Structural setting
The Eromanga Basin covers 1 000 000 km2 of central–eastern Australia, 360 000 km
2 of which lie in South
Australia. The Eromanga Basin encloses the multi-aquifer system of the Great Artesian Basin.
In South Australia, the Eromanga Basin overlies late Palaeozoic and older basins. It consists of a broaddownwarp with two main depocentres — the Poolowanna Trough and the Cooper region — containing up to
3000 m of sediment (Figs 1, 2). The central Eromanga Basin is overlain by the Tertiary to Recent Lake Eyre
Basin. Eromanga Basin units crop out extensively on the western and southern margins.
Structurally, the Eromanga Basin is divided into two by the NE-trending Birdsville Track Ridge, a complex of
related domes and ridges. The Poolowanna Trough in the NW contains a thick sand-dominated sequence in
comparison to the Cooper region where intercalated shale and siltstone units occur.
Exploration history
Petroleum exploration commenced in the 1950s when licences covering the Cooper and Eromanga basins
were first acquired by Santos, who went against conventional wisdom that commercial accumulations of oil
would not be found in Mesozoic formations within the Great Artesian Basin.
Initial exploration involved surface mapping, stratigraphic drilling, aerial surveys, gravity and aeromagnetic
surveys and seismic. The first petroleum well was drilled in 1959 and Cooper Basin gas was discovered in
1963.
The first commercial hydrocarbon to flow from the Eromanga Basin was gas produced from Namur 1 in 1976
(Cooper region). Oil was discovered in 1977 with an uneconomic flow from Poolowanna 1 in the Poolowanna
Trough. The first economic oil flow was recorded from Strzelecki 3 (Cooper region) in the following year and
this stimulated a major oil exploration program.
Since 1959 over 1980 wells have penetrated the Eromanga Basin sequence and over 100 000 km of seismic
has been acquired (Fig. 1). Exploration has concentrated in the Cooper region. A new phase of exploration
for oil in the Eromanga Basin commenced in 2002 in the 27 new licences resulting from the expiry of PELs 5
and 6 in 1999. Most new entrant explorers are currently targeting Eromanga Basin oil plays.

Eromanga Basin
In the Poolowanna Trough, the Poolowanna Formation (up to 130 m thick) is overlain by a thick sand-
dominated unit (Algebuckina Sandstone). West of the northern Birdsville Track Ridge, Birkhead and Murta
Formation shales pinch out into Algebuckina Sandstone. Algebuckina Sandstone crops out on the western
and southern basin margin.
The non-marine sequence is succeeded conformably by a sequence reflecting transition from non-marine to
marginal marine to open marine shale and sandstone. The basal unit, Cadna-owie Formation, is of
significance for petroleum exploration as the top of the unit approximates a distinctive seismic reflector — the
C horizon mappable over the entire basin (Fig. 3). PIRSA has compiled a basin-wide C horizon data set from
company seismic maps (Fig. 5). The C horizon mapping now extends into Queensland, Northern Territory
and New South Wales as a result of the National Geoscience Mapping Accord Cooper and Eromanga Basinproject.
The upper non-marine sequence (Winton Formation) was rapidly deposited — up to 1100 m over ~8 million
years. A period of erosion in the Late Cretaceous, caused by a switch in drainage from the Cooper region to
the Ceduna Depocentre on the rifted southern margin, was followed by deposition of the non-marine
Cainozoic Lake Eyre Basin.
Source rocks
Vertical migration of oil from Permian (Cooper Basin) source rocks has been widely accepted as the principal
source of most Eromanga-reservoired oil (in the Cooper region). Both Cooper and Eromanga mature source
rocks have contributed to oil accumulations in the region, however each oil accumulation needs to be
considered on its merits with respect to the extent of mixing from Permian and Mesozoic sources. The
Poolowanna and Birkhead formations contain organic-rich shales that are oil-prone and in places at peak
maturity for oil generation. Lateral migration from these source areas has also been postulated.
Elsewhere in the basin, the presence of thick Poolowanna, Birkhead and Murta formations is critical to
evaluation of oil source potential. The marine sequence and upper non-marine sequence are immature for
hydrocarbon generation over much of the basin. The underlying Simpson and Pedirka basins also contain
mature source rocks and are well placed to charge Eromanga Basin reservoirs.
Reservoirs
Principal reservoirs in the Cooper region are the braided fluvial Hutton and Namur sandstones (porosities upto 25%, permeability up to 2500 mD). Oil is also reservoired in meandering fluvial (Poolowanna and Birkhead
formations), lacustrine shoreface (McKinlay Member) and lacustrine turbidite (Murta Formation) sandstones.
Detailed petrophysical data is available from PIRSA for all of these Eromanga Basin reservoirs. A schematic
section showing typical petroleum traps of the Eromanga Basin is shown in Figure 6.

Eromanga Basin
Trapping mechanisms within the Eromanga Basin are dominantly structural (anticlines with four-way dip
closure or drapes over pre-existing highs) with a stratigraphic component (e.g. Hutton–Birkhead transition,
Poolowanna, McKinlay Member and Murta Formation). Eromanga structures in South Australia are rarely
filled to spill with oil — net oil columns are relatively thin compared to the height under closure (due to poorsealing characteristics).
Seals consist of intraformational diagenetic sandstones, siltstones and shales of the Poolowanna, Birkhead
and Murta formations in the Cooper region. In the Poolowanna Trough, they consist of intraformational
siltstone and shale in the Poolowanna Formation and siltstone of the Cadna-owie Formation. Elsewhere in
the basin, potential seals include the Cadna-owie Formation and Bulldog Shale – Wallumbilla Formation).
Undiscovered resources
As the Eromanga Basin is clearly oil-prone, only undiscovered oil resources are calculated, however gas
discoveries are known from the Cooper region. The gas in these fields has been sourced from the underlying
Permo-Carboniferous Cooper Basin. In the western Eromanga Basin, gas discoveries are possible,
particularly in areas overlying the older infrabasins (Pedirka and Simpson basins), but it is unlikely that small
gas discoveries in this area would be economic.
Petroleum exploration in the Eromanga Basin in South Australia has traditionally concentrated in the portion
underlain by the highly productive Cooper Basin, a relatively mature area. In addition, there is the likelihood
that a significant amount of the oil found in this area has been sourced from the underlying Cooper Basin.
For these reasons, undiscovered oil resources in this area are best estimated using methods that extrapolate
discovery trends.
Areas to the west have had minimal exploration effort, with only one sub-economic discovery. Oil found here
will probably be sourced from the Poolowanna and Birkhead formations or the underlying Pedirka andSimpson basins. Estimates of undiscovered resources in the western Eromanga are best carried out by a
method that uses available geological data and Monte Carlo type statistical techniques to calculate, as a
probability distribution, the undiscovered resources for each play.
Western Eromanga Basin
For a commercial petroleum field to exist in the western Eromanga Basin, four essential components are
required: a mature ‘source’, a ‘reservoir’ horizon, a ‘seal’ horizon and a structure over the reservoir horizonthat will concentrate the petroleum in economic quantities and that was present at the time of the petroleum
expulsion from the source rock. Usually this is an anticline, but stratigraphic traps can also be important.
When all four of these occur together, a petroleum ‘play’ or a potential target for exploration exists.
Maps for each play, taking into account distribution of source, seal and reservoir were constructed. Figure 7

Current projects
A new project to evaluate the coal seam methane potential of the Cooper and Eromanga Basins commenced
in April 2009.
Exploration access
Several National Parks and Wildlife reserves overlie the Eromanga Basin . Exploration is permitted in the
Simpson Desert Regional Reserve, the Innamincka Regional Reserve, the Witjira National Park, Tallaringa
Conservation Park and the Lake Eyre National Park. Exploration is not permitted in the Coongie Lakes
National Park, the Simpson Desert Conservation Park or the No-Go Special Management Zone of the
Innamincka Regional Reserve (Fig. 1).
The initial 2001 right to negotiate (RTN) agreements in the Cooper Basin for the CO-98 PEL application
areas were groundbreaking in Australia as the first conjunctive agreements (covering exploration andproduction) that provide certainty in enabling any explorer, the Aboriginal parties, and the state being able to
benefit from any commercial discoveries made.
The state has also commenced the RTN process for additional PELs in the Eromanga and Arrowie basins
and it is likely that existing RTN agreements will continue to form a practical precedent. Any agreements will
provide for protection of the heritage and cultural interests of the Aboriginal parties.
Compulsory relinquishment of roughly 36% (19 150 km2) of the areas in current Cooper region PELs will
precede competitive bidding from 2009. In anticipation of the calling for work program bids in 2009,
negotiations opened in 2006 to develop a conjunctive Indigenous land access agreement (ILUA) for the
regions already covered with land access agreements resulting from earlier RTN proceedings. These
negotiations involve the Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement, the three native title parties already familiar with
8/11/2019 prospectivity_eromanga
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/prospectivityeromanga 6/16
Eromanga Basin
The first conjunctive ILUA in Australia in a proven petroleum province was concluded in February 2007 with
the Yandruwandha–Yawarrawarrka native title claimants over a major portion of the South Australian Cooper
Basin This will provide greater certainty and expedite the grant of PELs in a way that remains fair to native
title claimants and sustainable in relation to exploration and production investment. The application ofconjunctive ILUAs will enable land access more quickly and with lower transaction costs than serial RTN
proceedings. The successful implementation of conjunctive ILUAs for Cooper Basin petroleum exploration
and production will serve as a model for analogous agreements elsewhere in the state.
Negotiations in respect to formalising conjunctive petroleum ILUAs with the remaining two native title
claimant parties in the Cooper Basin are progressing.
In summary, conjunctive ILUAs are proposed as an evolutionary, additional, alternative to the RTN process
already working comparatively well in South Australia. Indeed, conjunctive ILUAs will be an attractive
incentive to achieve competitive bids, with explorers knowing the terms of land access prior to lodging bids.
A number of applications are being held over the western part of the Eromanga Basin pending resolution of
native title issues.
