SUMMARY:PESA WA: Alice Springs Field Trip and Core Viewing
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA ALICE SPRINGS FIELD TRIP\nPESA WA is hosting a field trip to Alice Springs in September 2026.  This is a fantastic opportunity to explore the region\, engage directly with field activities\, and deepen your understanding of the area’s geological context. \nStarting in Alice Springs\, the field trip includes three nights of 4-star accommodation\, with breakfast and lunch provided\, along with transport to and from the field. Expert guidance and commentary will be provided by Peter Haines with contributions from Fiona Burns and Simon Lang. The itinerary covers four days of Amadeus Basin geology\, split evenly between two half days viewing cores and two full days in the field. \nDuring the core workshops\, Fiona Burns (Task Fronterra) will lead participants through the Tent Hill-1 core. This well provides a near-complete section through the Lower to Middle Ordovician stratigraphy\, including the Pacoota Sandstone and overlying units. The Pacoota interval is represented by sub-units P3 to P1\, and recent work suggests deposition in a high-energy\, wave- and storm-dominated shoreface to shelf environment\, with a clear influence from nearby river systems. Simon Lang (GeoSed Consulting) will complement this by guiding the group through cores from the Mereenie Field\, including the P4 sub-unit of the Pacoota Sandstone\, offering a broader view of the full stratigraphic succession. \nIn the field\, Peter Haines (DMPE) will lead the group through the Ellery Creek section\, located approximately 90 km west of Alice Springs. This outcrop provides an exceptional\, near-continuous record of northern Amadeus Basin stratigraphy from the Tonian through to the Devonian. The field component will focus on the Larapinta Group\, comprising the Pacoota Sandstone\, Horn Valley Siltstone\, and Stairway Sandstone\, which represent the primary reservoir and source intervals for key regional accumulations such as the Palm Valley gas field\, Mereenie oil and gas field\, and the Surprise oil field. Participants can expect to see well-exposed sedimentary facies\, trace fossils\, and clear expressions of basin evolution\, with a possible extension into Devonian units depending on access conditions. \nBy combining detailed core analysis with regionally significant outcrop observations\, the trip is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the stratigraphy and to highlight how depositional environments and systems have evolved. \nThere will also be the opportunity to hunt for fossils\, including trilobites\, within the Horn Valley Siltstone. \nFieldtrip Leader: Peter Haines. \nContributors: Fiona Burns\, Simon Lang\, Charlie Verdel. \n \nItinerary: \nDay 1: PM: Core Store (0.5 day): Tent Hill-1 Pacoota and Stairway sandstone cores led by Fiona Burns. \nDay 2: Field Day: Ellery Creek\, Pacoota Sandstone section (shallow marine/deltaic) led by Peter Haines. \nDay 3: Field Day: Ellery Creek section (revisited) and other outcrops (stromatolites\, Dalmatian Rock) by Peter Haines and Charlie Verdel. \nDay 4: AM: Core Store (0.5 day): Mereenie Field core led by Simon Lang \n  \nCost: \n\nAttendance is open only to PESA members\, including interstate and international members.  Non-members must join PESA to attend.\n$1500.00 per person (includes accommodation\, transport to field areas\, breakfast\, lunch and digital field guide).\n\nPlease note that flights are not included in the above\, and places are limited.

This study presents a pedagogical framework that integrates technical\, environmental\, and policy perspectives to support interdisciplinary sustainability education. Focusing on case studies from the United Kingdom and Türkiye\, it explores how different lithium extraction pathways influence water consumption\, water scarcity\, and overall environmental sustainability across contrasting geological and regulatory contexts. \nIn the UK\, lithium extraction is derived from both primary hard rock sources\, such as lepidolite-bearing granites in Cornwall\, and secondary geothermal brines. In Türkiye\, the emphasis is on geothermal lithium production using Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) methods\, including adsorption\, ion exchange\, and membrane technologies. These approaches are compared with conventional evaporation-based techniques\, which involve prolonged processing times and significant water loss. \nUsing water footprint assessment\, the study evaluates total and freshwater use\, brine abstraction\, and associated environmental risks. By integrating insights from literature\, industry\, and policy sources\, the project highlights trade-offs between extraction efficiency and water impacts. The resulting framework supports the development of interdisciplinary skills and aligns sustainability education with emerging industrial and policy needs. \nBuilding on outputs from a Global Engagement Fund project and associated student research\, This work provides an adaptable\, practice‑oriented approach for strengthening sustainability‑focused education. It highlights opportunities for aligning curricula with emerging industrial\, environmental\, and societal needs.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT August Luncheon-
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT August Luncheon\n“Petroleum geoscience and the energy transition: \na personal historical perspective and predictions for the future”\nDr Peter Moore\n\n  \nAbstract:\nThe petroleum industry was technologically advanced by the mid 1900s\, but a number of developments over the last half century stand out in the areas of seismic\, sequence stratigraphy\, assessment technologies\, deepwater plays\, drilling\, offshore developments\, CSG and shale\, which will be discussed\, including from a personal perspective. These developments have served to maintain the competitiveness of the petroleum industry and have satisfied an increasing demand over time. \nHowever\, a key question for the industry is its future role in the evolving energy transition. Analysis is difficult because there are multiple competing narratives and strong vested interests. \nToday we sit at a pivot point\, with a growing divergence of possible energy futures\, depending on how the world balances economic growth\, energy poverty\, geopolitics\, and great power competition against emissions reduction\, fossil fuel elimination and climate change concerns. \nIn the decade since the Paris agreement and despite significant progress\, the 1.5oC goal is lost and fossil fuel’s contribution to energy consumption remains at 80%. \nWhile both sides (fossil fuel supporters and renewable proponents) argue their case\, the next 15 years at least is becoming clearer – a US/China energy and manufacturing divide\, huge growth of renewables but matched by overall energy growth\, the emergence of nuclear\, and the persistence of petroleum\, especially gas. \nDespite trillions of dollars spent on the energy transition\, we have underestimated the difficulty in speedily transitioning the world’s energy and industrial infrastructure\, and have underestimated global growth\, including overall energy consumption. This can be seen by comparing predictions and model outcomes published over the last decade. \nFor today’s petroleum geoscientists\, technology and jobs will continue to evolve while new areas are likely to include advanced geothermal\, CCS\, and potentially natural hydrogen. As fields decline and new developments and discoveries become smaller\, more effort and technology are required from petroleum companies and individuals to deliver the energy the world still demands. \n  \nEvent Details:\nThursday\, 27th Ausgust 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\, 24th August 2026 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA NSW August 2026 Technical Lunch: Gerard Ryan
DESCRIPTION:D3 Energy is a natural gas and helium developer listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 13 May 2024. \nIts cornerstone asset is Exploration Right ER315 in South Africa’s Free State Province\, a major onshore permit covering approximately 811 km²\, and situated immediately east of Renergen Limited’s producing Virginia Gas Project. \nInitial drilling across ER315 has delivered world-class helium concentrations exceeding 5%\, confirming the Company’s geological model and establishing the region as a globally significant helium province. \nThis exploration success has since been reinforced by substantial regulatory and technical progress. The Company has completed a maiden reserve certification over part of ER315\, defining 1P reserves of 7.21 BCF and supporting its Production Right Application\, which has now been formally accepted by South Africa’s Petroleum Agency (PASA). \nIn addition to ER315\, D3 holds multiple permits in South Africa\, including ER386\, TCP 273\, ER391\, ER392 and ER393 bringing its total landholding in the region to just under 2000 km². These assets are defined by their low-cost nature and high prospectivity\, making exploration and development economically competitive. \nIn June 2025\, D3 Energy expanded into Australia\, securing PEL 121 and PEL 122 in the Arckaringa Basin\, South Australia. These permits\, covering ~5\,865 km²\, mark a strategic entry into a frontier basin with growing interest in helium and clean hydrogen exploration. Since acquisition\, the Company has also commenced farm-out discussions for the Hydrohelix prospect to support future drilling activity. \nD3 Energy now operates in two geographies\, South Africa and Australia\, with a dual-hemisphere portfolio targeting critical energy and industrial gases. \nIn South Africa\, the Company’s work is vital in a region facing severe energy shortages. Its focus on identifying and developing natural gas reserves supports the country’s transition toward a more reliable and sustainable energy future.

SUMMARY:PESA QLD: July Technical Evening - Constrained by Geology: Reducing Sub-Seismic Uncertainty with Depositional Analogues and Synthetic Data
DESCRIPTION:PESA QLD July Technical Evening\nConstrained by Geology: Reducing Sub-Seismic Uncertainty with Depositional Analogues and Synthetic Data\nPresented by: Dr. Boyan Vakarelov (Founder\, SEDBASE) \nAbstract:\nMany critical subsurface decisions depend on predicting fluid flow through stratigraphic architectures that occur below typical seismic resolution or in areas with sparse well control. This sub-seismic uncertainty can be meaningfully reduced through following a geology-first approach\, where depositional variability is constrained by process understanding and calibrated against natural analogues. Such an approach should embrace multiple geologically valid solutions and focus on the architectural scale most relevant to the decision at hand.\n\n\nThis presentation draws on insights from an extensive depositional analogue database compiled over the past two decades\, highlighting how process regime and system type control the architecture of shallow marine and fluvial successions. We will then demonstrate how forward stratigraphic and object-based modeling workflows can generate geologically realistic scenarios in data-limited settings. These models not only improve uncertainty quantification and ultimately flow prediction\, but also provide physics-informed synthetic datasets for training AI neural network models.\nEvent Details:\nDate: Thursday\, July 30th 2026 \nTime: 5 pm for a 6 pm start \nPlace: Transcontinental Hotel\, Brisbane \nStandard tickets close 5 pm Monday\, July 27th 2026. \nThose attending the July Core Workshop are welcomed to attend this technical evening with a reduced ticket price.

These contour currents were (and are) usually counter-directional to surface ocean currents and longshore drift patterns that so strongly affect the distribution and movement of sand on the modern and geological pene-contemporaneous shelf areas. The latter longshore vector of sediment transport has thought to be the principal agent for sediment reworking\, sorting by mechanical segregation and movement towards the heads of deep-water systems in both areas\, with the wider shelfal areas contributing more to the reservoir-grade material going through the ‘spin cycle’ that ultimately controls primary fabric when it is resedimented through channels onto the slope and into deeper water. In the northern Gulf of Guinea\, the sediment transport is and was to the east\, whereas offshore Guyana and Suriname it was primarily to the west. \nContour currents\, however\, move in the opposite direction in slope and proximal basin floor settings. These currents impact on the down-slope moving turbidity currents by dislocating the fine suspended load from the flows and depositing them as sediment drifts or enlarged levees or sediment wave fields (or a combination of both) on the western sides of deep-water systems in the northern Gulf of Guinea\, and the eastern parts of deep-water systems on the Guyana-Suriname margin. The impact is profound. Slope channel complexes that are the principal feeder systems to lobe systems outboard on both margins have highly asymmetrical constructional levees in the contour current direction\, and subdued levees in the opposite direction. This impacts on slope channel complex behaviour by showing a steady westward or eastward stacking of the complexes (only one is active at any one time)\, in the direction of the subdued levee. Channel stacking patterns also reflect this asymmetry\, with systematic high-angle lateral offset stack of reservoir channel elements towards the subdued levee. The second impact of the contour current generated asymmetric levee/flanking sediment drift fields is to increase local slope gradients at and near the levee crests\, and this generates lateral channel complex margin collapse into the channel beltways (the highest gradient in the area\, higher than the background slope gradient). It also promotes largescale MTD wasting of the outer levee flanks\, and all slope channel complexes have associated MTDs on the same levee flanks (eastern on the Guyana-Suriname channel complexes for example). \nThe third impact of this channel complex asymmetry because of progressive stacking of channel elements within the beltway\, and progressive stacking of the entire channel complexes in the same direction\, is a mirrored progressive stacking of the outboard lobe complexes\, both on intra slope terraces and on the basin floor. The overall behaviour is completely contour to notions of accommodation space controlling systematic stacking of deep-water channels and lobe complexes. \nExploration\, development and production from a range of prospects and operating fields along both conjugate margins has yielded a fascinating repository of these types of behaviour from mixed turbidite-contourite settings that extend the observations seen on lobe shifting in the Rovuma Basin offshore Mozambique\, and indeed outboard towards the Comoros. Designing line-developed injector-producer wells has necessitated very high angle well design predicated by the channel or lobe element stacking direction to maximise the sand face along hole\, and this has been entirely as a result of the mixed turbidite-contourite influenced behaviour of the slope channel complexes and both intraslope and basin floor lobe complexes. The subsea infrastructure architecture: location of manifolds and the like\, again controlled by the original geology\, needs early alignment to capture the program and reduce cost of facility design and well trajectory complexity.

SUMMARY:PESA WA: July Technical Evening Presentation: Boyan Vakarelov
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA invites you to our July Technical Evening Presentation on Thursday 16 July at Faraday’s:\n“Constrained by Geology: Reducing Sub-Seismic Uncertainty with Depositional Analogues and Synthetic Data”\nPresented by Boyan Vakarelov (Founder SEDBASE)\n\nMany critical subsurface decisions depend on predicting fluid flow through stratigraphic architectures that occur below typical seismic resolution\, or in areas with sparse well control. This sub-seismic uncertainty can be meaningfully reduced through following a geology-first approach\, where depositional variability is constrained by process understanding and calibrated against natural analogues. Such an approach should embrace multiple geologically valid solutions and focus on the architectural scale most relevant to the decision at hand. \nThis presentation draws on insights from an extensive depositional analogue database compiled over the past two decades\, highlighting how process regime and system type control the architecture of shallow marine and fluvial successions. We will then demonstrate how forward stratigraphic and object-based modeling workflows can generate geologically realistic scenarios in data-limited settings. These models not only improve uncertainty quantification and ultimately flow prediction but also provide physics-informed synthetic datasets for training AI neural network models. \n\nTicket Prices: \nMember: $30.00 \nStudent Member: $10.00 \nConcession Member [Retired or Hardship]: $20.00 \nNon-Member: $40.00 \nWorkshop Attendee: Complimentary \nAll ticket sales close at 5pm Tuesday 14 July.  No further tickets will be allocated after this time. \nPlease note that this event will be held on Thursday 16 July at Faraday’s (216 St Georges Terrace\, Perth). \nHosted with thanks to our Platinum Sponsor: \n \nand Gold Sponsor: \n \nand Silver Sponsors: \n \n \n \nand Bronze Sponsor:

SUMMARY:PESA NSW July 2026 Technical Lunch: Dr Peter Moore
DESCRIPTION:Petroleum Geoscience and the Energy Transition: A Personal Historical Perspective and Predictions for the Future \nAn historical perspective on important advances that Dr Peter Moore has been witness to\, and continuation of the story into the future around the emergence of non-fossil-fuel energy sources and the likely ongoing roles of geoscientists. \nThe petroleum industry was technologically advanced by the mid 1900s\, but a number of developments over the last half century stand out in the areas of seismic\, sequence stratigraphy\, assessment technologies\, deepwater plays\, drilling\, offshore developments\, CSG and shale\, which will be discussed\, including from a personal perspective. These developments have served to maintain the competitiveness of the petroleum industry and have satisfied an increasing demand over time. \nHowever\, a key question for the industry is its future role in the evolving energy transition. Analysis is difficult because there are multiple competing narratives and strong vested interests. \nToday we sit at a pivot point\, with a growing divergence of possible energy futures\, depending on how the world balances economic growth\, energy poverty\, geopolitics\, and great power competition against emissions reduction\, fossil fuel elimination and climate change concerns. \nIn the decade since the Paris agreement and despite significant progress\, the 1.5oC goal is lost and fossil fuel’s contribution to energy consumption remains at 80%. \nWhile both sides (fossil fuel supporters and renewable proponents) argue their case\, the next 15 years at least is becoming clearer – a US/China energy and manufacturing divide\, huge growth of renewables but matched by overall energy growth\, the emergence of nuclear\, and the persistence of petroleum\, especially gas. \nDespite trillions of dollars spent on the energy transition\, we have underestimated the difficulty in speedily transitioning the world’s energy and industrial infrastructure\, and have underestimated global growth\, including overall energy consumption. This can be seen by comparing predictions and model outcomes published over the last decade. \nFor today’s petroleum geoscientists\, technology and jobs will continue to evolve while new areas are likely to include advanced geothermal\, CCS\, and potentially natural hydrogen. As fields decline and new developments and discoveries become smaller\, more effort and technology is required from petroleum companies and individuals to deliver the energy the world still demands.

SUMMARY:PESA WA: Core Values Session #2
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA is excited to invite you to our second Core Values Session for 2026 on Friday 26 June at the Perth Core Library:\nHarvey Field Cores\nPresented by Cedric Griffiths (StrataMod Pty Ltd)\n\nThe cores will be used to re-examine the assumptions behind the CSIRO 2011/12 Sedsim forward stratigraphic model of Permian/Early Triassic sediment depositional environment which was run prior to obtaining the Harvey-1 well results. \nPrior to the drilling of Harvey-1 Schlumberger had developed a depositional concept model that assumed most of the sediment being transported westwards from the Darling Scarp in the form of alluvial fans. \nThe Sedsim model had most of the sediment being provided by a large river system from the south\, sourced from Antarctic mountain sources prior to break-up\, with minor input from the eastern fault block after “Tectonic and Stratigraphic History of the Perth Basin\, Norvick\, M.S. GA 2004”. \nChanges in palynology\, sedimentation style\, ichnofabric data\, and trace-fossils in wells from south to north and east to west will be discussed and at the session the interactive Sedsim forward model results that exhibit the proposed deposition system will be run. \n\n\nTicket Prices: \nMembers: $10.00 \nNon-Members: $20.00 \nPlease note that this event will be held on Friday 26 June 2026 at The Perth Core Library (37 Harris Street\, Carlisle). Participants are welcome to bring their own lunch. \nParticipants are invited to the Balmoral Hotel (901 Albany Highway\, Victoria Park) afterwards to continue discussions. Nibbles will be provided\, and drinks will be available at the bar at your own cost.

SUMMARY:PESA QLD: Structural Controls on Aquifer Connectivity in the Great Artesian Basin\, Narrabri
DESCRIPTION:PESA QLD June Luncheon\n\nGeological structures and aquifer connectivity in the Great Artesian Basin and underlying Permian-Triassic basins: insights from airborne electromagnetic surveys\, hydrochemistry and environmental tracers at Narrabri\, NSW\nPresented by: Dr Matthias Raiber\n(Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO)\n  \nAbstract: \nIn the Narrabri region\, understanding connectivity between coal seam gas (CSG) reservoirs and overlying aquifers is important for assessing potential groundwater impacts and addressing community concerns\, given that the Gunnedah Basin\, which hosts the coal seams\, underlies key Great Artesian Basin (GAB) units such as the Pilliga Sandstone. \nThis study applies an integrated workflow combining airborne electromagnetics (SkyTEM)\, seismic interpretation\, K/Ar dating of igneous intrusions\, and hydrochemical and environmental tracer datasets (including noble gases and groundwater age tracers). The SkyTEM survey (~2\,765 line km; >60 flight lines) provides high-resolution constraints on subsurface architecture\, enabling mapping of faults\, intrusions\, and key stratigraphic boundaries to ~400 m depth. \nAEM results and K/Ar ages of intrusive activity were integrated with seismic and geological data to develop conceptual hydrogeological models identifying potential connectivity pathways. Hydrochemical and tracer data were then used to test for evidence of hydraulic connection across formations and basins\, allowing structural interpretations to be evaluated against groundwater signatures. \nResults indicate that geological structures are widespread\, but their hydraulic significance and therefore their potential influence on connectivity varies across the study area. \nThe presentation focuses on the Narrabri Gas Project area while also addressing broader GAB connectivity questions. The integrated workflow provides a transferable framework for reducing uncertainty in subsurface fluid flow\, with relevance to hydrocarbon studies\, hydrogen storage\, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)\, and related applications. \n  \nEvent Details:\nDate: Thursday\, June 25th 2026 \nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Stamford Plaza Brisbane \nBookings close 5 pm Tuesday\, June 23rd 2026 unless sold out prior. \n

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT June Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT June Luncheon\n“Understanding exploration success and failure in the Cooper and Eromanga Basins\, South Australia”\nSharon Tiainen \nDEM\n  \nAbstract:\nLooking back at open-file well and production data provides an historical account of exploration success and failure in the Cooper and Eromanga Basins in South Australia. While the largest gas fields in the Cooper Basin were found early\, this pattern does not hold for oil in the Eromanga Basin. The Western Flank oil discoveries followed the entry of new operators and new licences. Despite the basins’ maturity\, some areas remain underexplored\, for example\, the Nappamerri Trough has no dedicated oil wells despite being similar in size to the Western Flank. The look back highlights the value of ongoing acreage releases\, which promote data refresh\, competition\, and the discovery of overlooked oil and gas potential. \n  \nEvent Details:\nThursday\, 25th June 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\, 22nd June  2026 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:2026 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: Predicting the Distribution and Connectivity of Fluvial Deposits in the Subsurface Using Scaling Relationships From Present Day River Systems (Adrian Hartley)

Once registered with the webinar software you will receive a reminder e-mail 1 hour beforehand. \nPredicting the Distribution and Connectivity of Fluvial Deposits in the Subsurface Using Scaling Relationships From Present Day River Systems\nPresented by Adrian Hartley (University of Aberdeen) \nAbstract: \n\nPresent day fluvial systems display well established scaling relationships between channel width to depth\, channel belt width to depth and point bar width to channel depth. These relationships are important as they provide a potential mechanism for predicting channel body dimensions from one-dimensional subsurface datasets such as wireline logs or core. Scaling relationships can also aid in reducing uncertainty associated with estimating fluvial channel body width in the rock record\, which\, for a given thickness can vary by between 2 and 5 orders of magnitude.\nLinking present day channel and channel belt dimensions to preserved channel belt sandstone bodies is difficult\, as preserved channel belt stacking patterns are not easily observed in modern day basins. Stacking patterns are related to spatial location in basins and the type of fluvial depositional systems (distributive\, axial or valley). I will show how dimensional data can vary depending on the type of different fluvial depositional systems. Whilst dimensional data from modern day channels and channel belts are not directly transferable to the preserved rock record\, this approach does provide generic relationships that could potentially form the basis for more accurately predicting sandstone body dimensions for subsurface fluid extraction and/or storage.

It is aimed at geoscientists who are interested in applying the concepts of hydrocarbon play mapping to identify areas of high and low prospectivity in terms of the key play elements –\nreservoir\, seal\, trap and charge and using these to identify hydrocarbon potential across scales from permit to basin-wide assessments for quick-screening of new ventures opportunities through to detailed play assessments of core areas. Over two days participants will be shown: \n\nMethodologies for breaking a stratigraphic succession into a series of meaningful and manageable plays with emphasis on using sequence stratigraphic concepts\nWhat comprises the key play elements in a play and how to characterise them\nPost-Drill Assessment of petroleum wells for play mapping\nMapping out Gross Depositional Environments across a play\nVarious styles of play mapping from simple ‘Traffic Light’ mapping through to detailed split risk maps and the scenarios in which they are used\nIntegration of play maps with Prospects and Leads and how to apply various risking schemes (e.g. 4-factor risking\, 5-factor risking etc) to the play mapping\nBasin-wide assessment of multiple plays\nDiscussion of examples of play mapping across several onshore and offshore Australian Basins and the benefits and pitfalls of a variety of play mapping methodologies\n\nContent\nThe process of play mapping incorporates assimilating data from petroleum wells\, seismic data\, sequence stratigraphy\, remoting sensing (magnetic and gravity) data and other sources and combining this data into a spatially meaningful and consistent set of maps that highlight areas of high\, medium and low prospectivity as an aid for exploration. Play mapping can be used in a range of ways from screening large areas for new ventures or gazettal assessments\, determination of areas with lower potential to relinquish in a permit renewal\, or even to identify frontier areas with the high potential to acquire new data across. Participants will work through the core concepts in play mapping through presentations and a series of interactive activities and hands-on exercises in play mapping using data from Australian basins to create play and gross depositional environment maps. \n\nTicket Prices: \nMembers: $750.00 \nNon-Members: $1000 \nStudents: $200.00 (NB – one place only available) \nPlease note that this event will be held on Wednesday and Thursday 10 & 11 June 2026 at The Shoe Bar (Yagan Square\, Perth). \n

SUMMARY:PESA NSW: June 2026 Technical Lunch
DESCRIPTION:New opportunities for gas exploration in NSW – acreage available first time in a decade \nOn 29 April 2026 the NSW Minister for Natural Resources announced the release of new areas for exploration in the North West of NSW near the South Australian and Queensland borders. They are inviting companies to apply for the grant of exploration tenements over two specific areas (the Bancannia and Pondie Range Troughs) that have previously been identified as prospective for oil and gas. \nFull details of the contents of the Minister’s Press Release are available on the NSW Ministerial media releases website and published on 29 April 2026. One of the key conditions for applicants will be the areas involved will be subject to requirements any gas produced from the areas covered by these newly released EL’s will be reserved for domestic consumption. \nThis is an exciting development and shows the NSW Government are aware of and are taking positive steps to relieve the coming gas shortage in NSW. Recent television interviews have also shown the Minister willingly talking over the Santos Narrabri Project and its progress through the Regulatory Regime\, so discussions at our June 9 meeting are likely to expand beyond the newly released areas for exploration.

SUMMARY:PESA VIC/TAS: National Geoscience Champion Lecture Tour - Peter Moore
DESCRIPTION:PESA VIC/TAS invites you to our technical luncheon on Tuesday 2nd June at Henry and the Fox\, Melbourne\n“Petroleum geoscience and the energy transition: a personal historical perspective and predictions for the future“\nPresented by Peter Moore (AGC/PESA National Geoscience Champion Lecture Tour 2026)\nThe petroleum industry was technologically advanced by the mid 1900s\, but a number of developments over the last half century stand out in the areas of seismic\, sequence stratigraphy\, assessment technologies\, deepwater plays\, drilling\, offshore developments\, CSG and shale\, which will be discussed\, including from a personal perspective. These developments have served to maintain the competitiveness of the petroleum industry and have satisfied an increasing demand over time. \nHowever\, a key question for the industry is its future role in the evolving energy transition. Analysis is difficult because there are multiple competing narratives and strong vested interests: \nToday we sit at a pivot point\, with a growing divergence of possible energy futures\, depending on how the world balances economic growth\, energy poverty\, geopolitics\, and great power competition against emissions reduction\, fossil fuel elimination and climate change concerns. \nIn the decade since the Paris agreement and despite significant progress\, the 1.5oC goal is lost and fossil fuel’s contribution to energy consumption remains at 80%. \nWhile both sides (fossil fuel supporters and renewable proponents) argue their case\, the next 15 years at least is becoming clearer – a US/China energy and manufacturing divide\, huge growth of renewables but matched by overall energy growth\, the emergence of nuclear\, and the persistence of petroleum\, especially gas. \nDespite trillions of dollars spent on the energy transition\, we have underestimated the difficulty in speedily transitioning the world’s energy and industrial infrastructure\, and have underestimated global growth\, including overall energy consumption. This can be seen by comparing predictions and model outcomes published over the last decade. \nFor today’s petroleum geoscientists\, technology and jobs will continue to evolve while new areas are likely to include advanced geothermal\, CCS\, and potentially natural hydrogen. As fields decline and new developments and discoveries become smaller\, more effort and technology are required from petroleum companies and individuals to deliver the energy the world still demands. \nPeter will also add updated comments related to the Straits of Hormuz and the US/Iran conflict. \n \nImage credit – Jenny Yerimey \nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Tuesday\, June 2nd\, 2026\nTime: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM\nVenue: Henry and the Fox\, 525 Little Collins St\, Melbourne VIC 3000\n\nAgenda: \n\nNetworking and social drink (12-12:30pm)\nLunch (12:30 – 1pm)\nTechnical presentation (1-1:40pm)\nQuestions/Discussion (1:40-2pm)\n\nRefreshments: \n\nLunch and drinks will be provided at the venue.\n\nFee: (Apologies for the increase\, but Henry and the Fox have raised their rates) \n\n$70 per person (Members of PESA\, ASEG\, and SPE)\n$90 non-members\n$30 Students
