Abstract
<div>Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future (EFTF) program is a multi-year Australian Government initiative, led by Geoscience Australia in partnership with State and Territory governments. The EFTF program provides precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources. By gathering, analysing and interpreting new and existing precompetitive geoscience data and information, we are building a national picture of Australia’s geology and resource potential. This leads to a strong economy, resilient society and sustainable environment for the benefit of all Australians. This includes supporting Australia’s transition to a low emissions economy, strong resources and agriculture sectors, and economic opportunities and social benefits for Australia’s regional and remote communities. The EFTF program, which commenced in 2016, is an eight year, $225 million investment by the Australian Government.</div><div><br></div><div>This report presents the results of Grains with Oil Inclusions (GOI™) and Frequency of Oil Inclusions (FOI™) on rock samples from three selected drill holes across the Birrindudu Basin. Forty-five samples were obtained from drill holes WLMB001B, ANT003 and 99VRNTGSDD1. GOI™ and FOI™ was conducted on sedimentary and carbonate vein lithologies to investigate the potential presence of oil inclusions. Oil inclusions were recorded in samples taken from drill holes WLMB001B and ANT003, but not 99VRNTGSDD1. Analysis was undertaken by CSIRO under contract to Geoscience Australia.</div>
