Interpretation of geoseismic survey, 1960

Abstract

The prospects of sealed closure are not strong. Attention was therefore given to the possibility of facies changes in the beds that underlie the Spirit Hill Limestone. There is the possibility that these beds together with the Spirit Hill Limestone into which they grade, are the equivalents of the Cockatoo Sandstone-Burt Range sequence. If this is so, the possibility of fault and stratigraphic traps below the Spirit Hill Limestone is increased. The interpretation of the results of this seismic project presented many difficulties owing to the lack of reasonably continuous reflecting horizons, particularly in the critical zone to the south of Spirit Hill.
