Mackay - Rennie, NT, 1998 (P1005), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled

The radiometric, or gamma-ray spectrometric method, measures the natural variations in the gamma-rays detected near the Earth's surface as the result of the natural radioactive decay of potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th). The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 This Mackay - Rennie, NT, 1998 (P1005), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 1998 by the NT Government, and consisted of 165347 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the data, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey data. This survey data is essentially levelled to AWAGS.

Reconnaissance Geology Of The Surat Basin Queensland And New South Wales Union Oil Development Corporation

In late 1959, Union Oil Development Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Union Oil Company of California, and the Kern County Land Company, also of California, entered into an agreement with Australian Oil and Gas Corporation Limited to conduct an exploration programme on lands of Authority to Prospect 57P, Queensland, and Petroleum Exploration Licences E2, E6, E7, and EB, New South Wales. As part of the programme, surface geological studies were made of the concessions and adjoining areas. This report is concerned primarily with this aspect of the exploration.
The surface reconnaissance was carried out intermittently from November, 1960 to October, 1961. The area reconnoitred, approximately 40,000 square miles, is bounded roughly by the towns of Rolleston and Banana in Queensland and Narrabri and Inverell in New South Wales (Fig. 1). The region is accessible by several major paved highways and a connecting network of dirt roads and stock trails. Department of the Army 1: 250 ,000 sheets were used as a base map for the work; planimetric control was by car odometer and elevation control, where required, by aneroid barometer. Field samples, both lithologic and palaeontologic, are indexed on the geological maps and are stored at the offices of Union Oil Development Corporation, Toowoomba, Queensland.

Summary Of Data And Results Great Artesian Basin, South Australia Delhi-Santos Gidgealpa No. 2 And No. 3 Wells Of Delhi Australian Petroleum Ltd And Santos Limited

Delhi-Santos Gidgealpa No. 2 Well was located in the Coopers Creek area in the far north-eastern corner of South Australia, two miles due west of Delhi-Santos Gidgealpa No. 1. The well was drilled by Drilling Contractors (Australia) Fty Ltd for Delhi Australian Petroleum Ltd and Santos Limited, to a total depth of 9020 feet. Drilling commenced on 12th December, 1963, and was completed on 10th February, 1964. A full programme of logging, testing, and coring was undertaken.
Mter passing through 618 feet of Recent and Tertiary sediments, the well penetrated 2277 feet of Upper Cretaceous, 1970 feet of Lower Cretaceous, 1681 feet of Jurassic, 124 feet of Triassic, and 182 feet of Permian. Below the regional angular unconformity at the base of the Permian at 6868 feet, a thick series of early Palaeozoic or Proterozoic tuffs and trachytic lavas was drilled to total depth. This series was in marked contrast to the Cambrian sediments found below the Permian in Gidgealpa No. 1.
Gidgealpa No. 2 was drilled primarily to test the Permian and Cambrian potential reservoir beds found in Gidgealpa No. I, in a favourable structural position. The No. 2 well was drilled high on the Gidgealpa structure, immediately after the completion of the No. 1 well which was located on the flank of the anticline. The formations encountered in Gidgealpa No. 2 down to the base of the Permian section, were found to be lithologically the same as in Gidgealpa No. I, but they are thinner, the Winton Formation, Lower Triassic, and Permian rocks markedly so.
Thirteen drillstem tests were run over intervals between 6465 and 7595 feet. Five of these tests were run in open hole and the remainder through perforations in the 7" casing. Four of the tests yielded substantial quantities of gas, and the well was completed as a shut-in gas well capable of yielding 11.6 million cubic feet of gas and 42 barrels of condensate daily, through a half-inch choke at a pressure of 2015 psi., from four Permian sandstones with a combined thickness of 61 feet. The calculated absolute open flow potential of Gidgealpa No. 2 was 29.5 million cubic feet of gas per day.
The test drilling operation at Delhi - Santos Gidgealpa No. 2 was subsidized under the Petroleum Search Subsidy Act 1959-1961, from surface to total depth.

The stratigraphy of the Mesozoic and Permian sediments of the Desert Basin, Western Australia

The Desert Basin covers an area of approximately 140,000 square miles in the Kimberley and Eastern Divisions of Western Australia. Geological investigations have been almost entirely confined to the northern part of the area; the southern part is covered by parallel sand-dunes with a few scattered outcrops and is relatively unexplored. A programme of geological mapping was initiated in the area by the Commonwealth Government in 1948. The entire area is being mapped, using aerial photographs, stratigraphic studies are made and fossils are collected for correlation purposes. The aim of the investigation is the evaluation of the petroleum prospects of the area. During the period 1948 to 1950, mapping has been carried out in Dampier Land and the area north of the Mt. Fenton Fault. The information in this paper will refer mainly to the area already mapped with brief reference to the unexplored area to the south.

SR-60191 Gravity Detailed Gravity Survey, NT (P199116), gravity point data

Gravity data measures small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 This SR-60191 Gravity Detailed Gravity Survey, NT (P199116) contains a total of 69 point data values acquired at a spacing between 20 and 40 metres. The data is located in NT and were acquired in 1991, under project No. 199116 for None.

Application of biophysical information to support Australia's representative marine protected area program

In order to protect the biological diversity of marine life in Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the commonwealth government has passed the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act.  The Act is being implemented through preparation of regional marine plans (commenced in 2001) and by designing networks of representative marine protected areas (MPAs) in both commonwealth and state waters.  In the absence of direct information about the distribution of seabed biodiversity, appropriate surrogates must be used instead.  A major constraint is the short time-frame available to managers to make decisions; only information that is readily accessible and available can be used under these circumstances.  Existing seabed bathymetry data were used to produce a geomorphic features map of the Australian EEZ.  This map was used in conjunction with existing fish diversity information and other data to derive a Benthic Bioregionalisation (2005) that subdivides Australia's EEZ into 41 bioregions including 24 biologically unique provinces.  Biophysical variables measured at broad spatial scales apart from bathymetry (and derived variables such as seabed slope) include ocean primary production, seabed sediment properties, temperature and sediment mobilisation due to waves and tides. To better characterise habitats on the Australian continental margin, Geoscience Australia has created 'seascape' maps that integrate multiple layers of spatial data that are useful for the prediction of the distribution of biodiversity.

Honeysuckle Creek tmi rtp grid geodetic

Total magnetic intensity (TMI) data measures variations in the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field caused by the contrasting content of rock-forming minerals in the Earth crust. Magnetic anomalies can be either positive (field stronger than normal) or negative (field weaker) depending on the susceptibility of the rock. The data are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
This magnetic grid has a cell size of 0.00021 degrees (approximately 21m).The data are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2001 by the VIC Government, and consisted of 14795 line-kilometres of data at 100m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance. The data has had a variable reduction to the pole applied to centre the magnetic anomaly over the magnetised body. The VRTP processing followed a differential reduction to pole calculation up to 5th order polynomial. Magnetic inclination and declination were derived from the IGRF-11 geomagnetic reference model using a data representative date and elevation representative of the survey.

AUSGeoid98 data files contain a 2 minute grid of AUSGeoid98 data covering the Australian region, which you can use to interpolate geoid-ellipsoid separations for the positions required.You can use your own interpolation software, or you can use Geoscience Australia's Windows Interpolation software (Winter). The data files are text files in a standard format that cover the same area as standard topographic map areas. Files covering both 1:250,000 (approximately 100 x 150 km) and 1:1,000,000 (approximately 400 x 600 km) map areas are available. There is a 4 minute overlap on all sides of each area. Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places. AUSGeoid98 deflections of the vertical were computed from the geoid-ellipsoid separation surface, while the AUSGeoid93 deflections of the vertical were computed from OSU91A.
