Oil shale potential of the Arckaringa region.
Created: 13 Nov 2024 Revised: 13 Nov 2024

Oil shales of extremely high quality have been intersected in Weedina 1 and Boorthanna 1. The main target horizon appears to approximate the top of the Stuart Range Formation but the stratigraphic position, thickness and extent of the oil shales...

Oil shales of extremely high quality have been intersected in Weedina 1 and Boorthanna 1. The main target horizon appears to approximate the top of the Stuart Range Formation but the stratigraphic position, thickness and extent of the oil shales are poorly known or unknown. A large number of existing mineral holes could supply useful data on the area.
