Layer 05 Great Artesian Basin base of Hooray Sandstone and equivalents surface  

Authors / CoAuthors

Abstract

Layer 05 Base of Hooray Sandstone and equivalents surface Surface produced for the Great Artesian Water Resource Assessment (GABWRA) by Geoscience Australia (http://www.ga.gov.au). This surface was created for 3D visualisation of the Hooray Sandstone and Equivalents. The surface is available in the following formats 1. GOCAD surface (.ts) 2. ESRI grid 3. ASCII grid (.grd) Use limitations: 1. GOCAD surface requires program capable of reading GOCAD *.ts (triangulated surface) files 2. ASCII grid data requires re-interpolation by end-user resulting in minor differences to accompanying GOCAD *.ts surface This layer is part of a set comprised of: Layer 01 3-second Digital Elevation Model surface (catalogue #75990) Layer 02 Base of Cenozoic surface (catalogue #75991) Layer 03 Base of Mackunda Formation and equivalents surface (catalogue #76021) Layer 04 Base of Rolling Downs Group surface (catalogue #76022) Layer 05 Base of Hooray Sandstone and equivalents surface (catalogue #76023) Layer 06 Base of Injune Creek Group surface (catalogue #76024) Layer 07 Base of Hutton Sandstone surface (catalogue #76025) Layer 05-07 Base of Algebuckina Sandstone surface (catalogue #76952) Layer 08A Base of Evergreen and Marburg formations (catalogue #76026) Layer 08B Base of Poolowanna Formation (catalogue #76953) Layer 09 Base of Precipice Sandstone and equivalents surface (catalogue #76027) Layer 10 Base of Jurassic-Cretaceous sequence surface (catalogue #76028) This dataset and associated metadata can be obtained from www.ga.gov.au, using catalogue number 76023.

SOURCE DATA: Stratigraphic well picks were sourced from PEPS-SA (South Australian Department for Manufacturing, Innovation, Trade, Resources & Energy, 2011) and QPED (Geological Survey of Queensland, 2010) and GABLOG (Habermehl 2001) databases. Previous interpretations of Base Hooray came from DERM (2005). Top of Westbourne contours came from Senior and associates (1997). In the offshore Carpentaria Basin, the western extent of the equivalent of the Hooray sandstone was taken from McConachie and Stainton 1994. BOUNDARIES: The layer boundary was modified from Habermehl and Lau (1997)/Welsh (2000).
