SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT November Luncheon : PESA Distinguished Lecturer
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT  November Luncheon\nRecent applications of seismic geomorphology/stratigraphy: Deep-water deposits of the Bay of Bengal and the Norwegian Sea\nHenry Posamentier\n(PESA Distinguished Lecturer)\n  \nAbstract:\nThis presentation will document the seismic stratigraphic and seismic geomorphologic expressions of deep-water deposits of the Bay of Bengal and the Norwegian Sea. They comprise both turbidites as well as mass transport deposits. The turbidite deposits from the Bay of Bengal include leveed channel complexes\, terminal fans\, and overbank sediment waves. With respect to terminal fans\, there are those that terminate basinward of leveed channel systems and are relatively large\, and those that are deposited late within a lowstand cycle of deposition and are confined between the levees of precursor larger channels\, and are relatively small. Intra-basinal channels (i.e.\, channels that start and end on the basin floor) are observed within abandoned meander loops as well as interchannel overbank terrains. These intra-basinal channels are characterized by low sinuosity and likely are mud-filled with no exploration potential. \nMass transport deposits from the Norwegian Sea include flows\, slumps\, and slides\, as well as isolated outrunner blocks. These deposits are associated with significant substate erosion up to 250m. The outrunner blocks are observed in clusters\, generally in radiating patterns down-system. Some of the outrunner blocks at the termini of erosional furrows are associated with sediment tails orthogonal to the direction of transport\, indicating bottom current direction from southwest to northeast. In addition\, volcanic intrusive deposits will be documented. These intrusives comprise both dikes and sills. Some of the dikes are associated with laccoliths in the shallower section. \nThis PESA Distinguished Lecture is made possible with the generous support of Santos Ltd. \nEvent Details:\nDate: Monday 3rd November 2025 \nBookings close 5 pm Wednesday\, 29th Oct 2025 \nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start . The luncheon will consist of 2 courses and drinks \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nCost: Training Course ( Seismic Geomorphology and Seismic Stratigraphy – Fundamentals and Workflows) Attendees Free\, Members $ 60\,  Non-Members $ 75\,  Students $25. \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins. \n

SUMMARY:PESA SA Training Course: Seismic Geomorphology and Seismic Stratigraphy – Fundamentals and Workflows
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA Training Course\n“Seismic Geomorphology and Seismic Stratigraphy – Fundamentals and Workflows”\nHenry W. Posamentier\, PhD\nConsultant\n(PESA Distinguished Lecturer)\nThis PESA Distinguished Lecture is made possible with the generous support of Santos Ltd. \n  \nObjectives\nThis course is designed to enhance interpretation skill sets with regard to geologic interpretation of seismic data. The overall objective is to present seismic interpretation methods/workflows focused on seismic stratigraphy integrated with seismic geomorphology\, aimed at reducing risk with regard to prediction of lithology\, reservoir compartmentalization\, and stratigraphic trapping potential in exploration and production. Specifically\, the participant will be shown: \n\nworkflows designed to facilitate extraction of stratigraphic insights from 3D seismic data\ntechniques for 3D seismic geomorphologic/stratigraphic analyses\nnumerous examples of various depositional systems in various depositional settings (i.e.\, fluvial\, marginal marine\, deep-water\, shallow-water carbonates)\nintegration of sequence stratigraphic concepts\ndiscussion\, with examples\, of pitfalls in interpretation\n\nContent\nThe application of seismic geomorphology and seismic stratigraphy to exploration and field development is a natural consequence of the advent of high-quality and increasingly more affordable and widespread 3D seismic data currently available. Integrating analyses of plan view (geomorphologic) and section view (stratigraphic) images can significantly enhance predictions of the spatial and temporal distribution of subsurface lithology (reservoir\, source\, and seal)\, compartmentalization\, and stratigraphic trapping capabilities\, as well as enhanced understanding of process sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy. \nParticipants in the course will be exposed to seismic geomorphologic/stratigraphic workflows\, which involve 1) initial reconnaissance through 3D volumes with various slicing techniques using a variety of different seismic attribute volumes including full stack reflection amplitudes\, near and far stacked amplitude volumes\, and coherence volumes\, as well as opacity rendering\, 2) focus on features of geologic interest and further investigate through a combination of detailed slicing\, interval attributes\, horizon picking and amplitude extraction\, horizon illumination\, etc.\, and 3) comprehensive integration of seismic geomorphologic analyses with seismic stratigraphic analyses\, whereby the plan view is integrated with the section view to ensure a consistent interpretation. 4) integration and application of sequence stratigraphic concepts to facilitate data interpretation. \nCourse lectures will involve both PowerPoint presentations as well as interactive demonstrations of the interpretation of 3D seismic data. A wide variety of depositional settings will be shown\, ranging from non-marine to marginal marine\, shelf and deep water\, and will include both clastic as well as carbonate depositional environments. Concepts as well as applications pertaining to seismic-based analyses of depositional systems will be covered in detail. \n  \nPlease save the date:\nNov. 3rd and 4th 2025 (Monday and Tuesday)\n9am- 5pm \nAyres House Adelaide

SUMMARY:2025 Australian Natural Hydrogen Conference -Adelaide Hills- PESA discount applies
DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of millions of dollars have been committed worldwide to the hunt for natural hydrogen. \nMany more countries and companies are trying to commercialise one of the most abundant and cost-effective forms of hydrogen as the world continues the drive to carbon zero. \nSince the inaugural Natural Hydrogen Association of Australia conference in 2024\, the game has changed. Where are the new natural hydrogen targets; who are the prime movers; what have we learnt from the latest drilling programs; and how have the technical approaches to exploration morphed? \nThis is a fantastic opportunity for interested parties to learn how much closer we are to having at our fingertips a new tool in the carbon zero war. \nThe conference will span 3 days and\, depending on demand\, there could be events on another 2 days. \nThe official conference will begin on Tuesday October 21 with an add-on afternoon workshop on specific technical topics (agenda to be confirmed) and an evening icebreaker session. The official conference is on the Wednesday and Thursday (Oct 22-23)\, with a informal event on the Wednesday evening. \nAs well\, if there is enough demand\, organisers are considering a wine tour of some of the world-renowned wineries of the region on the Monday (Oct 20) and a field trip on Friday (Oct 24). As South Australia is one of the hotbeds of natural hydrogen exploration in this country\, that would be either a core store visit or a trip to one of the sites where natural hydrogen has been identified. \n  \nPESA Member Discounts\nWe welcome interested PESA members to our conference and are offering 10% off the registration pricing. Tickets on sale here: 2025 ANHC. \nYou must be logged in to the PESA website to view the instructions on how to get your discount. \n

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT Evening Technical Talk: Three-Dimensional Architecture of Wave-Dominated Delta Deposits
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA : Evening Technical Talk\nThree-Dimensional Architecture of Wave-Dominated Delta Deposits\nBrian Willis1\, Tao Sun2 and Bruce Ainsworth3\n  \n1. Presenter\, Willis Geoscience\, Consultant\, Longmont\, CO\, USA; 2. Chevron Technology Center\, Research Fellow\, Houston\, TX\, USA; 3. Adjunct Professor\, University of Adelaide\, Australia. \nSep. 29th 2025\n  \nJoin PESA SA/NT for an Exclusive Distinguished Lecturer Event Featuring Brian Willis \nPESA SA/NT is proud to host Brian Willis\, renowned fluvial sedimentologist and stratigrapher with decades of experience at Chevron and BP\, as part of our Distinguished Lecturer Tour. This PESA Distinguished Lecture is made possible with the generous support of Santos Ltd. \nOverview:\nNew numerical wave-influenced delta depositional models are challenging long-held rational for interpreting sea level variations recorded by wave-dominated shallow-marine successions. Shallow-marine\, wave-dominated deposits (parasequences) are generally inferred to exhibit a decrease in wave energy and grain size with increasing water depth and to occur in facies belts that are laterally continuous for long distances along strike. Bedding geometry and vertical facies successions within these parasequences are interpreted in relation to a prograding equilibrium shoreface profile (cf. Bruun rule) and a gradual upward-coarsening facies progression (cf. Walther’s law). Sea-level fall is commonly inferred to generate a sharp-based shoreface succession\, characterized by an abrupt vertical transition from heterolithic lower shoreface to sandy upper shoreface deposits across a marine erosion surface. A truncated vertical shoreface succession\, capped by a marine erosion surface\, is inferred to record significant wave ravinement during sea level rise and transgression. \nThree-dimensional\, process-physics-based\, coupled hydrodynamic-morphodynamic wave-influenced delta models suggest that wave-dominated deltas will develop a sandy shoreface inner clinoform dipping from the subaerial delta plain to a relatively flat wave-scoured subaqueous delta top\, which is laterally separated from a muddier delta front outer clinoform that dips from the subaqueous delta top edge to the shelf floor. As these systems prograde\, deposits of these dual-clinoforms will become vertically stacked and will be separated by a regressive surface of marine erosion formed on the subaqueous delta top. Grain-size contrasts between these vertically stacked clinoform deposits reflect differences in sediment-transport directions and sorting under river- and wave-driven littoral currents along the coast\, and cannot be uniquely related to sea-level changes. Gradual vertical facies successions develop where waves are less effective at reworking river-supplied sediment alongshore. In contrast\, sharp-based shoreface deposits record more effective wave separation of sands onto the shoreface clinoform as muds are preferentially transported offshore onto the subaqueous delta clinoform. \nThe continuity of a regressive surface of marine erosion over many tens to hundreds of kilometres across mid-shelf regions of some stratigraphic sequences reflects a gradual lateral shift in the position of littoral current erosion on a subaqueous delta top. Timelines cross such vertical lithic discontinuities throughout the extent of a prograding deposit\, and the regressive surface of marine erosion thus has little chronostratigraphic significance. The model results are used to suggest: 1) Characteristic strongly asymmetric wave-dominated parasequences suggest common river avulsion at the start of transgression\, 2) Observed down-dip transitions from “gradual-based” to “sharp-based” shoreface deposits might record reduced sediment supply to the coast relative to rates of longshore drift as the system expands toward its auto-retreat limit\, rather than transitions from normal to forced regression\, and 3) Regional “top-truncated” shoreface successions might record progradation of dual-clinoform shorelines with wide deviation in net direction of regional sediment supply and shallow-water wave transport\, rather than significant regional transgressive ravinement. The results of these models suggest caution in inferring sea-level changes from the character of vertical facies changes observed in individual well logs and isolated outcrop exposures. The models suggest new facies relationships that require testing in modern systems\, outcrops\, and subsurface examples. \n  \n  \nTimings for the event: \n5:30 to 6:00 – pre-talk drinks and canapes\n6:00 to 7:00 – evening talk and Q&A\n7:00 to 7:30 – post-talk drinks in the bar \nPESA SA/NT will provide a selection of canapes.

SUMMARY:PESA SA : Meandering Murray Field Trip & Fluvial Stratigraphy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA : Meandering Murray Field Trip & Fluvial Stratigraphy Workshop\nMagnificent Meandering Murray field trip: a modern-day fluvial system analogue\nSep. 28th and 29th 2025\nBrian Willis (ex Chevron ) & Andrew McKerron (Beach Energy)\n  \nJoin PESA SA/NT for an Exclusive Distinguished Lecturer Event Featuring Brian Willis \nPESA SA/NT is proud to host Brian Willis\, renowned fluvial sedimentologist and stratigrapher with decades of experience at Chevron and BP\, as part of our Distinguished Lecturer Tour. This PESA Distinguished Lecture is made possible with the generous support of Santos Ltd. \n  \nThis exciting two-day workshop offers a unique blend of field and classroom learning: \n  \n\nDay 1: Field Excursion – Sunday\, 28 September Explore the stunning landscapes of the Murray River on a guided geological field trip led by Brian Willis and Andrew McKerron\n\n          Ticket Price: Free to attend | Logistics (Self organized) meeting point will be advised closer to the date \n  \n\nDay 2: Fluvial Reservoir Heterogeneity Characterization Workshop – Monday\, 29 September \n\n         Ticket Price: $250 per participant | Location: Ayers House \nWhether you’re a student\, professional\, or enthusiast\, this is a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of the industry’s leading experts. \nLimited spots available – register now! \n  \nWorkshop Details:\nFluvial Systems – From River to Reservoir\nTraditional characterization of fluvial reservoirs focuses on relating vertical facies patterns observed in core samples to a static aerial view of an analogue river. Such comparisons fall short of generating precise predictions of the distribution of reservoir heterogeneities that can impact subsurface fluid flow and reservoir development behavior. Heterogeneity patterns within fluvial deposits are emergent structures (i.e.\, in systems analysis\, “emergent structures” are patterns that arise from the collective actions of many individual parts and behaviors and have properties that the parts themselves do not have). In fluvial deposits\, these patterns are formed by shifts in deposition and erosion during river floods\, dynamic changes in grain sorting along a river channel during lateral migration and cutoff within a channel belt\, and the stacking of channel belts as the floodplain aggrades. This course aims to build on traditional fluvial facies models to develop a more dynamic understanding of how a hierarchy of depositional processes defines heterogeneity patterns within fluvial reservoirs. \n• Discuss terminology and concepts to define the hierarchy of processes and deposits that control reservoir-heterogeneity 3D patterns and scaling. \n• Examine process-based\, numerical\, river depositional models to better understand the emergence of heterogeneities within evolving channel belts. \n• Catalogue 3D facies patterns developed within a range of river systems as a template for defining reservoir heterogeneity. \nLectures will introduce the hierarchical organization of fluvial deposits and discuss models for the development of heterogeneities within fluvial channel belts. The focus is on considering how dynamic changes preserve 3D facies patterns and understanding how these facies patterns vary between a wide range of fluvial systems. Well log interpretation and correlation exercises will demonstrate subsurface applications. The workshop is structured to challenge experienced practitioners to rethink standard practices\, while remaining general enough to benefit geologists with little experience in fluvial systems\, as well as reservoir modelers and engineers\, with a broad overview of potential subsurface variation patterns. \n  \nWorkshop Timing: \n9:30 am-5:00 pm \n  \nBrian Willis will be giving an evening talk at 5:30 pm. The talk is free for workshop attendees\, but registration is required.

The first method provides a tool to date clay phases in shales using Rb–Sr geochronology. We show that the Rb–Sr isotopic system in shales is sensitive to temperatures equivalent to the oil-gas window. The second technique demonstrates an approach for dating carbonate formation using U–Pb geochronology via a laser isotopic mapping approach. The laser rasters can be compiled into interactive maps\, and this spatial and geochemical information can be used target multiple generations of carbonate mineralisation. Records of natural carbonate precipitation can be used as an analogue for assessing the potential of host rocks for carbon capture and storage.\n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 28th August 2025 \nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nThe luncheon will consist of 2 courses and drinks \nBookings close 5 pm Monday\, 25th August 2025 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:Reservoirs\, seals and pay: learning to think like hydrocarbon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA Training Course\nReservoirs\, seals and pay: learning to think like hydrocarbon\nJohn Kaldi\nEmeritus Professor & CO2CRC Distinguished Scientist\nUniversity of Adelaide\nThis practical workshop-style course demonstrates how basic geological and engineering data can be used to evaluate reservoir rock quality\, fluid saturations and contact depths\, transition zone thickness and seal capacity (i.e. the maximum hydrocarbon or CO2 column a seal can hold before it leaks). It also demonstrates the geological controls on capillary pressure and relative permeabilities and how to use these to approximate recovery efficiency during primary or secondary recovery of hydrocarbons and storage efficiency in CO2 storage projects.  This popular course has received extremely favorable reviews when presented for AAPG\, SPE and PESA and as an internal training course for several major oil and gas companies as well as several generations of University of Adelaide students. \nThe course comprises lectures\, case histories and several hands-on exercises. Participants will work in teams for most exercises. \n  \nEvent Details: \nAugust 12th and 13th 2025 (Tuesday and Wednesday) \nFrom: 9am- 5pm \nVenue: Ayres House Adelaide \nWe look forward to your participation in this enriching training session! \nPlease note that ticket sales will close today at 5:00 PM.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT July Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT July Luncheon\nNew Geological Studies Leading to 2025 Acreage Release in the Polda and Otway Basins\, SA\nPaul Strong and Sharon Tiainen \n(Energy Resources\, Geological Survey of SA\, Department for Energy and Mining)\nThe Polda Basin is a 10\,000 km2 Neoproterozoic to Jurassic basin covering the central western portion of the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia and extends westwards into the Great Australian Bight. The basin is only lightly explored\, with the last significant hydrocarbon exploration occurring in the offshore Polda Basin in the late 1970s/early 1980s\, with no reported hydrocarbon shows except for a relatively minor gas show of 40 ppm methane in Mercury 1. However\, source rock studies in the Jurassic section indicate the presence of immature\, relatively high TOC and excellent generative potential for both oil and gas from carbonaceous claystone and coal. Recent work by the GSSA (Tiainen\, 2025) indicates the presence of a potential source rock from the underlying Neoproterozoic Kilroo Formation\, with oil staining identified in the permeable reservoir intervals in the Polda Formation in the onshore mineral drillhole Kilroo 1A. In addition\, recent work conducted at the University of Adelaide suggests that there may be potential for a natural hydrogen accumulation within the onshore Polda Basin (Rumi Daruso 2023\, shown in Margiono et al. 2024). \nFollowing a recent acreage relinquishment\, one new Regulated Substances Exploration Licence (RSEL) in the Polda Basin is being offered as acreage release block PO2025 RSEL-A by the South Australian Government for competitive work program bidding. \nThe Otway Basin is one of the best known and most actively explored of the series of Mesozoic rift basins that span the southern coastline of Australia\, formed following rifting between the Antarctic and Australian plates. Over the last 2 years DEM has conducted studies over most of the onshore Otway Basin in South Australia\, with results suggesting that significant hydrocarbons have been generated and expelled in a number of structural troughs in the region\, and that suitable reservoir fairways and new play types are now better defined than previously. \nFollowing a recent acreage relinquishment\, five new regulated substances exploration licences (RSELs)\, three gas storage exploration licences (GSELs) and one new geothermal exploration licence (GEL) in the Otway Basin are being offered by the South Australian Government based on work program bidding. A key motivation for the acreage release is the looming shortfall in energy supply in the southeast Australian market. The South Australian onshore Otway Basin is in a strategic location for natural gas exploration and gas storage. \n  \n  \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 31st July 2025\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start\nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nThe luncheon will consist of 2 courses and drinks \nBookings close 5 pm Monday\, 28th July 2025 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT June Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT June Luncheon\nThe impact of triggered earthquakes of the Basel geothermal project 2006 on Engineered Geothermal Systems\nMarkus Häring (Consultant)\nThe triggered earthquake of M 3.4 with subsequent events of M >2 was a turning point in the perception of induced seismicity caused by intentional pressure changes in the subsurface. The events followed a massive hydraulic stimulation into granitic basement at 5 km depth below the city of Basel. \nThe geothermal project attracted worldwide attention\, not only because the seismicity was felt throughout the city\, but also because\, for the first time\, induced seismicity was recorded in detail by a scientifically supported monitoring system. \nSince then\, microseismic monitoring systems have been greatly improved and can now be used in all underground operations where pressure changes occur\, such as oil and gas production\, fraccing\, CCS and EGS. \n  \n  \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 26th June 2025\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start\nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nThe luncheon will consist of 2 courses and drinks \nBookings close 5 pm Monday\, 23rd June 2025 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT May Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT May Luncheon\nProspectivity of the Daralingie Shelf area of the Warburton Basin\, SA\nTim Rady (Geomorph Energy) and Rob Kirk (Consultant)\nAbstract:\nTo further highlight the prospectivity of the Warburton Basin\, the South Australian Department for Energy and Mining (SADEM) has undertaken a whole of basin project integrating regional seismic interpretations (using the 2D Cube)\, previous geological understanding\, well and standardized core interpretations. The May 2025 PESA lunch will be the first public release of the main outcomes from this project. \nThe Cambrian eastern Warburton Basin underlies the bulk of the hydrocarbon-producing Permian Cooper Basin in South Australia. The Warburton\, like the Cooper Basin\, is hydrocarbon bearing with a significant catalogue of hydrocarbon shows recorded from a wide variety of lithologies and stratigraphic intervals. Therefore\, understanding the stratigraphic context of hydrocarbon occurrences is critical to unlocking this basin’s prospectivity. It is in this context that two integrated seismic-based interpretations were undertaken in this project and are the focus of PESA’s May 2025 lunch time lecture. \nThe initial seismic interpretation\, by R. Kirk\, looked at the whole eastern Warburton Basin with the results providing the stratigraphic and gross depositional environment (GDE) concepts that underpin the entire project. From this work a new stratigraphic sub-division of the Warburton Basin has been developed (Kirk et al 2025). Subsequently\, the second seismic study was undertaken (by T. Rady) building upon the seismic sequence stratigraphic framework developed by Kirk et al (2025) by combining seismic attributes\, structural and seismic facies mapping and core descriptions to develop GDE and updated reservoir distribution maps for the uppermost section\, termed ‘400-1000’. This work has provided new insights into the basin stratigraphy\, evolution and prospectivity for hydrocarbons (Rady et al 2025). \n  \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 22nd May 2025\nThe May luncheon is a week earlier than usual due to the AEP conference during the last week of May \nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start\nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nThe luncheon will consist of 2 courses and drinks \nBookings close 5 pm Monday\, 19th May 2025 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT March Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT March Luncheon\nThe Perth Basin: Seven years of learnings\nAndrew Farley (Strike Energy)\n  \nAbstract:\nExploration in the Perth Basin commenced back in the 1960s\, but it was the discovery of the Kingia gas play by AWE Energy in 2014 that kicked off the latest round of exploration and development. The Waitsia gas discovery inspired Strike Energy to enter the basin in 2018 with success at West Erregulla 2 in 2019 proving that porosity and permeability continues to preserved despite greater depth. To date\, Strike has drilled 13 deep wells and acquired 6 new seismic surveys across the Permian Kingia and Jurassic Cadda/Cattamarra plays. This has led to the discovery of 4 new gas fields\, one of which is now on production\, and two which are being developed. \n  \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 27th March 2025\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start\nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nThe luncheon will consist of 2 courses and drinks \nBookings close 5 pm Monday\, 24th March 2025 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT February Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT February Luncheon\nSeismic interpretation of the Petrel Sub-basin CO2 Storage Opportunity \nJames Komenza\nAbstract: \nAn integrated geologic and geophysical study of the Mesozoic storage resource in the Petrel Sub-basin (Bonaparte Basin). This study includes regional petrophysics\, geomechanics\, rock physics\, seismic reprocessing and inversion in an area of sparse well and seismic data. \nAlthough numerous wells have been drilled in the Petrel Sub-basin\, their focus has been the underlying Palaeozoic petroleum system\, resulting in scant or compromised data quality in the overburden. This often limits data utility for reservoir characterization\, field appraisal and development planning for the primary Mesozoic storage targets. Seismic reprocessing and quantitative interpretation supported by a model-based rock physics workflow have been used to fill in some of the gaps. This new data has been used to interpret depositional trends of both reservoir and seal\, reservoir quality\, heterogeneity and clay content\, seal presence and thickness\, and interval velocity away from well control. Insights from this study further highlight the suitability of G-11-AP for large scale CO2 storage. \n  \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 27ht February 2025\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start\nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nThe luncheon will consist of 3 courses and a 3-hour drinks package \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 24th February 2025 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT Christmas luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT Christmas luncheon\nAnnus Mirabilis\nThe breakthrough year when petroleum geoscience changed forever\nRhodri Johns\n  \nAbstract: \nIn a single remarkable year\, several key papers and books were published that revolutionised the petroleum geosciences. \nSome of these publications introduced groundbreaking ideas\, concepts\, and methodologies that stunned and astonished both academia and the petroleum industry. Others synthesised state of the art in disciplines such as sedimentology and geochemistry\, building on developments from the previous decades\, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle falling into place; these works not only led to a more innovative approach to petroleum exploration but also laid the foundations for systematic basin analysis\, play analysis\, petroleum systems analysis\, and risk analysis – approaches that would emerge as essential tools for the petroleum industry in the 1980/90s and beyond. \nWhat were these pivotal publications\, and who were their authors? How and where did these ideas and breakthroughs originate\, and how were they received by both academia and the industry? \nRhodri Johns will tell this story from a personal perspective\, offering new insights from those closer to the action. \n  \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 12 December 2024\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start\nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nThe luncheon will consist of 3 courses and a 3-hour drinks package \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 9th December 2024 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT November Luncheon: Natural Hydrogen Exploration in South Australia: An Update
DESCRIPTION:Natural Hydrogen Exploration in South Australia: \nAn Update\nChris Cubitt \nGeological Survey of South Australia\, Department for Energy and Mining \nhttp://www.energymining.sa.gov.au/ \nchris.cubitt@sa.gov.au \n  \nAbstract: \nSouth Australia took the lead nationally in enabling exploration licences for natural hydrogen on 11 February 2021 when amendments to the?Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Regulations 2013?declared hydrogen\, hydrogen compounds and by-products from hydrogen production ?regulated substances?. Following on from this\, seven companies have lodged over 40 applications for PELs targeting natural hydrogen over the State?s basins and crystalline basement provinces. PEL 687 is the first licence in Australia targeting natural hydrogen and was granted to first movers Gold Hydrogen Pty Ltd in July 2021 over Yorke Peninsula and Kangaroo Island. The second licence (PEL 691) was granted to H2EX in June 2022 over eastern Eyre Peninsula. An update will be given with respect to current exploration activities in both active licences and with reference to the current understanding of natural hydrogen prospectivity across South Australia. \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 28th November 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\, 25th November 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. Strictly no walk-ins.
