Pickanjinnie No. 1 bore seismic velocity survey, Queensland 1960

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

On 12th July 1960, a velocity survey of the Associated Australian Oilfields Pickanjinnie No. 1 bore was made by a Bureau of Mineral Resources seismic party. The bore, about 1 mile south of Pickanjinnie railway station, 20 miles east of Roma, had been drilled to a depth of 5218 ft and was surveyed to the bottom. The formations drilled were Mesozoic to a depth of 4180 ft, Permian to 4835 ft and the equivalent of the Timbury Hills Formation of unknown age to the bottom of the bore. The bore produced petroliferous gas at a rate of over 5 million cubic feet per day from three horizons near the base of the Mesozoic and within the Permian strata.
