SUMMARY:2024 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: Hydrogen Gas Storage Prospects in South Australian Petroleum Basins
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. \nHydrogen Gas Storage Propsects in South Australian Basins \nPresented by Mark Bunch (University of Adelaide) \nAbstract \n\nSouth Australia hosts two petroleum production basins that are also expected to play a role in Geological Carbon Sequestration (GCS).  Each hosts CO2 disposal operations at differing scales.  Previous studies have demonstrated sealing capacities bounding structural closures to viable reservoir beneath the threshold depth for sustaining supercritical CO2 sufficient to accommodate millions of tonnes of CO2 annually.  Another prospective use for these reservoir systems has emerged: Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS).  UHS will provide a secure\, scalable way to accommodate excess hydrogen production and fill temporary supply shortfall\, thereby stabilising the price of energy as the transition unfolds.  Hydrogen is a gas under all viable subsurface conditions so is invasive\, mobile and of low mass density.  Sealing capacity to hydrogen gas is approximately equivalent to that of methane meaning closures to natural gas fields should be viable for temporary hydrogen storage.  However\, there are other considerations such as how prone a containment system would be to hydrogen losses by degraded integrity under injection-production stress\, dissolution\, chemical reactions or microbial consumption.  This study evaluates viable UHS fairways within each basin at the helicopter-view scale.  The following factors are considered: hydrodynamic modification of closure; sealing unit thickness and capacity; a threshold depth that is both as shallow as possible but deep enough to limit microbial hydrogen consumption whilst ensuring a competitive hydrogen mass density.  When these factors are considered together\, the most prospective fairways are revealed that correspond with a subset of known petroleum field closures to proven reservoir intervals.

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.

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:Basins Workshop 2023
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 Basins Workshop will take place on 5 and 6 December 2023 at Curtin University\, Perth in association with PESA WA Branch.  The aim of the workshop is to provide an informal forum for the exchange of insights and ideas regarding the evolution of sedimentary basins in Australia and around the world\, and the diverse resources they contain\, including hydrocarbons\, minerals\, geothermal energy\, natural hydrogen\, and the potential for CO2 and hydrogen storage.\n\nTalks are limited to 10 minutes in duration\, with ample time for discussion\, so we are looking for thought provoking ideas\, rather than polished conference presentations. To participate all you need to do is to send the title of your proposed presentation to basinsworkshop2023@gmail.com by Friday 13 October 2023 – abstracts and/or written papers are not required.\n\nThere is no cost for registration\, but in the first instance participation is restricted to those expressing interest in making a presentation (whether or not your presentation is finally selected for inclusion in the programme).  Additional places will then be made available to co-authors and others interested in attending\, according to demand.

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 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.

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.

Once registered with the webinar software you will receive a reminder e-mail 1 hour beforehand. \nOptimizing Data-Driven Resource Exploration: Unveiling the Power of the LithoSurfer Data Platform \nPresented by Fabian Kohlmann (Lithodat) \nAbstract \n\nWell managed\, standardised data is vital for the resource industry as it currently undergoes an intense digitalisation phase. 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.

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:2023 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: Machine Learning and Intelligent Augmentation Applied to Legacy Subsurface Data
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
