Abstract
Lithological and palaeontological comparisons suggest correlation between the Babbagoola Beds in Western Australia and the Observatory Hill Beds of South Australia, which are considered to be the major potential source of petroleum in the eastern Officer Basin. The presence of potential petroleum traps, such as salt domes and broad anticlines, and good potential reservoir beds, such as the Lennis Sandstone and Wanna Beds in Western Australia, is now complemented by the suggestion of a potential early Cambrian petroleum source bed. Further petroleum exploration and stratigraphic drilling are warranted.
