Exploration activity in the northern Galilee Basin has been sporadic and is still at an immature stage. Recent geological investigations by the Queensland Department of Resource Industries have brought about a better understanding of the geological setting and stratigraphic evolution of the basin. These investigations also identified key source and reservoir units, determined maturation trends and delineated areas with hydrocarbon potential. The geological results indicate that the Aramac Coal Measures and Betts Creek beds contain the most favourable source and reservoir rocks. Thermal modelling of vitrinite reflectance data suggests that various parts of the basin reached maturity for hydrocarbon generation at different times. Integration of the geological results and thermal modelling has enabled exploration concepts to be developed for the basin. Application of these concepts has highlighted areas along the western margin of the Koburra Trough and eastern Maneroo Platform, and areas adjacent to the Cork Fault and the Wetherby Structure in the Lovelle Depression that warrant further exploration.

Abstract. Outcrops along the Inach River in the Uyandina basin and those along the Myatis' River in the Indigirka-Zyryanka basin were studied in detail and sampled for coal rank determinations. The Uyandina basin is an intramontane pull-apart basin characterized by extensional structures within the Moma rift system. The coal rank is below 0.3% vitrinite reflectance (Rr), which indicates shallow, immature conditions of basin formation and very low subsidence. The Myatis' River coal-bearing outcrops in the Indigirka-Zyryanka basin reveal compression induced by continent collision. The compressive deformation includes also lowermost Pliocene strata. Due to the position in the Verkhoyansk-Chersky fold belt adjacent to the Kolyma-Omolon microcontinent the Indigirka-Zyryanka basin has much in common with a foredeep, i.e. the asymmetry in thickness and tectonic structure. The vitrinite reflectance data (Rr) which range from 0.25% to more than 5% reinforce the accepted models that describe basin subsidence and geothermal history and the tectonic deformation.

Abstract Meso-Cenozoic sedimentary cover in the Middle Kura depression located between the Greater and Lesser Caucasus mountain structures contains numerous oil accumulations. According to studies in the Cretaceous and Paleogene strata, sedimentary organic matter is of mixed clastic-marine origin. Moderate amounts of organic matter have been recorded in the Eocene sediments (on average 0.70%), in the Upper and Lower Cretaceous average values made up 0.39% и 0.42%, respectively. Analysis of bitumoid composition suggests that in a number of areas bitumoids have experienced a widespread movement across the sedimentary strata. The results of measurements on isolated samples indicate that the Cretaceous strata have only advanced to the initial hard-coal stage of organic transformation (0.48-0.55%Ro). On vitrinite reflectance data the Eocene deposits in studied areas of the Middle Kura depression have reached initial (brown-coal) stage of catagenetic transformation (±0.48Ro%; est. paleotemperature of 85°C). Nonetheless, analysis of formation conditions of commercial HC accumulations found earlier in the Eocene strata allows considering them the most prospective in the Middle Kura depression.
