RB 79/00055 Petrographic study of the sediments in seven Officer Basin stratigraphic wells.
Core and cuttings from 7 stratigraphic wells in the Officer Basin were examined principally to develop a depositional model for sediments of pre-Permian age. Evidence from 6 of the wells suggests that an epeiric environment prevailed during ?Cambrian...-
