Towards the end of 1950, the deep bore which the Shell (Queenshnd) Development Company was driling to test for oil on the Morella structure, 35 miles south of Rolleston, entered andesite at approximately 4000 ft. After boring about 200 ft into the andesite, the Company decided to abandon the hole. A new site for a test bore was selected on the Comet anticlinal structure, 60 miles north of Rolleston. Before procoeding with this new test , evidence was need to ensure that neither a shallow basement nor volcanic rocks existed under this structure. The Bureau was therefore asked to shoot a refraction traverse over the anticline, in ordor to determine if basement rocks were likely to be present at a shallow depth. As a result the Bureau of Mineral Resources conducted a seismic refraction survey during February 6th and March 5th, 1951.
