SUMMARY:February 2025 Workshop - Good Model: Bad Models – How Can We Tell?
DESCRIPTION: Good Model: Bad Models – How Can We Tell? \nA one-day workshop with Mark Bentley\, 13th February 2025 \nReservoir and simulation models are widely used to generate forecasts and support decision-making in operating companies\, yet the results often disappoint.  Where do models ‘go bad’\, and what can we do to address the disappointments? \n\nFirstly: sometimes we do OK.  There are excellent examples of useful models which help support good development decisions and help move us forward. \nHowever\, there is also a broad tendency towards over-optimism in modelling\, a habit of making forecast ranges which are too narrow and key heterogeneity is often lost in the modelling process\, leading to misleading predictions. \nIn this one-day workshop\, common causes are shared\, along with suggested solutions and\, for those who use or review models\, things to query. \n\nWorkshop will take place at the Parmelia Hilton Hotel\, Perth on the 13th February 2025: \nMembers: $400 \nNon-Members: $500 \nStudent Members: $100

SUMMARY:PESA WA February 13th Evening Talk: New Tricks for Old Dogs: Modelling for the Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA invites you to a technical Evening Event Thursday 13th February.\nNew Tricks for Old Dogs: Modelling for the Energy Transition\nPresented by Mark Bentley (Langdale Geoscience) \nSo\, the plan is to store CO2 … \nIf we’re involved in making reservoir and simulation models for oil and gas production\, what do we have to do differently now for the world of storage?  On the face of it\, these are just gas disposal schemes (simple).  On closer inspection\, it’s not quite like that\, and it turns out it’s much more interesting (harder). \nThis short talk looks at some areas of change and the aspects we need to get right if our forecasts are to be meaningful at all.  There’s a clear shift from sedimentary to more structural themes (which we have to be much better at)\, a replacement of familiar concepts such as in-place resource volumes and recovery factor to less familiar ideas of storativity and storage efficiency and a rethink of the importance of heterogeneity in the face of different fluids and in a non-isothermal world. \nThe scales we model at will need to be different\, and so will the timescales.  There’s also the over-arching issue that best solutions are likely to lie in aquifers\, yet most projects on the drawing board are for depleted gas fields. Some technical reservoir issues are clearly less important than they were during production\, but others are more critical in areas where our supporting data is limited. \nNot really prosecco – more like olive oil. \n  \nTimings for the event: \nDate: Thursday 13st February 2025 \nVenue: Parmelia Hilton Hotel\, Perth \nTime: 6pm – 8pm (Perth time) \n  \n\nPESA Members:                                $40.00 (PESA Members must Log on to the PESA website to purchase) \nNon-members:                                 $50.00 \nPESA Students Members:              Free (registration is essential)

SUMMARY:PESA WA February Technical Lunch: Natural Hydrogen in Western Australia
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science and DUG: \n                                              \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft and Qeye: \n              \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 20th February.\nNatural Hydrogen in Western Australia\nPresented by Leon Normore (Geological Survey of Western Australia)\n\nThe nascent field of natural hydrogen investigations is expanding rapidly worldwide. Recent studies in Australia have documented hydrogen in natural gas samples in both sedimentary basins and cratonic settings. Study of open file data at the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) focused on historical occurrences of hydrogen primarily within the onshore sedimentary basins. Petroleum wells were the primary data source\, but natural hydrogen has also been detected in mineral exploration drillholes\, shallow gas seep drilling and water bores in Western Australia. The GSWA has investigated soil gas spot sampling and continuous soil gas measurements for natural hydrogen in the Canning and Perth Basins. Additional studies include the use of Fluid Inclusion Stratigraphy (FIS) from well cuttings and core demonstrating anomalous zones of both hydrogen and helium in petroleum wells. \nLegislation for exploration of natural hydrogen in Western Australia was passed in May 2024 by adding hydrogen as a prescribed regulated substance to the Petroleum Legislation Amendment Act 2024. Supporting regulations for natural hydrogen exploration are currently being developed in conjunction with the transport and storage of greenhouse gas regulations. \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). All ticket sales close at 5pm Tuesday (2 days prior). \n

SUMMARY:Wadjemup (Rottnest) Field Trip - Carbonate systems\, sea level change and Quokkas
DESCRIPTION:Wadjemup (Rottnest) Field Trip – Carbonate systems\, sea level change and Quokkas– by bike\nLed by Dr Moyra Wilson (University of Western Australia) \nThough some 18 km offshore at the present day\, during previous glacial lowstands Wadjemup (Rottnest Island) was joined to the mainland. Evidence of fluctuating sea-levels and environmental change is preserved both in the oral histories of the Whadjuk Noongar people but also the rocks and landforms of the island. Wadjemup offers excellent opportunity to explore classic carbonate aeolianites\, coral reef\, lacustrine and lagoonal deposits and marine features that are a conspicuous feature of the Pleistocene Tamala Limestone and associated units that outcrop over some 1000 km of WA’s coastline. \nThe trip\, led by Moyra Wilson\, will also facilitate broader discussions of approaches to palaeosea-level reconstructions\, climate change and the coastal dynamics of WA’s younger geological evolution. \nPlease note that for insurance reasons this trip is only open to members. If you are not currently a member you will need to sign up before booking. \nPrices: \nMembers:                     $100 \nStudents:                       $50 \nTickets close the Thursday prior at 5pm. \nNote: This price is for the instruction only. It does not include ferry fares\, bike hire or lunch. These need to be arranged separately at your own cost. \nGetting there: \nMeeting point: Rottnest Visitor Centre: 8.40 am\, finish by 4 pm in time for a 4.30 pm return.  Recommendation to save time hire your bikes from the ferry company. \nhttps://rottnestexpress.com.au/ \nhttps://www.sealink.com.au/ \nhttps://booking.rottnestfastferries.com.au/
