SUMMARY:PESA WA - The Mungaroo - Brigadier Depositional System\, Northwest Shelf Australia: A Fluvial-Deltaic Reservoir Core Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Supported by Santos Ltd.\nPESA WA \n3rd October 2025\, 9:00 – 1600 Carlisle Core Library\nThe Mungaroo – Brigadier Depositional System\, Northwest Shelf Australia: A Fluvial-Deltaic Reservoir Core Workshop\nThe Late Triassic Mungaroo and Brigadier Formations in the offshore Northern Carnarvon Basin\, NWS\, Australia\, are the deposits of enormous very low-gradient rivers that fed an intracratonic basin. In such a very low gradient setting\, the rivers expand across a broad distributive deltaic plain\, as sediments spill out of channels into vast interdistributary bays. River distributaries reaching the coast deposit thin\, asymmetrical wave-reworked delta sands. Avulsion of rivers laterally over hundreds of kilometres shifts the locus of deposition\, allowing weak waves and tides time to rework sediments at bay mouths into shoreface sands with tidal inlets. Sea level variations can cause shorelines to shift long distances across these low-gradient alluvial-deltaic plains. \nStandard facies models for fluvial-deltaic systems\, which generally focus on higher gradient settings\, do not provide a suitable template for predicting subsurface facies variations within the Mungaroo and Brigadier deposits. In higher gradient settings\, a river crosses thin delta top deposits to feed a thick\, basinward-thickening deltaic wedge\, with the bulk of river-sourced sediments spread down steep deltaic clinoforms offshore. In very low-gradient settings\, a river loses the competency to carry its sediment load to the coast\, and the bulk of the sediment is extracted on the deltaic plains. Deposits in the expanding network of channels\, on floodplain splays and brackish bay deltas\, and within thin shoreline successions define a unique facies mosaic. \nIn this workshop\, participants can observe the low-gradient fluvial-deltaic facies of the Mungaroo and Brigadier systems in core from the Northwest Shelf of Australia. Brief presentations will introduce conceptual models\, set the stage\, and provide a seismic-scale view of this system. Deposits of the major river in more proximal areas of the system are studied in core from Clio and Saty fields. Lower delta plain and river-dominated bay delta deposits are examined in core from Chandon field. Wave-reworked shoreline deposits will be visible in core from Wheatstone field. Together\, these cores provide a sampling of the facies mosaic deposited by these low-gradient systems. By the end of the workshop\, participants will have gained a better understanding of facies models for low-gradient fluvial-deltaic systems. Mungaroo and Brigadier deposits host world-class hydrocarbon reserves\, which require advanced facies predictions to support subsurface modelling and development predictions. Low-gradient fluvial-deltaic facies are essential components of most shallow marine clastic wedges\, particularly during the early highstand when deltaic systems prograde on top of transgressive shelf deposits. The workshop offers participants a broader perspective on fluvial-deltaic facies models\, extending beyond the standard textbook examples. \n  \nSchedule \n9:00 ─ Safety & Introductions \n9:20 ─ Topic #1: Fluvial deposit architecture defined by process models and concepts (Willis: 20 min) \n9:40 ─ Topic #2: Mungaroo-Brigadier System (Lang: 20 min) \n10:00 ─ Topic #3: Mungaroo fluvial hierarchy and down-basin variations (Payenberg: 20 min) \n10:30 ─ Tea break \n10:45 ─ Start Core #1: Mungaroo fluvial (Clio 2 and Satyr 3) \n11:45 ─ Discussion (core review) \n12:00 ─ Lunch \n12:45 ─ Short topic #1 (20 min plus Q&A) High- vs low-slope systems & asymmetric deltas \n13:10 ─ Start core #2: Chandon 2 (Mungaroo lower delta plain and delta front) \n14:00 ─ 14:15 ─ Tea break \n14:30 ─ Start core #3: Wheatstone 2 BCH1ST1 (Brigadier asymmetric wave-influenced delta) \n15:30 ─ Wrap-up discussion \n15:45 ─ Finish \n16:00 ─ Core store closes \nOrganisers: Dr. Brian Willis (Consultant) Dr. Tobi Payenberg (Chevron) & Prof. Simon Lang (UWA) \nHard limit of 30 attendees.  \n  \nCost:  \nPESA Members:  $250 \nPESA Student Members $100 \n  \nThis event is for PESA WA members only.

SUMMARY:Basins Workshop 2025
DESCRIPTION:Basins Workshop 2025 \n\n\nThe 2025 Basins Workshop will take place on Monday 1 and Tuesday 2 December 2025 at Curtin University\, Perth in association with PESA WA Branch.  The aim of the workshop is to provide an informal forum for the exchange of insights and ideas regarding the evolution of sedimentary basins in Australia and around the world\, and the diverse resources they contain\, including hydrocarbons\, minerals\, geothermal energy\, natural hydrogen\, and the potential for CO2 and hydrogen storage. \nTalks are limited to 10 minutes in duration\, with ample time for discussion\, so we are looking for thought provoking ideas\, rather than polished conference presentations. To participate all you need to do is to send the title of your proposed presentation to basinsworkshop2025@gmail.com by Friday 17 October 2025 – abstracts and/or written papers are not required. \nThere is no cost for registration\, but in the first instance participation is restricted to those expressing interest in making a presentation (whether or not your presentation is finally selected for inclusion in the programme).  Additional places will then be made available to co-authors and others interested in attending\, according to demand.

SUMMARY:PESA WA: Introduction to Play Mapping
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA invites you to a two-day course on Wednesday 10 June and Thursday 11 June at the Shoe Bar\, Yagan Square\, Perth\nIntroduction to Play Mapping\nPresented by: Dr Darren Ferdinando (Basin Science)\n\nObjectives\nThis course is designed to introduce geological play mapping for oil and gas exploration. It is aimed at geoscientists who are interested in applying the concepts of hydrocarbon play mapping to identify areas of high and low prospectivity in terms of the key play elements –\nreservoir\, seal\, trap and charge and using these to identify hydrocarbon potential across scales from permit to basin-wide assessments for quick-screening of new ventures opportunities through to detailed play assessments of core areas. Over two days participants will be shown: \n\nMethodologies for breaking a stratigraphic succession into a series of meaningful and manageable plays with emphasis on using sequence stratigraphic concepts\nWhat comprises the key play elements in a play and how to characterise them\nPost-Drill Assessment of petroleum wells for play mapping\nMapping out Gross Depositional Environments across a play\nVarious styles of play mapping from simple ‘Traffic Light’ mapping through to detailed split risk maps and the scenarios in which they are used\nIntegration of play maps with Prospects and Leads and how to apply various risking schemes (e.g. 4-factor risking\, 5-factor risking etc) to the play mapping\nBasin-wide assessment of multiple plays\nDiscussion of examples of play mapping across several onshore and offshore Australian Basins and the benefits and pitfalls of a variety of play mapping methodologies\n\nContent\nThe process of play mapping incorporates assimilating data from petroleum wells\, seismic data\, sequence stratigraphy\, remoting sensing (magnetic and gravity) data and other sources and combining this data into a spatially meaningful and consistent set of maps that highlight areas of high\, medium and low prospectivity as an aid for exploration. Play mapping can be used in a range of ways from screening large areas for new ventures or gazettal assessments\, determination of areas with lower potential to relinquish in a permit renewal\, or even to identify frontier areas with the high potential to acquire new data across. Participants will work through the core concepts in play mapping through presentations and a series of interactive activities and hands-on exercises in play mapping using data from Australian basins to create play and gross depositional environment maps. \n\nTicket Prices: \nMembers: $750.00 \nNon-Members: $1000 \nStudents: $200.00 (NB – one place only available) \nPlease note that this event will be held on Wednesday and Thursday 10 & 11 June 2026 at The Shoe Bar (Yagan Square\, Perth). \n

SUMMARY:PESA WA: Core Values Session #2
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA is excited to invite you to our second Core Values Session for 2026 on Friday 26 June at the Perth Core Library:\nHarvey Field Cores\nPresented by Cedric Griffiths (StrataMod Pty Ltd)\n\nThe cores will be used to re-examine the assumptions behind the CSIRO 2011/12 Sedsim forward stratigraphic model of Permian/Early Triassic sediment depositional environment which was run prior to obtaining the Harvey-1 well results. \nPrior to the drilling of Harvey-1 Schlumberger had developed a depositional concept model that assumed most of the sediment being transported westwards from the Darling Scarp in the form of alluvial fans. \nThe Sedsim model had most of the sediment being provided by a large river system from the south\, sourced from Antarctic mountain sources prior to break-up\, with minor input from the eastern fault block after “Tectonic and Stratigraphic History of the Perth Basin\, Norvick\, M.S. GA 2004”. \nChanges in palynology\, sedimentation style\, ichnofabric data\, and trace-fossils in wells from south to north and east to west will be discussed and at the session the interactive Sedsim forward model results that exhibit the proposed deposition system will be run. \n\n\nTicket Prices: \nMembers: $10.00 \nNon-Members: $20.00 \nPlease note that this event will be held on Friday 26 June 2026 at The Perth Core Library (37 Harris Street\, Carlisle). Participants are welcome to bring their own lunch. \nParticipants are invited to the Balmoral Hotel (901 Albany Highway\, Victoria Park) afterwards to continue discussions.
