L121 Central Australia (Ngalia, Amadeus, Arunta Complex), NT, 1985 Stacked and migrated seismic data and images for lines BMR85-01A, BMR85-01B, BMR85-01C, BMR85-01D, BMR85-01E, BMR85-02, BMR85-03, and BMR85-04

Geoscience Australia conducted a seismic, gravity and aeromagnetic survey in Central Australia, Northern Territory from July to November, 1985. The objectives of this multidisclipinary experiment were to investigate the structural evolution of the lithosphere in the Central Australian region with emphasis on the formation of the Ngalia and Amadeus Basins, and secondly to aid in the evaluation of the petroleum prospectivity of the basins. 486 km of six-twelve fold common mid-point (CMP) seismic reflection data were collected, from four traverses.

Statement

The concept behind this survey arose from a series of ACORP (Australian COntinental Reflection Profiling) programs that were proposed by the LITSAC Committee (Lithospheric Transect Studies of the Australian Continent). These proposals are described by Moss & Goleby (1986). The Central Australian Seismic Survey was approved as part of the BMR program. The ACORP proposal involved over 1000 km of seismic profiling, lasting 8 months, and required industry to contribute half the operating cost. Unfortunately industry or state funding was not forthcoming, so the survey went ahead solely as a BMR survey.
