WA Golf Day Gallery

23/12/2019 by Helen

The recent WA golf day at Joondalup Resort was a wonderful way to round up the year. Below is the gallery of some of the most memorable shots.

For details on the event, visit the event page.

Fortunately the forecasts of +40 degree heat on the day of our golf event were unfounded, and everyone enjoyed the day, which actually only maxed out at 33 degrees.

There was lots of fun on course, with the charity hole being run by the committee. Plenty of balls got lost down into the quarry...

PESA WA November Evening Talk

12/11/2019 by Dale Granger

Andrew Pitchford, GM Subsurface and Phil Woods, Senior Geophysicist from Western Gas presented their latest findings of the Sasanof Prospect in block WA-519-P, to a sell out crowd at The George in the CBD. The Mentorc Gas discovery by HESS Australia (now Western Gas) opened up the Barrow Delta Topset stratigraphic play to more exploration in the Northern Carnarvon Basin. Mentorc, up to 30% porosity and 12 Darcy permeability, is fill to spill and Sasanof may be where all the spilling gas is...

PESA WA Branch Winter Warmer 2019

09/07/2019 by Alison McLeod

It’s that blessed time of year when the PESA Winter Warmer provides respite from the weather’s ravages and solace from EOFY traumas. This year, PESA secured the prestigious surroundings of the Celtic Club in West Perth and on a decidedly chilly Friday evening in July a glass of mulled wine on arrival was most welcome. A record turnout of over 80 souls enjoyed the delicious lip-smacking food platters and beverage selection. Conversations were long and florid and went on for many...

PESA WA May Evening Talk – Laurence Letki

29/05/2019 by Alison McLeod

Laurence Letki’s presentation highlighted wave-equation based techniques, such as full waveform inversion (FWI), as an integral addition to the modeling toolbox. The talk demonstrated how modern computing power allows the use of high frequencies in FWI and the resultant resolution of finer details. The presentation was held at “The George” on Tuesday 21st May. Many thanks to Discover Geoscience, our evening talk sponsor.

PESA WA May Branch Luncheon

21/05/2019 by Alison McLeod

“If you’ve got an unconventionals focused geologist in your company, go talk to them, you might be surprised at the learnings applicable to conventional hydrocarbon accumulations”. That was the takeaway from Avon McIntyre’s WA Branch May luncheon talk - “Bursting Source Rock and Strange Hydrocarbon Occurrences Around the World”. The presentation challenged attendees' thoughts on maturation, migration and charge-timing (all may be later than we think) through analysis of...

Kevin Hill’s course on Structural Geology for Petroleum systems

23/11/2018 by Alison McLeod

PESA WA was lucky enough to be able to persuade Kevin Hill to travel across to Perth in order to give us a 4 day training course on structural geology. For the group who attended this was a solid learning experience covering techniques and examples that helped us rethink the way we go about interpreting. Throughout the 4 days, we covered structural examples from extensional regimes, compressional, strike slip, and also salt. This was accompanied by numerous hands on exercises where we...
