Abstract:

More than 900 km of seismic data were recorded in the Neoproterozoic- Devonian Officer Basin in 1993. The surveys, recorded in the dune-covered Great Victorian Desert in South Australia comprise 550 km of 6-fold dynamite acquired as part of the National Geoscience Mapping Accord (NGMA) by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation and 378 km of 120-fold vibroseis acquired for Mines and Energy South Australia as part of the South
Australian Exploration Initiative (SAEI). The NGMA transect, in two parts, was the first in the barely explored central and southern Officer Basin. The SAEI grid linked seismic acquired in the mid-1980s by Comalco and Amoco in the eastern Officer Basin. A further 140 km of Comalco seismic data (mainly weight drop) were reprocessed to the same standard.
