Four new petroleum exploration licence (PEL) release areas in the Cooper and Eromanga Basins are being offered by the South Australian Government on the basis of work program bidding. Blocks CO2013-A to CO2013-D comprise areas CO2013-A 627 km2 (1...

Three contiguous licences were granted to Green Rock Energy Pty Ltd on 17 August 2007 for an initial term of 5 years. These licences were located in the south western end of the Patchawarra Trough in the Cooper Basin and the initial focus was on areas...

Seven wells along a line of section in the southern Cooper Basin were studied. Examination of coals in Permian and Triassic sequences revealed marked vertical and lateral trends in vitrinite, inertinite and exinite content and their microlithotypes....

This report summarises the results of the 1990 SAGASCO Resources Ltd consultancy project for Santos Ltd on the Triassic Nappamerri Group in South Australia. The Nappamerri Group has significant exploration potential in areas where faults act to...

A sedimentary sequence of Permian age provides both the source and reservoirs for the major portion of the hydrocarbons discovered in the Cooper Basin. This sequence is composed of shales, siltstones, coals and sandstones, and in 1967 was named the...

Contains open hole drillstem test raw field data and an operator geophysicist's time/depth calibration report for the well velocity survey.

AIM:The 1980 Woolkanie Seismic Survey was primarily aimed at detailed gridding over areas of known commercial hydrocarbon accumulation, and more specifically was directed toward locating drilling exploration/appraisal sites on or near existing fields,...

Gasoline range hydrocarbon analysis, carbon isotope analysis of C12+ saturates and aromatics and GC-MS analysis of C12+ naphthenes provide a consistent picture of the source affinity and thermal maturity of Cretaceous (Murta Member-type) and Jurassic...

AIM:To integrate good quality new data into the regional seismic grid and mature known structural prospects and leads as potential gas drilling targets, plus explore virgin territory as part of a systematic long-term Vibroseis mapping project in the...

AIM: To mature several large structural leads, map possible stratigraphic traps on the flanks of regional highs and extend the regional Vibroseis coverage. METHODS: Survey dates: 10/4/79 - 23/11/79. Energy source: Vibroseis. CDP coverage: 1200%....

This report summarises basic data relating to the stratigraphic and geographic distribution, composition and recovery efficiency of Cooper Basin hydrocarbons. Their possible geological controls are discussed, with the aim of refining pre-drill...

34 core plug samples from 6 wells were studied to identify the petrological characteristics of the Tirrawarra Sandstone, particularly its diagenetic history and factors controlling reservoir quality. Such information is necessary for the successful...

15 core plug samples from 3 development wells draining the Patchawarra Formation gas reservoir on Tirrawarra Field were studied petrographically to help establish any geological basis for the broad differences in drillstem test results obtained from...

A review of the depositional setting, reservoir, seal and trapping potential of the Poolowanna Formation in the Eromanga Basin has been undertaken covering PELs 5 and 6. Extensive interpretation of wireline logs and available palynological data...
