An Appraisal of Petroleum Exploration Title Areas - Offshore and Central Queensland May 1974

This record is the result of a brief examination of data relevant to the titles areas. All available data have been used in its preparation, including confidential company reports, but no original interpretation has been made.
Summaries are given of the regional geology, hydrocarbon potential, geophysical activity and drilling results. Assessments have been made of the prospectivity of the title areas, and recommendations are made for further exploration.
Because of the moratorium on exploration on the Great Barrier Reef, only scientific surveys have been carried out since 1969 and no wells have been drilled.
Aeromagnetic. and the small amount of reconnaissance seismic work carried out prior to the moratorium indicate the continental shelf is covered by a thin veneer of sediments with several ill-defined basinal depressions. These sediments are generally thought to be of Tertiary and Mesozoic age. Prospects for hydrocarbon accumulations within the existing title areas are rated as low.
An area in the southeastern part of the Gulf of Papua outside the present title areas is considered to have the best prospects.

High-resolution depth model for the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea - 100 m

This dataset contains bathymetry products from the compilation of all available source bathymetry data within the Great Barrier Reef into a 100 m-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and Coral Sea is the largest coral reef ecosystem on Earth and stretches over 2500 km along the north-eastern Australia margin. Bathymetry mapping of this extensive reef system is vital for the protection of the GBR allowing for the safe navigation of shipping and improved environmental management. Over past ten years, deep-water multibeam surveys have revealed the highly complex shelf-edge drowned reefs and continental slope canyons. Airborne LiDAR bathymetry acquired by the Australian Hydrographic Office cover most of the GBR reefs, with coverage gaps supplemented by satellite derived bathymetry. The Geoscience Australia-developed Intertidal Elevation Model DEM improves the source data gap along Australia’s vast intertidal zone. All source bathymetry data were extensively edited as point clouds to remove noise, given a consistent WGS84 horizontal datum, and where possible, an approximate MSL vertical datum.This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.

The Levelled Geochemical Baseline of Australia

National- and regional-scale surface geochemistry data can provide valuable information about mineral prospectivity and geology of a country or region, and allow for informed decision-making around environmental management. Whilst a number of regional geochemistry surveys of varying heritage exist across Australia, they currently stand as individual surveys with limited ability to utilise with other surveys. To increase our understanding of the surface of Australia and aid in determining areas of mineral prospectivity, a decision was made to level each of these individual surveys and thus create a unified levelled geochemical baseline of Australia.

Levelling of regional surveys can remove the analytically-introduced variation; however, the majority of the survey areas are spatially isolated from one another. Fortunately, Australia has a national-scale survey, the National Geochemical Survey of Australia (NGSA), which acts as a backbone interlinking each of the higher density regional surveys. A pilot project released in 2020, utilised this approach to create a levelled geochemical baseline for the northern Australia. The pilot project highlighted several limitations, particularly the small number of chemical elements analysed for in historical regional surveys. Another limitation was the common absence of analytical data for reference materials meaning the accuracy and/or precision of these surveys is unknown.

To address these shortcomings ~9,000 samples from historical regional surveys from around Australia were reanalysed by one laboratory using modern analytical techniques to produce a comprehensive suite of analytes. The results for these surveys were then levelled with recent regional geochemistry surveys (e.g., southern Thomson regional geochemistry survey, Northern Australia Geochemical Survey) and the NGSA, to produce a national geochemical baseline to which future geochemical surveys can be added.

Initial examination of this new levelled Australia-wide dataset has identified new areas of interest for rare earth element enrichment. These areas of interest were not present in the original dataset due to the limitations of the original analytical techniques. The new data allows for examination of the mechanisms and source of these areas of enrichment. These initial findings demonstrate the power of bringing Australia’s historic archive of samples up to modern standards, and the utility of levelling them to create a seamless product.

Geochemical Compositions of Natural Gases from the Well Dorado 1, Roebuck Basin, Australia

The Roebuck Basin on Australia’s offshore north-western margin is the focus of a regional hydrocarbon prospectivity assessment being undertaken by the Offshore Energy Systems Section. This offshore program is designed to produce pre-competitive information to assist with the evaluation of the hydrocarbon resource potential of the central North West Shelf and attract exploration investment to Australia. As part of this program, molecular and isotopic analyses were undertaken by Geoscience Australia on gas samples from the well Dorado 1 and the raw data from these analyses are released in this report.

Traverse Gravity Survey SA 94E1 (P199452), 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 Traverse Gravity Survey SA 94E1 (P199452) contains a total of 654 point data values acquired at a spacing of 250 metres. The data is located in SA and were acquired in 1994, under project No. 199452 for None.

A A O Combarngo No 1, Queensland Of Associated Australian Oilfields NL

A.A.O. Combarngo No. 1 Well was drilled by Associated Australian Oilfields N.L. on a broad seismic "high" at Combarngo, approximately 30 miles south-east of Roma, Queensland. Drilling was commenced on 5th May, 1961, and was completed on 10th June, 1961, at a total depth of 5985 feet. The drilling contractor was Mines Administration Pty Limited, and the rig used was a National Ideal 55. A full programme of logging, testing, and coring was undertaken.
The well penetrated Mesozoic sediments to 5315 feet, Permian sediments from 5315 to 5628 feet, and a volcanic section of unknown age from 5628 feet to total depth. Significant, though small, quantities of a high gravity oil were produced with saline water from the basal Mesozoic sands. Four barrels of 52 degree API gravity oil were recovered in a drill stem test on the Showground Sandstone. Five formation tests were run, the results of which are summarized in Appendix 7.
After testing, the well was plugged and abandoned; it was subsequently developed as a water bore producing from the Blythesdale Formation.

Tennant Creek dose rate grid geodetic

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. The terrestrial dose rate grid is derived as a linear combination of the filtered K, U and Th grids. A low pass filter is applied to this grid to generate the filtered terrestrial dose rate grid.
This Tennant Creek dose rate grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00042 degrees (approximately 45m) and shows the terrestrial dose rate of the Tennant Creek, NT, 1998. The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1998 by the NT Government, and consisted of 98200 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.
