Distribution and Hydrocarbon Potential of the Permian Nowra Sandstone, Southern Sydney Basin, New South Wales, Australia

Distribution and Hydrocarbon Potential of the Permian Nowra Sandstone, Southern Sydney Basin, New South Wales, Australia

Publication Name: Eastern Australian Basins Symposium 2001
Authors: P.A. Arditto
Reference Type: Magazine Article
Date Published: November 2001

 

Abstract:

The Permian Nowra Sandstone, a widespread nearshore marine sandstone unit, was a common target in the deeper hydrocarbon tests of the southern and central Sydney Basin between 1960 and 1970, but its hydrocarbon potential is now largely overlooked. Th...

Character, Maturity and Distribution of Potential Cretaceous Oil Source Rocks in the Ceduna Sub-Basin, Bight Basin, Great Australian Bight

Character, Maturity and Distribution of Potential Cretaceous Oil Source Rocks in the Ceduna Sub-Basin, Bight Basin, Great Australian Bight

Publication Name: Eastern Australian Basins Symposium 2001
Authors: H.I.M. Struckmeyer, J.M. Totterdell, J.E. Blevin, G.A. Logan, C.J. Boreham, I. Deighton, A.A. Krassay and M.T. Bradshaw
Reference Type: Magazine Article
Date Published: November 2001

 

Abstract:

The Ceduna Sub-basin of the Bight Basin is a frontier region containing only one petroleum exploration well. Therefore, our assessment of the distribution of potential source rocks in the area is based on an understanding of the regional sequence str...

Advances in the understanding of Upper Permian Reservoir Distribution and Quality, North Perth Basin

Advances in the understanding of Upper Permian Reservoir Distribution and Quality, North Perth Basin

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: N.P. Tupper, S.E. Phillips and B.P.J. Williams
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: July 1994

 

Abstract:

A detailed evaluation of the Upper Permian sequence in the north Perth Basin has resulted in a better understanding of reservoir distribution and quality. Biostratigraphy, sedimentology, petrology and log analysis have been combined to explain reserv...

Possible stratigrphic controls on hydrocarbon distribution within the Jurassic – Early Cretaceous rocks, Eromanga Basin, southern Queenland

Publication Name: The Cooper & Eromanga Basins Australia
Authors: P.M. Green, T.J. Brain and B.H. John
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: June 1989

 

Abstract:

Results of detailed wire-line log correlations have enabled a uniform stratigraphic framework for the Jurassic-Early Cretaceous sequence in the Eromanga Basin in southern Queensland to be established. The broad regional pattern of basin development w...
