DULLINGARI NORTH 1 AN OIL DISCOVERY IN THE MURTA MEMBER OF THE EROMANGA BASIN

Abstract

Dullingari North 1 discovered oil in thin sandstone in the Murta Member of the Mooga Formation in the Dullingari area.

The well is about 70 km east of Moomba in northeastern South Australia.

The oil flow was the first from the upper Mooga Formation (Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous) and the reservoirs are the youngest known oil producers in the western Eromanga Basin.
