The Oodjuongari Structure (-16.636, 134.205), seen on aeromagnetic data as a circular feature (Figures 2, 3a and 5), and traversed by four 2D seismic reflection profiles (Figures 6 and 7), is interpreted as a possible impact crater concealed by superficial Cainozoic strata. There is no surface expression of the structure which is located within the Beetaloo Sub-basin and overlying Georgina Basin, although small streams appear to deviate around the feature (Figure 3b). The structure appears to be circular on the aeromagnetic data and has a maximum diameter of 5 km. It has similar size and aeromagnetic signature to the Foelsche impact structure located 275 km to the east (Haines & Rawlings, 2002). In both cases the pronounced circular aeromagnetic feature appears to be related to a circular disruption of flat-lying mafic volcanics, which are the Mid-Cambrian Antrim Plateau Volcanics at Oodjuongari. If the Oodjuongari Structure is an impact structure, the 5 km diameter would be consistent with a complex crater with a central uplift.

The Officer-Musgrave project investigates the groundwater and energy resource potential of the Officer Basin and neighbouring Musgrave Province near the junction of South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Groundwater investigations focus on the Musgrave Province and overlying Officer Basin to identify potential palaeovalley groundwater resources, to support geological framework data acquisition and geochemistry. Groundwater systems in remote regions, such as the Officer-Musgrave region, are poorly understood due to sparse geoscientific data and few detailed scientific inestigations having been undertaken. Characterising the distribution and quality of groundwater resources, will lead to a better understanding of the groundwater resources for community supply and economic development opportunities.

The Warramunga Province of the Palaeoproterozoic North Australian Craton, in the central Northern Territory, represents a prospective terrane for mineral exploration. A well-known example is the Tennant Creek mineral field, which has a rich history of gold, copper, bismuth, silver, and selenium production. Some 80 km southwest of the Tennant Creek mineral field is the entirely undercover Rover field, which hosts base and precious metal deposits with established mineral resources (JORC). Despite this, the geological framework, nature and timing of mineral systems remains poorly understood.

In the Beetaloo Sub-basin, the Kyalla Formation is unconformably overlain by a late Mesoproterozoic to early Neoproterozoic sandstone to mudstone succession comprising three formations/units: the lower Jamison sandstone, the upper Jamison sandstone, and the Hayfield mudstone (Munson, 2016; pers. comm. 2022). Gorter and Grey (2013) subdivided the Jamison sandstone into two mappable units separated by an unconformity. The Jamison sandstone and overlying Hayfield mudstone represent a marked change in provenance and were deposited after the Musgrave Orogeny in a basin dominated by silciclastic sedimentation that may have formed a shallow, long-wavelength foreland basin to areas uplifted during the Musgrave Orogeny.

In recent years, there has been increased interest in Hydrogen’s production and use, not only for ammonia production but also as an energy carrier (IEA, 2017). It could be produced from carbon-abated fossil fuels, as well as renewable and clean energy sources (USDOE, 2021). Like fossil fuel, hydrogen can be transported and stored in fluid form (IEA, 2017).

The Camooweal deep-crustal seismic reflection survey (GSQ Open Data Portal SS095590) was acquired in 2019 by the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) as part of the Queensland Government’s Strategic Resources Exploration Program (SREP). The survey is centred on the northwest Queensland town of Camooweal, with the total length of acquisition spread over three lines: 19Q-C1 (65.8 km), 19Q-C2 (173.6 km) and 19Q-C3 (60.9 km).

The late Carboniferous to Middle Triassic Cooper Basin is Australia’s premier onshore petroleum province hosting a range of conventional and unconventional resources (Hall et al., 2019). Despite being considered a mature petroleum basin with over 1900 wells drilled and over 104,000 km of seismic surveys shot (Resources, 2022), many aspects of the Cooper Basin remain enigmatic with very different structural and sedimentary histories between the eight troughs and intervening ridges (Kulikowski et al., 2022).
