SUMMARY:PESA WA: Stretching or Flexing - A Review of the Triassic from the Northern Carnarvon and Roebuck Basins
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum Sponsor: \n \nand Gold Sponsor: \n \nand Silver Sponsors: \n \n \n \nand Bronze Sponsor: \n \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical evening event on Tuesday 17 March at the Shoe Bar:\nStretching or Flexing – A Review of the Triassic from the Northern Carnarvon and Roebuck Basins\nPresented by Alex Maftei (Curtin University)\nIn this technical session\, Alex Maftei will present the results of his giant interpretation effort\, which includes Triassic formation tops for 442 wells within a sequence stratigraphic framework\, at least four key Triassic horizons\, and more than 2300 faults interpreted in an extremely large seismic dataset. This study also incorporates basin-wide structural and isochron maps of the main Triassic sequences\, depth conversion\, and a velocity model that resulted in isopach maps\, establishing the enormous thickness of the Triassic (up to 16 km). Forty wells were backstripped\, and the total and tectonic subsidence were determined. The backstripped thickness at the beginning of the Jurassic was used to evaluate the flexural component of the subsidence (46–73% of the total subsidence). The elastic lithosphere thickness that best fits the data is between 20 and 30 km. The presentation will include notes on the wider development of Triassic volcanism\, stratigraphic observations on the Triassic from the western Exmouth Plateau\, such as a prograding deltaic system and incised valleys at the Ladinian-Carnian boundary\, multi-erosional surfaces\, and canyons in the Norian\, and the earlier development of reefs in the Late Norian. \nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird until 5pm Tuesday 10 March): $40.00 \nMember: $50.00 \nStudent Member: $20.00 \nNon-Member: $60.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Tuesday 10 March (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST). All ticket sales close at 5pm Friday 13 March.  No further tickets will be allocated after this time. \nPlease note that this event will be held on Tuesday 17 March at the Shoe Bar (Shop GSO7 Yagan Square\, 376 – 420 Wellington St\, Perth WA 6050).

SUMMARY:Joint PESA - SPE WA Evening Event: 14 May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Joint PESA and SPE Evening Event\nThursday 14 May 2026 (5pm-8pm)\n\n\nThe Bonaparte CCS Project – Mathieu Muller & Paul Froydenlund (INPEX)\nAs part of its Vision 2035\, INPEX is progressing carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiatives to support lower-carbon energy solutions. This presentation will provide an overview of INPEX’s global CCS strategy. It will also highlight the company’s efforts to decarbonise its upstream operations\, including proposed development of the Bonaparte CCS Project – an initiative aimed at providing safe\, permanent offshore CO₂ storage to support emissions reduction. \nThe Integration of Core and FMI Borehole Image Data in Understanding Reservoir Heterogeneity for CCS Studies: West Peron-1 and West Peron-2\, Bonaparte Basin – Fiona Burns (Task Fronterra)\nCore and FMI borehole image data from wells West Peron-1 and West Peron -2 provide a remarkable dataset for gaining insights into reservoir architecture and heterogeneity in the Jurassic to Cretaceous successions of the Bonaparte Basin. Such information is critical in the assessment of suitable sites for the long-term storage of CO2 in the Bonaparte Basin in terms of injectivity potential and movement of the CO2 plume (porosity\, permeability\, lateral and vertical heterogeneity). \nThis talk will focus on the Elang and Frigate formations\, which comprise exceptionally thick successions of deltaic and shallow marine sediments with highly complex depositional histories. The high-resolution FMI data\, calibrated with core\, provides precise information on lithofacies\, depositional environments and sediment-dispersal trends. The FMI data also assists in the interpretation of bedform architecture and channel-fill style. Integrated core and FMI data aids evaluation of the key controls on deposition i.e. river-\, wave & and storm\, – and tidal influences. This talk will summarise the evolution of both the Elang and Frigate formations\, highlighting the dominant controls on deposition of these formations. This approach also provides an invaluable framework in which small-scale features that can cause baffles/barriers to fluid flow can be assessed e.g. tidal clay drapes\, fluid-mud deposits\, types and degrees of bioturbation\, the presence of cemented layers and concretions. \n\nGeomechanical Modelling of Hydrogen Storage at the CO2CRC Otway International Test Centre – Ratih Puspitasari (SLB) with an introduction by Dr Eric Tenthorey (Geoscience Australia)\nAustralia’s emerging hydrogen economy depends on the ability to safely store large quantities of hydrogen underground. As part of the national Exploring for the Future program\, this study assesses the suitability of depleted gas fields for hydrogen storage\, using the CO2CRC Otway International Test Centre as a representative site. \nWith natural gas and CO₂ storage far more extensively characterised\, these systems provide essential reference points for understanding subsurface hydrogen storage behaviour. However\, hydrogen’s distinct density\, viscosity\, compressibility\, and thermal properties mean that established injection and storage practices from these gases cannot be assumed to apply directly. To investigate these differences\, this study presents the first like‑for‑like comparison of hydrogen\, methane\, and carbon dioxide behaviour under identical reservoir conditions. A fully coupled reservoir–geomechanics–thermal model was developed for this purpose\, incorporating high‑resolution wellbore grids to quantify pressure\, temperature\, and stress evolution. \nResults show that hydrogen injection generates significantly lower thermal perturbations than methane or CO₂\, reducing the likelihood of thermally induced fault reactivation and wellbore fracturing. Simulations also demonstrate that moderated injection rates further minimise thermal and pressure impacts\, providing additional operational safeguards. The study underscores the importance of integrating flow modelling with geomechanical risk assessment and highlights how dynamic injection control strategies can enhance the safety and efficiency of future hydrogen storage projects. \n\n  \n\nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $65.00 \nMember (Non-Early Bird): $75.00 \nCCUSNA Members (Early Bird): $65.00 \nCCUSNA Members (Non-Early Bird): $75.00 \nNon-Member: $90.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Wednesday 6 May at 5pm (AWST). All ticket sales close at 11am Monday 11 May.  No further tickets will be allocated after this time.   \nPlease note that this event will be held on Thursday 14 May at Parmelia Hilton (14 Mill Street\, Perth) and will include food and drinks. \nHosted with thanks to our Platinum Sponsor: \n \nand Gold Sponsor: \n \nand Silver Sponsors: \n \n \n \nand Bronze Sponsor: \n \n\n
