PESA SA/NT September Technical Luncheon “Cretaceous depositional environment interpretation of offshore Otway Basin cores and wireline logs”

Thursday, 28 September, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 2:30 pm (Australia/Adelaide time)

$25.00 – $95.00

Guest Speaker(s): Dr Chris Cubitt

Dr Chris Cubitt graduated from the University of Adelaide with a PhD in diagenesis and sedimentology. He has more than two decades of industry experience in reservoir and regional geology working basins worldwide and particularly enjoys distilling the details contained in seismic, wireline, core and cuttings to scale appropriate conclusions. Chris has given public and inhouse industry courses on GDE-based play analysis, rock typing (drill cuttings) and given numerous core workshops including most recently, for APPEA, in early 2023 on selected Patchawarra cores in the Cooper Basin (SA). In 2021 he joined Geoscience Australia’s offshore Otway team as a Senior Basin Analyst and most recently started with South Australia’s Department for Energy and Mining (DEM) as a Deputy Director. Chris is an author of more than 20 publications, is a member PESA, IAS and the EAGE.

Abstract

Gas production from the Inner Otway Basin commenced in the early 2000s but the deep-water part of this basin remains an exploration frontier. Historically, the understanding of plays in this region were largely model driven and therefore the ground-truthing of depositional environments (DE) and gross depositional environments (GDE) are critical. This aspect has been investigated for the Sherbrook Supersequence (SS) by the integration of legacy wireline and core data, with regional 2D seismic facies mapping of new and reprocessed data from Geoscience Australia’s 2020 Otway Basin seismic program. Core observations were matched to wireline logs and seismic facies with resulting well based DE interpretations calibrated to seismic resolution Regional GDE intervals. Integration of well and seismic observations lead to the compilation of a basin-wide Regional GDE map for the Sherbrook SS. This GDE map indicates the distribution of Sherbrook SS play elements such as source rock, seal and reservoir, especially across the Deep Water Otway Basin where well data is sparse.
