Rock-Eval Pyrolysis Data from Five Drill Holes in the Polda Basin

Geoscience Australia presents Rock-Eval pyrolysis results for source rock potential assessment. The data covers rock samples from five drill holes within the Polda Basin, South Australia. Analysis and interpretation of these well data were described in a 2000 report.

Use Cases

• Assess source rock potential based on Rock-Eval pyrolysis parameters mentioned in the description
• Model petroleum systems in the Polda Basin based on geochemical data from specific drill holes
• Calibrate regional geological interpretations using legacy geochemical data from Geoscience Australia

Strengths

• Data originates from Geoscience Australia, a national geological survey.
• Results are linked to five specific drill holes: Columbia 1, Lock 1, Lock 80L30C, Mercury 1, and Polda 1.
• Analysis is documented in a referenced 2000 report (Blevin et al.).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified; last metadata update was 2026-06-24.
