SUMMARY:PESA Sedimentology and Stratigraphy Interest Group (SSIG) Meeting - August 2024
DESCRIPTION:PESA Sedimentology and Stratigraphy Interest Group meeting \n30th of August\, 1 – 4pm Carlisle Core Library\n4pm Balmoral Hotel\, Victoria Park\nCores from the Middle Jurassic J20 Reservoirs of Australia’s Western Margin\nMiddle Jurassic reservoirs have helped underpin Australia’s gas export industry for decades and will for many more. This widespread thick sand dominated unit is variably named the Yarragadee Formation\, Cattamarra CM\, Legendre Formation and Plover Formation\, depending on basin. It represents a mega deltaic succession grading from fluvial to deltaic to marine and back again\, both vertically and laterally from the Perth Basin in the South and continuing to East Timor and Indonesia in the Nth. Cores have been chosen to cover the vertical and lateral variation with cores from Houtman-1 in the Perth Basin\, Perseus-2 in the Nth Carnarvon Basin\, Callaince-1 in the Browse Basin and Barrossa-3 in the Bonaparte Basin. Depofacies include fluvial channel fill\, distributary channel fill\, shore face\, interdistributary bay\, delta front\, offshore transition and open marine. Come and review the facies variations\, the diagenetic variability and the controls on production that are evident in the core. See if you can identify climatic indicators in this system as well. \nOrganisers: Rob Seggie and Darren Ferdinando \nAs is tradition\, the SSIG workshop will be followed by drinks at 4.00 pm at the Balmoral Hotel\, Victoria Park. \nPESA supplies nibbles\, but drinks are at your own expense. \nHard limit of 35 attendees and every previous SSIG meeting has been fully booked out.  \n  \nCost:  \nMember:  $10 \nStudent members:  Free \n  \nRegistrations close Thursday 29th August at 5pm. \nThis event is for members only.

SUMMARY:PESA WA August Technical Lunch:  2023 Australian Exploration and Appraisal
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science and DUG: \n                                              \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft and Qeye: \n              \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 15th August.\n2023 Australian Exploration and Appraisal Year in Review\nPresented by Adam Craig (RISC)\n\nThis presentation attempts to be a concise summary of petroleum exploration and appraisal activity in Australia for 2023. Exploration trends\, acreage releases\, bids and awards\, seismic acquisition\, drilling activity and transactions. \nPetroleum 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 petroleum exploration acreage release rounds or exploration permit awards in 2023. Exploration expenditure (and activity) appears to be de-linked from increases in commodity prices which have typically been exploration stimuli in the past. This suggests that other factors including access to acreage\, regulatory burden\, legal challenge\, social and environmental\, are at play. \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).

Initially\, CCS projects were primarily onshore in eastern Australia\, focusing on sequestering CO2 from power generation. By 2011\, the focus had shifted dramatically. Despite regulatory advancements\, the number of active projects decreased between 2011 and 2020. However\, policy shifts such as the Federal government’s net-zero emissions target by 2050 and the introduction of the revised Safeguard Mechanism in 2023 spurred a resurgence in proposed CCS projects\, particularly for LNG and hard-to-abate emission mitigation. Currently\, with record numbers of planned projects\, the need for regulatory reform is evident. The existing petroleum-based CCS regulatory framework poses inefficiencies\, which are further complicated by interactions with Australia’s obligations under international agreements. This complexity emphasises the necessity for regulations tailored to contemporary CCS project realities to meet Australia’s emission reduction commitments. \n

SUMMARY:Joint PESA - SPE WA Evening Event July 2024:  Geothermal Energy and CCUS in Australia
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science and DUG: \n       \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft and Qeye: \n             \nPESA – SPE WA invites you to Joint Evening Event.\nGeothermal Energy: A pragmatic consideration of how to commercialize Australia’s misunderstood resource \nPresented by Trey Meckel (Monteverde Energy) \n\nGeothermal energy is a readily available\, reliable\, zero-emissions resource that provides numerous advantages in a balanced energy portfolio\, as well as societal and environmental benefits\, that can help Australia meet its commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050. \nRenewable energy projects are central to achieving Australia’s decarbonization objectives: electricity is the largest source of emissions in Australia\, at ~33% of the national total. 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). All ticket sales close at 5pm Tuesday (2 days prior). \n

SUMMARY:PESA QLD: Lunch\, 11 July : Analogues for subsurface characterization for the Energy Transition - Prof. Simon Lang
DESCRIPTION:Due to popular demand\, this event has moved to a larger room and now more tickets are available! \nThis month PESA Queensland welcomes one of the recent Australian Geoscience Council National Geoscience Champions\, Professor Simon Lang to present a technical luncheon on how having robust models of depositional systems will be as important as ever through the energy transition\, or as Simon says…Geology matters! \nThe Technical Lunch will be held at the Brisbane Hilton Hotel\, in Room 83 (Level 8). \nFor detailed directions\, see explanation below. \nPlease note the Early Bird ticket pricing cut-off times described below. \n\n\n\nPresentation:\nAnalogues for subsurface characterization for the energy transition\n\n\nVenue:\nHilton Hotel Brisbane\, 190 Elizabeth Street\, Brisbane QLD 4000\nQueen Ballroom\, Level 5\n(Detailed directions below)\n\n\nDate & Time:\nThursday\, 11 July 12:15 PM\n\n\n\nPresentation Abstract: \nThe energy transition over the next few decades will provide challenges to all geoscientists who will need to extend the skills and lessons learned from fossil fuel exploration\, development and production to carbon sequestration and utilization (CCUS)\, conventional and H2 gas storage\, sediment-hosted copper\, uranium and lithium exploration\, and related hydrological and geotechnical issues. \nTypically high quality and abundant data is mostly available where existing fields occur (seismic\, wells\, dynamic data)\, but data will be sparser where we need to undertake new geological studies to support the energy transition. 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.

SUMMARY:PESA WA June Technical Lunch:  Building a carbon dioxide storage portfolio for the Barrow-Dampier sub-basins through regional screening – an integrated geoscience approach
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science and DUG: \n                                              \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft and Qeye: \n              \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 27th June.\nBuilding a carbon dioxide storage portfolio for the Barrow-Dampier sub-basins through regional screening – an integrated geoscience approach\nPresented by David Barlass (SLB – Exploration Lead)\n\nAuthors: David Barlass* & Ruth Hamilton (SLB)\, Sabine Mehay & Adeline Parent (SLB Oilfield UK plc)\, Ivan Pei (SLB)\, Oliver Schenk (SLB Oilfield UK plc)\, Merrie-Ellen Gunning (Geoscience Australia)\, Adam Vonk (Chevron Australia) \nSafe geological carbon dioxide storage (GCS) requires rocks with suitable injectivity\, capacity and sealing properties to ensure secure long-term containment of injected CO2.  A regional understanding of the subsurface is essential to determine the potential for GCS of a basin and to select target sites. 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. Results of this integrated regional basin study are used to quantify the risk of identified storage containers and to map the chance of success for GCS at a regional scale. The project results are to be made publicly available in Mar 2024. \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

SUMMARY:PESA QLD Lunch\, 20 June : Mega-intrusions and Volcanic ruins: A tour of magmatism in the Carnarvon Basin\, WA
DESCRIPTION:This month PESA Queensland welcomes Dr. Michael Curtis to present a technical luncheon looking at the fascinating volcanic history of the Carnarvon Basin and implications for exploration. \nThe Technical Lunch will be held at the Brisbane Hilton Hotel\, in Room 83 (Level 8). \nFor detailed directions\, see explanation below. \nPlease note the Early Bird ticket pricing cut-off times described below. \n\n\n\nPresentation:\nMega-intrusions and Volcanic ruins: A tour of magmatism in the Carnarvon Basin\, WA\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\, 20 June 12:15 PM\n\n\n\n  \nPresentation Abstract: \nThe Northern Carnarvon Basin formed as a result of Late Jurassic rifting\, and Early Cretaceous breakup of Greater India from the Australian continent.  Magma was emplaced into the Exmouth Plateau and Exmouth Sub-Basin over an area of ~50\,000 km2.  Until recently the spatial distribution of this igneous system\, and hence its potential impact on regional petroleum systems\, was relatively unknown.  The only references to the magmatic system were 1990s ‘blob’ maps created using 100+ km spaced 2D seismic\, magnetic and gravity data\, and references of penetrations of igneous rocks in well completion reports from ~8 wells and boreholes. \nNew interpretive work (the essence of my PhD)\, utilising SLB & TGS ultra-broadband 3D seismic data covering much of the Exmouth Plateau and Exmouth Subbasin\, reveals the igneous system in all its glory!  In this talk we will tour both its intrusive and extrusive components\, asking why it is the way it is and what its current configuration might have meant for the development of Carnarvon Basin petroleum systems.  We will attempt to answer why some intrusions are of record-breaking proportions (170+ km long)\, while others nearby are much much smaller (3 to 5 km diameter).  We’ll also look at the eroded ruins of volcanoes (that until recently hadn’t been known to exist at all) and consider the original size of the volcanic complex\, and the implications of volcano erosion on regional reservoir quality. \nTime permitting\, we’ll round off with an example or two of how not to drill in igneous affected areas. \n\nTickets for the Technical Luncheon can be purchased below. \nPlease be advised of the early bird cut-off date. \nEarly bird pricing will now remain available up until Monday\, 17 June 12:00 PM  after which\, standard pricing will come into effect. \nTo avoid disappointment please register before that date and time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPESA Members – $55\nNon-Members – $75\nStudent / Retired Members – $30\n\n\n\n\n\nLate ticket sales up to Wednesday\, 19 June 12:00PM will be available for $95 for all tickets – subject to availability. Please note dietary requirements can not be guaranteed for late tickets.  \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. Delegates will need to turn left out of the guest lifts and walk down the hallway to Room 83. \n2) Entry from Elizabeth Street\nEnter the foyer located on 190 Elizabeth Street\, and take the lifts to Level 6 (Main Foyer).

Once registered with the webinar software you will receive a reminder e-mail 1 hour beforehand. \nPossible Compartmentalisation of the Kidson Sub-basin From New Geophysical Data\, and Regional Projects in Western Australia \nPresented by Alex Zhan (DEMIRS; Geological Survey and Resource Strategy Division) \nAbstract \n\nThe Kidson Sub-basin of the southern Canning Basin has long been considered as a relatively simple sag deepening into its depositional axis\, presumably in the central part of the sub-basin. 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.

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

SUMMARY:PESA WA / AGC Geoscience Champions breakfast event
DESCRIPTION:Australian Geoscience Council Champions Breakfast:\nThe Australian Geoscience Council (AGC) is pursuing a Vision to raise the profile of Geoscience to be pre-eminent in Australia and to be recognised as one of the great fields of general science with Physics\, Chemistry and Biology. 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). All ticket sales close at 5pm Monday 20th May (2 days prior). \n

SUMMARY:PESA QLD: AGM and Lunch\, 16 May : A maiden contingent resource in Cuba for Melbana: the Amistad-1 success story
DESCRIPTION:This month PESA Queensland welcomes Duncan Lockhart to present a technical luncheon on the exciting progress Melbana Energy have made in 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\, 16 May 12:15 PM\n\n\n\n  \nPresentation Abstract: \nMelbana Energy drilled the Alameda-1 discovery well in onshore Cuba in 2021. 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.

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.

SUMMARY:PESA QLD Lunch: 18th April – Seismic Characterisation of Shallow Gas in the Cooper-Eromanga Basin
DESCRIPTION:This month’s PESA QLD technical lunch features Satya Mishra from Santos presenting: \n“Seismic Characterisation of Shallow Gas in the Cooper-Eromanga Basin”\nThe Technical Lunch will be held at the Brisbane Hilton Hotel\, in Room 82. \nFor detailed directions\, see explanation below. \n\n\n\nPresentation:\nSeismic Characterisation of Shallow Gas in the Cooper-Eromanga Basin\n\n\nVenue:\nHilton Hotel Brisbane\, 190 Elizabeth Street\, Brisbane QLD 4000\nRoom 82 (NOTE CHANGE FROM USUAL ROOM)\n(Detailed directions below)\n\n\nDate & Time:\nThursday\, 18th April 12:15 PM\n\n\n\n  \nPresentation Abstract: \nSeismic Characterisation of Shallow Gas in the Cooper-Eromanga Basin \nThe talk focuses on shallow-gas in the Cooper-Eromanga basin. 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.

SUMMARY:PESA WA April Technical Lunch:  From Liability to Asset - The Role of Mature Wells in Carbon Capture and Storage and the REX-CO2 well screening tool
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science and DUG: \n       \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft and Qeye: \n             \nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 18th April.\nFrom Liability to Asset: The Role of Mature Wells in Carbon Capture and Storage and the REX-CO2 well screening tool \nPresented by Siddiq Mahyildin (IKON Science – Technical Sales Geoscientist) \n\nThe UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) boasts significant CO₂ storage potential\, which is important in the context of the UK’s commitment towards Net Zero emissions targets. 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. Special thanks to John Williams (British Geological Survey). \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

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.

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.

SUMMARY:PESA WA February Technical Lunch:  Possible compartmentalisation of the Kidson Sub-basin from new geophysical data\, and regional projects in WA
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors Katalyst Data Management\, IKON Science and DUG: \n                   \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Applied Geoscience\, Delft and Qeye: \n                     \nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 15th February.\nPossible compartmentalisation of the Kidson Sub-basin from new geophysical data\, and regional projects in WA. \nPresented by Alex Zhan (DMIRS: Geological Survey and Resource Strategy Division) \n\nThe Kidson Sub-basin of the southern Canning Basin has long been considered as a relatively simple sag deepening into its depositional axis\, presumably in the central part of the sub-basin. 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).
