Following a request by the Premier of South Australia an inspection of the Leigh Creek Coalfield was made on December 5th to December 8th, 1941. My opinion was sought chiefly on the probability of there being a considerable tonnage of coal available which could be won by open cut mining, preferably from one section of the field, near Telford Siding.

The Cooper Basin is a late Carboniferous-Middle Triassic intracratonic basin in northeastern South Australia and southwestern Queensland. The basin is one of Australia's premier onshore hydrocarbon producing provinces and, by providing domestic gas for the East Coast Gas Market, is nationally significant. This study reviews the distribution, quality and maturity of source rocks across the Cooper Basin and forms part of Geoscience Australia's source rock program. All publicly-available total organic carbon (TOC) content and Rock-Eval pyrolysis data for the Cooper Basin were compiled into a single database, quality checked and compiled by well and formation to highlight the multiple viable source rock units throughout the Permian. The Toolachee and Patchawarra formations represent the principal source rocks in the basin. These comprise coals and carbonaceous shales deposited in fluvial deltaic and peat swamp environments and show good to very good oil and gas source potential. Additional source intervals include the gas prone lacustrine Roseneath and Murteree shales, as well as coals and carbonaceous shales of the Daralingie and Epsilon formations. Permian source rock distribution was investigated using lithofacies mapping combined with geochemistry data. Lithofacies maps published for South Australia were integrated with electrofacies data from Queensland to produce new, internally consistent, net source thickness maps for key intervals, including coals and carbonaceous shales of the Toolachee and Patchawarra formations, and the Roseneath and Murteree shales. Pyrolysis data that indicate the presence of an in-situ source rock with remaining hydrocarbon generation potential (i.e. TOC > 2% and S1+S2 > 3 mg hydrocarbons/g rock) were mapped by formation, demonstrating the broad extent of Permian source rocks across the basin. Toolachee and Patchawarra source rocks are present in most major depocentres, including the Windorah Trough and Ullenbury Depression in the northern part of the basin, where maximum coal thicknesses still reach more than 10 m. Source rocks within the Roseneath and Murteree shale are generally restricted to the southern Cooper Basin.

The Coorabin coalfield bore and shaft sites are listed. A short description is given of each site.

AVO compliant reprocessing of 3 lines from the Remus 2D seismic survey covering the 2007 Acreage Release Areas W07-19 and W07-21

Oil and Gas field locations of Australia. Removed as an online resource 10/08/2017 on request from Tom Bernecker

This dataset contains the 31 areas released as the 2013 Offshore Petroleum Acreage Release

Promotional flyer comprising map showing petroleum exploration permits and current and proposed gazettal areas for acreage release. map is supplemented by short information (text) about geological aspects of release areas and summeries of Austrlaia's oil and gas production levels.

The annual Good Oil conference is a valuable evnue for the promtion of the open acreage for offshore petroleum exploration and the showcasing of GA's innovative work in petroleum geoscience.

Regular release of offshore acreage, part of the Australian Government strategy to encourage investment in petroleum exploration.

The Gas processing facilities of Australia dataset is a combination of a digital dataset acquired from Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) and an extensive web search. The dataset is maintained on an ongoing basis, with source material acquired from company websites and state/territory agencies. Each processing unit has information containing the following attributes; NAME, PROJECT, LOCATION, STATE, PRODUCT, STATUS, COMMISSION, OWNER, OPERATOR, PROD_TJPD, MAX_TJPD, COMMENT, SOURCE1, SOURCE2, SOURCE3. This dataset has been developed in conjunction with a number of related datasets including gas storage, liquid processing, gas pipelines and offshore production platforms. This dataset was designed to combine Geosciences' Gas processing dataset with up to date information from the internet.
