Abstract:
Seismic surveys have generally been made over the margins of the Thomson Syncline and over basement highs such as tne Galway, Chandos and Thunda structures. These anticlinal trends were the main targets for petroleum exploration in the Eromanga and Cooper Basin Sequences. Deep seismic reflections recorded in the central region were interpreted to indicate a very thick Permian sequence. However some doubts were cast on the identification of the age of the sediments in the lower part of the section since reconnaissance gravity data indicate that a major low over the Thomson Syncline is similar to that over the Warrabin Trough which is known to contain Devonian sediments.
