Abstract
<p>Geoscience Australia conducted a seismic survey in the Central Eromanga Basin in Queensland in 1980. This survey was part of a new multidisciplinary study to investigate the structure, stratigraphy, geological and tectonic evolution, and petroleum potential of the area. The survey obtained 478 km of six-fold Common-Depth-Point seismic reflection data, mostly along four long east-west traverses crossing sparsely investigated sedimentary basins between exploration wells. The basins crossed included the Warrabin Trough, Cooper Basin, and Eromanga Basin west of the Canaway Fault.<p><b>Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCat# 74972</b>

Lineage
The Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics (BMR)conducted a seismic survey of the Eromanga, Cooper, and underlying pre-Permian Basins west of the Canaway Fault in Queensland from July to November 1980. The seismic survey was part of the regional multidisciplinary geoscientific research project on the "Central Eromanga Basin" (Harrison and others, 1980), the geology of which is discussed in detail^by Senior & others (1978). The project aims are to gain knowledge of the structure, stratigraphy and lithology of the Eromanga and underlying sedimentary basins in order to study the geology and tectonic evolution of the area, and to generally provide basic information to assist in the exploration of the area for petroleum. The objectives of the 1980 BMR seismic survey (Pinchin, 1980) were to use multiple-coverage CDP seismic techniques to provide high quality seismic sections along long traverses across the main structural elements in the area, to provide a suitable basis for a regional interpretation of the area, and for correlation between existing exploration wells.
