Traverse Gravity Survey SA 91A2 (P199152), 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 91A2 (P199152) contains a total of 308 point data values acquired at a spacing of 250 metres. The data is located in SA and were acquired in 1991, under project No. 199152 for None.

Summary Of Data And Results Canning Basin, Western Australia Sahara No. 1 Well Of West Australian Petroleum Pty Limited

Sahara No. 1 Well was proposed as a 10,000 - foot stratigraphic test to explore and to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of Permian and pre-Permian sediments within the gentle structural depression of the Kidson Basin, south-western Canning Basin, Western Australia, at a location approximately 300 miles east-south-east of Port Hedland. The well, located about 178 miles south-east of Samphire Mirsh No. I, was drilled by Drilling Contractors (Aust.) pty Ltd for West Australian Petroleum pty Limited to total depth of 6956 feet. Drilling commenced on 11th January, 1965 and was suspended on 26th February, 1965. A full programme of coring and logging was undertaken; no drillstem testing was conducted, as none was warranted for evaluation.
The well penetrated Recent sands from surface to 40 feet, undifferentiated Mesozoic sediments to 195 feet, which were followed by a normal Permian (Artinskian and Sakmarian) sequence, and entered the Devonian at 30':&gt;5 feet. Drilling operations were suspended at 6956 feet in an undated evaporitic section encountered at 6670 feet. This interbedded evaporite-red bed unit exhibited swelling and sloughing properties in reaction with the drilling mud, and allowed only limited and hazardous penetration during the final three weeks of operation. These circumstances forced the suspension of Sahara No. 1 short of programmed depth, with an unknown thickness of sediments remaining unpenetrated.
The Devonian and older sequence found in Sahara No. 1 had not been encountered elsewhere, and three new formations were established. Absence of microfossils prevents age assignment for the basal 3256 feet of red beds found below the upper limestone of probable Middle Devonian age.
Sahara No. I, although suspended above its programmed depth because of insurmountable drilling conditions, has contributed significant stratigraphic information, provided a comprehensive evaluation 0:1: potential hydrocarbon reservoirs which were water-saturated at this location, and established a geological tie to substantial depth for the extensive geophysical surveys which have been conducted within the region.
The stratigraphic drilling operation at Sahara No. 1 was subsidized under the Petroleum Search Subsidy Act 1959-1964, from surface to total depth.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sc57-02)

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.

Quantitative Modelling of Vulnerability to Severe Wind

Modelling of the risk posed by the impacts of extreme weather events requires knowledge of the vulnerability, or performance, of building assets. Furthermore, to assess the benefits of mitigation an ability to quantitatively model the change in vulnerability associated with mitigation actions is required. In Australia past efforts at establishing vulnerability relationships between building damage and severe wind have centred on empirical techniques, using data from damage surveys or insurance losses, and heuristic techniques. Neither of these methods permits the change in vulnerability afforded by mitigation work to be quantitatively modelled.
The Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC project “Improving the Resilience of Existing Housing to Severe Wind Events” is developing a software tool, Vulnerability and Adaption to Wind Simulation (VAWS), to provide a quantitative vulnerability model for Australian house types. It is based on the premise that overall building damage is strongly related to the failure of key connections. The software uses a Monte Carlo approach whereby numerous realisations of a single generic house type are subjected to an increasing gust wind speed and the loss at each wind speed is calculated. Each realisation of the house varies from others as many key building parameters, such as connection strength, are sampled from probability distributions.
For each instance, at each wind speed, the number and type of failed connections are related to damage states and extents of damage which permits the repair cost to be calculated. The repair cost is adjusted for the repair of debris impact damage and water ingress damage. The modelling of mitigation is easily accomplished by rerunning a house modelled with the probability distribution of an upgraded connection’s strength substituted.
The software tool provides quantitative measures of reduced vulnerability that can be used in assessing the incremental effectiveness of a range of mitigation strategies in economic terms.

Birrindudu - Tanami, NT, 1997 (P1001), magnetic line data, AWAGS levelled

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.
 These line dataset from the Tanami/Birrindudu, NT, 1997 survey were acquired in 1997 by the NT Government, and consisted of 81828 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 200m and 200m, 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.
