The Timor Sea Geophysical Survey was carried out during the latter part of 1967 by United Geophysical Corporation for the Bureau of Mineral Resources. The town of Darwin, Northern Territory, was the base of operations. The survey covered most of the area between the Island of Timor and the northwest Australian Coast, and extended into adjacent waters as well. The purpose was to obtain reconnaissance gravity, magnetic, and seismic information in the area. Some 15,000 linear miles of coverage were obtained on 33 east-west traverses spaced ten miles apart, 6 north-south traverses, and 12 irregularly oriented lines.
