SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT May Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT May Luncheon\n“Update on Gold Hydrogen’s drilling on the Yorke Peninsula”\n Peter Bubendorfer\nGold Hydrogen\n  \nAbstract:\nGold Hydrogen was started by its founders in 2021 with applications lodged over historic hydrogen shows on Yorke Peninsula and Kangaroo Island. Applications were also lodged over areas of the Adelaide Geosyncline and Murray Basin as well as blocks on the Gawler Craton south of Whyalla. The company listed on the ASX in early 2023 and following the grant of PEL 687 has been a very active pioneering explorer. After flying airborne gravity and magnetics\, in 2023 the company twinned the original Ramsay Oil Bore hydrogen show with Ramsay 1 and 2\, intersecting up to 96% hydrogen and 37% helium\, some of the highest purities ever seen in underground wells. Post drilling\, a 2D seismic survey was carried out and at the end of 2025 two further wells were drilled which confirmed continuity of reservoir. The company is preparing to flow test its wells later this year. \n  \nEvent Details:\nThursday\, 28th May 2026 \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 May  2026 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT April Luncheon- Cooper Basin - seismic processing & where it leads ...
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT April Luncheon\nJoint meeting with ASEG SA-NT\nCooper Basin – seismic processing & where it leads …\nPeter Strauss\n  \nAbstract:\nProcessing and interpretation work on the Western Flank of the Cooper Basin indicate that modern land 3D seismic datasets are often not fit-for-purpose when targeting smaller-scale structures. One of the primary objective in this region\, the Namur horizon\, is typically a strong and easily identifiable seismic event. Exploration success therefore depends less on horizon picking and more on accurately positioning wells on genuine structural highs. However\, deeper targets beneath the Namur present greater challenges. In these intervals\, seismic events are often discontinuous and geologically inconsistent\, making both structural interpretation and imaging problematic. \nThis talk highlights two key issues: \nThe structural problem is not new—it was identified in 2D seismic data approximately 30 years ago\, where structural “corrections” were applied. These corrections have not been consistently carried through into modern 3D datasets.\nImaging quality in onshore seismic data is being compromised by the application of processing workflows originally developed for marine 3D seismic. These methods are poorly suited to land data\, where targets are significantly smaller and geological complexity is higher. Avoiding such approaches can yield sharper\, more geologically meaningful seismic images better suited to land exploration. \nEvent Details:\nThursday\, 30th April 2026 \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\, 27th April 2026 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT: Barry Goldstein Medal Lecture Tour Feb 2026 - Bruce Ainsworth
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT February Luncheon\n“Honouring the Humble Clinoform: Towards a Reservoir Modelling Best Practice”\nBruce Ainsworth\nPESA Barry Goldstein Medal Lecture Tour 2026\nSponsored by Santos\n  \nAbstract:\nClinoforms have fascinated Bruce since first pondering their economic significance in Shell Research Laboratories in the early 1990’s. These dipping stratal surfaces are ubiquitous in the stratigraphic record but often ignored with regard to their potential significant influence on fluid flow in the subsurface. Whether you are interested in hydrocarbon or groundwater extraction\, carbon sequestration\, or sediment hosted uranium\, you need to know if you are dealing with clinoforms. Clinoforms can have significant impacts on resource recovery and emplacement. Ignoring them or simply not recognising them can have profound (usually) negative impacts on project value. Key to making clinoforms your best friend are three steps; 1) recognition\, 2) uncertainty management\, and 3) targetted modelling. This talk will guide the clinoform user through these steps and suggest a reservoir modelling best practice for honouring the humble clinoform. \nEvent Details:\nThursday\, 26th Feb 2026 \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 Feb 2026 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT Annual General Meeting & Christmas Luncheon 2025
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT\nAnnual General Meeting & Christmas Luncheon\n\nDate: Thursday\, 11 December 2025\, Time: 12:30 PM\nVenue: Ayers House\, North Terrace\, Adelaide\n  \nAnnual General Meeting \nThe PESA South Australia/Northern Territory Branch invites all members to attend the 2025 Annual General Meeting (preceding the Christmas Luncheon) .This important event provides a valuable opportunity to reflect on the year’s progress\, recognize our collective achievements\, and plan for the year ahead. \nThe AGM will be held immediately prior to the PESA SA/NT Christmas Luncheon\, offering members the chance to engage in both professional discussion and seasonal celebration. \nAgenda \n\nPresident’s Report – Review of the Branch’s activities and milestones accomplished throughout 2025.\n\nTreasurer’s Report – Presentation of the financial summary and key fiscal updates. \n\n\nProposed 2026 Committee – Introduction of the nominated committee members for the upcoming year. \n\n\nAdditional Nominations from the Floor – Opportunity for further nominations to be put forward. \n\n\nAny Other Business (AOB) – Open discussion of other matters of interest to members. \n\n\nAll members are encouraged to attend\, contribute to the discussions\, and participate in the formation of the 2026 committee. Your engagement helps guide the direction of our Branch and ensures that our community continues to thrive. \n  \nChristmas Luncheon\nChristmas Geo-Crackers with David Grybowski\n\n  \nAbstract: \nBorn 29 May 2006 and not dead yet. Volcanoes are no strangers to Indonesia and Lusi is the ……………………………………………………………..wisdom in this thrilling Christmas luncheon. \nOops sorry! Wrong talk. A Christmas lunch is a time to have a few laughs\, and when you dig deep into the Lusi disaster\, it deserves our serious consideration later in the year.   \n For your entertainment\, David will instead present a trio of Christmas crackers.  \n\n Why Does The Niagara Fall?\n\n Forbes has Niagara Falls in second on their bucket list of travel destinations – wedged in between the Maldives and the Mona Lisa. But what is the geology over which the Niagara falls? Newlywed couples don’t care. Nobody is curious enough to ask this question except the Petroleum Exploration Society of Australia’s SA/NT branch. Once again\, David Grybowski will give you all the answers you’ve been yearning for.  \n\n Petroleum Dreaming of the Adelaide Plains \n\n In a short presentation\, David will geo-fantasise the petroleum reservoir targets present in the geomorphology of the Adelaide Plains as if they were depositional environments under a seal of transgressive mudstones and thousands of metres of overburden.   \n\n The Ancient Turkish Coast \n\n Time permitting\, David will reprise part of his Cry Me A River presentation that he gave in 2022 about the fluvial filling of the River Meander in western Turkey that left ancient ports stranded from the sea.  \n\n And a sneak preview of Lusi – The Greatest Mud Volcano Disaster in the World. \n\nA thrilling Whatdunnit and Who-pay-for-it.  \n  \nDavid returns to the PESA podium with another Christmas cracker-good pole axing of industry norms. October 2022 saw fluvial hi jinks with Cry Me A River and the world premiere of the petroleum play pitch The Project – A Play About Not Working Together.  For the Christmas luncheon of 2023\, David shared his rock-starred childhood with The Books That Hooked Me – an investigation of the childhood books and collectables that turned his head toward geology. David then revealed his interest in engineering with The Role of Toilet Paper; a descriptive tour de force of public paper dispensers we all love to hate. David’s 35 years in petroleum geology has given him ample opportunity to ponder where things might have gone wrong. Most of his experience was with Santos. \n Tickets for the luncheon: \n\n\n\nMembers $80.00\nNon-Members $120\nStudents $30.00\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 11 December 2025 \nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nThe luncheon will consist of 3 courses and a 3-hour drinks package \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nBookings close at 5 pm Monday\, 8th December 2025 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT November Luncheon : Moomba CCS
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT  November Luncheon\nMoomba CCS – delivering a world leading CO2 storage project\nAnthony Western (Santos)\n  \nAbstract:\nThe Moomba Carbon Capture and Storage project is a large-scale CCS project at the Moomba Gas Plant in the Cooper Basin\, South Australia. New facilities were constructed to capture\, dehydrate\, transport and permanently store CO2 emissions that were previously vented to atmosphere and depleted gas fields were selected as the initial storage reservoirs. Five new injection wells were drilled\, and existing wells were re-purposed as monitoring wells to enable the Monitoring and Verification (M&V) plan including environmental assurance monitoring. \nThe Moomba CCS project commenced operations in September 2024 and by June 2025 had safely captured and permanently stored more than 1.0 million tonnes of CO2 emissions. The wells and storage reservoir are performing as expected and monitoring wells are seeing signs of CO2 injection in line with reservoir model predictions. At 1.7 Mtpa CO2e\, it is one of the largest CCS projects in the world and its successful startup and early performance has enabled future CCS growth in the Cooper Basin. \nThis presentation will give an overview of the Moomba CCS project and share some of the results to date\, with a focus on subsurface scope. \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 20th November 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\, 17th Nov 2025 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

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.

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

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.

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.

In order to address these challenges\, we developed two novel in-situ laser-based methods that have the potential to quickly and accurately resolve these processes. 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. Strictly no walk-ins.
