed to include completion of gravity station network in Saint Kilda, Dry Creek and Torrens Island area, reconnaissance and detailed seismic surveys and detailed stratigraphic drilling to evaluate the South Maslin...

Preliminary study of end uses according to fuel types, economic sector and purpose.
