Whilst there is some evidence of oil from shows, fluid inclusions and natural strandings of asphaltite along the basin margin, it is unclear if any hydrocarbons were generated in the deep-water Ceduna Sub-basin. Fluid inclusions offer a unique method to test for petroleum migration that would otherwise remain hidden and a study, using CSIRO's Grains with Oil Inclusion (GOI™) technique, was undertaken on Gnarlyknots-1A along with other historic exploration wells. With the exception of Jerboa-1, in the Eyre Sub-basin, the GOI results (
