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 ACT/NSW September Technical Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Tony Allan – The Darai Limestone\, T-Letter stages and strontium with everything: exploration stratigraphy in the Papuan Basin\, a lab and field perspective.\nNotice: Date change to Tuesday 19th September \nThe Oligo-Miocene Darai Limestone crops out over much of the Papuan Fold Belt in the western Papuan Basin\, so its stratigraphy is critical in developing structural models to target Mesozoic reservoirs. Since its first application in the Muller Range in 1990 by Mobil\, strontium (Sr) dating has been used extensively throughout the Papuan Fold to map the base Darai surface. Most of the isotopic analysis was done at the CSIRO labs in Sydney\, in conjunction with petrographic study of limestones as a QC on Sr ages. Without name-dropping too many species\, the talk will outline how the petrographic and field research revitalised the conventional “T-Letter” foram biostratigraphy and Darai microfacies stratigraphy through its calibation to the Sr data. This has been a close collaborative effort with many exploration companies – so some industry geologists might be named. \nExploration for Tertiary limestone reservoirs in the eastern Papuan Basin was revived by InterOil in the early 2000s\, resulting in the 2009 Antelope gas discovery in a Miocene “reef”. By contrast with the Darai “platform”\, in the east sedimentation in a more rifted margin is reflected in the Tertiary sequence; with localised shallow carbonate deposition contiguous with deeper water carbonate and clastic sedimentation\, and the tectonic overprint from the middle Miocene of foreland  Aure  volcanigenic sediments. Within this setting the stratigraphic record of marker forams (& other calacreous microfssils) is complicated by geological factors including reworking and condensation/non-deposition. As a result\, the “noise free” T-Letter scheme and broader microfacies sequence in the Darai has been important to the exploration search for carbonate reservoirs in the east. \nThis account will touch on lessons relevant to ongoing exploration; (1) some findings on Sr age anomalies and their geological and diagenetic causes that have emerged\, particularly in the search for “reef reservoirs in the eastern Papuan basin\, and (2) potential to refine Tertiary sedimentaion models with the large basinwide petrographic and Sr dataset that captures time-facies information. And some concluding remarks on the Darai exploration legacy for current and future Tertiary basin research on the Australian Margin.

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:PESA WA August Technical Lunch:  Flexible Solutions for both CCS Measurement\, Monitoring\, and Verification (MMV) and Offshore Windfarm Developments
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB \n  \n \nGold Sponsors Katalyst Data Management\, Applied Geoscience\, Delft Inversion\, DUG and IKON Science \n                \n                                                \n \nand Silver Sponsor Qeye \n \n  \nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 17th August\nFlexible Solutions for both CCS Measurement\, Monitoring\, and Verification (MMV) and Offshore Windfarm Developments \nPresented by Andrew Long (PGS) \nMeasurement\, Monitoring\, and Verification (MMV) are essential to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects\, ensuring their effectiveness\, safety\, and regulatory compliance. Precise CO2 emission measurements\, ongoing project performance monitoring\, and independent data verification provide stakeholder confidence in the CCS system’s greenhouse gas reduction\, safe operation\, and prompt issue resolution. \nLikewise\, developing ground models for offshore wind turbine placement demands a comprehensive approach that addresses various geotechnical\, geophysical\, regulatory\, and stakeholder aspects. \nA common element should be that any ‘baseline’ geophysical platform is built to best practice standards for both CCS and Wind projects. For CCS\, accurate subsurface characterization ensures reliable site candidate selection and ranking\, facilitating the deployment of appropriate monitoring technologies post-CO2 injection in a cost-effective manner. Similarly\, high-resolution 3D geophysical data for Wind projects enable the development of an accurate 3D ground model for integrating subsequent geotechnical and geophysical measurements\, reducing the need for costly new surveys when adjusting turbine foundation locations. \nThis talk comprises four stages: \n\nI present AI\, machine learning\, and automation solutions to enhance the petrophysical and geological understanding of near-surface and overburden areas crucial for both CCS containment and Wind projects.\nI outline an efficient workflow for CCS site screening\, focusing on Container and Containment elements.\nI briefly discuss methods for acquiring high-resolution (HR) and ultra-high-resolution (UHR) seismic data cost-effectively\, including suggestions for congested infrastructure areas where traditional seismic surveys are logistically challenging.\nI describe subsurface characterization (both CCS and Wind) and monitoring solutions (for CCS) that leverage innovations from stages 1 and 3.\n\n\nEvent Sponsors: \n \nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $69.00 \nConcession Member [Retired\, Graduate or Hardship] (Early Bird): $59.00 \nStudent Member (Early Bird): $39.00 \nNon-Member: $99.00 \nMember (Non-Early Bird): $79.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST).

SUMMARY:PESA ACT/NSW August Technical Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Federal Government False Narrative About Cause of East Coast Gas Supply Shortage\, Gas Price Cap and Gas Reservation\nI have major concerns about the prevalence of misinformation spread by politicians\, leaders at the UN and the media. Evidence-based decision making has been replaced by emotional beliefs\, with politicians and senior bureaucrats spreading false information without being held accountable. The mainstream media prioritises sensational news over evidence-based reporting and avoids conducting in-depth research. The ABC and SBS\, two taxpayer-funded media outlets\, solely presenting one-sided and propagandistic reporting rather than a balanced\, evidence based narrative. \nThe reason for recent high natural gas prices and supply shortages in eastern Australia has falsely been blamed by Anthony Albanese and his Labor Government Ministers on the war in Ukraine. \nGas price increases began before the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the 2022 price spike was caused by local factors. The Federal Government then used the excuse that the gas shortage and higher prices were caused by the war in Ukraine to justify implementation of new legislation that enforced a gas price cap and domestic gas reservation. This presents as a socialist intervention. \nMisinformation is prevalent in politics\, the media and Government discussions about gas prices. Evidence-based facts are overlooked in favour of emotional narratives.\nThe increase in east coast gas prices can be attributed almost solely to a domestic gas supply shortage. That gas supply shortage has been caused by State Government energy policies.\nThe ACCC’s gas report reveals that domestic gas contract prices increased from late 2020 to mid-2021 and the supply outlook from 2022 onwards appears tight.\nThe 2022 Australian Energy Regulator “Gas Markets” report highlights a period of sustained high gas prices and tight supply in east coast gas markets. Factors such as depleting southern gas reserves\, overlapping electricity market dynamics and short-term spot exposure during the higher demand winter period contributed to the increase in gas demand and subsequently gas prices. \nThe blame for the gas supply shortage can be attributed to past and present State Governments in NSW\, Victoria\, SA\, and Queensland who have limited access to new petroleum exploration areas through regulations\, lack of expedited approvals and withholding vast areas prospective for gas exploration.\nThe absence of a coordinated national energy policy\, combined with subsidies for renewable energy projects has resulted in a shortage of reliable\, low-cost base load electricity which in turn has increased electricity prices and gas supply shortages. \nThe false narrative surrounding human-caused climate change has directly led to policies condemning fossil fuels and limiting onshore petroleum exploration. The finance sector’s withdrawal of funding for fossil fuel projects\, the abandonment of support by business groups and the lack of defence by petroleum exploration and production companies has also contributed to the situation. \nContrary to the narrative\, the Australian export LNG projects were not robbing gas from domestic supply. These projects were developed for the existing\, lucrative LNG export market in Asia\, where prices were higher and long-term contracts were more feasible. The small domestic east coast gas markets were adequately supplied by other domestic sources and the large gas reserves associated with LNG projects could not have been sold in Australia due to the small market size.\nThere is an urgent need for a coherent national energy policy incorporating a balanced approach to renewable energy and an orderly transition to ensure a reliable energy supply and mitigate the impact of rising gas and electricity prices.\nLegislative power for petroleum exploration and production in onshore areas\, including State-controlled waters\, is governed by each State and Territory under the Australian Constitution. \nThere has been significant depletion of existing onshore gas fields through production in South Australia\, Victoria\, and Queensland and also in the offshore gas fields Victorian\, South Australia and Tasmania. These gas fields are in many cases approaching the final stages of their production life and with the declining production rates comes increased production costs which is passed on to the consumer in the form of higher gas prices. \nThe lengthy and costly State Government regulatory processes\, community consultations and bureaucratic obstacles faced by petroleum exploration companies have all hindered the addition of a new gas supply. These processes often lead to delays and unnecessary costs which are ultimately either borne by exploration company shareholders or in the case of successful projects are funded by consumers through higher commodity prices. \nNew South Wales (NSW) petroleum exploration was effectively halted in 2011 initially in response to the Government responding to activists claims of the damage caused by the use of fracking. The NSW Government then conducted a review of petroleum exploration resulting in the cancellation of all existing petroleum exploration licenses except for those related to the Santos-controlled coal seam gas project in the Narrabri region. \nThe NSW Government referred to the cancelled licences as “zombie licences” claiming that they had all passed their expiry date or had not met their financial commitments. In fact\, the NSW Government had applied a compulsory moratorium on exploration in 2011 which prevented the titleholders from meeting their financial commitments by conducting exploration activities. \nApplication for development approval of the Narrabri Gas Project was first submitted in 2014 with conditional approval not granted until September\, 2020 – a 6 year process!!! In the meantime NSW has no domestic gas supply and is totally dependent on gas imports from South Australia\, Queensland and Victoria\, a rapidly dwindling gas resource. \nPetroleum exploration and development policies in Victoria\, South Australia\, and Queensland has effectively halted onshore gas exploration and the addition of a new gas supply. Moratoriums and bans on onshore gas exploration and development in Victoria as well as the competitive tendering processes for new exploration areas in South Australia and Queensland have either stopped or greatly reduced gas exploration in those states. The Queensland government has prioritised the release of new areas for coal seam gas and unconventional gas leading to limited opportunities for conventional gas exploration. \nThe demonization of fossil fuels by state governments along with the withdrawal of prospective exploration areas has resulted in a gas supply shortage and increased gas prices on the east coast. Additionally\, the replacement of fossil fuels with heavily subsidized renewable energy sources without a proper transition plan is seen as a contributing factor to the gas supply shortage\, high gas prices\, and electricity grid imbalances. \nThere are major concerns with the long-term impact on the average citizen\, businesses and productivity due to government policies and subsidies that favour renewable energy over fossil fuels.

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 ACT/NSW July Technical Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Household renewable energy journey\, and more\nWhat is a VPP and how can you be part of one? Can you get electricity off the grid for free\, or get paid for taking it? Can you as an individual trade electricity? What is VTG or VTH\, and how will these revolutionise electricity supply in the future? Why is South Australia so far ahead in the renewables race\, and how was John Howard involved? How will the transition to renewables work in Australia\, and how long will it take? How much does it really cost to run an electric car? What percentage of electricity production is now renewable? \nThese and other questions will be addressed in this discussion of going all electric. Home solar systems provide the means to monitor one’s electricity generation and usage\, at 5 minute intervals. \nComparisons of different periods (days\, seasons\, years) allow the user to evaluate\, for example\, the effect of La Niña on solar production\, winter versus summer\, and the need for backup from the grid\, and to determine what device in your household is sucking up all that electricity. Even if you don’t have a solar system you can optimize your use of solar energy if you want to. Some weird and wonderful data displays from the Australian Energy Market Operator’s website will be shared\, comparing state by state energy generation by power source\, usage and price.

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.

SUMMARY:PESA QLD: AGM and Technical Lunch\, 22nd June : Melbana Energy in Cuba – an exploration success in the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:This month PESA Queensland welcomes Duncan Lockhart to present a technical luncheon highlighting Melbana Energy’s activities and the complex and fascinating geology of Cuba. \nThe Technical Lunch will be held at the Brisbane Hilton Hotel\, in Room 83 (Level 8). \nThe Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the PESA QLD Branch will be hosted prior to the commencement of the Technical Lunch. \nFor detailed directions\, see explanation below. \nPlease note the Early Bird ticket pricing cut-off times described below. \n\n\n\nPresentation:\nMelbana Energy in Cuba – an exploration success in the Caribbean\n\n\nVenue:\nHilton Hotel Brisbane\, 190 Elizabeth Street\, Brisbane QLD 4000\nRoom 83\, Level 8\n(Detailed directions below)\n\n\nDate & Time:\nThursday\, 22 June 12:15 PM\n\n\n\n  \nPresentation Abstract: \nIn September 2015 Melbana Energy was awarded the Block 9 PSC\, an onshore block on the north coast of Cuba which covers over 2\,344 km2. The block is 140km east of Havana in a proven hydrocarbon system and on trend with the multi-billion barrel Varadero oil field. Cuba currently produces approximately 45\,000 barrels of oil per day and 3 million cubic metres of gas. Oil production meets 50% of the domestic consumption\, with the balance satisfied by imports. Most of the oil industry is currently operated by the national oil company\, CUPET. The Canadian company\, Sherritt International\, has been producing oil in Cuba for over 25 years. \nThe geology of northern Cuba is dominated by complex fold and thrust belt geology which has encapsulated rich source rocks\, fractured carbonate reservoirs\, serpentinitic shales and ophiolites. Seismic data in Block 9 is limited to various vintages of 2D data of generally poor quality. Melbana has drilled two exploration wells to date in Block 9\, the first well Alameda-1 was spudded in September 2021 and drilled to a depth of 4000m. This well encountered continuous oil shows from as shallow as 400m with oil regularly flowing over the shakers while drilling. Several high-pressure zones were encountered whilst drilling reflecting the intersection of separate pressure compartments bounded by various thrust faults. A total of 218m of net log pay was encountered (precluding zones which could not be logged due to adverse hole conditions). A total of 6.4 billion barrels OOIP with 362 mmbbls of P50 prospective resource have subsequently been independently certified at Alameda based on seismic mapping and the well result. The second well Zapato-1 reached a total depth of 3700m. Oil was observed flowing over the shakers at the top of the ophiolite sequence from a fault zone indicating access to a mature oil generative system below the ophiolites\, unfortunately the well reached TD still within the ophiolites\, above the anticipated reservoir section. A review of the gravity and magnetic model is underway to ascertain a more favourable location for a potential Zapato follow up. \nA two well appraisal campaign designed with the prime objective to obtain a measure flow rate of the Alameda numerous discovery zones is on track to spud at the end of June 2023. \n  \n  \n\nTickets for the Technical Luncheon can be purchased below. \nPlease be advised of the early bird cut-off date. \nEarly bird pricing will remain available up until Wednesday\, 14 June 11:30 PM  after which\, standard pricing will come into effect. \nFinal numbers to venue required by Monday\, 19 June 12:00 PM – To avoid disappointment please register before that date and time. \n  \n\n\n\n\nEarly Bird Ticket Price\nStandard Ticket Price\n\n\n\n\nPESA Members – $55\nNon-Members – $75\nStudent / Retired Members – $30\nPESA Members – $75\nNon-Members – $95\nStudent / Retired Members – $30\n\n\n\n\nRegistrants may elect to book a ‘Talk Only’ ticket below.  Chairs will be made available at the back of the room for members wishing to attend the presentation. \nTalk Only tickets are free of charge\, however\, no refreshments or lunch is included. \n\nPESA QLD 2023 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING\nThe Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the PESA QLD Branch will be hosted prior to the commencement of the Technical Lunch. \nMembers are encouraged to attend the AGM to have their say with the PESA QLD committee. \nPESA QLD are always interested to have active involvement from our membership… and what better way than to take up a position on the PESA QLD Committee!  Interested members who are keen to become a committee member are encouraged to lodge a nomination form (see link below).  Any member is invited to nominate for any of the available roles detailed on the Nomination form.  Any questions\, please email qld-secretary@pesa.com.au \nPlease find below the requisite AGM governance documents for distribution to members\, provided at least 21 days ahead of the AGM as required by the PESA Constitution: \nAgenda AGM 2023\nProxy Form\nMinutes of 2022 AGM\nNomination form\n2022 President’s Report \n\nThe venue location can be accessed by two means: \n1) Entry from Queen Street Mall\nTake the lifts to Level 6\, and walk to the guest lifts located in the centre of the main atrium and take the lift to Level 8.

SUMMARY:PESA WA June Technical lunch talk - Monitoring of the reservoir pressure & saturation changes using Extended Elastic Impedance from time lapse seismic data: Enfield Field
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB \n  \n \nGold Sponsors Katalyst Data Management\, Applied Geoscience\, Delft Inversion and DUG \n                \n                                                \nand Silver Sponsor Qeye \n \n  \nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 15th June\n\n“Monitoring reservoir pressure and saturation changes using extended elastic impedence from time lapse seismic data: Enfield Field\, NW Australia”\nPresented by Sergey Shevchenko\, SIS Exploration Pty Ltd\nThe Extended Elastic Impedance (EEI) concept has been used by the oil industry primarily for lithology and fluid prediction. We present a method of reservoir monitoring that calculates changes in pressure and saturation in a producing reservoir by applying EEI to time-lapse seismic data. The method uses time-lapse seismic difference data rotated to specific EEI χ angles which are optimised for the changes expected in a given reservoir. One angle is found to be appropriate to identify predicted changes in saturation\, using fluid substitution models\, while the other angle is found from rock-physics assumptions or laboratory measurements of fluid-pressure changes. \nOur technique is tested using time-lapse seismic data for the Enfield oil field\, in the North West Shelf\, Australia\, with estimates of optimal EEI rotation angles χ based on log data and Biot-Gassmann modelling for the fluid changes\, and on rock physics models fit to measurements made on core samples for the pressure changes. Reflectivity and inversion domains were used using various approaches to test results qualitatively and quantitively. \nThe final calculated pressure and saturation maps predicted areas where changes in pressure and/or saturation changes were expected. It was successfully tested with two areas of changing the pressure from the well data\, showing that our quantitative results are credible. Additionally\, our results coincide with the Enfield operator’s maps for pressure and saturation predictions. \n  \nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $69.00 \nConcession Member [Retired\, Graduate or Hardship] (Early Bird): $59.00 \nStudent Member (Early Bird): $39.00 \nNon-Member: $99.00 \nMember (Non-Early Bird): $79.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST). All ticket sales close at 5pm Tuesday (2 days prior). \n  \nRefund Policy: Refunds are only applicable if notified in writing to WA-secretary@pesa.com.au prior to the close of ticket sales. Refunds will be issued to all participants in the case that government regulations prevent the event taking place.

SUMMARY:PESA ACT/NSW June Technical Lunch
DESCRIPTION:THE FEDERAL BUDGET 10 MAY 2023\, ITS CONTENTS AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE ENERGY INDUSTRY\nThe Federal Budget is far from what is contained in the Treasurers Speech\, the associated Ministers Press releases\, the Budget documents themselves and the massive rhetoric that will flow from days after the actual speech in the House. There will be countless hours spent in preparing treatises and marketing documents from the many who feed off the circus and the media who have a vested interested in selling whatever. \nThe reality becomes a lot clearer when those with patience and tenacity actually spend time post delivery of the package of above by delving far deeper and working through both what is included in those documents and just as importantly what is NOT included. \nThis presentation given many days post the circus will address as many issues as become apparent with as much depth as is possible in a 30 minute talk\, both being advanced and provided in common language avoiding jargon. \nThe more publicised issues are going to include the changes to the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax rules and funding for hydrogen and renewable energy sources\, but that means there will be hidden stories for nuclear energy\, major infrastructure support\, graphite production and research into alternatives to lithium-ion batteries. The deliberate intention will be to make this session hum with ideas\, identified issues and positive thoughts of how Australia can “move forward”\, while keeping cost increases down for the masses. \nNotice: previous event on PNG Darai Limestone by Tony Allan cancelled\, apologies for any inconvenience caused. \nAGM Documents\n2023_PESANSW_Annual_Report \nPESA NSW 2022 AGM Minutes Draft \nPESA NSW Branch Committee Nomination Form 2023 \nPESANSWBranch-AGMNotice2023
