Well Log Data From Three Carnarvon Basin Exploration Wells

April to June 1962 drilling data from the Wandagee No. 1 well, drilled to 3521 feet in Western Australia's Carnarvon Basin. The dataset includes results from a full program of logging, testing, and coring undertaken for West Australian Petroleum Pty Limited. It documents stratigraphy from Quaternary sands to Silurian/Ordovician formations, with traces of gas observed in the Tumblagooda Sandstone.

Use Cases

• Analyze stratigraphic column depth intervals like 'Upper Devonian Gneudna Formation at 591 feet' for basin modeling.
• Correlate hydrocarbon shows, such as 'traces of gas in marine siltstone from 2870 to 3098 feet', with geological formations.
• Study drilling parameters and results from 'four drillstem tests' that recovered brackish to salt water.
• Map the geological sequence from 'Quaternary sand' to 'Tumblagooda Sandstone' for regional geological studies.

Strengths

• Detailed depth-specific stratigraphic data from surface to 3521 feet.
• Contains results from a full suite of operations: logging, testing, and coring.
• Precise temporal coverage from April 25 to June 12, 1962.

Limitations

• Data is from a single well, limiting statistical or regional analysis.
• No quantitative columnar data or sample data is provided in the description.
• Data is historically stale, representing a snapshot from over 60 years ago.
