Phillips-Sunray Buckabie No.1 Well, drilled to 9,070 feet near Quilpie, SW Queensland, provides lithological and paleontological data from cuttings and cores. The Australian Ocean Data Network published a report examining cuttings from 80 to 3,310 feet and three specific cores to determine a Lower Cretaceous sequence. This dataset likely contains stratigraphic and fossil occurrence data for the Great Artesian Basin.
Use Cases
- Stratigraphic correlation based on lithology and fossil first appearances
- Paleoenvironmental reconstruction based on foraminiferal species distribution
- Determining the base of marine Lower Cretaceous sections based on Inoceramus prisms
- Analyzing well core data for regional geological modeling
Strengths
- Report covers a specific depth interval from 80 feet to 3,310 feet
- Three core intervals were examined: 1,123' 8-1,136' 6, 3,264' - 3,264' 6, and 5,518' - 5,537'
- Well location is precisely described as 29 miles north of Quilpie, SW Queensland
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
