NOTE:

DESCRIPTION OF CUTTINGS SAMPLES

Words having a quantitative connotation were used

in describing sedimentary packages involving a

repetitive series of lithologies. These words and

their significance were:

1. Alternating - two main rock types, each

comprising between 60% and 40% of

the series

2. Interbedded - between 40% and 20%

3. Minor - between 20% and 10%

4. Trace - under 10%

Ground Level - 60' - No Samples Taken

(Ground Level - 18.2m)

60' - 360'

(18.2m - 109.7m)

Clay with trace thin stringers

of Sand.

Clay:

medium rusty brown grading to light

brown with depth, ferruginous,

slightly calcareous to calcareous,

soft, dull. No shows.

Sand:

clear to milky, quartz, feruginous,

traces of very fine grained flecks

of biotite, gypsum flakes occur in

360' - '510'

(109.7m - lSS.4m)

510' - 630'

(lSS.4m - 192.0m)

trace to heavy traces, minor quartz

grains poorly bound by calcareous

cement, fine to meduim grained,

well rounded, high sphericity, well

sorted, good intergranular

porosity. No shows.

Alternating beds of Clay.

Clay:

light brown, white, light olive

gray, traces of iron staining at

depth, light brown and olive gray

clays are slightly calcareous,

white clays are calcareous, all

clays are soft, dull, white clays

are chaulky, iron stained clays at

depth have trace silica granules,

hard, with leached (pitted)

surfaces (stringers of silcrete).

No shows.

Sandy Silt

Silt:

light yellowish brown to light gray

with depth, siliceous to slightly

calcareous, soft to dispersive,

SUMMARY

A Vertical Seismic Profile (VSp) was conducted in Poeppels Corner #1 on 21st September 1984. Eighty-six levels were shot using an airgun source the majority of which have been used in the VSP processing.

The objective of the VSP was threefold:

1) - to determine the mUltiple content of the area by analysis of the downgoing wavetrains.

2) - to get a better tie between the Geogram and Seismic. This is due to the fact that the lateral depth of investigation of a VSP is intermediate between surface seismic and logs (radius 20 meters).

3) - to obtain a high resolution time-depth curve. As the levels are separated by only 2 to 16 milliseconds, accurate velocity analysis can be made.

In addition to the above the VSP has other applications:

a) - Further analysis of the downgoing wavetrain provides information on the earth filtering of the seismic wave versus depth.

b) - The VSP has the properties of being Vertical, therefore minimising the effects of moveout. This simplifies greatly the analysis of highly dipping reflectors, and also the interpretation of data recorded in faulted areas.

c) - One of the most important applications of VSP's is the analysis of reflected signals below the sensor.

A total of 86 check levels were shot with the number of stacked and rejected shots for each level being sh,own in the table above. The check levels at 8500, 5050,4990,4980,4970,4300,3505 and 3500ft below KB have been omitted from the VSP and sonic calibration processing. In most cases the geophone has been moved to nearby borehole positions in order to improve the signal to noise ratio. Check levels shot between 8400ft and 2350ft have been used in the VSP

processing. Above 2350ft the levels at 2070 and 1100ft below KB have also been omitted from the sonic calibration processing due to poor quality signals.

The general data quality was good and a plot of the stacked check shot data (Figure 1) has been included as Plot 1 of the VSP displays.

Page 97: NT Minerals and Energy

Page 6 SONIC CALIBRATION

Purpose: To adjust the sonic log using the vertical times obtained at each check level.

Method: A "drift" curve is obtained using the sonic log and the vertical check level times. The term "drift" is defined as selsmic time (from check shots) minus sonic time (from integration of edited sonic). Commonly the word "drift" is used to identify the above difference, or to identify the gradient of drift versus increasing depth, or to identify a difference of drift between two levels.

The gradient of drift, that is the slope of the drift curve, can be negative or positive.

For a negative drift ~drift <0' and tbe sonic time is grea.ter Adeptb

tban tbe seismic time over a certain section of log.

For a positive drift .~ drift >0' and tbe sonic time is smaller 4depth

than the seismic time over that section of log.

Tbe drift curve, between two levels, is then an indication of the error on the integrated sonic or an indication of the amount of correction required on the sonic to have the TTt of the corrected sonic match the check shot times.

Two methods of correction to the sonic log are used.

(a) Uniform or block shift.

This method applies a uniform correction to all sonic values over the interval. This uniform correction is applied in the case of positive drift and is the average correction represented by the drift curve gradient expressed in #s/ft.

(b) ~T Minimum

In the case of negative drift a second method is used, called At minimum. This applies a differential correction to the sonic log, where it is assumed that the greatest amount of transit time error is caused by the lower velocity sections of log. Over a given interval the method will correct only At values which are higher than a threshold, the At minimum. Values of At which are lower than the threshold are not corrected. The correction is a reduction of the excess of At over At minimum, At - At min.

At - At minimum is reduced through multiplication by a reduction coefficient which remains constant over the interval. This reduction coeffiCient, named G, can be defined as:

G = 1 + Drift "'JI":"(~-:-t----:'~-t-m--:-in~i:-m-um--=-)~dZ-

Where drift is the drift over the interval to be corrected and the value J(At - At minimum)dZ is the time difference between the integrals of the two curves ~t and At minimum, only over the intervals where At> At min.

Hence the corrected sonic: At • C(At - At min) + At min.

Page 98: NT Minerals and Energy

Page 7 SONIC PROCESSING

OPEN HOLE LOGS

Both the sonic and density logs used in this report have been edited prior to input into the WST chain. The sonic curve was affected by noise spikes and cycle skipping which have been edited with straight line patching. No density logs were available above 4530ft below KB and so a constant density of 2.4gm/cc has been used above this depth.

To follow the client request of using a replacement velocity of 6000ft/s down to 0.5s no open-hole logs have been used above 1500ft.

CORRECTION TO DATUM

Seismic reference Datum (SRD) is at 300 feet above Mean Sea Level. The airgun was positioned 19ft below Ground Level (188ft below SRD). ARCO AUSTRALIA LTD. requested a replacement velocity of 6000ft/s between SRD and 0.5s TWT (1500ft). To obtain this a velocity of 6290ft/s was used between gun depth and 1500ft below SRD (Based on the transit time from the check level at 1300ft below KB) and a velocity of 4539.42ft/s was input between SRD and gun depth. This resulted in an average velocity of 6000ft/s to 1500ft below SRD and a correction from source to datum of 41.42ms.

SONIC CALIBRATION RESULTS

The top of the sonic log (in this case 1500ft) is chosen a~ the or1g1n for the calibration drift curve. All drift measurements are relative to this point.

The drift curve is noticeable for the large amount of scatter of the drift points. There is no obvious reason for this, especially considering the good quality of the check shot data. However there are some well defined trends on the drift curve and these have been followed as closely as possible. The corrections applied are block shifts of 5.83 us/ft, 1.18 us/ft, 6.65 us/ft

and 1.26 us/ft over the intervals 1353 - 3120ft, 3120 - 3969ft, 3969 - 4601ft and 7386 - 8500ft respectively (depths below KB). Differential shifts using delta-t minimum values of 72.7 us/ft and 67.35 us/ft have been applied over the intervals 4601 - 5340ft and 5340 - 7386ft (depths below KB)

The adjusted sonic curve is considered to be the best result using the available data.

GEOGRAM PROCESSING

Geograms were generated using zero phase Ricker wavelets of various frequencies to pick the most suitable frequency to match the seismic section. The presentations include both normal and reverse polarity at IOcm/sec.

Geogramprocessing produces synthetic seismic traces based on reflection coefficients generated from sonic and density measurements in the well­bore. The steps in the processing chain are the following:

Time to depth conversion Generate reflection coefficients Generate attenuation coefficients Choose a suitable wavelet Convolution Output

Page 100: NT Minerals and Energy

Page 9 TIME TO OEPTII CONVERSION

Open hole togs are recorded from bottom to top with a depth index. This data is converted to a two-way time index and flipped to read from top to bottom in ord~r to match the seismic section.

REFLECTION COEFFICIENTS - ATTENUATION COEFFICIENTS

Primaries:

Sonic and density data are averaged over chosen time intervals (normally 2 or 4ms intervals). Reflection coefficients are then computed using:

where

R= ~,,-P,v.

P, ~+P, ~ p, = density of the layer above the reflection interface Pz = density of the layer below the reflection interface ~ = compressional wave velocity of the layer above the

reflection interface ~ = compressional wave velocity of the layer below the

reflection interface

This computation is done for each time interval to generate a set of primary reflection coefficients without transmission losses.

PRIMARIES WITlt TRANSMISSION LOSS;

Transmission loss on two-way attenuation coefficients are computed using:

2 2 2 2 = O-R, )( l-R 2 ) (l-R 3' ) ••• O-R n )

A set of primary reflection coefficients with transmission losses is generated using:

PrimarYn = Rn An_I

PRIMARIES PLUS MULTIPLES:

Multiples are computed from these input reflection coefficients using the transform technique from the top of the well to obtain the impulse response of the earth. The transform outputs primaries + multiples.

MULTIPLES ONLY:

By subtracting previously calculated primaries from the above result we obtAin multiples only.

Page 101: NT Minerals and Energy

Page 10

WAVELET

A theoretical wavelet is chosen to use for convolution with the reflection coefficients previously generated.

Choices available include:

Klauder wavelet Ricker zero phase wavelet Ricker zero phase wavelet Ricker minimum phase wavelet User defined wavelet

All wavelets can be chosen with or without butterworth filtering and with user defined centre frequencies. Polarity conventions are shown in Figure 2. These Geograms were generated using zero phase Ricker wavelets convolved with a lS-60Hz Butterworth filter.

CONVOLUTION

Standard procedure of convolution of wavelet with reflection coefficients. The output is the synthetic seismic data.

Page 102: NT Minerals and Energy

PROCESSING PARAMETER Page 11

PLOT #1 - STACK

All the raw shots after editing are stacked (or added together) to reduce noise.

PLOT #2 - BPF, TAR

After stacking a Band Pass Filter is used to filter out unwanted noise and True Amplitude Recovery to compensate for signal reduction with depth. The data is then corrected to SRD.

Band Pass Filter used : 14-60Hz TAR Factor : 1.2 Correction to SRD : -.041 Sec

PLOT #3 - VELOCITY FILTER

By adding and subtracting the travel time to each trace and then averaging over a number of levels, the upgoing and downgoing can be separated.

Number of levels averaged: 7

PLOT #4 - PREDICTIVE DE CONVOLUTION

By using the downgoing events to analyse the multiple content, parameters can be picked (predicted) to remove (by deconvolution) the multiples from the upgoing wavetrain.

The PDN parameters used:

Length Lag White Noise Added

2.0 sec : .700 sec

270

PLOT #5 - WAVESHAPE DECONVOLUTION

By using the downgoing events after PDN to analyse the remaining multiple content, parameters can be selected to further deconvolve the wavetrain using a known wavelet (Zero or Minimum phase).

The WSF parameters used:

Window Wavelet

2.0 sec Zero Phase

PLOT #6,7 - VSP/GEOGRAM

The upgoing events after WSF are then stacked and displayed with the upgoing from WSF and Geogram. Two stacks are made, one using all data and the other only using the first lOOms of each wavetrain. The latter should simulate the reflectors at the borehole.

Plot #6 contains data using Normal Polarity.

Plot #7 contains data using Reverse Polarity.

b. Prognosis

Poeppels Corner No. 1 was an exploration well drilled on the crest of

a dip closed anticlinal structure in the western flank of the Eromanga

Basin. The main objectives were lower to middle Jurassic non-marine

sandstones of the Poolowanna Beds. Secondary objectives were Triassic

sandstones of the Peera Peera formation. Other wells drilled in the

area include Thomas No. 1 and Poolowanna No. 1 and data from these .

wells was used for correlation and estimating normal pressure gradients.

Exploration Logging provided a standard mudlogging unit equiped with

a drill monitor panel, shale density kit and autocalcimeter. In addi­

tion to the conventional mudlogging and formation evaluation services

provided from spud to total depth, Exploration Logging also provided

a pressure evaluation service utilising the information recorded by

the drill monitor panel. The Operator was continuously advised as to

the status of these analyses and the results are presented in the

appendices to this report (see Appendix 1, Formation Evaluation Log,

and Appendix 2. Drilling Data Pressure Log).

2. DRILLING AND ENGINEERING

Poeppels Corner No. 1 was an exploration well drilled in south eastern

Northern Territory using Richter Rig No. 8. The well was drilled in 33 days

using 11 bits (4 tooth bits. 6 insert bfts. 1 core bit) which drilled for

a total of 338.5 hours at an average rate of penetration of 24.8 ft/hr.

Good, safe and generally efficient drilling practice was used and hole pro­

blems were comparatively minor although some time was lost conditioning the

hole prior to running the 9.625- casing. No Significant hydrocarbons were

encountered.

26" and 17.5" Hole Section. 31 ft (GL) to 740 ft.

A 26" auger bit was used to drive the surface hole to 60 ft where the auger

bit snapped and had to be fished. During fishing operations the hole was

deepened to 63 ft where the 20" conductor pipe was run and cemented with the

shoe at 63 ft. The flowline. etc, was connected and NBll, a HTC OSC 3AJ 17.5",

was run and drilled to 740 ft at an average rate of penetration of 28.2 ft/hr.

At 740 ft returns were circulated. a wiper trip made with no problems, and

18 joints of 54.5 lb/ft, K55, 13.375" casing run and cemented with the shoe

at 723 ft.

12.25" Hole Section. 740 to 4540 ft.

The 12.25" hole was drilled from 740 to 4540 ft, a distance of 3800 ft, using

two tooth bits, in a total of 75 hours at an average rate of penetration of

50.7 ft/hr.

Page 120: NT Minerals and Energy

-4-

The Baps were nippled up and tested and NB#2, a HTC f3A,'was run and tagged

cement at 682 ft. The cement. shoe and new hole were drilled to 743 ft

using water. At 743 ft the drilling fluid was converted to a water-polymer

mud system but this became contaminated by the cement and had to be dumped.

Drilling then continued, using water, to 848 ft where returns were circu­

lated and the water replaced with a water-polymer mud system and the bit

pulled to add stabilizers to the BHA. RRB#l, a HTC X3A, was run next and

drilled to 3249 ft before being pulled due to high bit hours and an in­

crease in torque. Minor tight hole was recorded from the first few stands

of the trip out. On the trip in with NBI3, another HTC X3A, a bridge was

hit at 2256 ft and was reamed to 2315 ft. The trip in continued to 3126 ft

where the failure of a rig motor necessitated the suspension of the trip

while repairs were carried out. On resumption of the trip the hole was

tight and had to be reamed from 3126 to 3156 ft. By 3156 ft it was no .

longer possible to circulate, probably due to cavings/filt packing off the

BHA, and four singles had to be pumped out before circulation was regained

and the trip in could be completed.

NB#3 drilled to 4540 ft, with surveys being run at 3725 ft (1.75 degrees),

4260 ft (1.75 degrees), and at 4520 ft (1.25 degrees). At 4540 ft bottoms

up were circulated and the bit pulled. Tight hole was noted on the trip

out and the bit run back to bottom where returns were circulated to condi-

tion the hole and a high viscosity pill circulated to clean out the hole.

A 15 stand wiper trip was made with minor tight hole on the trip out and 43

ft of fill being reamed/washed on the trip in. Returns were again circulated

to further condition the hole, a 10 stand wiper trip made with no drag or

fill, bottoms up circulated and the bit pulled. Wireline logs were run,

Page 121: NT Minerals and Energy

-5-

with a wiper trip being made between logging runs and 119 jonts of K55

40 lb/ft. 9.625" casing were run and cemented with 330 sacks of Class G

cement lead slurry at 13.5 ppg tailed by 168 sacks Class G cement at

15.8 ppg. A wireline temperature log was run which indicated that the top

of the cement was at 2650 ft.

A saltwater-polymer mud system. with weights between 9.3 and 9.6 ppg, was

used in the 12.25" hole section. The hole condition was generally good,

however below 3250 ft considerable problems with cavings and fill occurred

and some time was lost circulating to condition the mud and to remove

cavings/ fill from the hole. The main source of the cavings appears to

have been from 840 to 1140 ft and from 1460 to 1540 ft. Both these zones

may have been slightly overpressured.

8.5" Hole Section. 4540 to 8500 ft (Total Depth).

The 8.51t hole section was drilled from 4540 to 8500 ft, a distance of

3960 ft, using one tooth bit, one core bit and 7 insert bits, in a total of

239.5 hours (drilling time) at an average rate of penetration of 16.5 ft/hr.

The BOP stack, flare line etc, were connected and successfully tested, the

12.25" BHA laid down and a slick 8.5" BHA picked up and NB#4, a HTC J04

run in. After drilling cement from 4450 ft. the shoe track and new hole to

4450 ft. bottoms up were circulated and a leak off test run. This test

indicated a formation fracture pressure of 14.1 ppg EMW. At 4616 ft a

negative flow check was made, bottoms up circulated and cement contaminated

Page 122: NT Minerals and Energy

-6-

mud dumped. Drilling continued to 4650 ft where bottoms up were circulated

and the bit pulled to add stabilizers to the BHA. NBNS was run in to the

shoe and the existing saltwater-polymer mud system replaced by a saltwater­

gel-polymer mud system. The trip 1n was them completed with the last 11 ft

to bottom being reamed. Thirty klb drag was noted while making a connection

at 5546 ft and a high viscosity pill circulated to clean out the hole.

At 5664 ft bottoms up were circulated. a survey dropped and the bit pulled

due to bit hours and increased torque.

NB#6, a HTC J22. was run and, after reaming 10 ft to bottom drilled to

6506 ft where bottoms up were circulated, a survey dropped and the bit

pulled. NB#7, a HTC J33, was run in but only drilled to 6551 ft due to a

washed out nozzle. After replacing the nozzle and adding a junk sub to the

BHA RRB#7 was run and drilled to 6938 ft where bottoms up were circulated,

a survey run, and the bit pulled due to increased torque and high bit hours.

Minor tight hole was recorded on the trip out between 6938 and 6467 ft.

NB#8, another J33 drilled to 7421 ft, with bottoms up being circulated at

7022 ft and 7054 ft to check for possible shows. Forty klbs overpul1 was

noted on a connection at 7419 ft with high torque occurring while working

back to bottom. At 7421 ft bottoms up were circulated, a survey dropped

and the bit pulled with tight hole being noted from 7421 to 6761 ft.

The stack was successfully tested and NB#9, a HTC J44 run, with the inter­

val 7359 to 7421 ft being reamed. After a drilling break at 7570 ft bottoms

up were circulated with 1.25 units of gas (from a coal) being recorded~

At 7829 ft bottoms up were circulated, a survey dropped and the bit pulled

due to erratic torque. The torque was probably due to a change 1n lithology.

Page 123: NT Minerals and Energy

-7-

HBI10, a J44. drilled to 7948 ft where bottoms up were circulated with

0.75 units of gas being recorded from a (fractured?) carbonate. At 8344 ft

bottoms up were again circulated, a survey dropped (misrun), and the bit

pulled due to high bit hours and decreasing rate of penetration. Minor

tight hole was again noted on the trip out from the interval 7307 to 7127 ft.

NBl11, a J33, drilled to 8469 ft where a deviation survey indicated an in­

clination of 14 degrees. The high deviation was due to the bit following

the dip of the basement.

Drilling continued to 8490 ft where bottoms up were circulated and the bit

pulled to cut a basement core. Core No. 1 was then cut from 8490 to 8500 ft

and recovered 10.6 ft of metasediments and trachyte. Wireline logs were

run with wiper trips after the HOT and CST logs. Cement plugs were set

and Poeppels Corner No. 1 was abandoned as a dry well.

A saltwater-gel-polymer mud system was used in the 8.5" hole section with

properties sufficient to prevent any serious hole problems. Carbides were

run regularly, to checK for hole washouts and the effectiveness of the gas

detection system, and indicated that the hole was s1ightly washed out.

Minor overpull was noted from most trips through the newly drilled section

of hole. This was probably caused by slight swelling of hydratable clay­

stones and shales.

Page 125: NT Minerals and Energy

-9-

b. Formation Pore Pressure

Based. on the expected stratigraphy and data from the Thomas and

Poolowanna No. 1 wells a normal pore pressure of 8.6 ppg EMW was

assumed for Poeppels Corner No. 1. This was confirmed by RFTs run at

6729, 6770. 7041 and 7052 ft, all of which indicated formation pore

pressures of between 8.57 and 8.59 ppg EMW.

Dxc, bulk/shale density. gas. cavings, and hole deviation were all

continuously monitored as an aid to pressure detection but most proved

unreliable. Shale density and bulk density determinations were affected

by the lack of good shales and by the hydratable nature of most of the

clays. Gas values throughout the well were too low to detect any trip

or connection gases. if present. The interbedded and variable nature

of the lithologies and the absence of good claystone/shale sections

made Dxc values unreliable and difficult to interpret. Cavings/fill

and hole condition proved to be the best parameters for indicating, at

least qualitatively, changes in pore pressure.

The 17.5" hole section appeared to be normally pressured at 8.6 ppg

and there was no indication of abnormal pressuring 1n this section.

The parameters monitored while drilling indicated that the 12.25 t1 hole

was normally pressured at 8.6 ppg. However the amount of cavings and

fill seen after trips below 3249 ft and the splintery nature of these

cavings indicated the presence of minor overpressuring. The maximum

formation pressure was estimated to between 8.8 and 9.0 ppg EMW.

Page 126: NT Minerals and Energy

-10-

Wireline logs run at 4540 ft indicated that the intervals 840 to

1140 ft and 1460 to 1540 ft were significantly washed out and it is

probable that the overpressuring may have been restricted to these

zones.

The 8.5" hole section appeared to be normally pressured and no evi­

dence was seen to indicated any abnormal pressuring. This was con­

firmed by RFTs run at 8500 ft which gave the following results:

FORMATION DEPTH FSIP PRESSURE ft psi ppg EMW.

The RFT at 4708 ft was run in the top fo the Algebuckina Sandstone

and the slightly higher formation pressrue reading was probably due to

water drive in the sandstone.

4. GEOLOGY AND SHOWS

Poeppels Corner No. 1 was an exploration well drilled in the western flank

of the Eromanga Basin to test the hydrocarbon bearing potential of the lower

to middle Jurassic sandstones of the Poolowanna Beds. Triassfc sandstones

of the Peera Peera formation were also considered targets.

Exploration Logging personnel collected, prepared, described and packaged

cuttings and mud samples as per the requirements of Arco. Samples were

collected at 30 ft intervals from spud to 740 ft and at 10 ft intervals

from 740 to 8500 ft.

No significant hydrocarbon shows were recorded. Gas values ranged from

nil to trace with a maximum of 1 unit (200 ppm) from a coal at 7560 ft.

Because of the very low background gas readings carbides were run frequ~ntly

to check the sensitivity of the gas detection system and consistently gave

good results. No evidence was seen to indicate the presence of significant

liquid hydrocarbons, with only trace shows, mainly from carbonaceous material,

seen between 6550 and 7420 ft. The absence of hydrocarbons may indicate

a lack of seal 1n potential reservoir horizons.

The following lithologies were observed:

60 ft (first returns) to 640 ft

This interval consisted of claystone, which drilled at between 15 and

30 ft/hr and at an average 60 ft/hr. No gas. No shows.

claystone averaged 40 - 80 ft/hr, and through the sandstone averaged

40 ft/hr. Minor gas of less than 0.5 unit (all methane) was recorded.

No shows.

The claystone was medium brown grey to brown grey to dark grey, soft to

firm, occasionally moderately hard, massive to subfissile, silty in

'part, trace very fine sand, slightly calcareous, micro-micaceous in

6715ft to 7350ft

This interval consisted of sandstone with interbedded silstone, shale and

minor coal. Gas values ranged from nil to 0.5 units, with Cl to C4 being

recorded. The gas was from coal/carbonaceous material. Aggregates of

fine sandstone although having no natural fluorescence, gave a very weak

milky white cut/crush cut fluorescence, probably from carbonaceous material

in the sandstone. Trace crush cut/cut fluorescence was also obtained

from siltstones and shales. Rates of penetration averaged 20 to 40 ft/hr

interbedded with lesser sandstone and minor coal. Rates of penetration

varied from 5 ft/hr in the s11 ty shale to 15 to 20 ft/hr in the sandstone

with drilling breaks of up to 60 ft/hr in the coals. Minor gas of up to

1 unit (Cl - C4) was recorded from the coals. Trace dull orange

fluorescence giving a very poor cut/crush cut fluorescence was recorded

intenmittantly from siltstone, sandstone and silty shale throughout this .

interval. The cut was probably from carbonaceous material.

hard, dominantly hard, very fine to fine, occasionally medium, subangular

to subrounded, occasionally rounded, moderately sorted, common white to

light grey argillaceous matrix, common siliceous cement, trace lithics

cut fluorescence from dry samples only.

The s1ltstone was light grey to medium grey brown, occasionally very dark

grey, firm to moderately hard, subfissile, common very fine "quartz grains,

common carbonaceous flecks and micro-laminae, micro-micaceous, trace

disseminated pyrite. The silty shale was medium brown grey to very dark

grey brown, firm t~ moderately hard, subfissile to fissile, commonly

carbonaceous and micro-micaceous, common silty material The coal

was black, hard, brittle, vitreous, conchoidal fracture, often very

argillaceous. The siltstone, silty shale and coal had a trace dull

orange fluorescence giving a weak milky white crush cut fluorescence

with a weak, very slow streaming, milky white cut fluorescence.

7690ft to 7826ft

This interval consited of chloritized talc which drilled at rates of

penetration varying from 5 ft/hr to 19 ft/hr and averaging 10 ft/hr.

Trace gas, all methane, no shows.

The chloritized talc was white to medium green, occasionally medium

yellow, soft to occasionally moderately hard, fissile, pearly lustre,

phyllitic texture, common metamorphic flow and recrystal1ized texture,

trace very dark grey, verY micaceous,carbonaceous grains, trace coarse

quartz grains with internally intergrown black mineral (tourmaline?)

interbedded with minor red shale and sandstone.

7826ft to 7940ft

The phyl1ite was dark grey, hard, fissile, commonly micro-micaceous,

moderately carbon-aceous, common intergrown pyrite, minor quartz veining

where si~y, very silicified, grading to and interlaminated with guartzite,

light grey, often translucent, cherty texture in part, conchoidal

fracture in part, very hard, original sandstone structure a1most entirely

destroyed by sflicffication, trace biotite, trace lamfnar carbonaceous

and argillaceous matter, reI ic quartz grains often stress elongated,

trace disseminated pyrite especially along fracture planes, trace

radial pyrite growth, no porosity.

7940ft to 8496ft

The rocks in this interval were interpreted by EXLOG personnel as being

metasediments. However an examination of Core No 1, cut from 8490 ft

to 8500 ft, indicated that there was a strong volcanoclastic influence

in this section and it is probable that the metasediments also included

welded tuffs, igni'nlbrites, flows etc. Strong quartz, dolomite and

calcite veining was also common throughout this interval. Rates of

penetration varied from 6 ft/hr to 22 ft/hr and averaged 8 ft/hr. No

hydrocarbon indications were seen but from 8300 ft minor gas was

recorded. This was probably produced by the decomposition of polymers

1n the mud.

The metasediments/volcanics were white to bright green grey to medium

grey, mottled in part, hard to very hard, dense and massive to

occasionally fissile, common white to medium green grey (siliceous)

groundmdss with chloritic veins, bands and ellipsoids, common to abundant

cryptocrystalline to macrocrystal1ine calcite and dolomite veins and

crystals, common quartz veins, calcite, dolomite and quartz commonly

intergrown, very micaceous in part, schistose/phyllitic texture where

micaceous, rare acicular texture, rare ellipsoidal quartz grains with

"growth halo" texture, all grain boundaries diffused and intergrown,

grades in part to marble, no porosity.

8496ft to 8500ft

This interval was seen in the bottom part of Core No 1 and consisted

of a trachyte/diorite which was very dark grey to black, melanocratic,

very hard, massive, hyaline with fine hornblende augite, pink orthoclase

and plagioclase crystals, common feldspar phenocrysts up to granule in

size. High angle fractures infilled with calcite and occasionally chlorite

were also seen. The contact between the metasediments/volcanics and the

trachyte/diorite was dipping at 35 deg with a hole deviation of 14 deg.

~ Coring

Core No 1 was a basement core cut from 8490ft to 8500ft and

recovered 10 1 5.5" (104.6%) of metasediments/volcanics and

trachyte-diorite.

At 4540ft 41 CSTls were shot with 4 misfires. 1 lost and 36

recovered. These were described by EX LOG personnel.

At 8500ft 81 CST's were shot with 10 being lost and 71 being

recovered. These were also described by EXLOG personnel.

6. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

Poeppels Corner was an exploration well drilled in the western flank

of the Eromanga Basin. The well was drilled in 33 days to a total

depth of 8500 ft using H bits at an average rate of penetration of

24.9 ft/hr.

No significant hydrocarbon indications were seen possibly due to the

lack of seal in possible "resevoirlt sections. Poeppels Corner No 1

was plugged and abandoned as a dry well.
