Hydrocarbons and Mississippi Valley-type Sulfides in the Devonian reef complexes of the eastern Lennard Shelf, Canning Basin, Western Australia

Hydrocarbons and Mississippi Valley-type Sulfides in the Devonian reef complexes of the eastern Lennard Shelf, Canning Basin, Western Australia

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: M.W. Wallace, H.A. Middleton, B. Johns & S. Marshallsea
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2002

 

Abstract:

A wide range of maturation parameters indicates that near-surface Devonian sequences of the eastern Lennard Shelf are immature (peak temperatures of 70-90?C). Fluid inclusion microthermometry indicates that peak temperatures in the Palaeozoic were pr...

Down and Out in Gippsland: Using Potential Fields to Look Deeper and Wider for New Hydrocarbons

Down and Out in Gippsland: Using Potential Fields to Look Deeper and Wider for New Hydrocarbons

Publication Name: Eastern Australian Basins Symposium 2001
Authors: D.H. Moore and D. Wong
Reference Type: Magazine Article
Date Published: November 2001

 

Abstract:

Although aeromagnetic interpretations are not usual aids in detailed assessments of hydrocarbon provinces, they can provide insights into the deep structures that often control the distribution of hydrocarbons within the basin fill. This paper summar...

Aromatic Hydrocarbons as Indicators of Biodegredation in North Western Australian Reservoirs

Aromatic Hydrocarbons as Indicators of Biodegredation in North Western Australian Reservoirs

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: S. J. Fisher, R. Alexander, R. I. Kagi and G. A. Oliver
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 1998

 

Abstract:

The weathering of condensate released into intertidal coastal sediments in north Western Australia was studied by analysing sediment samples collected on eleven occasions over a three-year period. Chemical analysis of the saturated and aromatic hydro...

Publication Name: The Cooper & Eromanga Basins Australia
Authors: J.W. Hunt, R.S. Heath, and P.F. McKenzie
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: June 1989

 

Abstract:

The Permo-Triassic Cooper Basin is Australia's major onshore hydrocarbon province. Hydrocarbons discovered in the Basin to date comprise mainly gas (approximately 6 TCF recoverable) although one large oil pool, in the Tirrawarra Sandstone of the Tirr...

The Use of Aromatic Hydrocarbons for Assessment of Thermal Histories of Sediments

The Use of Aromatic Hydrocarbons for Assessment of Thermal Histories of Sediments

Publication Name: The North West Shelf Australia
Authors: R. Alexander, R.I. Kagi, E. Toh and W. van Bronswijk
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: July 1988

 

Abstract:

Palaeogeothermal gradients have been inferred for three sedimentary sequences on the North West Shelf, by detailed examination of the relative concentrations of aromatic hydrocarbons in the sediments. The procedure used is based upon laboratory-measu...

A history of the search for commercial hydrocarbons in the Otway Basin complex

Publication Name: Second South-Eastern Australia Oil Exploration Symposium - Technical Papers
Authors: R.C. Sprigg
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 1986

 

Abstract:

Botryococcus algal scums (coorongite) on sub-coastal lagoons and offshore oil seeps, resulting in the stranding of 'coastal bitumen' at not infrequent intervals along the southern Australian coasts, initiated the first oil drilling in Australia in 18...
