SUMMARY:2023 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: Why We Lose Women From Geosciences - Evidence-Based Causes and Solutions (WOMEESA Network)
DESCRIPTION:Kindly supported by Rock Flow dynamics  \n  \nThis live webinar will take place at: \n11am              – Perth\n12.30pm       – Darwin\, Adelaide\n1pm                – Brisbane\, Canberra\, Hobart\, Melbourne\, Sydney \nUse the calendar link on this page to add this event in to your own calendar at the correct local time for your location. \nTickets are free for members (please log in to see this) and $10 for non members. \nPlease buy your tickets and immediately follow the link in the ticket e-mail (not the calendar invite or this webpage\, which is just generic and not event specific) to set up your registration with the webinar software well in advance of the time of the talk. Once registered with the webinar software you will receive a reminder e-mail 1 hour beforehand. \nWhy We Lose Women From Geosciences – Evidence-Based Causes and Solutions \nPresented by Erin Martin (IGO / Women in Earth And Environmental Sciences in Australasia) \nAbstract \n\nDiversity and inclusion in the workplace optimise performance through the input of a range of perspectives and approaches that drive innovation. However\, gender inequity is prevalent in STEM\, and women remain underrepresented in geosciences.  \nIn tertiary geoscience education globally\, there is an approximately even gender split that persists into research degrees. However\, the number of women begins to decrease from workforce entry\, becoming progressively worse at higher levels. In academia\, this presents as the “leaky pipeline” where the gender split at postdoctoral levels (often short-term fixed contract) is relatively even and there is a sharp decline in women entering continuing (tenured) positions and going on to senior (Professor) levels. In the minerals industry\, the most male-dominated industry in Australia comprising only 17% women\, most women are in non-geoscience roles. In mining\, there is a strong divergence in the proportion of men and women at increasingly senior levels\, with 92% of CEO positions held by men.  \nResearch into the causes of the Leaky Pipeline reveals that there are numerous contributing factors including unconscious bias against women\, lack of role models\, workplace arrangements that don’t suit mothers\, barriers to awards and jobs\, unequal access to parental leave\, bad experiences during fieldwork and sexual assault and harassment.  \nThe elimination of sexual assault and harassment through the pervasive implementation of recommendations handed down from Parliamentary inquiries and institutional and corporate investigations is essential for creating a safe space for women in Geoscience. Communication and implementation of best-practice\, evidence-based approaches\, and solutions to the many other factors contributing to the loss of women from geoscience will be valuable in creating positive change. Improved efforts to understand and address the reasons why women leave geoscience careers will help to repair the “leaky pipeline”. \nAbout the Women in Earth and Environmental Sciences in Australasia Network (WOMEESA) \n\nWOMEESA formed during the Inaugural Dorothy Hill Women in Earth Sciences Symposium in November 2017 identifying a need to bring together women in Earth and Environmental Sciences throughout Australasia.

SUMMARY:PESA WA June Technical lunch talk - Monitoring of the reservoir pressure & saturation changes using Extended Elastic Impedance from time lapse seismic data: Enfield Field
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB \n  \n \nGold Sponsors Katalyst Data Management\, Applied Geoscience\, Delft Inversion and DUG \n                \n                                                \nand Silver Sponsor Qeye \n \n  \nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 15th June\n\n“Monitoring reservoir pressure and saturation changes using extended elastic impedence from time lapse seismic data: Enfield Field\, NW Australia”\nPresented by Sergey Shevchenko\, SIS Exploration Pty Ltd\nThe Extended Elastic Impedance (EEI) concept has been used by the oil industry primarily for lithology and fluid prediction. We present a method of reservoir monitoring that calculates changes in pressure and saturation in a producing reservoir by applying EEI to time-lapse seismic data. The method uses time-lapse seismic difference data rotated to specific EEI χ angles which are optimised for the changes expected in a given reservoir. One angle is found to be appropriate to identify predicted changes in saturation\, using fluid substitution models\, while the other angle is found from rock-physics assumptions or laboratory measurements of fluid-pressure changes. \nOur technique is tested using time-lapse seismic data for the Enfield oil field\, in the North West Shelf\, Australia\, with estimates of optimal EEI rotation angles χ based on log data and Biot-Gassmann modelling for the fluid changes\, and on rock physics models fit to measurements made on core samples for the pressure changes. Reflectivity and inversion domains were used using various approaches to test results qualitatively and quantitively. \nThe final calculated pressure and saturation maps predicted areas where changes in pressure and/or saturation changes were expected. It was successfully tested with two areas of changing the pressure from the well data\, showing that our quantitative results are credible. Additionally\, our results coincide with the Enfield operator’s maps for pressure and saturation predictions. \n  \nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $69.00 \nConcession Member [Retired\, Graduate or Hardship] (Early Bird): $59.00 \nStudent Member (Early Bird): $39.00 \nNon-Member: $99.00 \nMember (Non-Early Bird): $79.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST).

SUMMARY:PESA QLD: AGM and Technical Lunch\, 22nd June : Melbana Energy in Cuba – an exploration success in the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:This month PESA Queensland welcomes Duncan Lockhart to present a technical luncheon highlighting Melbana Energy’s activities and the complex and fascinating geology of Cuba. \nThe Technical Lunch will be held at the Brisbane Hilton Hotel\, in Room 83 (Level 8). \nThe Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the PESA QLD Branch will be hosted prior to the commencement of the Technical Lunch. \nFor detailed directions\, see explanation below. \nPlease note the Early Bird ticket pricing cut-off times described below. \n\n\n\nPresentation:\nMelbana Energy in Cuba – an exploration success in the Caribbean\n\n\nVenue:\nHilton Hotel Brisbane\, 190 Elizabeth Street\, Brisbane QLD 4000\nRoom 83\, Level 8\n(Detailed directions below)\n\n\nDate & Time:\nThursday\, 22 June 12:15 PM\n\n\n\n  \nPresentation Abstract: \nIn September 2015 Melbana Energy was awarded the Block 9 PSC\, an onshore block on the north coast of Cuba which covers over 2\,344 km2. The block is 140km east of Havana in a proven hydrocarbon system and on trend with the multi-billion barrel Varadero oil field. Cuba currently produces approximately 45\,000 barrels of oil per day and 3 million cubic metres of gas. Oil production meets 50% of the domestic consumption\, with the balance satisfied by imports. Most of the oil industry is currently operated by the national oil company\, CUPET. The Canadian company\, Sherritt International\, has been producing oil in Cuba for over 25 years. \nThe geology of northern Cuba is dominated by complex fold and thrust belt geology which has encapsulated rich source rocks\, fractured carbonate reservoirs\, serpentinitic shales and ophiolites. Seismic data in Block 9 is limited to various vintages of 2D data of generally poor quality. Melbana has drilled two exploration wells to date in Block 9\, the first well Alameda-1 was spudded in September 2021 and drilled to a depth of 4000m. This well encountered continuous oil shows from as shallow as 400m with oil regularly flowing over the shakers while drilling. Several high-pressure zones were encountered whilst drilling reflecting the intersection of separate pressure compartments bounded by various thrust faults. A total of 218m of net log pay was encountered (precluding zones which could not be logged due to adverse hole conditions). A total of 6.4 billion barrels OOIP with 362 mmbbls of P50 prospective resource have subsequently been independently certified at Alameda based on seismic mapping and the well result. The second well Zapato-1 reached a total depth of 3700m. Oil was observed flowing over the shakers at the top of the ophiolite sequence from a fault zone indicating access to a mature oil generative system below the ophiolites\, unfortunately the well reached TD still within the ophiolites\, above the anticipated reservoir section. A review of the gravity and magnetic model is underway to ascertain a more favourable location for a potential Zapato follow up. \nA two well appraisal campaign designed with the prime objective to obtain a measure flow rate of the Alameda numerous discovery zones is on track to spud at the end of June 2023. \n  \n  \n\nTickets for the Technical Luncheon can be purchased below. \nPlease be advised of the early bird cut-off date. \nEarly bird pricing will remain available up until Wednesday\, 14 June 11:30 PM  after which\, standard pricing will come into effect. \nFinal numbers to venue required by Monday\, 19 June 12:00 PM – To avoid disappointment please register before that date and time. \n  \n\n\n\n\nEarly Bird Ticket Price\nStandard Ticket Price\n\n\n\n\nPESA Members – $55\nNon-Members – $75\nStudent / Retired Members – $30\nPESA Members – $75\nNon-Members – $95\nStudent / Retired Members – $30\n\n\n\n\nRegistrants may elect to book a ‘Talk Only’ ticket below.  Chairs will be made available at the back of the room for members wishing to attend the presentation. \nTalk Only tickets are free of charge\, however\, no refreshments or lunch is included. \n\nPESA QLD 2023 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING\nThe Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the PESA QLD Branch will be hosted prior to the commencement of the Technical Lunch. \nMembers are encouraged to attend the AGM to have their say with the PESA QLD committee. \nPESA QLD are always interested to have active involvement from our membership… and what better way than to take up a position on the PESA QLD Committee!  Interested members who are keen to become a committee member are encouraged to lodge a nomination form (see link below).  Any member is invited to nominate for any of the available roles detailed on the Nomination form.  Any questions\, please email qld-secretary@pesa.com.au \nPlease find below the requisite AGM governance documents for distribution to members\, provided at least 21 days ahead of the AGM as required by the PESA Constitution: \nAgenda AGM 2023\nProxy Form\nMinutes of 2022 AGM\nNomination form\n2022 President’s Report \n\nThe venue location can be accessed by two means: \n1) Entry from Queen Street Mall\nTake the lifts to Level 6\, and walk to the guest lifts located in the centre of the main atrium and take the lift to Level 8.

Once registered with the webinar software you will receive a reminder e-mail 1 hour beforehand. \nThe Value of Knowledge Sharing in Bringing CCS Projects to Life \nPresented by Conway Nelson (The International CCS Knowledge Centre) \nAbstract \n\nThe capture and storage of CO2 (CCS) from heavy industry has long been recognized as a critical component of achieving a carbon-neutral and sustainable energy future. However\, the deployment of large-scale CCS projects has lagged behind rates proposed by organizations like the International Energy Agency and the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Recent developments indicate a shift in this trend. The social and economic value of CCS is increasingly acknowledged\, as well as its contribution to energy security and sustainability\, leading to higher public support and capital investment. As a result\, the global pipeline of CCS projects is growing\, with the increase in potential capture capacity rising from 75 million tonnes per year in 2022 to 320 million tonnes per year in March of 2023. \nDespite aspirations\, only a handful of CCS projects have been built and brought successfully into operation. The reasons are multifaceted\, including technical\, engineering\, economic\, financial\, and political challenges. To maximize the chances of success for current projects\, it is imperative that lessons learned from previous experience are applied\, to reduce risk\, lower costs and improve the performance of the next generation of CCS technologies. \nThe International CCS Knowledge Centre is one of the world’s leading curators of knowledge and lessons from CCS projects across heavy-emitting industries including power generation\, oil and gas production\, mining\, and cement\, steel and fertilizer manufacturing. Using its unique expertise\, the Knowledge Centre provides independent advice to help companies successfully navigate the myriad technical\, economic\, policy and stakeholder issues that accompany the development of major CCS projects. The Knowledge Centre’s experience is based in Canada\, which is a world leader in CCS development with five of the 30 industrial-scale CCS projects globally\, including the ground-breaking SaskPower Boundary Dam 3 CCS Facility (BD3 CCS facility)\, the world’s first fully integrated post-combustion CCS facility on a coal fired power plant. \nSaskPower’s BD3 CCS facility has effectively captured and sequestered over 5 million tonnes of CO2 since 2014\, with a 90% capture capability. As global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions gain momentum\, it becomes increasingly vital for there to be real-world examples of successful implementation of large-scale CCS technologies. The BD3 CCS facility provides those critical lessons learned and has paved the way for innovation\, increased efficiency and lower costs in future iterations of the technology across all industries. It has proven the feasibility of CCS technology at a commercial scale and provides a framework for governments and companies considering implementation. From this experience\, the Knowledge Centre has derived a set of technical\, strategic and regulatory insights and lessons that are applicable to the next generation of large-scale CCS projects across heavy-emitting industries\, and has developed a set of prioritized questions that potential project developers must ask in order to maximise the chances of a successful project.

The presentation highlights how to address issues such as data scarcity and methods for screening out areas for potential injector target selection. We will then take the model into simulation and visualize parameters critical to CCS such as plume behaviour\, trapping mechanisms\, and plume size. A geomechanics solver was also utilized to assess the seal integrity of the structural trap and the risk of potential fracture generation. The model was also taken into an integrated uncertainty study to assess the impact of operational and geological inputs on the total storage capacity of the formation.

Despite some degrees of ambiguity in the regulations for the monitoring requirements\, all regulators require that the operator to monitor the injection\, migration and stabilisation of the plume. 20+ years of post-injection monitoring itself can be a costly task which requires careful planning. \nThe essence of monitoring lies in the continuous assessment of the behaviour and movement of the CO2 plume within the geological storage site. This includes measurements of pressure\, temperature\, and saturation (or their changes) of the underground reservoir where the CO2 is stored. By monitoring these parameters\, the operator can ensure that the stored CO2 is being contained as intended and is not leaking into the atmosphere or triggering any unwanted effects such as seismic activity. \nVerification\, on the other hand\, focuses on confirming the accurate placement and containment of the CO2 within the storage site. This involves the use of various monitoring techniques\, such as seismic surveys\, well logging\, and pressure testing\, to assess the integrity of the storage reservoir and detect any potential leaks or migration pathways. Verification is crucial in ensuring the long-term safety and reliability of CCS projects. \nMonitoring plans are very site specific\, but the learnings can be carried over to other projects. This talk aims to introduce some elements of risking that are to be considered for any monitoring plan and how they may be addressed.

SUMMARY:PESA WA August Technical Lunch:  Flexible Solutions for both CCS Measurement\, Monitoring\, and Verification (MMV) and Offshore Windfarm Developments
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB \n  \n \nGold Sponsors Katalyst Data Management\, Applied Geoscience\, Delft Inversion\, DUG and IKON Science \n                \n                                                \n \nand Silver Sponsor Qeye \n \n  \nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 17th August\nFlexible Solutions for both CCS Measurement\, Monitoring\, and Verification (MMV) and Offshore Windfarm Developments \nPresented by Andrew Long (PGS) \nMeasurement\, Monitoring\, and Verification (MMV) are essential to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects\, ensuring their effectiveness\, safety\, and regulatory compliance. Precise CO2 emission measurements\, ongoing project performance monitoring\, and independent data verification provide stakeholder confidence in the CCS system’s greenhouse gas reduction\, safe operation\, and prompt issue resolution. \nLikewise\, developing ground models for offshore wind turbine placement demands a comprehensive approach that addresses various geotechnical\, geophysical\, regulatory\, and stakeholder aspects. \nA common element should be that any ‘baseline’ geophysical platform is built to best practice standards for both CCS and Wind projects. For CCS\, accurate subsurface characterization ensures reliable site candidate selection and ranking\, facilitating the deployment of appropriate monitoring technologies post-CO2 injection in a cost-effective manner. Similarly\, high-resolution 3D geophysical data for Wind projects enable the development of an accurate 3D ground model for integrating subsequent geotechnical and geophysical measurements\, reducing the need for costly new surveys when adjusting turbine foundation locations. \nThis talk comprises four stages: \n\nI present AI\, machine learning\, and automation solutions to enhance the petrophysical and geological understanding of near-surface and overburden areas crucial for both CCS containment and Wind projects.\nI outline an efficient workflow for CCS site screening\, focusing on Container and Containment elements.\nI briefly discuss methods for acquiring high-resolution (HR) and ultra-high-resolution (UHR) seismic data cost-effectively\, including suggestions for congested infrastructure areas where traditional seismic surveys are logistically challenging.\nI describe subsurface characterization (both CCS and Wind) and monitoring solutions (for CCS) that leverage innovations from stages 1 and 3.\n\n\nEvent Sponsors: \n \nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $69.00 \nConcession Member [Retired\, Graduate or Hardship] (Early Bird): $59.00 \nStudent Member (Early Bird): $39.00 \nNon-Member: $99.00 \nMember (Non-Early Bird): $79.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST). All ticket sales close at 5pm Tuesday (2 days prior). \n

DESCRIPTION:Kindly supported by Rock Flow dynamics  \n  \nThis live webinar will take place at: \n11am              – Perth \n12.30pm       – Darwin\, Adelaide \n1pm                – Brisbane\, Canberra\, Hobart\, Melbourne\, Sydney \n  \nUse the calendar link on this page to add this event in to your own calendar at the correct local time for your location. \nTickets are free for members (please log in to see this) and $10 for non members. \nPlease buy your tickets and immediately follow the link in the ticket e-mail (not the calendar invite or this webpage\, which is just generic and not event specific) to set up your registration with the webinar software well in advance of the time of the talk. Once registered with the webinar software you will receive a reminder e-mail 1 hour beforehand. \nMachine Learning and Intelligent Augmentation Applied to Legacy Subsurface Data \nPresented by Jess Kozman (Katalyst Data Management) \nAbstract \n\nRecent emphasis on low carbon energy projects in Australia  means large volumes of unstructured subsurface data become valuable to operators. . The need to  evaluate reservoirs for energy or carbon storage or light gas extraction means a requirement to de-risk geographic search and  make machine-readable text available for advanced data science algorithms. Companies with access to data gain a competitive advantage in licensing activities. Exisiting data management workflows may be too costly and resource intensive to support these emerging requirements. \nWe highlight how a  workflow using Machine Learning (ML) and Intelligence Augmentation (IA) can improve the efficiency of a typical data management workflow. Our example involves manually identifying relevant well logs in images from collection of tens of thousands of file types\, a typical task for an operator using open-file data in Australia. The current process may involve downloading from multiple state and federal repositories and manually entering indexing metadata into internal data repositories. \nWe have developed internal ML/AI data extraction workflows that that streamline automatically separating well log image files\, extracting mandatory indexing meta-data\, and presenting model-trained choices to end-users for adjustment and verification. The full solution involves image classification\, enhanced Optical Character Recognition(OCR)\, Natural Language Processing (NLP) for keyword labels and values\, and a User Interface (UI) that delivers and documents increased data quality and confidence metrics.

While CCS “looks like” a familiar oil and gas operation\, the rationale\, business case\, regulation and social license environment are very different. While these differences are crucial\, there are many less obvious but equally important technical differences in how CCS is implemented\, compared to the oil and gas paradigm. This course of seminars will explore what’s different about CCS. \nSite Selection and Characterisation – What’s Different About CCS? – Tess Dance (CSIRO) \nAbstract \n\nThe goal for carbon dioxide storage site selection and characterisation is to find a suitable location where an effective reservoir exists\, matched to a CO2 source in both volume and injection rate. To ensure the CO2 is safely contained\, the relative contribution of key trapping mechanisms need to be defined\, thus reducing adverse risks to natural resources or the community. In Australia\, the framework for offshore CO2 storage has been adapted from petroleum legislation. The tools\, processes\, and methodologies also mirror those developed in the search for oil and gas\, and one might think it’s simpler since factors like establishing there has been sufficient charge can be bypassed. Indeed\, to avert conflicts over resources\, locations where hydrocarbons are less likely to be found are preferred. However\, this preference leads to a quandary: how do we ascertain storage potential in areas lacking prior exploration data? Given this situation\, many assume that depleted fields are attractive options\, with minimal risk and uncertainty due to their history of retaining hydrocarbons and the extensive characterization by prior operators. But these sites bring their own unique set of challenges. In this first talk of the series we will introduce screening criteria required to find prospective CCS sites and some Australian examples where we show “what’s different about CCS”? \nSpeaker Biography \nDr Tess Dance has a PhD from the University of Adelaide in Petroleum Geoscience\, and over twenty years of experience in basin analysis and reservoir characterisation for geological storage of Carbon Dioxide. Dr Dance is the author of numerous high impact publications in the field of CO2 geological storage\, monitoring and verification\, and has specialised knowledge of sedimentology\, sequence stratigraphy and geological depositional environmental analysis. In her role as geo-modeller for the CO2CRC Otway Project\, she has been involved in well planning\, core logging\, data analysis\, seismic interpretation\, modelling\, and simulation for Australia’s first CCS demonstration pilot site. She currently leads the Reservoir Simulation team in CSIRO Energy Resources.

SUMMARY:PESA WA: 2023 Perth Basin Pitch - Cutting Edge Technologies Matched to Industry Need
DESCRIPTION:Perth Basin Pitch – Cutting Edge Technologies Matched to Industry Need\nEvent details:\nThe Perth Basin Pitch\, held by PESA WA in conjunction with Ascendience Geoscience\, is a one-day interactive workshop to match cutting edge technologies with industry need. With a pipeline of major resource projects and considerable yet to find exploration potential this highly prospective region is attracting considerable attention. \nEffective solutions to sub-surface technical challenges facing successful field development and production\, as well as future exploration success\, will ensure cost-effective and timely project delivery\, but choosing the best technologies to deploy is critical to this goal. \nVendors from the service industry\, Academia and R&D organisations are invited to pitch technology solutions addressing a range of sub-surface issues that represent potential barriers to project success across themes of Geology\, Geophysics\, Petrophysics and Reservoir Engineering.

As most available geoscientific datasets are regionally bound and have bespoke implementations\, it is challenging to merge all data into a consistent global framework.  Lithodat’s vision is to provide explorationists with global geoscientific databases and analytics to decrease the time taken to gain professional exploration insights to simplify and de-risk resource discoveries. LithoSurfer\, Lithodat’s unique browser-based exploration data platform offers the most detailed global\, standardised geochemistry and the largest thermochronology data repository and digital analytical tools available. Very detailed analytical data and advanced analytical tools including integrated paleogeographic reconstruction functionality of all metadata\, on-the-fly dashboards and automated heatmap integration\, enables the user to query and visualise data through deep-time and easily access and download all available data. No matter if you are looking for detailed geochemistry functionality for on-the-fly analysis of Li in brines or a tool to quickly test maturity or advanced source to sink investigations\, LithoSurfer provides you with the perfect platform to do so. It’s simple and easy to understand user interface makes all those tools easy to understand and use for every level. \nLithoSurfer is a secure online data platform for storing\, viewing\, analysing and extracting data in a geological and geospatial context. LithoSurfer provides quick access to a wealth of information (analytical details including all metadata\, machine parameters\, lab information\, persons involved\, references etc.) across multiple analytical techniques and localities. LithoSurfer harvests its power from being built on a unique relational database with a modular architecture of very fine-grained data models for each data type. Lithodat’s team of experts together with our partner institutions extract\, validate\, standardise and integrate all publicly available analytical data into our cloud-hosted database. Proprietary data can be securely integrated and normalised into LithoSurfer and analysed together with all public data. This consolidation opens up the full potential that spatial geoscience data has to offer and is a vast improvement on storing data in separate spreadsheets and folders as often happens within teams and exploration projects. LithoSurfer makes dispersed and complicated geoscience datasets understandable and usable for any explorationist. \nHaving data and analytical tools at your fingertips for systems such as geochronology\, thermochronology\, inorganic and organic geochemistry\, vitrinite reflectance and thermal histories helps increase exploration insights and workflow efficiency. However\, LithoSurfer does not constrain the explorationist to its tools\, clean and standardised data can be extracted in multiple formats to take full advantage of new techniques such as machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) and LithoSurfer also offers a secure REST API to connect directly to other software if required.

SUMMARY:PESA WA September Evening talk:  Casting a Bigger Shadow: Big New Opportunities in Australian Basins revealed by Regional Fluid Inclusion Data
DESCRIPTION:Casting a Bigger Shadow: Big new opportunities in Australian Basins revealed by regional fluid inclusion data\n \nEnhanced hydrocarbon exploration\, Reduced development risk\, Improved geological storage of CO2 \n\nMark Lisk (Ascendience Geoscience) \n\n\nAustralia boasts the largest resource of fluid inclusion data in the world\, with more than 800 wells\,\nleading the way in application by the oil and gas industry. For exploration\, where constraining the\ntiming\, origin and phases of fluid migration is crucial\, the contribution to improved understanding of\nprocesses that produce\, alter\, or destroy hydrocarbon systems has been profound. These data\nrevolutionise the mitigation of risk in modern petroleum systems analysis\, improve understanding of\nproven systems for better appraisal and development planning and reveal pathfinders to new\npetroleum systems that will yield future discoveries. \nIn field development these data are especially valuable\, predicting down-dip oil rims in gas fields\,\noffering constraint on reservoir quality\, and by constraining water saturation in fields where formation\nwater samples are contaminated these unique data augment conventional measurements and yield\nsuperior control on the accuracy of field reserve calculations. \nAs geological storage of CO2 emerges as a vital climate mitigation strategy fluid inclusion data provides\ncrucial insights for effective screening of storage sites. From demonstrating the absence of viable\npetroleum systems to avoid contamination of yet to find petroleum resources to constraining the\nthermal conditions in wells with poor or no data and providing crucial constraint on the nature of\naquifer systems especially for migration assisted storage sites where salinity looms as a critical\, but\npoorly constrained\, factor. \nThis whistle stop tour examines a diverse range of Australian Basins and beyond to demonstrate the\nutility of these methods\, highlight areas where application directly contributed to discoveries or an\nimproved understanding of existing oil and gas fields and reveal those areas with good potential for\nfuture discoveries. Early application to identifying suitable sites for the geological storage of CO2 will\nalso be discussed where fluid inclusions can literally help to save the world! \n\nEvent Sponsors: \n \nThursday 21st September 6pm (for talk starting at 6.45pm)\, The Shoe Bar (Yagan Square) \nCost: \nPESA Members:                                $25.00 (Members must Log on to the PESA website to see the member prices) \nNon-members:                                 $50.00 \nPESA Students Members:               Free (registration is essential) \nBookings close Wednesday 20th September at 12 noon for venue and catering purposes.

SUMMARY:PESA WA October Technical Lunch:  Why understanding hydrodynamics is critical in petroleum exploration\, appraisal\, development and production.
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB \n  \n \nGold Sponsors Katalyst Data Management\, Applied Geoscience\, Delft Inversion\, DUG and IKON Science \n              \n                                                \n \nand Silver Sponsor Qeye \n              \n  \nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 17th October\nWhy understanding hydrodynamics is critical in petroleum exploration\, appraisal\, development and production. \nPresented by Robert Seggie & Peter van Ruth \n\nWater flow occurs in ALL sedimentary basins from higher pressured to lower pressure areas.  Flow occurs via permeable beds away from meteoric intake areas or from over-pressured mudstones that are de-watering.  Another source of pressure variation is aquifer depletion due to hydrocarbon production\, or aquifer pressurisation due to fluid injection. To understand fluid flow\, pressure must be expressed as over-pressure variation\, the variation in potential\, equating to over-pressure above hydrostatic gradient or head (the height a water column would rise above MSL in a pipe intersecting the point of measurement).  Variation in fluid potential within the aquifer beneath a hydrocarbon field results in a variation in FWL over a field (tilted or stepped contacts).  This is not evident in most fields due to the small size of fields relative to the small variations in potential which are routinely interpreted as measurement error.  However\, when the variation is higher\nthese tilts or steps can be very significant\, due to: \n\nLarge field areas\nFaults causing baffling\nLower permeabilities\nHigher water flows\nHigh density hydrocarbons where minor variation in potential causes\nsignificant tilting.\n\nIn this talk concepts such as overpressure\, potentiometric maps and sections and compartmentalised reservoirs are discussed.  Examples from all over the world are presented along with the impact on failed exploration wells and sub-optimum development plans.  Vertical variation in potential within fields is also discussed. Finally\, publicly available pressure data from the Perth Basin is reviewed and discussed to consider whether Perth Basin Fields are compartmentalised\, or have complexly stepped contacts. \nEvent Sponsors: \n  \nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $69.00 \nConcession Member [Retired\, Graduate or Hardship] (Early Bird): $59.00 \nStudent Member (Early Bird): $39.00 \nNon-Member: $99.00 \nMember (Non-Early Bird): $79.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST).

The concept of an Enviro-Pad 3D is to provide 3D imaging over a proposed lateral well path faster and cheaper than traditional 3D surface seismic. Recent advances in both source and receiver technology have facilitated higher density surveys with lower operational footprint and lower impact on affected parties. \nAn overview of the design concept\, operational execution\, and initial results will be presented to highlight the multi-faceted benefits the technology brings to the exploitation of unconventional resources and the potential to make seismic commercially and operationally viable where it may not have been otherwise. \n  \n\nTickets for the Technical Luncheon can be purchased below: \nFinal numbers to venue required by Monday\, 16 October 12:00 PM – To avoid disappointment please register before that date and time. \n\n\n\n\nStandard Ticket Price\n\n\n\n\nPESA Members – $55\nNon-Members – $75\nStudent / Retired Members – $30\n\n\n\n\n\nThe venue location can be accessed by two means: \n1) Entry from Queen Street Mall\nTake the lifts to Level 6\, and walk to the guest lifts located in the centre of the main atrium and take the lift to Level 8.

Four major code comparison studies have been carried out over the last twenty years\, mostly to cross-validate simulator performance (of both people and software)\, as well as the most recent comparison with laboratory experiments. \nThe questions addressed by CCS simulation are quite distinct from most hydrocarbon recovery work: one is modelling large volumes of CO2 injection (millions of tonnes) into saline formations\, where the resulting CO2 plume migrates laterally over distances of kilometres\, and in timeframes of up to a thousand years after injection ceases. Feasibility studies need to address the range of uncertainties in the plume footprint\, which stem from the uncertainties in geological characterisation of surface topography\, sub-seismic faults\, and permeability heterogeneity both laterally and vertically. The pressures increase due to injection may necessitate the design of relief wells. Simulations are needed to design monitoring and verification plans\, and to interpret the data which is gathered. Regulatory compliance requires forward predictions of plume evolution\, which can be checked against monitoring results to ensure the CO2 is ‘behaving as predicted’. It may also be necessary to assess the risk of CO2 injection affecting other resources\, such as groundwater\, hydrocarbons\, geothermal or storage projects (for natural gas or hydrogen). \nThe least conventional aspects of CCS simulation involve the coupling of fluid flow to additional physics. Thermal effects are important in the wellbore and the near-well environment\, with the cooling effects of injection reducing the maximum allowable injection pressure. Geochemical interactions with the reservoir rock or seal can potentially aid storage by mineralising CO2\, and this is the focus of in-situ carbonation research. Injection can also induce seismicity\, and this potential can be modelled as well as monitored during operations. Finally\, the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning has prompted research into ways to accelerate the modelling process and allow fast history-matching. \nOverall\, CCS provides many fascinating challenges for subsurface modelling\, and the scope for this work is likely to expand significantly in Australia as more projects progress through feasibility studies towards implementation.

This myth was finally busted in 2022 when Shell and Total Energies respectively announced the giant Graff and Venus discoveries in the Orange Basin offshore Namibia. This was the grand finale of a long-standing debate in which model and data fought a hard battle. On the one hand\, there was a model that did not support the presence\, quality and maturity of source rocks over oceanic crust. On the other hand\, the novel approach of applying seismic source rock characterization in a frontier basin was pointing to the presence of a world class source rock generating hydrocarbons migrating into large traps (Rodriguez et al.\, 2023 EAGE Uruguay) \nIn the Loseth et al.\, 2011 publication“Can hydrocarbon source rocks be identified on seismic data?” compelling evidence using a significant amount of North Sea seismic and well data indicated that seismic data can be used to identify source rocks. \nUsing a full source rock de-risking methodology and access to a large global seismic dataset has enabled identification of source rocks on seismic. This presentation will be a guided tour around the seismic expression of source rocks in frontier basins around the world.

SUMMARY:PESA WA November Evening talk: Natural Hydrogen Exploration - applying familiar tools in new ways
DESCRIPTION:Natural Hydrogen Exploration: Applying Familiar Tools in New Ways \n\nKrista Davies: Edith Cowan University\, School of Engineering\, Centre for Sustainable Energy Resources \n\n\nThe field of natural hydrogen exploration is currently experiencing a surge in global interest\, with a notable focus on Australia\, where recent legislative changes have created opportunities for exploration initiatives. But how can we effectively pursue this non-petroleum gas resource? \nIn recent years\, the international dialogue has revolved around the concepts of play fairway mapping and soil gas sampling. However\, the path to harnessing natural hydrogen is not as straightforward as merely marking serpentinites on a map\, assembling drilling equipment\, and venturing into the field. It’s important to acknowledge that natural hydrogen exploration presents distinct challenges that differ from conventional petroleum exploration\, necessitating tailored methodological adjustments. \nThe complex chemical interactions between hydrogen\, water\, and minerals within rocks are contingent upon various factors\, including the original mineral composition\, temperature\, pressure\, salinity and the redox conditions of the system. \nDuring this presentation\, we will delve into a selection of emerging techniques spanning fieldwork\, laboratory analysis\, and desktop methodologies that are currently being developed within the natural hydrogen industry. Many of these techniques share common ground with established practices in oil and gas exploration\, enabling a seamless and practical adaptation to the unique demands of natural hydrogen. \nIn light of the escalating importance of sustainable energy sources\, the exploration of natural hydrogen via the refinement of petroleum techniques assumes a pivotal role in safeguarding our future energy security. Our research underscores the significance of an efficient and pragmatic approach to unlocking the potential of natural hydrogen. With ongoing research and development\, natural hydrogen has the potential to evolve into a critical and dependable contributor to the clean energy mix. \n\nTuesday 14th November 6pm (for talk starting at 6.45pm)\, The Shoe Bar (Yagan Square) \nCost: \nPESA Members:                                $25.00 (Members must Log on to the PESA website to see the member prices) \nNon-members:                                 $50.00 \nPESA Students Members:               Free (registration is essential) \nBookings close Monday 13th November at 5pm for venue and catering purposes.
