The Cooper and Eromanga Consolidated Data Package DVD includes Basin overviews, research and reference reports, GIS projects and the following:

Winbury Generation and Expulsion Model

The Cooper-Eromanga Basins Geohistory Modelling package presents interactive geohistory models of the regional burial, thermal and hydrocarbon maturation and expulsion history of the Cooper and Eromanga Basins in central Australia.

Cooper Basin Electro-facies Map Folio (September 2004)

Wireline logs from approximately 830 wells were analysed using in-house script known as ElectroFacies. Preset cut-off values were used to analyse the thickness and percentage of electrofacies for the following formations of the Cooper Basin sequence: Patchawarra, Epsilon, Daralingie, Toolachee and Nappamerri Formations.  A series of isolith and isopach maps, first produced in 1998 by McLean and Hill, have been further developed by X. Sun and B. Camac (2004) to include recent data and specifically correct anomalous readings. These maps have been produced for sandstone, silty or muddy sandstone, shale/siltstone and coal for the formations analysed. These are intended to provide a general guide for interpretation of Cooper Basin lithofacies distribution and palaeogeography, leading to improved prediction of reservoir, source and seal rocks.

Warburton Basin GIS Data Atlas (2001)

Rod Boucher (Linex PtyLtd) was commissioned by PIRSA using Targeted Exploration Initiative SA funding to bring together Warburton Basin research concepts and data into a comprehensive atlas.  This atlas incorporates existing petroleum databases including:
  •     relevant reports in pdf format,
  •     scanned core photographs,
  •     scanned composite logs,
  •     excerpts from scanned well completion reports,
  •     scanned seismic lines,
  •     spreadsheets of formation tops, and
  •     digital thin section images.

ArcExplorerGIS projects are also included, with subcrop maps, tectonic and magnetic interpretations, wells, petroleum shows and tenements so key data are readily accessible via GIS front ends.

The dataset aims to provide company geologists and mud loggers in an office or mud logging truck on a wellsite with sufficient information to quickly and accurately identify Warburton Basin rock units. It was compiled and developed in-house for Rod Boucher by PIRSA Petroleum Group and Publishing Services.
