- Date Published: December 1984
Abstract:
EP's 205 and 252 cover a relatively unexplored area of 30,000 square kilometres in the Southern Canning Basin. To date, no wells have been drilled in either permit, subsurface data therefore being limited to reconnaissance
gravity and magnetic survey...

Possible Major Diapiric Structures in the Southern Canning and Northern Officer Basins
- 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:
The lithology of the Precambrian basement beneath much of the Canning Basin is uncertain, and can only be inferred from geophysical data. The latter suggests that a thick sequence of Precambrian sedimentary rocks exists along an approximately east-we...
Platform-Margin and Marginal-Slope Relationships in Devonian Reef Complexes of the Canning Basin (Keynote Paper)
- Publication Name: The Canning Basin, W.A.
- Authors: Phillip E. Playford
- Reference Type: Book Section
- Date Published: December 1984
Abstract:
Most Devonian reef complexes in the Canning Basin developed as high-relief reef-fringed limestone platforms,
flanked by steep marginal slopes which descended to water depths of up to several hundred metres. However, some platforms were low-relief ban...
