To report a serious incident to DEM, as required by Section 85(2) of the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Act 2000, licensees should contact the serious incident reporting hotline on: (08) 8463 6666. For more information please visit the Compliance and Monitoring webpage | DEM-ERD has just released the first “Basin in a Box” data-package covering the Simpson and Pedirka Basins. The dataset is available via the “Data and Publications” page. Each package is a consolidated set of seismic and well data to facilitate new ventures and exploration assessments of frontier basins in South Australia. Data releases for other frontier basins will follow.

In 1994 new seismic data was acquired  in the Officer Basin as part of the South Australian Exploration Initiative. These data were interpreted in conjunction with existing open file company data to produce time and depth maps at Base Cambrian and Basement horizons. Time maps were also prepared over two local areas.

Some of the maps from this mapping are included in the publication Petroleum Geology of South Australia - Volume 3 - the Officer Basin.

This mapping has also been partially incorporated into Geoscience Australia's (formerly Australia Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO)) 1995 Officer Basin Atlas.

This large format atlas summarises the 1993/94 seismic results from the two seismic surveys recorded under the NGMA and SAEI exploration programs.
