L040 Surat Basin seismic reflection and refraction survey, QLD, 1960
Reflection and refraction seismic work was done in 1960 to complete a reconnaissance survey which was commenced in 1959 across the northern part of the Surat Basin. A reconnaissance line now extends in an easterly direction from 30 miles west of Surat to Jondaryan, and this line is also tied to the geologically well-known Roma area. Two good marker horizons have been established in the seismic work - one a strong reflector and the other a refractor in which the velocity averages 19,000 ft/sec and which may represent basement. A deep trough of sediments, possibly 20,000 ft thick at Meandarra, exists between Surat and Tara, and there is a large uplift west of Tara. The eastern margin of this large trough is 12 miles east of Tara, but sediments about 4000 ft thick probably continue to the east, at least as far as Jondaryan.

In 1958 a seismic party from the Bureau of Mineral Resources carried out a short experimental seismic survey in the Surat area of the Surat Basin (Morton and Robertson, 1959). More-extensive seismic reconnaissance work was done in 1959 from Surat to Tara (Lodwick and Watson, 1960). Traverses were shot using the continuous-profiling
seismic reflection method over five-mile intervals with spaces of from five to ten miles between the traverses. Near Cabawin an anticline was discovered that was of sufficient interest to warrant further investigation. This Record describes some further seismic work done in the Surat Basin by a Bureau seismic party from March to July 1960. The
work was done on both the eastern and western ends of the Surat/Tara traverse of 1959, and also between Roma and Surat.
