- Date Published: December 1984
Abstract:
In the arid dunefields which cover most of the onshore Canning Basin, the main environmentally significant aspects of petroleum exploration are tracks and drillholes. Tracks provide uncontrolled access to tourists
who may spread weeds and light fires...

Abstract:
The 430,000 sq. km onshore segment of the Phanerozoic Canning Basin lies mainly within the Great Sandy and Gibson Deserts. Reconnaissance mapping combined with subsurface data reveals that the basin contains up to 18 km of shallow marine, paralic and...

- Reference Type: Book Section
- Date Published: December 1984
Abstract:
Fission track dating of detrital apatites recovered from sediments in hydrocarbon exploration wells in the northwestern Canning Basin shows two distinct trends in apatite annealing behaviour. One trend is the normal
reduction in fission track length ...
The Application of Landsat Imagery in Structural Interpretation of the Canning Basin, W.A.
- Publication Name: The Canning Basin, W.A.
- Authors: J. Craig, J.W. Downey, A.D. Gibbs and J.R. Russell
- Reference Type: Book Section
- Date Published: December 1984
Abstract:
Detailed analysis of Landsat imagery, integrated with published geological and geophysical data has provided
a basis for a re-examination of the structural geology of the Canning Basin and adjacent areas. The Landsat interpretation provides a substan...
Pressure Responses (Deformation) in Carbonate Sediments and Rocks Analysis and Application, Canning Basin
- Publication Name: The Canning Basin, W.A.
- Authors: Brian W. Logan
- Reference Type: Book Section
- Date Published: December 1984
Abstract:
Carbonate rocks deform readily in temperature fields below 250?C and, many sequences are therefore dominated by textures, structures and rock types that are products of stress. This paper draws attention to deformational features in Canning Basin car...

- Date Published: December 1984
Abstract:
Igneous intrusions dated as Late Carboniferous to Jurassic, but believed to be Permian in age, have been
intersected by six wells in the north-west Canning Basin. Both seismic and magnetic interpretation suggest these
intrusions are common over a lar...
