By gathering, analysing and interpreting new and existing precompetitive geoscience data and knowledge, we are building a national picture of Australia’s geology and resource potential. This leads to a strong economy, resilient society and sustainable environment for the benefit of all Australians. This includes supporting Australia’s transition to a low emissions economy, strong resources and agriculture sectors, and economic opportunities and social benefits for Australia’s regional and remote communities. The Exploring for the Future program, which commenced in 2016, is an eight year, $225m investment by the Australian Government. The deep stratigraphic drill hole, NDI Carrara 1 (~1751 m), was completed in December 2020 as part of the MinEx CRC National Drilling Initiative (NDI) in collaboration with Geoscience Australia and the Northern Territory Geological Survey. It is the first test of the Carrara Sub-basin, a depocentre newly discovered in the South Nicholson region based on interpretation from seismic surveys (L210 in 2017 and L212 in 2019) recently acquired as part of the Exploring for the Future program. The drill hole intersected approximately 1100 m of Proterozoic sedimentary rocks uncomformably overlain by 630 m of Cambrian Georgina Basin carbonates. This contractor report (FIT - Schlumberger) presents hydrocarbon and aqueous fluid inclusion petrology and data (micro-thermometry, salinities etc.) on four hydrocarbon-bearing calcite veins sampled from NDI Carrara 1 between 762.56-763.60 m depth, (under contract to, and fully funded by, Geoscience Australia as part of the Exploring for the Future program). {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[137.7, -19.0], [137.8, -19.0], [137.8, -18.9], [137.7, -18.9], [137.7, -19.0]]]} 137.7 137.8 -19.0 -18.9 Barkly Tablelands Barkly-Isa-Georgetown EARTH SCIENCES EFTF - Exploring for the Future GEOLOGY NDI Carrara 1 Published_External South Nicholson calcite veins fluid inclusions microthermometry Download the report (pdf) [3.1 MB] documentDigital Download the report (pdf) [3.1 MB] PDF Download raw data files (las) [221.1 KB] documentDigital Download raw data files (las) [221.1 KB] ZIP
