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 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.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT August Technical Luncheon  "Critical Minerals in SA – The road to net zero"
DESCRIPTION:Critical Minerals in SA – The road to net zero\nPresented by: Bronwyn A Camac (Geological Survey of South Australia)\n\n  \nAbstract \n\nFor about 150 years\, the use of petroleum products has driven world economies and is the greatest influence on quality-of-life improvement.\nBefore then\, we burned whatever we could find\, to keep us warm\, to fuel our emerging technologies\, and to cook our food. But most of these fuels could not keep up with population growth. Our forests were being pillaged\, our health declined due to coal pollution and our oceans stripped of whales.\nOur societies turned to the emerging new fuel – oil and its cleaner partner\, natural gas. We found its value more than just a fuel – we could make things from it – plastic\, clothes\, medicines\, fertilisers\, cosmetics\, and the list goes on and on. So\, dependent upon these products\, it becomes difficult to imagine that we can ever do without them.\nBut that time has come\, just as with wood\, coal and whales\, the market has outgrown us\, demanding cleaner fuels and products which has no effect on the earth and its climate.\nThis single most disruptive event of the last 150 years is being addressed in all countries to drive our economies toward net-zero carbon emission. To support net-zero targets\, the market is moving towards new technologies\, such as electric vehicles\, renewable technologies\, space technology\, telecommunication and defence. All of these technologies need critical minerals.\nThis is space where the mineral resource industry and the energy resource industry collide!\nCritical minerals are described by Geoscience Australia as “minerals that are essential to our modern technologies\, economies and national security\, and whose supply chains are vulnerable to disruption.”\nSouth Australia is well-endowed with many of the minerals and metals projected to be in short supply as this energy transition progresses. SA is rich in copper and currently holds 69% of Australia’s copper resource. It is a major producer of mineral sands\, with their associated rare earth elements and is rich in graphite. A state-wide study is currently underway to uncover SA’s full resource potential\, putting us at the forefront of the world’s energy transformation. \n\n\nEvent Details:\nThursday\,  August 24th\, 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\, 21st August\nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:Structural Geology training course by Prof. Ken McClay
DESCRIPTION:The PESA SA-NT Branch will be hosting a 5-day structural geology training course by Professor Ken McClay from Monday 21st to Friday 25th of August. Bookings are now OPEN!! \nThis five-day classroom course consists of lectures\, seismic interpretation exercises and case histories. The course presents modern concepts of structural geology focused on fault and fold systems that form hydrocarbon traps in sedimentary basins. Emphasis is placed on the integration of data in order to determine the 4D evolution of structures\, their seismic expressions as well as utilising case histories and natural examples that can be analogues for sub-surface hydrocarbon traps. \nThe lectures are extensively illustrated with field examples\, remote sensing examples\, seismic sections\, conceptual models and in particular analogue models of fault systems – many models are shown as movies that demonstrate the progressive evolution of fault and fold systems. Practical exercises and examples are excellent seismic examples of structural styles in a large format A3 workbook. \nKey Themes of the training are given below\, and more details are in the attached Programme: \n1. Fault systems in sedimentary basins – Tectonic regimes; fault mechanics; fault geometries; fault growth & segmentation patterns\n2. Extensional fault systems – Planar extensional faults – 2D & 3D geometries; rift systems & passive margins; folding associated with extension\nListric & ramp-flat listric extensional faults; delta tectonics – hydrocarbon systems\n3. Inversion tectonics – Positive inversion systems; inverted rift basins & thick-skinned fault systems\, hydrocarbon systems in inverted terranes\n4. Strike-slip terranes – Tectonic settings of strike-slip systems; oblique convergence; transform faults; characteristic styles of strike-slip structures\n5. Thrust fault systems – Thrust fault & fold geometries; key structural styles; 2D & 3D modelling of thrust fault systems; thrust-fault-related fold systems; foreland fold & thrust belts; deepwater fold & thrust faults – delta systems and accretionary prisms. \n  \nRegular prices of: \n\nPESA Member:   $5500\nNon-Member:    $6000\nStudent:               $75\n\n  \nFor this event we will only be selling: \n\nPESA Member: 10 tickets\nNon Member: 6 tickets\nStudent: 4 tickets\n\n*A couple ticket spaces are still available!* If the tickets below are listed as ‘sold out’\, please contact us to arrange a spot for you. \nTicket sales close Sun 13th Aug @6pm

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT July Technical Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:A seismic source field trial in the Bass Strait: Testing the impact of several different source configurations on geophysical quality\, received sound\, and direct impact on scallops and lobsters\nPresented by: John Cocker (Beach Energy)\n\n  \nAbstract:\nBeach Energy acquired a seismic source technology field trial in Dec 2021 in the shallow waters (50-80m) of the Bass Strait. The trial consisted of eight source tests acquired along two 2D lines\, including: a full-size array (2480 cu.in.) with Sercel G-GUN II in a wide-tow triple source configuration\, eSourceTM (2098 & 1049 cu. in.)\, reduced size (300\, 700 & 1260 cu.in.)\, and Distributed Source tests including Shearwaters Apparition test (140 & 340 cu.in.). A test of a 70 cu.in. airgun was also recorded during a whale mitigation procedure. The aim of the field trial is to investigate whether any of these source options: \n1. Provide the required geophysical data quality \n2. Significantly alter the received anthropogenic sound levels (SPL and SEL) \n3. Changes the impacts on benthic invertebrates via analysis of scallop and lobster specimens placed on the seafloor \nThis combined data will then be used to determine if any of the alternative source options are suitable replacements for conventional full-sized arrays and if any provide a meaningful reduction to potential impact on marine organisms. \nThe study was performed in conjunction with the Institute for Marine & Antarctic Studies\, Fisheries Research & Development Corporation\, Curtin University\, and the Department of Natural Resources & Environment Tasmania. \nScallop and lobster specimens as a model species for crustaceans and molluscs were placed on the seabed below the full array (triple and single source)\, both eSource arrays and one control location. The specimens were assessed over 6 months for physical damage\, chronic effects and survival\, pH\, refractive index\, total and differential haemocyte cell counts\, DNA damage and biochemistry. Lobsters were also assessed for righting ability. The results will not be available until Q4 2023. Noise loggers were collocated with the specimens to measure received sound. \nThe data processing was completed by Shearwater. The results show that all options result in lower S/N raw shot gathers; but also\, that modern processing algorithms are able to compensate for most of this through noise attenuation\, deblending and designature. eSource (2098 and 1049 cu.in.) and the reduced source size options provide very similar final stack and migrated gather quality to the full array. Both apparition tests (140 & 340 cu.in.) were very similar in 2D stack quality but with slightly lower S/N below 4Hz and above 64Hz. The data quality of the other distributed source tests was better in the shallow but worse in the deep due to poor randomisation achieved. There are differences in gather quality that require further investigation. These results demonstrate that alternative sources and/or smaller volumes have the potential to meet survey objectives whilst reducing impact on marine life. \n  \nEvent Details:\nThursday\, July 27th\, 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 Tuesday\, 25th July\nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT June Technical Luncheon  "A new 3D structural model for the Porgera Region\, PNG Fold Belt: the integration of petroleum and minerals exploration methods"
DESCRIPTION:A new 3D structural model for the Porgera Region\, PNG Fold Belt: the integration of petroleum and minerals exploration methods.\nPresented by: Gareth T. Cooper\, Enigma Energy Services\nWork by: Gareth T. Cooper\, Kevin C. Hill\, Peter Essy\, Mark Haydon & Agnes Pokondepa\n  \nAbstract \n\nThe Porgera Region is a complex strike-slip pull-apart zone located in the central Highlands of PNG. The region sits on the northern margin of fold belt close to the boundary with the Mobile Belt. The region is ~70km NE of the Hides gas field and has been the subject of numerous regional studies by petroleum companies since the early 1970’s. Porgera hosts a gold mine which is one of the richest in the world and lies in a wide valley at an elevation of 2800m surrounded by mountains up to 4000m elevation. The intrusive underlying the Porgera ore-body was emplaced in the earliest Pliocene at the time of maximum compression during orogenesis. \nThe mine has been active for some 30+ years and has been the subject of multiple geological studies over that period. However nearly all studies to date have concentrated on local-scale mapping using methods commonly utilised in the minerals industry. In 2019-2020\, the mine operators\, PJV\, engaged a new study\, this time at a regional-scale and deliberately integrating methods commonly used in the petroleum sector. This included the integration of legacy petroleum data including palynology\, field dips and mapping\, as well as the acquisition of new data including new field transects\, palynology\, pyrolysis-Tmax and the incorporation of these data into thermal modelling and 3D structural modelling software (3D Move). \nThis new regional mapping of the area used high resolution LIDAR in association with field mapping\, analysis of gravity and magnetics data and drilling of 300-500m deep core-holes has allowed development of a detailed 3D structural model. The draft model was used to guide a regional drilling campaign in early 2023 as well as a follow-up sampling program for palynology and pyrolysis. The model also reveals much about previously unknown regional heating events in the Late Cretaceous-Palaeocene as well as the distribution of the Jurassic Om Beds and the Late Cretaceous Chim Formation\, both of which are thermally mature and may have the potential to host deep gas reservoirs. \nThis presentation discusses the methodologies used in the study and the unique integration of minerals and petroleum methods. The resultant model elucidates much about both the Pliocene emplacement of gold-bearing fluids in the area as well as the potential for deep Toro and Chim-aged gas reservoirs within deep structures. \n\n\nEvent Details:\nThursday\,  June 29th\, 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\, 26th June\nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.
