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.

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...
Igneous Intrusions in the North-West Canning Basin and their Impact on Oil Exploration
- Publication Name: The Canning Basin, W.A.
- Authors: S.A. Reeckmann and A.J. Mebberson
- Reference Type: Book Section
- 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...
The Seismic Definition of the Main Structural Elements of the Canning Basin
- Publication Name: The Canning Basin, W.A.
- Authors: P.G. Purcell and J. Poll
- Reference Type: Book Section
- Date Published: December 1984
Abstract:
Selected seismic sections show some of the main tectonic elements and provinces of the Canning Basin, clearly revealing the structural complexity and diversity in the basin. In the north, the deep Fitzroy /Gregory graben is bounded by major listric f...
The Stratigraphy, Palaeogeography and Petroleum Potential of the Lower to lower Upper Devonian Sequence in the Canning Basin
- Publication Name: The Canning Basin, W.A.
- Authors: P.R. Lehmann
- Reference Type: Book Section
- Date Published: December 1984
Abstract:
Devonian reefs provided much of the early incentive to Canning Basin explorers. Extensive studies of the Devonian Reef Complex in outcrop, related by analogy to the very productive time equivalent reefs in Canada produced great expectations for the r...
Evidence for Post-Permian Epeirogenic Uplift in the Canning Basin from Vitrinite Reflectance Data

- Authors: E.L. Horstman
- Reference Type: Book Section
- Date Published: December 1984
Abstract:
Vitrinite reflectance data can be used to determine the original depth of burial in an uplifted and exhumed section. With sufficient density of well data, a projection. of the existing vitrinite reflectance data to an original,
now eroded, surface ca...
