L010 seismic survey of the Poole Range-Price's Creek area, WA, 1953

A seismic survey extending over the Poole Range and Price's Creek areas and the Pinnacle Fault, near the north-eastern boundary of the Fitzroy Basin was corducted during the winter of 1953.


The Poole Range Dome has been mapped in outcropping rocks of Permian age, but its western closure is not certain. It is at the south-eastern end of a line of anticlinal folding which includes the St. George Range Dome and Nerrima Dome.


The target beds for an oil test bore would be the Devonian and/or Ordovician rocks, which crop out on the north-eastern side of the Pinracle Fault, and over which the Permian rocks of the Poole Range are believed to lie unconformably.


The seismic results indicate a thick section of sediments on the south-western side of the Pinnacle Fault and show a fair degree of conformity between shallow and deep reflections on the northern flank of the dome. Further investigatioll was made in 1954 around the flanks of the dome to determine whether or not the domal structure persists at depth, but the interpretation of the results of the 1954 survey is not yet complete. The Ordovician rocks on tbe north-eastern side of the Pinnacle fault are shown to have a probable unexposed thickness of about 900 feet.

Statement

The survey described in tbis report forms part of the overall programme in the search for oil in the Fitzroy Basin in the Kimberley Division of Western Australia, which is being conducted by both the Commonwealth Government and

private companies. This survey was made during the second field season spent in that area by a seismic party of the

Bureau of Mineral Resources. The first season was spent in attempting to detail by refraction methods the deep structure underlying Nerrima Dome (Vale, Smith and Garrett, 1953), after it had been fourd impossible to record reflections over the Dome.
