Did you know? Back in 1967 a stratigraphic well was drilled at Arckaringa called Cootanorina 1.
From the well report
The depth seems consistent with the very similar oil shows at Maglia 1 drilled by Linc in 2009.
The wells are less than 20km apart.
I made a google map using the data from http://www.petroleum.pir.sa.gov.au to show Linc's wells and planned exploration wells (I used a + for the planned exploration wells)
You can see the map I made here

I think (hope) we are looking at possible conventional oil wells in the sandstone from ancient marine sediments in the upper mount toondina formation and shale oil from the vast shale reserves underlying that with nice VR results.
The well reports for the following wells are released on the dates indicated and I will be keen to see the details
For those interested to see a full detailed well report on Maglia-1
