Abstract
Mimosa 1 well was drilled by West Australian Petroleum Pty Ltd (WAPET) to a total depth of 4117 m. The well was sited about 113 km southeast of Derby, and 32 km south of WAPET Blackstone 1. From the well completion report (Osborne & O'Shaughnessy, 1973) Mimosa 1 was drilled to evaluate the reservoir potential of a predicted Middle to Late Devonian carbonate bank (Pillara Formation) below a suspected unconformity marked by a deep seismic reflector at 2743 m. It was concluded from the drilling results that the predicted unconformity was penetrated at 2376 m, the sequence below this depth consisted of basinal shales, silts and sands of Frasnian age, and the Pillara objective was not reached. New palaeontological evidence presented here requires a major revision of this interpretation.
