PESA’s latest Core Values session, A Walk Through Dorado, brought together 26 geoscientists for an afternoon of core observation, interpretation and lively discussion around one of Australia’s significant offshore discoveries.
The session began with Roisin McGee providing an introduction to the Dorado Field and its geological setting, establishing the context for the core workshop that followed. Participants then worked their way through cores from Dorado-2 and Dorado-3, examining a succession of deltaic and shoreface facies and discussing their interpretation and depositional environments.
Simon Lang led much of the discussion, encouraging participants to look closely at the sedimentological features preserved in the core and consider what they reveal about the evolution of the depositional system. Fiona Burns and Greg Smith added further insights, contributing to the interpretation of the succession.
The informal format encouraged participants to exchange ideas, challenge interpretations and share their sedimentological experience, making the session valuable for both learning and discussion. The cores provided an excellent opportunity to consider the vertical and lateral relationships of facies is such depositional environments, and their implications for reservoir architecture.
