In South Australia since 1958, 140,400 km of seismic have been recorded (75,500 onshore) and 882 wells drilled (of which 16 are offshore wildcats and 238 are development wells). Exploration and development have taken place in three distinct phases....

The Duntroon Basin is an ESE-trending Mesozoic to Tertiary sedimentary embayment in the continental shelf, located SE of the Great Australian Bight Basin and west of Kangaroo Island. The report includes a discussion of the stratigraphy based on...

Information on the resistive properties of overburden and bedrock, and on the thickness of the overburden was obtained for a regional study of the geology. The results show the water-table at a depth of 12-46 metres with groundwater salinity...

Observations of karst events at Old Homestead Cave on the Nullarbor Plain add further evidence for a regional, post-emergence Nullarbor karst history or succession of events. Litho-stratigraphy and facies have exerted a control on dissolution and...

There is an acute shortage of potable water, for both human and stock consumption, west of Ceduna. Various schemes have been suggested to alleviate this situation, one of which is to find additional low salinity groundwater lenses like those which...

Samples are identified from Late Cretaceous to Early Eocene.

This report is the text of a paper submitted for inclusion in the AGSO Journal of Australian Geology & Geophysics - special issue devoted to 'The Mineral Potential of Major Provinces'. In this final form the paper was submitted to AGSO in...

Sedimentation in the Great Australian Bight (GAB) has occurred in a variety of settings from the initial intra-cratonic rift to the modern carbonate shelf. An extensive palaeodrainage system, remnants of which are still preserved, supplied clastic...

Abstracts include: Conference presentation summary for the 1993 MESA BARTON and Colona drilling programmes (both forming part of the South Australian Exploration Initiative) - [technical rationale, planned drillholes and preliminary results]....

The offshore Mesozoic-Tertiary Bight and Duntroon basins formed through rifting and separation of the Australian and Antartic plates. Palynological investigation of samples dredged during BMR Rig Seismic Cruise 66 showed that the bulk of the...

A consultant to MESA interviewed approximately 30 petroleum industry personnel throughout Australia from April to July, 1996. The aims of the customer feedback poll were to measure the Petroleum Division's performance in promoting and regulating the...

The Yellabinna Environmental Association is dominated by the dunefield of the Great Victoria Desert. Landforms are predominantly dunes and interdune corridors or swales. Palaeoforms include marine landforms of the Eucla Platform, such as the Nullarbor...

Intrepid Geophysics (IG) and Geoscience Australia (GA) have undertaken a potential field study of the Great Australian Bight to support petroleum exploration of Australia's southern margin. A key component of the study was the progressive upgrading of...

The programme of work pursued over EPP 5 was as follows: Permit Year 1 - interpretation of 407 line km of regional reconnaissance 6 and 24-fold reflection seismic data recorded in the 1968-69 R 3 Marine Seismic Survey, plus the ongoing review and...

Reports deal mainly with ongoing seismic processing and interpretation projects. A number of prospects were identified during Year 1 from the reprocessing of older Shell seismic data, and followed up in Year 2 by the acquisition of a 1205 line km...
