The SRMS considers both technical and commercial factors and the major storage resource classes with increasing data knowledge and chance of commerciality are: Inaccessible Storage Resources\, Prospective Storage Resources\, Contingent Storage Resources\, Capacity\, and Stored. The volumetric estimation of storage resources involves the interpretation of the subsurface which has an inherent degree of uncertainty. Fundamental for elevating storage resources to a storage capacity is the evaluation of containment of the stored CO2 and\, most importantly\, injectivity considerations. Here\, bigger is not necessarily better. Rather the capacity of a commercial CO2 storage operation needs to be sufficient to accept the planned volume of CO2 with emphasis on injection efficiency\, safety and economics. Hence\, actual injection or formation tests and containment assessment must provide a high confidence in the commercial injectability of the characterised geologic formation. Injectivity is constrained by the allowable bottom hole pressure\, which should be safely below the reservoir fracture pressure or the pressure capable to activate any faults in the vicinity of the storage complex. Storage capacity could be increased\, at a cost\, by managing reservoir pressure through water production wells. Other than in petroleum operations\, where production wells are generally completed at the top of the reservoir for production efficiency\, CO2 injectors placed at the bottom or at the downdip portion of the storage complex may be the most efficient strategy for achieving maximum storage capacity.

This structural model is based on limited seismic coverage and well intersections near the flanks of the sub-basin\, and is here tentatively revised following integrated mapping with new regional data.  The data integration reveals a possible east-northeast oriented basement ridge with a structural amplitude up to 1000 m in the central part of the Kidson Sub-basin. This ridge possibly divides the Kidson Sub-basin into two distinct parts and potentially is a significant feature with extensive implications for hydrocarbon\, CO2 sequestration\, natural hydrogen\, helium and mineral prospectivities of the sub-basin. Although the basement ridge is supported by regional changes in depositional facies and marginal seismic data\, the existence of such elevated feature remains highly uncertain in the absence of a seismic profile across the ridge. Further work is required to confirm its presence and de-risk exploration efforts. \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 identification of potential leakage pathways and approximation of leakage rates are a critical part of the site selection process and help to minimise material impacts on the environment. Compromised well or subsurface integrity issues may facilitate the migration or release of CO2 out of its primary storage container into shallow groundwater. However\, the probability of leakage via geological features when storing CO2 at well-characterised sites is extremely low. While the probability of compromised well integrity occurrence based on petroleum industry experience is also extremely low\, the probability of well leakage increases with the number of active and inactive wells within the area of the injected CO2 plume. However\, well leakage is relatively easily detected and well mitigation and remediation technologies are well-established. Generally\, multiple barriers and partial migration into various intervening aquifers\, as well as buffering\, dissolution and residual saturation will reduce the total volume ending up in groundwater. \nCarbon dioxide itself is not considered a pollutant or contaminant in groundwater and is not considered as a parameter for water quality in most groundwater jurisdictions. However\, increased CO2 concentrations could reduce the pH of groundwater\, i.e.\, increase its acidity\, and thereby enhance geochemical reactions between groundwater and aquifer sediments\, potentially resulting in release and mobilization of toxic trace metals. Extremely high concentrations of CO2 in groundwater would be required to cause material harm to the environment as demonstrated in exceptional cases of natural CO2 leakage. Such conditions are improbable in the case of CO2 geological storage. Also\, the remobilisation of other harmful substance as result of CO2 leakage has been investigated in many laboratory and field experiments\, and material impacts are generally deemed unlikely under CO2 leakage conditions from a well-characterised and monitored geological storage project. The already low risk of impacts on potable groundwater due to CO2 leakage can be further minimised by early leakage detection before reaching groundwater wells; timely stop of injection and remediation.

Any technical project will have methods for “monitoring and verifying”\, but this mindset can lead to the assumption that M&V is a technology problem. Monitoring methods\, be they geophysical\, geochemical\, or environmental\, are often at the forefront of discussion. In fact\, this distracts attention from the need clearly to identify the purpose of M&V.  Best practice in CCS sees M&V as a component of risk management\, with the challenge being to assess risk correctly and only then assign technologies for its management. This is particularly difficult in the area of environmental monitoring\, where CCS will occur within dynamic and evolving systems where causal chains are notoriously difficult to pin down. In this talk I will explain how to approach M&V as a part of managing the risks of CCS projects\, and suggest a definition of its scope.

Since many of the basins in the UKCS are regarded as mature there is now an increasing emphasis towards plug and abandonment rather than further exploration. In this webinar\, we will explore the opportunity that exists to re-purpose near end-of-life wells and fields for use in CO₂ storage operations. Re-use as an alternative to plugging and abandonment could potentially result in significant cost savings. \nIkon Science completed the presented work with BGS for the Re-Using Existing wells for CO₂ storage operations project (REX-CO₂)\, which is an R&D initiative funded through Accelerating CCS Technologies (ACT) programme. The project aims to evaluate potential for re-purposing existing oil and gas wells that penetrate prospective CO₂ storage reservoirs. A screening methodology and software tool has been developed\, and is applied to two UKCS case studies; a depleted gas field and a saline aquifer structure. Determinations of subsurface pore pressure\, fracture pressure and seal capacity are integral to the analysis. The procedure for acquisition of regional data\, determination of production and depletion impacts\, and estimation of seal capacity are considered along with considerations for partial well abandonment. Some challenges for re-use assessments of wells on the UKCS will also be highlighted.

Cooper has been a prolific gas basin for over 60 years and the overlying Eromanga basin has been predominantly Oil saturated. Thus gas discoveries in the Eromanga basin are generally termed as “shallow-gas”. The talk will look into various seismic characterisation methods that help in delineating the shallow-gas fields. In the process we will cover some of the structural and the stratigraphical seismic attribute methods that have been useful in field delineation. We will also look into the fluid characterisation methods e.g. AVO and Fluid substitution. We would venture into some in-land canyons in our own backyard and understand the unique play model associated with it. \n  \n\nTickets for the Technical Luncheon can be purchased below: \nTicket sales extended to Wednesday\, 17 April 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.

Monitoring obligations are challenging because the injected fluid is of negligible commercial value compared to hydrocarbons\, whereas O&G operators in commercial fields have always the incentive of 4D monitoring to improve recovery\, in contrast to the generally defensive function of CCUS monitoring. Monitoring programs for CCS are invariably under pressure over costs\, mobilisation expenses\, frequency of acquisition\, and duration of obligations. This context provides incentives for lower cost methods\, and methods that might use permanent sensors to reduce survey costs.\n\nThe laws of physics describing the expected changes in geophysical responses are the same for CO2 and hydrocarbons of course\, but the unusual nature of CO2 at commercial depths makes its behaviour somewhat intermediate between methane and oil. Further\, typical injection scenarios are very unlike hypothetical reverse gas production\, and monitoring is typically focused on thin plumes driven predominantly by gravity forces. These factors make the surveillance of CO2 plumes often somewhat different in character to typical 4D oilfield workflows\, in addition to the expectations of reduced surface footprint and acquisition costs. In this talk I aim to rehearse some of the basic facts controlling the expected effect of CO2 presence on elastic and electromagnetic properties. The resulting effect of these changes on\nremotely detectable signals from controlled or passive sources will be discussed\, with particular attention to seismic\, our benchmark wavelike high-resolution method. I aim to illustrate the main findings  using published results on well-known CCUS projects. In addition\, a short survey of geophysical monitoring efforts using non-seismic methods\, such as diffusive or potential-fields methods using electromagnetic responses or geomechanics\, will further ornament the brief selection of published work.

By 2022 the discovery was independently certified by McDaniel (A Canadian based Reserves Certifier with extensive experience in Cuba) to contain over 5 billion barrels of oil in place (best estimate) and 267 million barrels of recoverable oil (best estimate). \nIn 2023 Melbana followed up the Alameda-1 well with the successful Amistad-1 appraisal well which was designed to test the uppermost sheet of reservoirs in the Alameda field (Unit 1A\, 1B\, 2 and 3). \n• Unit 1A recovered 11.7° API oil with 3\,783 cP viscosity at surface from a 63 metre MD interval starting from 445 metres MD. Although flow rates at surface were not established 40 barrels of oil flowed unassisted to surface (through a 32/64” choke)\, exceeding expectations. \n• Unit 3 intercepted 200 metres updip and 500 metres to the south of the Alameda-1 intercept and confirmed moveable oil of a similar quality to Unit 1A. Testing indicated the potential to flow at ~750 bopd. The Unit 2 DST did not demonstrate moveable hydrocarbons to surface at the location tested. \n• Unit 1B recovered 19.4° API oil with 5.7 cP viscosity at surface from a 70 metre TVD perforated section – less than 20% of the total Net Pay for Unit 1B (when incorporating fractures). Stabilised unassisted flow rate to surface of 1\,235 bopd measured over 12 hours on a 36/64” choke\, peaking at 1\,903 bopd. \nLogged Net Pay for the entire Amistad Formation has been increased from 109 metres to 346 metres TVD – further increasing to 615 metres when the highly fractured limestones are incorporated (45% of the gross interval). Unit 1B has now been completed for future production\, whilst Units 1A and 3 have been suspended for potential future development and production. \nIn March 2024 McDaniel provided a resource update on the Unit 1B; \n• 46 MMbbls (P50) Contingent Resources – Development Pending in the eastern section of the greater Alameda field in the vicinity of the existing wells. \n• 90 MMbbls (P50) Prospective Resources of assigned in the western part of the field to reflect the uncertainty associated with being away from the existing wells. However\, McDaniels assigned a 70% chance of discovery to the prospective resource reflecting the low- risk nature of this area (given it is updip from the existing discoveries within the field). The risk associated with this area is based on reservoir deliverability. \n• Unit 1A is currently under assessment with McDaniels. \nMelbana is currently drilling Alameda-3\, a well designed to test the deeper Alameda (N) and Marti (I) sheets. These hold even greater potential to flow lighter API than the shallow Amistad field. \nPlanning is currently well advanced to acquire a 400km2 3D seismic survey to cover the field and surrounding areas which demonstrate high prospectivity. \nA preliminary field development plan is being developed for exploitation of Unit1B and an additional two wells focussing purely on production from Unit1B are being planned to be drilled by the end of 2024 with the aim of initiating international oil export from Cuba. \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 Tuesday\, 7 May 11:30 PM  after which\, standard pricing will come into effect. \nFinal numbers to venue required by Monday\, 13 May 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\n  \n\nPESA QLD 2024 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 2024\nProxy Form\nMinutes of 2023 AGM\nNomination form\n2023 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.

As part of this Vision\, the AGC has instigated an award for National Geoscience Champions that will be made on behalf of AGC’s eight member organisations who represent over 8 000 geoscientists around Australia. The award is modelled on the concept of a Hall Of Fame for geoscientists who are not otherwise recognised (yet) as National Living Treasures. This honour will be bestowed on very few Geoscientists and will recognise lifetime contributions to our science\, craft and art\, evidenced by technical\, leadership\, mentoring and collegial endeavours. \nAustralian Geoscience Council Inc. – National Geoscience Champions (agc.org.au) \n\nTo celebrate new recipients Peter Moore and Simon Lang becoming National Geoscience Champions\, a PESA WA / AGC Breakfast will be held on 22nd May 7:30am at the Hilton Hotel. \nPeter Moore: \nPeter has been a significant individual contributor to the understanding of the key sedimentary basins of Australia. Of particular note was his early promotion and application of what is now termed petroleum systems analysis to the Gippsland Basin. Although it’s now more than 30 years since this this work was first published\, it still remains a cornerstone study of the basin. \nHe has been involved in several initiatives to promote the Geosciences and Geoscience education in the wider community\, particularly in WA. He is passionate advocate of the importance of Geoscience to the Australian economy and way of life. \nHe has made a matchless contribution to the addition of known petroleum resources both onshore and offshore Australia. His individual contributions have improved the wider understanding of the subsurface and laid solid foundations for the success that followed. As a\ntechnical manager\, he has overseen projects around the world that have had a material impact on the companies he worked for. \nSimon Lang: \nSimon has made an immeasurable contribution to advancing Geoscience in Australia as an academic\, industry geologist or leading field courses for people at all levels of professional development. He willingly explains key geological concepts in terms that can be understood and with a sometimes mischievous sense of humour. He is ready to share his knowledge with anyone who asks and was an important part of the skills development programs at Woodside. He has published extensively and there is always something of importance in his papers. \nHe has made important contributions to the teaching and practice of Geoscience in the international arena\, and he is recognised as a leading Australian subject matter expert in sedimentology and stratigraphy. \nSimon has contributed to the development of Australia’s resources through his unparalleled knowledge of the stratigraphy and sedimentology of the key prospective basins. His ideas and geological models have been influenced successful exploration and appraisal programs\, while his critical review and encouragement of the work of others has had a significant impact. \nSimon will provide a technical talk at the breakfast: \n“The value of geological analogues for surface characterization for the energy transition”  \n  \nTicket Prices: \nAGC and PESA Members  (Early Bird): $50.00 \nNon-Member (Early Bird): $55.00 \nStudent Member : $25.00 \nAGC and PESA Members (Non-Early Bird): $55.00 \nNon-Member: $65.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Tuesday 30th April at 5pm (AWST).

Despite some preliminary research and examples overseas\, there remains a lack of established protocols and configurations for offshore Carbon Storage monitoring overlying storage sites and an absence of methods to establish environmental impact in the event of leakage. \nCSIRO in collaboration with ANLEC R&D and CarbonNet have undertaken research in the Gippsland region to inform the development of assurance monitoring approaches for subsea Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) operations to address three key technical assurance monitoring challenges: \n\nThe “signal-to-noise” problem: distinguishing CO2 release signatures from similar naturally occurring variability to reduce false alarm rates in future baseline monitoring design;\nCharacterising impact: determining the level of CO2 release that would be associated with environmental impact at a range of scales; and\nAttributing impact: distinguishing changes resulting from other drivers and pressures in multiple-use zones (e.g. climate change) from the activities of CCS operations.\n\nThe research has included a wide variety of approaches and technologies including the development and testing of fixed and mobile autonomous monitoring systems\, chemical and acoustic sensing and the collection of biological datasets. These data have been used in the development of biogeochemical models and to define possible integrated MM&V frameworks.  This presentation will discuss this and other MM&V research and how it could be applied for offshore CO2 storage projects around Australia. \n  URL:https://pesa.com.au/events/pesa-etsig-csiro-ccs-knowledge-transfer-series-installment-9/ CATEGORIES:Industry,National,Online,Technical Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/avif:https://pesa.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/PESA-ETSIG-CSIRO-CCS-Knowledge-Transfer-Series.avif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20240611T110000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20240611T120000 DTSTAMP:20260605T144437 CREATED:20240527T013212Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240527T013212Z UID:10008588-1718103600-1718107200@pesa.com.au SUMMARY:2024 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: Possible Compartmentalisation of the Kidson Sub-basin From New Geophysical Data\, and Regional Projects in Western Australia 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.

This structural model is based on limited seismic coverage and well intersections near the flanks of the sub-basin\, and is here tentatively revised following integrated mapping with new regional data.  The data integration reveals a possible east-northeast oriented basement ridge with a structural amplitude up to 1000 m in the central part of the Kidson Sub-basin. This ridge possibly divides the Kidson Sub-basin into two distinct parts and potentially is a significant feature with extensive implications for hydrocarbon\, CO2 sequestration\, natural hydrogen\, helium and mineral prospectivities of the sub-basin. Although the basement ridge is supported by regional changes in depositional facies and marginal seismic data\, the existence of such elevated feature remains highly uncertain in the absence of a seismic profile across the ridge. Further work is required to confirm its presence and de-risk exploration efforts.

This is best addressed by integrating the basin’s tectono-stratigraphic evolution\, its gross depositional environment\, and its hydrodynamic\, thermal and stress regimes. \nA basin-scale GCS assessment for the Barrow-Dampier sub-basins was conducted by Geoscience Australia and SLB. The objective of the study is to high-grade geological intervals and sites for potential GCS and to understand potential storage capacity and key risk factors. Stratigraphic and structural mapping of key storage intervals was performed using the reprocessed seismic volume and well database associated with the project. Analysis of critically stressed faults was used to estimate the likelihood of reactivation based on the far-field regional stress field and fault mechanical properties. Pressure\, temperature\, porosity\, permeability\, and water geochemistry data has been screened for >500 wells for assessing the storage unit intervals and predicting the hydrodynamic regime. Calibrated 2D basin models provide information on the regional pressure-temperature regime\, porosity/permeability distribution\, and sealing effectiveness. Potentiometric surface maps for the aquifer systems inform the distribution of CO2 plume migration.

To infill the scale-gap between seismic and wells\, all the way down to core and pore-level\, we need to deploy appropriate analogues for the tectonic\, climatic and accommodation/sediment supply regimes. \nThis presentation will focus on depositional systems and their subsurface reservoirs/seals/baffles\, and how analogues from seismic\, well data\, producing fields\, outcrops and modern depositional systems can help constrain the uncertainties involved with subsurface geo-modelling\, that will still be needed to develop the new energy resources needed for the energy transition. \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 Tuesday\, 2 July 11:30 PM  after which\, standard pricing will come into effect. \nStandard ticket pricing will be available until Monday\, 8 July 12:00 PM – To avoid disappointment please register before this time. \nIn recognition of Professor Lang’s recent award of the AGC National Geoscience award\, PESA is pleased to announce that for this lunch\, all members of AGC Member Organisations (MOs) will be eligible for member ticket prices. \n\n\n\n\nEarly Bird Ticket Price\nStandard Ticket Price\n\n\n\n\nAGC MO Members – $55\nNon-Members – $75\nStudent / Retired Members – $30\nAGC MO Members – $75\nNon-Members – $95\nStudent / Retired Members – $30\n\n\n\n\nLate ticket sales up to Wednesday\, 10 July 12:00PM will be available at $95 for all tickets – subject to availability.

Based on publicly available data\, at 1 million tonnes per annum the Project is sufficiently sized to capture and permanently store the emissions associated with the onshore Perth basin gas projects and the Cockburn Dongara quicklime facility. \n\nThe CHCCS operation enables the production of blue hydrogen and ammonia with the proposed hydrogen production technology integrating the production of green hydrogen/ammonia. Importantly the Project will be designed to incorporate the future supply of hydrogen into the WA domestic market.

Recent trends have seen substantial decreases in power-related generation in the past decade; however\, existing and planned wind\, solar and battery storage projects are not capable of offsetting planned retirements of thermal power plants – especially when considering anticipated increases in electricity demand and baseload supply issues. Supply shortfalls and grid reliability issues represent serious risks to safe\, secure\, clean and affordable energy. \nGeothermal resources address these issues by providing flexible\, dispatchable\, baseload power that complements solar and wind projects by providing “always-on” power\, supplementing those significant\, but intermittent resources. Furthermore\, geothermal is highly scalable\, allowing fit-for-purpose power solutions\, including behind the meter provision\, “islanded” grids in remote areas\, and baseload or dispatchable supply to the grid in more populous areas. \nThis talk provides an overview of geothermal energy in an Australian context\, including next-generation technologies that have transformed the global industry over the past decade; the benefits and challenges that will shape the sector in the coming decades; and critical commercial\, regulatory\, ESG and other success factors that will drive geothermal energy as a significant component of Australia’s decarbonized future. \n\nAustralian CCUS in 2024 – project status\, policy and the future \nPresented by Rosie Johnstone (Geovault) \n\nCCS project maturation in Australia has seen highs and lows since it was first initiated 1999 with the GEODISC study. Changes in government support and market forces have seen periods of greater activity (notably 2008-2011 with state and Federal support for CCS to address coal emissions thorough the CCS Flagships program) through to the doldrums of the 2010’s with the removal of both CCS incentives (carbon tax and meaningful emission reduction schemes)  and wholesale government support through funding. \nThe 2020’s saw a change in public sentiment and the setting of corporate\, state and national Net Zero 2050 targets which supported a renewed interest in CCS in Australia\, this time linked to emission reduction from LNG gas processing\, hard to abate industries and the rise in third party CCS as a service hubs. \nIn this talk Rosie will give a look back on CCS in Australia\, give a view of the current status of projects and potential future trends. \n  \nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $40.00 \nNon-Member (Early Bird): $60.00 \nMember: $50.00 \nNon-Member: $70.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST).
