Geological models are used to help with our geo-predictions up and down dip. We usually only have a few one-dimensional control points (wells) and a seismic grid to predict reservoirs, seals and source in our acreage. Seismic is often used only structurally, and if stratigraphy is contemplated, it is often via a few simplistic amplitude extractions. The latter many a time do not show anything stratigraphically useful, and we have to” go down a few burrows”.
One of the burrows is...
Rick Wilkinson, editor of new report released by independent energy consultancy EnergyQuest, West Coast Gas Outlook 2024 – Calm before the storm?, shows that WA’s domestic gas market is likely to see significant supply shortfalls from 2029 onwards.
The West Coast Gas Outlook 2024 shows the WA Government didn’t need to make major changes to its Domestic Gas Policy to ensure sufficient domestic gas supply over the next four years, but we are in the calm before the storm and...

Petroleum exploration expenditure in 2023 increased modestly over that of 2022. But remains well below expenditure highs of a decade ago, which was dominated by offshore activity. Exploration expenditure, and activity, is now dominant in onshore state jurisdictions. This has been the case since 2019 and will continue with no Federal offshore...
88 people attended the WA October evening talk on the prospectivity of the Perth Basin. This talk was given by Simon Molyneux at the Pan Pacific Hotel on Adelaide Terrace.
Australian scientists have modelled a way to determine how many cases of COVID-19 could be travelling on any international flight, based on data from the first six months of the pandemic, which could help Australian authorities make decisions about incoming international travel.
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...
