Following the success of previous core workshop, PESA SA/NT is pleased to announce this year’s full-day core workshop at the South Australia Drill Core Reference Library in Tonsley on Friday 21st November 08.30am – 4.00pm.

This year’s workshop takes a quick look at a diverse set of cores from the Warburton Basin, Daralingie Shelf area, focusing on generating gross depositional environment (GDE) concepts and prospectivity.

Chris Cubitt will host the workshop with participants first gaining an understanding of key cores with focus on defining depositional concepts. Subsequently, in the afternoon teams will be encouraged to start building GDE concepts to guide seismic-based GDE mapping seismic. A final discussion on prospectivity and play concepts will wrap up the day.

The workshop will finish around 4.00pm, with an optional stop at the Mantra Tonsley Hotel.

Who should attend? Exploration and development geoscientists, sedimentologists, petrophysicists, engineers, academics & geoscience students who wish to view Warburton Basin petroleum core and get exposed to the GDE mapping workflow.

Cost: $25 for PESA Members, $35 for Non-Members, free for students (up to five places). Includes a sandwich lunch.

Bookings close 5pm on Monday 17^th November unless sold out prior. Places are limited so please book early.

Location: The South Australia Drill Core Reference Library is located in the heart of the newly revitalised Tonsley Precinct, adjacent to South Road. Attendees should make their own way to the Tonsley Precinct. There is ample car parking and public transport (by road or rail).
