Exploration for sodium carbonate, base metals and petroleum included detailed logging and sampling of Byilkaoora 2, seismic survey (76 km of 60 fold Vibroseis data recorded at 30 metre intervals), and drilling and shooting of 10 upholes, geologically logged to aid stratigraphic correlation. Marla 8 and Marla 9 were diamond drilled and wireline logged. Marla 9 terminated in probable Rodda Beds at 436 metres with minor bituminous oil bleed at 256.3 metres. Hydrocarbon microseepage geochemical survey over PELs 23 and 30 included 634 interstitial gas samples spaced at 200 metre intervals along seismic lines. No significant anomalies were detected near Byilkaoora 2 which intersected significant oil bleeds in the Observatory Hill Formation.

Notes: Includes reports on:  - "Structural geology of the Mt. Byilkaoora area, Mt. Johns Range", J.N. Dunster, September, 1987. The southern portion of the Mount Johns Range was studied incorporating data from field mapping, Comalco seismic sections and detailed aerial photointerpretation. The aim was to help define potential fracture fairways and structural traps. Fractures were found to be a function of outcrop. Two broad synclines were mapped. If in the first syncline it is assumed that the most prospective zone is closer to the fold axis than drillhole Byilkaoora 2, about 2 square km is considered prospective. The second syncline is not considered prospective. Small anticlines do not provide viable structural or fracture plays. Thrusts responsible for the existence of Mount Johns Range are unlikely to have significantly enhanced the potential of a petroleum reservoir in the area.   - Includes Excerpts from "Hydrocarbon Microseepage geochemical survey, PEL 23 and PEL 30, South Australia", Recon Exploration (Australia) Pty Ltd, 16th September, 1987.
