Abstract
B.M.R. Maclean No. 1 was a fully cored stratigraphic hole drilled on the eastern margin of the Clarence-Moreton Basin near Evans Head. It reached a total depth of 664.8 m and intersected 590.05 m of Marburg Formation overlying 74.75 m of Ripley Road Sandstone. The lower 42.60 m of the Marburg Formation correlates with the Calamia Member recognised by Etheridge & others (1985). The sequence is mostly multistorey fluvial channel sandstone with only a small proportion of fine grained facies so that potential hydrocarbon source rocks are rare. Porous sandstone is also rare, though parts of the Calamia Member and the Ripley Road Sandstone may be porous and permeable.
