PESA ACT Technical Seminar: Capreolus 3D seismic data
Abstract: The Polarcus Capreolus 3D multi-client survey covers some 22,130 sq km across the North Carnarvon and Bedout Sub-basins, including coverage over the Phoenix South-1 oil field discovery well which was drilled in an area which was previously assumed to be gas prone. This oil discovery opened up a new oil-prone fairway within one of the few remaining underexplored sections of the North-West Shelf and initiated new interest in the area. The successful flow test of the Roc-2 well from…

PESA ACT Technical Seminar: Sediment provenance of Mungaroo Delta
Abstract: The fluvio-deltaic Triassic Mungaroo Formation, North West Shelf of Australia, hosts vast resources of hydrocarbons, however its sediment provenance remains controversial. Better understanding of sediment provenance and dispersal has implications for the characterization of reservoir quality and potential correlation between known reservoirs and reservoirs yet to be discovered. To better fingerprint the sediment sources of the major peaks in the zircon age distribution of the Mungaroo Formation we compared new Hf isotopic data from previously dated detrital zircons from…

PESA Vic/Tas November Technical Meeting – Otway and Gippsland Basin Stratigraphic and Structural traps defined by AVO responses
Clearview Oil and Gas has consulted to 3D Oil on its Gippsland and Otway Basin acreage and has found through careful AVO analysis and review several interesting amplitude relate anomalies with fit to structure and meaningful economic potential. Gippsland Basin has proven a difficult Basin for AVO analysis dues to the presence of hard sands and low GOR or dead oil. In the gas case however there has been some success with AVO being of assistance in recognition of…

PESA ACT Technical Seminar – Uncovering the Canning Basin: A New Comprehensive SEEBASE® Model
A new regional scale SEEBASE® model has been produced for the intracratonic Canning Basin, located in the north of Western Australia. The 2017 Canning Basin SEEBASE model is more than an order of magnitude higher resolution than the 2005 OZ SEEBASE version (Frogtech, 2005) — the average resolution is ~1:1M scale with higher resolution in areas of shallow basement with 2D seismic coverage — such as the Broome Platform and Barbwire Terrace. Post–2005 acquisition of potential field, seismic and well…
