A representation of the location and key attributes of all drillholes within South Australia. Drillholes contained within the dataset may be currently active or historic and may have been drilled for a wide variety of purposes such as water extraction, monitoring or geologic exploration. This dataset is a spatial representation of the authoritative SAGEODATA database and is created through a series of nightly automated geoprocessing scripts.

The South Australian Resources Information Gateway (SARIG) open data and product catalog uses the metadata profile of ISO19115 and allows you to discover and query metadata, including links to associated resources such as web services, maps, publications or data downloads.

This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units and input data for the assessment of the Eromanga Basin Province, Australia, Cooper Basin Continuous Assessment Unit Boundaries. The Assessment Unit is the fundamental unit used in the National Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources. The Assessment Unit is defined within the context of the higher-level Total Petroleum System. The Assessment Unit is shown herein as a geographic boundary interpreted, defined, and mapped by the geologist responsible for the province and incorporates a set of known or postulated oil and (or) gas accumulations sharing similar geologic, geographic, and temporal properties within the Total Petroleum System, such as source rock, timing, migration pathways, trapping mechanism, and hydrocarbon type. The Assessment Unit boundary is defined geologically as the limits of the geologic elements that define the Assessment Unit, such as limits of reservoir rock, geologic structures, source rock, and seal lithologies. This data release also contains input data forms. The input data is formatted in a human-readable format used during assessment meetings and is included. Documentation for these csv files is included (Input Forms Column Descriptions.xlsx). Methodology of assessments are documented in USGS Data Series 547 for continuous assessments (https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/547) and USGS DDS69-D, Chapter 21 for conventional assessments (https://pubs.usgs.gov/dds/dds-069/dds-069-d/REPORTS/69_D_CH_21.pdf).

Mount Salt No. 1 Well was located approximately twelve miles south-west of Mount Gambier in the South Australian part of the Otway Basin. The well was drilled by Reading and Bates (Australia) Pty Ltd for Oil Development No Liability, to a total depth of 10,044 feet. DrillIng commenced on 9th May, 1962 and was completed on 21st September, 1962. A full programme of logging, testing, and coring was undertaken. After passing through about 3260 feet of Oligocene and Eocene-Palaeocene sediments, the well entered a thick sequence of Upper Cretaceous sands, siltstones and clays that persisted to total depth. The upper part of this section has been correlated with the (?) Paaratte Formation, and the well bottomed in either basal Upper Cretaceous or uppermost Lower Cretaceous marine or brackish strata that probably correlate with either the top of the Waarre Formation or the Flaxmans Beds of Flaxmans No. 1 Well. The base of the Upper Cretaceous is not clearly defined, and no definite conclusions as to the correlation of the section below the Knight Group (? 590 to? 3260 feet) have been advanced. Mount Salt No. 1 Well was drilled to test the petroleum potential of Cretaceous sediments in a closed structure detected by photogeology and proved by a structure drilling programme. Traces of crude oil were detected by core analysis and a show of gas was recorded from the interval 9830 to 9848 feet. Five drillstem tests were attempted but only one, over the interval 9813 to 9892 feet, was successful, obtaining 4070 feet of highly saline water. The stratigraphic drilling operation at Mount Salt No. 1 was subsidized under the Petroleum Search Subsidy Act 1959-1961, from 980 feet to total depth.

Delhi-Santos Gidgealpa No. 1 Well was drilled in the north-eastern corner of South Australia by Delhi Australian Petroleum Ltd, as operator, and Santos Limited. The well is 60 miles south-west of Innamincka No. 1 and 50 miles west-north-west of Dullingari No. 1. Gidgealpa No. 1 was spudded on 28th August, 1963, reached a total depth of 13,114 feet on 27th November, 1963, and was completed as a water well flowing from the Mooga Sandstone on 6th December, 1963. A National 80-B rig, owned and operated by Drilling Contractors (Australia) Pty Ltd, was used to drill the well. Gidgealpa No. 1 was drilled as an off-structure well on the flank of a prominent closed anticline. The Mesozoic sequence was the thickest yet encountered in wells in the western part of the Great Artesian Basin, and very similar to that found in Innamincka No. 1. The overall lithology of the Permian in Gidgealpa No. 1 resembles that in Dullingari No. 1 although detailed correlation is not possible. Below the regional angular unconformity at the base of the Permian, a thick sequence of Cambrian marine carbonates and tuffaceous sediments was penetrated. This was the first encounter of Cambrian rocks in the subsurface of the Great Artesian Basin. More hydrocarbon shows were encountered in the Permian sequence in this well than in any other drilled to date in this region. Unfortunately the sandstones exhibited very low porosity. A deep zone of porous dolomite, some 400 feet thick, was also discovered in the Middle Cambrian, and on test, flowed very gassy saltwater. Thus Delhi-Santos Gidgealpa No. I, in addition to providing much new geological information, gave most encouraging indications that, under favourable conditions, the Permian and the newly discovered Middle Cambrian dolomite could produce hydrocarbons. The off-structure drilling operation at Delhi-Santos Gidgealpa No. 1 was subsidized under the Petroleum Search Subsidy Act 1959-1961, from surface to total depth.
