Summary Of Data And Results Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia Wandagee No. 1 Well Marrilla  No. 1 Well Minderoo No. 1 Well Of West Australian Petroleum Pty Limited

Wandagee No. 1 Well was located in the Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia, approximately 84 miles north-east of Carnarvon. The well was drilled by Oil Drilling and Exploration CVV.A.) Fty Limited for West Australian Petroleum pty Limited, to a total depth of 3521 feet. Drilling commenced on 25th April, 1962 and was completed on 12th June, 1962. A full programme of logging, testing, and coring was undertaken.
The well was sited on a shallow part of the Wandagee Ridge. After drilling through 26 feet of Quaternary sand, the well penetrated 556 feet of a normal Carvarvon Basin sequence of Cretaceous sediments. The Upper Devonian Gneudna Formation was encountered at 591 feet, and this was followed from 912 feet by a section ranging in age from Silurian to possible Ordovician. The well bottomed at 3521 feet in the Tumblagooda Sandstone after drilling through 861 feet of the formation.
The primary objective of the well was to investigate the stratigraphy and oil potential of the Devonian and older rocks on a shallow part of the Wandagee Ridge. Traces of gas were observed in the marine siltstone unit at the top of the Tumblagooda Sandstone (2870 to 3098 feet), but no other hydrocarbon shows were recorded. Four drillstem tests recovered only brackish to salt water, The well was completed as a water well for Wandagee Station.
The off-structure drilling operation at Wandagee No. 1 was subsidized under the Petroleum Search Subsidy Act 1959-1961, from surface to total depth.

Investigating earthquake risk models and uncertainty in probabilistic seismic risk analyses

The EQRM is Geoscience Australia's tool for conducting probabilistic seismic hazard and risk assessments. In this report we summarise the sensitivity of EQRM risk estimates to a range of input parameters. The importance of aleatory uncertainity is explored separately for the following components of the EQRM: synthetic earthquake catalogue generation, attenuation, regolith amplification and damage modelling. Different sampling techniques are analysed for incorporating aleatory uncertainty. Event and hazard based approaches to risk estimation are compared. Finally, we demonstrate the impact of using different attenuation models on risk estimates.

TC Vance 20 years on

Severe TC Vance was one of the most intense cyclones to impact mainland Australia. The observed damage to buildings could be explained in terms of structural performance of those buildings. Combining the structural vulnerability of housing with an estimate of the maximum wind gusts, we can explore the possible impacts that a repeat of Vance would cause in Exmouth, and compare the outcomes with what occurred in 1999. The analysis of the impacts of TC Vance on present-day Exmouth shows that very few houses would be completely destroyed. Not surprisingly, older houses (pre-1980’s construction era, excluding the US Navy block houses) would dominate those destroyed, and most likely the timber-framed style houses, many of which were substantially damaged in TC Vance.

A molecular and isotopic study of palaeoenvironmental conditions through the middle Cambrian in the Georgina Basin, central Australia

The Cambrian period marks an important point in Earth's history with profound changes in the ocean's biogeochemistry and the occurrence of the most significant evolutionary event in the history of life, the Cambrian explosion. The Cambrian explosion is described as a succession of complex cycles of extinctions and radiations. This study integrates biomarkers and their compound-specific stable carbon isotopes to investigate the palaeoenvironmental depositional conditions in middle Cambrian (Series 3) sedimentary rocks (Thorntonia Limestone, Inca Formation and Currant Bush Limestone) from two drillholes in the Undilla Sub-basin in the eastern Georgina Basin, central Australia. The occurrence of photic zone euxinia (PZE) was detected throughout these three formations by the identification of green sulphur bacteria Chlorobiaceae-derived biomarkers, including a series of 2,3,6-aryl isoprenoids and the intact biomarker isorenieratane. Pulses of enhanced PZE conditions were detected in two core intervals (90110 mKB, Currant Bush Limestone and 170200 mKB, Inca Formation) by an increase in the 2,3,6-aryl isoprenoids and C19 biphenyl concentrations. These enhanced PZE conditions were followed by blooms of phytoplankton, as demonstrated by the increase in algal-derived biomarker (i.e. pristane, phytane and the C19 n-alkane) concentrations and compound-specific isotopes. These observations confirm that palaeoenvironmental conditions were similar to those reported for the Permian/Triassic and Triassic/Jurassic mass extinction events. The sterane distributions varied across the three formations reflecting possible changes in the phytoplanktonic communities through time. Although a rise in atmospheric oxygen during the Cambrian has been previously associated with the rapid evolution of metazoans, the ecological challenges related to widespread anoxia must have had a major influence on the evolution of life in Cambrian oceans.

 These line dataset from the Gairdner Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and DEM survey, SA, 2018 survey were acquired in 2018 by the SA Government, and consisted of 104788 line-kilometres of data at 200m 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.

Earthquakes Fact Sheet (Newcastle M5.4 earthquake, 30th anniversary, 4 pages)

An earthquake is the sudden release of energy and ground shaking resulting from rocks breaking and moving along a fault line under stress from plate tectonic forces. The focus is the initiation point of the earthquake deep within the Earth, while the epicentre is the vertical projection of the focus on the Earth’s surface. Earthquakes most commonly occur near the boundaries of tectonic plates, such as around the ‘Pacific Rim of Fire.’ However, they can also occur within stable tectonic regions, like Australia. It is important to remember that large earthquakes can occur anywhere in Australia, and without warning, even in regions of low levels historical seismicity.
At 10.27 am on Thursday, 28 December 1989, Newcastle was devastated by an ML 5.6 (MW 5.4) earthquake. This was one of the most significant natural disasters in Australia’s history. This flyer was prepared for the Newcastle Museum to mark the 30th anniversary of this disaster.
