Three new petroleum exploration Licences (PELs) in the Otway Basin are being offered by the South Australian Government on the basis of work program bidding. Blocks OT2019-A to C cover a total area of 6950 sq km and include 39 wells, 7230.2 km of 2D...

Six sidewall core samples from the petroleum exploration drillhole McNicol 1 in the onshore part of the Tertiary Gambier Basin have been analysed using palynological techniques. The oldest sample (from 756 m depth KB) has been dated as Maastrichtian...

An increase in groundwater salinity in parts of the Padthaway area threatens the sustainability of established irrigation developments. A number of management options to mitigate the groundwater salinity increase are being considered by State...

The Padthaway region has since the mid-1950's been an important area for irrigation of pasture, seed crops, vegetables and later vines. A shallow highly transmissive unconfined aquifer provides good quality groundwater for irrigation. Groundwater use...

The Padthaway Formation and Bridgewater Formation aquifers provide a high quality groundwater resource in the Padthaway Proclaimed Wells Area (PWA). The resource supports an irrigated agriculture and horticulture industry. Irrigation is concentrated...

In January 1993, 15 water bores in the South-East were sampled for headspace gas. 7 of these bores provided sufficient gas for compositional analysis of hydrocarbons. Methane values ranged from 25% to 92% of the total gas for these bores, with...

More than 400 samples (cuttings and core) from 26 petroleum wells in the South Australian part of the Gambier Basin were examined. Their lithology and foraminiferal fauna were recorded and their age and environment of deposition deduced where...

Push tube sampling of Neogene lacustrine sediments at three sites near the southern shores of Lake Hawdon North, about 16 km east of Robe, encountered only thin and low quality dolomitic lime mudstone. Geological mapping to the north and east of the...

A very small area located ~25 km south-east of Mount Gambier was taken up to try to identify in outcrop or in the near surface a glass grade dolomite resource which would be suitable to mine as a replacement for Unimin’s Tantanoola dolomite deposit....

Palynological analyses of eight cutting samples from the petroleum exploration drillhole McNamara 1, which was drilled in the onshore part of the Gambier-Otway Basins, show distinctive microfloristic assemblages. The oldest samples are dated as Late...

Palynological analyses of eight core samples taken from the Caroline 1 drillhole, onshore Gambier Basin, over the depth interval 748-827 m KB, indicate the presence of the Early Eocene, Lower Malvacipollis diversus Spore-Pollen Zone. A reconstruction...

Palynological analyses of 12 drill cuttings samples from the petroleum exploration well Morum 1, which was drilled in 1975 in the offshore part of the Gambier and Otway Basins, show distinctive palynofloral assemblages. The oldest samples are dated...

Palynological analyses of eight drill cuttings samples from Burrungule 1 well, in the onshore part of the Gambier and Otway Basins, show distinctive microfloristic assemblages. The oldest samples are dated as Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian), and...
