Pickanjinnie No. 1 Bore Seismic Velocity Survey, Queensland 1960

A seismic velocity survey of the Associated Australian Oilfields Pickanjinnie No. 1 bore conducted on 12th July 1960 by a Bureau of Mineral Resources party. The bore, drilled to 5218 ft near Roma, Queensland, intersected Mesozoic, Permian, and Timbury Hills Formation strata and produced over 5 million cubic feet of petroliferous gas per day. The dataset likely contains velocity measurements and geological logs from this survey.

Use Cases

• Calibrating seismic reflection data based on the measured velocity profiles.
• Modeling subsurface geology based on the described stratigraphic layers (Mesozoic, Permian, Timbury Hills Formation).
• Analyzing gas reservoir potential based on the reported petroliferous gas flow rates and horizons.

Strengths

• Survey date and location (12th July 1960, near Roma, Queensland) are precisely documented.
• Bore depth (5218 ft) and stratigraphic boundaries (Mesozoic to 4180 ft, Permian to 4835 ft) are explicitly stated.
• Gas production rate (over 5 million cubic feet per day) from specific horizons is provided.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single 1960 survey.
