SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT September Technical Luncheon  "Cretaceous depositional environment interpretation of offshore Otway Basin cores and wireline logs"
DESCRIPTION:Cretaceous depositional environment interpretation of offshore Otway Basin cores and wireline logs; application to the generation of basin-scale gross depositional environment maps\nPresented by: Chris Cubitt\nDeputy Director Geoscience & Exploration \nGeoscience and Exploration Branch | Energy Resources Division – DEM \nChris.Cubitt@sa.gov.au \n  \n  \nAbstract\n\nGas production from the Inner Otway Basin commenced in the early 2000s but the deep-water part of this basin remains an exploration frontier. Historically\, the understanding of plays in this region were largely model driven and therefore the ground-truthing of depositional environments (DE) and gross depositional environments (GDE) are critical. This aspect has been investigated for the Sherbrook Supersequence (SS) by the integration of legacy wireline and core data\, with regional 2D seismic facies mapping of new and reprocessed data from Geoscience Australia’s 2020 Otway Basin seismic program. Core observations were matched to wireline logs and seismic facies with resulting well based DE interpretations calibrated to seismic resolution Regional GDE intervals. Integration of well and seismic observations lead to the compilation of a basin-wide Regional GDE map for the Sherbrook SS. This GDE map indicates the distribution of Sherbrook SS play elements such as source rock\, seal and reservoir\, especially across the Deep Water Otway Basin where well data is sparse. \n\n\nEvent Details:\nThursday\,  September 28th\, 2023\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nIncludes a 2-course lunch and drinks \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 25th August\nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT October Technical Luncheon The CO2 Storage Resources Management System
DESCRIPTION:The CO2 Storage Resources Management System (SRMS): what it is and how it was applied at Moomba\nJohn Kaldi\nEmeritus Professor & CO2CRC Distinguished Scientist\nUniversity of Adelaide \nPaul Lyford\nReserves & Resources Manager\nSantos Limited \n  \nAbstract\n\nThis talk aims to create awareness of the recently published Guidelines for Applications of the CO2 Storage Resources Management System (SRMS). The SRMS was first published in 2017 and is now sponsored by the world’s foremost industry-focused professional societies\, including SPE\, AAPG\, SEG\, SPWLA\, EAGE\, SPEE and WPC. The Guidelines were released in June 2022 and are available from the SPE bookstore. Although a voluntary system\, the intent is that regulators\, government departments\, and financiers will be able to draw upon the experience of managing petroleum resources to advise on the management of carbon dioxide storage resources. \nThe SRMS is modelled on the Petroleum Resource Management System (PRMS). This was a deliberate choice aimed at making the development of storage resources clearer by drawing parallels with the well-known and well-understood process of maturing petroleum resources. The need to show that injected CO2 can be contained in a geologic formation is the key difference between exploring for CO2 storage resources and exploring for petroleum accumulations. \nAccording to the SRMS\, a CO2 storage resource is defined as the quantity (mass or volume) of CO2 that can be stored in a geologic formation. This storage can be in geologic structures (e.g.\, an anticline) or in regionally extensive dipping geologic formations. The storage mechanisms are geologic (structural and stratigraphic)\, residual\, solubility\, and mineral trapping\, and an inherent consideration in any storage resources is that displaced fluids (e.g.\, brine or hydrocarbons) are managed. \nA significant case study from Santos’ Moomba CCS project in the Cooper Basin is provided to demonstrate incorporation of SRMS in storage resource assessments. The Moomba project is the world’s first commercial CCS project to incorporate the SRMS system and to include the CO2 resource in a company’s annual report.   As more experience is gained through the development of commercial projects such as Moomba\, the SRMS and Guidelines undoubtedly will be updated. \n  \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday\,  October 26th\, 2023\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nIncludes a 2-course lunch and drinks \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 23rd August\nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT November Technical Luncheon Coorikiana Sandstone Play\, Cooper Basin region
DESCRIPTION:Coorikiana Sandstone Play\, Cooper Basin region\nCarmine Grasso \nSouth Australia’s Department for Energy and Mining (DEM) \n  \nAbstract\n\nPetroleum exploration of the Cooper/Eromanga basin commenced in 1954 with the granting of an exploration licence to Santos\, the dominant focus for operators being gas resources of the deeper Permian reservoirs of the Cooper Basin\, which are overlain by the younger shallower Eromanga Basin. However\, a recent industry focus to specifically target the shallower reservoirs\, viz.\, Coorikiana Sandstone of the Eromanga Basin\, has yielded rewarding outcomes\, thus adding to the Cooper/Eromanga basin reputation as Australia’s most prolific onshore oil and gas basin. \nThe early Cretaceous Coorikiana Sandstone has been proven to be a bona fide exploration\, appraisal and development target in the South Australian sector of the Cooper/Eromanga basin. This presentation of the play is aimed at providing explorers with a better understanding of the geology and potential importance of these regressive marine shoreface sandstone reservoirs. Recent activity in the South Australian portion of the Cooper/Eromanga basin has proven successful via low-cost shallow drilling campaigns\, focusing on delivering additional production rate and reserves for both oil and gas. These positive results in the Coorikiana Sandstone have not only placed the spotlight on this formation as a legitimate hydrocarbon target but it has also increased our knowledge on the importance of understanding the value of shallow hydrocarbon plays in the Eromanga Basin. \n  \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday\,  November 23rd\, 2023\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nIncludes a 2-course lunch and drinks \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 20th November\nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT CHRISTMAS 2023 PESA LUNCHEON DECEMBER
DESCRIPTION:CHRISTMAS 2023 PESA LUNCHEON DECEMBER\nPresented by: Dave Grybowski\, Consultant\nAbstract – \nIf you missed David’s double-header luncheon talk of October last year comprising Cry Me A River and the world premiere of The Project – A Play About Not Working Together\, here’s your second shot at the Christmas Cracker. This December\, PESA SA/NT is paying David $1\,000\,000 to return with another blockbuster. Before dessert\, David will lead a joint discussion on The Books That Hooked Me – an investigation of the childhood books and collectables that turned his head toward geology. Luncheoneers will be invited to share their experience. How can we turn those young brains we babysit into earth scientists and engineers with great Christmas gifts? Specifically\, the challenge of making engineering remotely interesting to a kid compared to all the neat things geological.\nAfter dessert\, there will be a thrilling slideshow on The Role of Toilet Paper. The Chinese invented toilet paper in the 6th Century after discovering gunpowder was much too powerful and what to do with all those books after inventing printing eight centuries earlier? David will show a great variety of toilet paper dispensers with video of how well they don’t work. Naturally\, there will be a tie-up with Christmas at the end\, and remember\, paper beats rock\, any day. \n  \nEvent Details:\nThursday\, December 14th\, 2023\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nIncludes a 3-course lunch and drinks \nTickets: \nStudent Members – $25 \nMembers – $50 \nNon-members – $100 \n  \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, December 11th.\nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT February Evening Talk: The pathway to Gigatonne CO2 storage
DESCRIPTION:The large-scale capture and storage of carbon dioxide is a critical component of the route to achieving Net Zero. However\, CCUS technologies are still in their infancy. The IEA calculated worldwide storage-rates in 2021 of approximately 40 Mt of CO2 per year but this needs to be upscaled to 7.6Gt of CO2 per year by 2050. Phil will review the pathway to gigatonne-scale CO2 storage and present details from a case study on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. \n  \nTimings for the event: \n  \n5:00 to 6:00 – pre-talk drinks and canapes in the bar at Ayers House\n6:00 to 7:00 – evening talk and Q&A in Henry’s Table\n7:00 to 7:30 – post-talk drinks in the bar \n  \nPESA SA/NT will provide a selection of canapes. Beer\, wine and soft drinks are available and can be purchased from the bar.  \n  \nThis event is also free for students – but there are limited tickets\, so make sure to book soon! \n

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT February Luncheon- Revisiting the rocks and seismic discovers turbidites and a new exploration play in the Penola Trough\, Otway Basin\, South Australia
DESCRIPTION:Revisiting the rocks and seismic discovers turbidites and a new exploration play in the Penola Trough\, Otway Basin\, South Australia\nSharon Tiainen\, South Australia’s Department for Energy and Mining (DEM)\, and Rob Kirk\, Consultant \n  \nAbstract\n\nThis rock-based and seismic-backed turbidite interpretation provides an alternative to the current alluvial channel/crevasse splay model for reservoir deposition and as such presents a new exploration play. Further the reservoirs immediate lateral association with gas/oil-prone source rocks and seals in the clay-rich lithologies potentially provide for stratigraphic trapping in addition to the previously targeted fault-controlled structural traps. By revisiting legacy core and seismic data\, and integrating and iterating across multiple disciplines\, a new and fertile turbidite exploration play has been identified. \n\n  \n  \nEvent Details:\nThursday\,  February 29th\, 2024\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nIncludes a 2-course lunch and drinks \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 26th February 2024 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:GSA-SA Morialta Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Geological Society Australia-SA Morialta Field Trip \n15th March 2024 \nThe SA Division of the Geological Society of Australia invite you to an afternoon of looking at the Burra Group\, the Tonian of the Adelaide Hills. In spectacular Morialta Gorge Conservation Park there is a lovely cross section through a major fold/thrust system that forms part of the western margin of the Delamerian Orogeny—a plate tectonic convulsion as the then new Pacific started to subduct. The rocks involved in this preserve beautiful evidence of the sedimentary environment in which they were deposited and reveal what the Adelaide region looked like 780 million years ago. \nThis trip is designed for everyone. No prior-knowledge of the intricacies of the Adelaide Superbasin stratigraphy will be assumed (in fact even if you have no geological knowledge you’ll get a lot out of this trip). There will be a little bit of walking (ca. 1.5 km) and it will be steep in places (please wear good shoes). The fieldtrip is planned for 2.5 hours and then we will head to a local pub for a chat and refreshment. \nLocation: Morialta Conservation Park \nTime: 2-6pm ACST \nGSA Members: Free. Non-members $20 plus booking fee. \nRegister with the GSA: Click here

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT March Luncheon- Hydrogen Gas Storage Prospects in South Australian Petroleum Basins
DESCRIPTION:Hydrogen Gas Storage Prospects in South Australian Petroleum Basins\nMarch Bunch\,University of Adelaide \n  \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. \n\n  \n  \nEvent Details:\nThursday\,  March 21st\, 2024\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nIncludes a 2-course lunch and drinks \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 18th March 2024 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT April Luncheon- Beach Energy’s 2022 Otway Basin drilling campaign
DESCRIPTION:Beach Energy’s 2022 Otway Basin drilling campaign\nJosh Sage\, Beach Energy \n  \nAbstract\n\nFollowing the transformational acquisition of Lattice Energy 2017\, Beach Energy materially increased its footprint in the Otway Basin\, picking up several near shore and offshore tenements\, including two producing offshore gas fields\, Geographe and Thylacine\, as well as several promising exploration targets. \nIn 2022\, to capitalise on the potential of these new assets\, Beach Energy completed the largest exploration and development campaign in the Offshore Otway basin’s history. The successful campaign included one new gas discovery at the Artisan Field and six successful development wells in the Geographe and Thylacine fields. \nAgainst the challenging backdrop of the global COVID-19 pandemic\, and with over 820\,000 continuous operational hours through the pandemic\, the campaign concluded 18 months after commencement with some very notable achievements. These include\, but are certainly not limited to\, the first offshore ERD well drilled by Beach\, the longest horizontal well drilled in the Otway Basin (3.5 km lateral section in Thylacine North 2) and the longest horizontal campaign in the Otway Basin (8.1 km total lateral section from three horizontal wells). \nThis presentation will be a recap of the 2021-2022 Offshore Otway project; the goals\, the execution\, the challenges along the way\, and some of the great & more interesting results. \n\n  \n  \nEvent Details:\nThursday\,  Thursday 18th April 2024\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nIncludes a 2-course lunch and drinks \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 15th April 2024 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:GDE Mapping Leading to Play Analysis in the onshore Otway Basin (SA)
DESCRIPTION:GDE Mapping Leading to Play Analysis\nin the onshore Otway Basin (SA)\nChris Cubitt (speaker)  & Paul Strong \nGeological Survey of South Australia\, Department for Energy and Mining \nhttp://www.energymining.sa.gov.au/ \nchris.cubitt@sa.gov.au; paul.strong@sa.gov.au \nThe Otway Basin is a Mesozoic rift basin located in southeastern South Australia and southwestern Victoria\, as well as extending offshore as part of Australia’s Southern Margin. Over 100 petroleum wells have been drilled since the 1890s wells\, and in 1987 Katnook 1 discovered economic gas in the Penola Trough\, with subsequent drilling leading to further discoveries and construction of a processing plant. To date almost 450\,000 barrels oil and 86Bcf of gas have been produced from the basin. \nThe modern Katnook Gas Plant (currently mothballed) has improved the economic viability of small gas discoveries to fuel both local gas markets and electricity generation. The SA Otway Basin is strategically connected to local southeast and statewide natural gas customers by the SEA Gas and SESA pipelines. \nAs part of a larger petroleum systems modelling (PSM) project gross depositional environment (GDE) maps were developed using 7\,965km of interpreted 2D seismic\, interval-specific isopachs with well log motifs\, regional seismic facies analysis and depositional environment (DE) interpretations from 772m of conventional core (23 wells). This mapping interpreted varied depositional systems\, including anoxic\, extensive ice-influenced lacustrine\, lacustrine turbidite\, extensive fluvial/lacustrine\, fluvial/flood plain and growth fault-bound ribbon-like alluvial fan apron environments. GDE maps were produced for the following six key intervals: Casterton Formation\, Lower Sawpit Shale (McEachern)\, Sawpit Sandstone\, Upper Sawpit Shale\, Pretty Hill Sandstone and Laira Formation. \nThe petroleum systems modelling showed for the first time significant oil and gas generation and expulsion in the lightly explored Robe and Tantanoola Troughs\, as well as the Penola Trough. \nPlay analysis has recently been conducted by DEM for all 8 intervals using the GDE mapping and the PSM results\, with the intention of stimulating exploration for hydrocarbons in this region\, including determining areas for a potential acreage release in 2024. The results have been documented on the DEM Energy Resources website under the Geology and Prospectivity \nhttps://www.energymining.sa.gov.au/industry/energy-resources/geology-and-prospectivity/mesozoic-basins/otway-basin  \n  \nEvent Details:\nThursday\,  Thursday 30th May 2024\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nIncludes a 2-course lunch and drinks \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 27th May 2024 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA S/NT Branch June Luncheon on 4 July 2024
DESCRIPTION:Analogues for Subsurface Characterization for the Energy Transition\nProf Simon C. Lang\nCentre for Energy Geoscience\nSchool of Earth Sciences\, University of Western Australia\nsimon.lang@uwa.edu.au\n  \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.\nGeology Matters!\n  \n  \nEvent Details:\nThursday\, 4th July 2024\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nIncludes a 2-course lunch and drinks \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 1st July 2024 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT Branch July Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Exploration for radioactive waste repositories near urban areas\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarkus Häring\nHäring Consulting \nAbtract\nSave long term storage of nuclear waste is required even in countries without nuclear power plants. Switzerland produces about one third of its power with nuclear energy. The volume of high- medium- and low-level radioactive waste of over sixty years of production is in the same order as toxic heavy metal waste from industry and consumption. Radioactive waste has a precisely determined half-life and can be stored and monitored in controlled containments. In contrast\, heavy metal waste is diffusely distributed\, is not inventoried\, and is of indefinite toxicity.\nNagra\, the Swiss cooperative for the disposal of radioactive waste has explored for a suitable location in various rock formations throughout Switzerland. After forty years of exploration\, a suitable site has been found that is not only geologically safe\, but also meets all political requirements.\nWhen it is possible to find a suitable site for nuclear waste in a country with nine million inhabitants that is smaller than the Eyre Peninsula and on top is located in a tectonically active region\, it should be feasible to find a safe storage location in South Australia. \n  \nEvent Details:\nThursday\, 25th July 2024\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nIncludes a 2-course lunch and drinks \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 22nd July 2024 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT Branch August Luncheon- Thursday 15
DESCRIPTION:2024 Birdsall-Dreiss Distinguished Lecturer\nDr. Ben Rostron\nProfessor Emeritus of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alberta\n\nAbstract:\nGeology and hydrogeology at AQUISTORE: Canada’s first CO2 storage project associated with a commercial-scale coal-fired power plant The Aquistore research project is part of SaskPower’s Boundary Dam Integrated Carbon Capture and Storage project in Estevan\, Saskatchewan\, Canada. Carbon dioxide is captured from the Boundary Dam coal-fired power generation station and transported via underground pipeline to both the Weyburn oil field for EOR\, and to a 3400 m deep injection well at Aquistore. Initial CO2 injection at Aquistore took place in April 2015\, and through August 2023 more than 500\,000 tonnes have been injected. Geology and hydrogeology have played a key role in the entire project using both pre-existing and newly-acquired data. Hydrogeological characterization efforts were divided into four parts: regional hydrogeological and hydrochemical mapping of the site; hydraulic characterization of the storage zone during drilling/testing of the 3400m deep injection and nearby 3400m deep observation well; installation of an extensive shallow groundwater monitoring network; and ongoing hydrogeological and hydrochemical monitoring of the shallow groundwater in the area. All of the geological and hydrogeological characterization results indicate strongly favourable conditions for geological storage at the site: there are no significant faults in the immediate area of the storage site; the regional sealing formation is continuous in the area; the reservoir is not adversely affected by knolls on the surface of the underlying Precambrian crystalline basement; and the shallow groundwater and soil gas horizons do not appear to be hydraulically connected to the deep injection horizons in the subsurface. These results were subsequently used for project planning\, risk assessment\, and permitting of the site; demonstrating the overall storage integrity; and for Measurement\, Monitoring\, and Verification of CO2 storage for regulatory and public assurance. This talk will highlight some of the geology and hydrogeology results from Aquistore and provide an update on a couple of the more interesting outcomes of the project thus far.\n\n  \nEvent Details:\nThursday\, 15 August 2024\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nIncludes a 2-course lunch and drinks \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 12th August 2024 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT Branch September Luncheon- 26 September
DESCRIPTION:Salt Cavern storage potential of the Polda Basin\, South Australia\nGlenn Toogood\, entX\, and Tim Rady\, Geomorph Energy\n\nThe Polda Basin is a Neoproterozoic to Jurassic sedimentary basin\, extending from the Great Australian Bight to the central Eyre Peninsula\, South Australia. It has previously been explored for petroleum\, uranium\, coal\, groundwater\, base metals\, potash and diamonds. There has been renewed interest in the Polda Basin for its underground gas storage potential in salt caverns\, given that Mercury-1 encountered >1200m of massive halite within Neoproterozoic red beds in the central offshore basin.\nentX Limited were granted Gas Storage Exploration Licences (GSEL) 781 and 784 and have been actively studying the basin to assess the likelihood of the proven offshore salt extending onshore\, where it may be engineered into caverns for underground gas storage (UGS) sites. UGS can provide gigawatt-scale storage of H2 gas and significantly reduce the levelized cost of storage. Such an asset would provide key advantages to H2 project concepts\, including DRI green steel from magnetite\, green ammonia and biofuels.\nTo assess the prospectivity for salt onshore and correlate the stratigraphy across the basin\, entX have taken a multi-disciplinary approach\, reviewing all available data and literature and integrating seismic reprocessing\, ICP-MS/OES and XRF analysis\, visual core and cuttings interpretation\, core density measurements\, spectral scanning and gravity forward modelling. Following this work\, the onshore Polda Basin has emerged as highly prospective for both salt and natural hydrogen. This talk will summarise the technical work undertaken\, new insights about the stratigraphy and plans for future data acquisition.\n\nEvent Details:\nThursday\, 26 September 2024\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nIncludes a 2-course lunch and drinks \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 23rd September 2024 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT Branch October Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:An emerging new Petroleum System with world-class plays in the \nTorres Sub-Basin\, Offshore Papua New Guinea \nTim Rady1 and John Chambers2  \n1 Geomorph Energy \n2Larus Energy Limited \n\nABSTRACT\nThe Papuan Basin is the only basin with production in Papua New Guinea but is relatively unexplored for a typical Australian Continental Margin Mesozoic basin. It hosts the Kutubu Oil Field Developments and the PNG LNG project\, as well as several gas fields that are planned to be developed in the coming years\, but its southeastern extension\, the Torres Sub-Basin\, remains undrilled. Modern proprietary and regional multi-client seismic data in the offshore Torres Sub-Basin is now revealing an active Petroleum system with a generating Late Cretaceous Source rock and three main identified play types: \n\nMiocene deep-water clastics in a large submarine Miocene to Pliocene foldbelt\nPinch-out plays of Miocene to Pliocene age against a basement high\nPalaeogene carbonate build-ups on basement highs\n\nThis presentation will focus on the Miocene to Pliocene submarine foldbelt plays within the Larus Energy-operated PPL579 license area that was covered by the Nanamarope 3D broadband PSDM seismic survey (acquired in 2023 by Larus Energy and Searcher). The pinch-out play is within the recently awarded Larus Energy-operated PPL695 license in the foreland basin south of the foldbelt\, while TotalEnergies is proposing to test the Palaeogene carbonate play with the Mailu-1 well in 2025. \nThe Nanamarope 3D seismic provides high-resolution images of large-scale submarine fan complexes\, deposited during the Mid-Miocene\, linked to active tectonism and the formation of the proto–Owen Stanley Range. The images suggest significant reworking of these turbidite systems by bottom currents into likely high reservoir quality contourite deposits with a wide spectrum of features formed during synchronous and asynchronous interaction of turbidity flows and bottom current activity. It is observed that bottom currents provide a mechanism to redistribute coarser-grained material up-slope and beyond the limits of the traditional turbidite fairway. \nThe new 3D seismic has allowed Larus to complete detailed structural mapping\, update GDE interpretations\, identify evidence for hydrocarbon migration and integrate petroleum systems and seismic synthetic forward modelling to derisk the prospectivity. Larus Energy is planning on drilling the giant Nanamarope Prospect in 2025 which\, if successful\, will open a large new play fairway for exploration and development and provide a much-needed revenue source for the nation of Papua New Guinea \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday\, 24 October 2024\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nIncludes a 2-course lunch and drinks \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 21st October 2024 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.
