SUMMARY:PESA WA October Technical Evening:  Three-Dimensional Architecture of Wave-Dominated Delta Deposits
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science: \n \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft\, Qeye\, Totum Compliance\, Core Laboratories and Task Fronterra Geoscience: \n                       \n       \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical evening on Thursday 2nd October.\nSupported by Santos Ltd.\nThree-Dimensional Architecture of Wave-Dominated Delta Deposits\nPresented by Brian J. Willis (Willis Geoscience)\n\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. \nTicket Prices:\nMember: $25.00 \nStudent Member: $10.00 \nNon-Member: $50.00 \nStudent Member pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST). \n

SUMMARY:2025 Acreage Release in the Polda and Otway Basins\, SA
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nA key motivation for the South Australian 2025 acreage release is the looming shortfall in energy supply in the southeast Australian market. To facilitate the discovery and production of more gas\, the South Australian Department for Energy and Mining (SADEM) is currently offering prospective acreage in a competitive bid process in two basins (Polda and Otway) across the state.

SUMMARY:PESA WA October Technical Lunch: Fault timing and depocentre development in the northern Perth Basin
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science: \n \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft\, Qeye and Task Fronterra Geoscience: \n                       \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 16th October.\nFault timing and depocentre development in the northern Perth Basin\nPresented by Chris Watts (School of Earth and Planetary Sciences\, Curtin University)\n\nDespite extended periods of exploration in the Perth Basin spanning decades\, the timing of fault activity\, and shifts in depocentre development remain unclear\, especially for intra-basinal faults. Multiple phases of rifting with variable extension directions during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic resulted in a series of predominantly NNW–SSE trending graben and half-graben extending from the Southern Carnarvon Basin in the north\, through the Perth Basin in the south. Two regions of greater structural complexity are indicated by gravity and magnetic data along the margin\, one of which occurs within the northern Perth Basin and the other between sub-basins of the Southern Carnarvon Basin. Recently acquired seismic surveys that better image the pre-Mesozoic stratigraphy in the northern Perth Basin\, paired with legacy seismic and well data have allowed the investigation of fault timing and show a progressive southward shift in fault activity and depocentre location from the late Carboniferous through to the Early Cretaceous\, and that some faults\, despite having different similar orientations\, initiate at different times. Of particular importance is a change in extension direction in the late Triassic and early Jurassic that allowed the development of E-W trending faults. \nTicket Prices:\nMember (Early Bird): $69.00 \nConcession Member [Retired or Hardship]: $59.00 \nStudent Member: $10.00 \nGraduate Member: $20.00 \nNon-Member: $99.00 \nMember (Non-Early Bird): $79.00 \nEarly bird\, Concession\, Student and Graduate Member pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST).
