Abstract

A mesoscale petrophysics and lithological logging study has been carried out on 413 core samples of the 623 m thick Narrabeen Group succession penetrated by the Eveleigh No. 1 diamond drillhole. Mass properties, magnetic susceptibilities, and electrical estimates of mobile salt (EC 1 : 5 tests) were measured. A physical properties analysis posits a 3-fold subdivision of the succession: basal fluvio-deltaic and alluvial, upper lacustrine, and topmost fluvio-deltaic. Each division has cyclic sedimentation but from different provenances. The analysis has proved useful in the correlation of the Narrabeen Group present in a series of drillholes in the eastern part of the exposed Sydney Basin.
