Emerald-Duaringa seismic survey, Queensland 1960

The Bowen Basin, in Central Queensland, is one of the sedimentary basins in which the search for oil is being pursued. In the second half of 1960 the Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics did a seismic survey lasting four months in the central portion of the Bowen Basin. This Record describes briefly the work done and the principal results obtained. A single, discontinuous seismic traverse was surveyed across the Basin in an east-west direction. The results provided information on the structure and minimum thicknesses of sediments in the area.

昆士兰州中部的博文盆地（Bowen Basin）是目前正在开展石油勘探的沉积盆地之一。1960年下半年，矿产资源、地质与地球物理局（Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics）在博文盆地中部区域开展了为期四个月的地震勘探工作。本记录将简要阐述本次工作内容与取得的主要成果。本次勘探沿东西向在盆地内布设了一条断续的单一地震测线。勘探结果为该区域的地层构造与沉积物最小厚度提供了相关数据支撑。
