Constraints on the hydrocarbon charge history of sandstone reservoirs in the Strzelecki Field, Eromanga Basin, South Australia

Constraints on the hydrocarbon charge history of sandstone reservoirs in the Strzelecki Field, Eromanga Basin, South Australia

Publication Name: PESA's Eastern Australasian Basin Symposium II
Authors: L. Kramer, D.M. McKirdy, K.R. Arouri, L. Schwark and D. Leythaeuser
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2004

 

Abstract:

The Strzelecki oil and gas field is located on the southern margin of the Nappamerri Trough, a major hydrocarbon kitchen in the Cooper/Eromanga petroleum province of central Australia. Its oil-bearing sandstones (Hutton, Birkhead, Namur) are all of M...

Gas-oil-source correlations in the Otway Basin, southern Australia

Gas-oil-source correlations in the Otway Basin, southern Australia

Publication Name: PESA's Eastern Australasian Basin Symposium II
Authors: C.J. Boreham, J.M. Hope, P. Jackson, R. Davenport, K.L. Earl, D.S. Edwards, G.A. Logan and A.A. Krassay
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2004

 

Abstract:

Genetic relationships have been found between natural gases, oils, oil stains and potential source rocks in the Otway Basin using a combination of molecular and isotopic (carbon and hydrogen) compositions. These correlations re-enforce the strong com...

Higher Plant Biomarkers on the Nmth West Shelf: Application in Stratigraphic Correlation and Palaeoclimate Reconstruction

Higher Plant Biomarkers on the Nmth West Shelf: Application in Stratigraphic Correlation and Palaeoclimate Reconstruction

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: B. G. K. van Aarssen, R. Alexander and R. 1. Kagi
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 1998

 

Abstract:

Recently developed biomarker technology has been used to correlate sedimentary sequences on the North West Shelf. Higher plants present at time of deposition of the sediments leave a fingerprint in the form of chemical fossils. This fingerprint refle...

Enigmatic asphaltites from the southern Australian margin: molecular and carbon isotopic composition

Enigmatic asphaltites from the southern Australian margin: molecular and carbon isotopic composition

Publication Name: PESA Journal
Authors: Dianne Edwards, David M. McKirdy and Roger E. Summons
Reference Type: Journal Article
Date Published: December 1998

 

Abstract:

Jet black asphaltite ( 4-18 o API) recovered from the shores of Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania is the least common but most spectacular variety of Australian coastal bitumen. It typically strands in the form of large (u...

Oil families and effective source rocks of Western Australia

Publication Name: PESA Journal No. 26
Authors: John Scott and Birgitta Hartung-Kagi
Reference Type: Journal Article
Date Published: December 1998

 

Abstract:

Biomarker patterns as determined by GC and GC-MS analysis, in particular the character of isoprenoids, steranes and triterpanes, provide a powerful tool for regional oil-oil and oil-source correlations in Western Australia, when interpreted in the ge...

Geochemical comparison of oil trapped in fluid inclusions and reservoired oil in Blackback oilfield, Gippsland Basin, Australia

Geochemical comparison of oil trapped in fluid inclusions and reservoired oil in Blackback oilfield, Gippsland Basin, Australia

Publication Name: PESA Journal No. 26
Authors: Simon C. George, Peter J. Eadington, Mark Lisk and Robinson A. Quezada
Reference Type: Journal Article
Date Published: December 1998

 

Abstract:

The oil trapped in fluid inclusions in the main reservoir of the Blackback oilfield, the top of the Latrobe Group, has been compared with currently reservoired oil from the same horizon using detailed molecular geochemistry, and also with other Gipps...

Reference Type: Journal Article
Date Published: December 1998

 

Abstract:

Higher plants present at the time of deposition of near-shore marine sediments leave a fingerprint in the form of chemical fossils. This fingerprint reflects the changes in the floral distribution on the hinterland through time as determined by fluct...
