la) Geophysical Operations.
No geophysical operations were carries out in TP/J duringthe six month period from January 1st 1970 to June JOth, 1970.The B69B Marine Seismic & Magnetic Survey was conducted partlyin TP/J, between October Jrd and October 14th, 1969, and detailswere submitted in our Half yearly Report dated 21st January, 1970.
(b) Drilling Operations.
Whelk No. 1 Well, located 15 miles west of King Island, wasspudded on 6th March, 1970, and abandoned at 4810 feet as a dryhole on 17th March, 1970. A Completion Report, prepared by
~ Esso is attached.Cormorant No. 1 Well, located 55 miles south-west of
Wilson's PromontoFy was spudded on 10th June, 1970, and reachedTotal Depth of 9845 feet on 9th July, 1970. Abandonmentoperations are currently in progress, and a Completion Reportwill be forwarded with the next half yearly report.
(c) Geological Operations.
Geological compilation work has proceeded in TP/J in conjunction with work in both Otway and Bass Basins in TP's 4, 5and 6,
Attached are our present stratigraphic charts for timestratigraphic zonation for both Otway and Bass Basins. Theyreflect our reliance on spore-pollen assemblages for timezonation in the non marine part of the section in both Otwayand Bass Basins.
(d) Future Program.
Marine seismic is presently planned for the forthcomingsummer months in all Bass Basin permits (viz. Tpt s J, 4, 5 & 6)as part of our overall exploration evaluation for the Basin.At this time details of this shooting program have not yet beenf~alised,. We will advise you of the overallamount of shootingplanned for the basin as well as the specific amounts for eachpermit when this program is finalised. No shooting programis presently planned in the Otway Basin part of TP/J.
Geological studies in TP/J will be carried out in conjunction with our proposed marine seismic program in the overallBass Basin and will incorporate the results of Cormorant 1.
Future drilling in the permit will depend upon the results,interpretation and integration of these various phases ofexploration.

(a) Geophysical Operations.
No geophysical operations were carried out in TP/4 duringthe six month period from January 1, 1970 to June JO, 1970.Mileage shot in the B69B seismic program in the Bass Basilnshot partly in TP/4 in October, 1969 and the G69A and B surveysin Gippsland have previously been reported.
(b) Drilling Operations.
No drilling operations were carried out in the six monthperiod January 1, 1970 to June JOth, 1970. Results of Bluebone 1 (abandoned on October 2, 1969) in the Gippsland Basinpart of the permit have previously been forwarded.
(c) Geological Operations.
Geological compilation work has proceeded in TP/4 in conjunction with overall evaluation of the Bass Basin in TP'sJ, 5 and 6 and in conjunction with studies of the Gippsland Basinsituated in the north eastern part of TP/4.
Attached are copies of our present stratigraphic charts fortmme stratigraphic zonation for both Bass and the Gippsland Basins.They reflect our reliance on spore-pollen assemblages for timezonation in the non-marine part of the section in both Bass andGippsland Basins.
(d) Future Program.
Marine Seismic is presently planned for the forthcomingSummer months in all Bass Basin permits (viz. TP J, 4, 5 & 6)as part of our overall exploration. evaluation for the Basin.At this time details of this shooting program have not yet beenfinalised. We will advise you of the overall amount of shootingplanned for the basin as well as the specific amounts for eachpermit when this program is finalised. No shooting program~is
presently planned in the Gippsland Basin part of TP/4.Geological studies in TP/4 will be carried out in conjunction
with our proposed seismic program and will incorporate resultsof the overall evaluation within the Bass Basin.
Future drilling in this permit will be dependant upon theresults and interpretation and integration of these various phasesof exploration.

(a) Geophysical Operations.
No geophysical operations were carried out in TP/5 duringthe annual report period.
(b) Drilling OPerations.
No drilling operations were carried out in the six monthperiod January 1, 1970 to June 30, 1970. Results of theClam 1 Well which was plugged and abandoned as a dry hole on
/> August 15, 1969 have been previously forwarded.
(c) Geological Operations.
Geological compilation work has proceeded in TP/5 in conjunction with overall evaluation of the Bass Basin in TP's3, 4 and 6 and in conjunction with studies of the Otway Basinsituated in the western part of TP/5. Attached are copies ofour present stratigraphic charts for time stratigraphic zonationfor both Bass and Otway Basins. They reflect our reliance onspore-pollen assemblages for time zonation in the non marinepart of the section in both Bass and Otway Basins.
(d) Future Program.
Marine Seismic is presently planned for the forthcomingsummer months in all Bass Basin permits (viz. TP 3, 4, 5 & 6)as part of our overall exploration evaluation for the Basin.At this time details of this shooting program have not yetbeen finalised. We will advise you of the overall amount ofshooting planned for the basin as well as the specific amountsfor each permit when this program is finalised.
