L039 Surat seismic reflection and refraction survey, QLD, 1959
In October and November 1959 a seismic party from
the Bureau of Mineral Resources carried out a seismic survey in
the Surat Basin, Queensland at the request of Australian Oil and
Gas Corporation Ltd. A traverse extending from Surat eastward
to within 10 miles of Tara was shot in five-mile sections of
continuous reflection profiling with approximately five-mile
intervals between the sections.^In addition two refraction
traverses were shot near Surat to record velocities and depths
of as many horizons as possible.
Reflections were of fair to good quality throughout
the survey and it was possible to correlate bands of reflections
from one five-mile section to the next with considerable certainty.
Over most of the traverses four reflecting horizons were followed,
and in a few places reflections were obtained from a still deeper
fifth horizon. The reflection survey revealed a wide basin between
Surat and Cabawin (about 70 miles east of Surat), with its maximum
thickness of sediments under Meandarra. The sediments there appear
to be at least 19,000 ft thick. A marked anticline was discovered
near Cabawtin.
The refraction survey, using the "Depth Probing" method,
revealed a refractor with a calculated velocity of 20,180 ft/sec
situated about 1000 ft below the fourth reflecting horizon.

- Statement
-
Following the 1958 experimental seismic survey in the Surat Basin, which has been described by Morton and Robertson (1959), the Bureau of Mineral Resources carried out further seismic work there in October and November 1959. The work was requested by Australian Oil and Gas Corporation Ltd., who hold Authority to Prospect 57P. Their
request was supported by the Department of Mines, Queensland.
