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. Strictly no walk-ins.

SUMMARY:PESA WA: June Technical Luncheon: Dr Peter Moore - Australian Geoscience Council (AGC) National Geoscience Champion
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA invites you to our June Technical Luncheon on Thursday 25 June at The Melbourne Hotel:\n“Petroleum Geoscience and the Energy Transition: A Personal Historical Perspective and Predictions for the Future”\nPresented by Dr Peter Moore (Adjunct Professor at Curtin University)\n\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. \n\nTicket Prices: \nEarly Bird Member (Until 5pm Thursday 18 June): $69.00 \nMember (Friday 19 June – Monday 22 June): $79.00 \nStudent Member (Until Monday 22 June): $20.00 \nConcession Member [Retired or Hardship] (Until Monday 22 June): $59.00 \nNon-Member (Until Monday 22 June): $89.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Thursday 18 June at 5pm (AWST). All ticket sales close at 5pm Monday 22 June.  No further tickets will be allocated after this time. \nPlease note that this event will be held on Thursday 25 June at The Melbourne Hotel (33 Milligan Street\, Perth). \nPlease note that this event includes lunch (main meal and dessert)\, soft drinks and juice\, tea and coffee.  There will be a cash bar available. \nHosted with thanks to our Platinum Sponsor: \n \nand Gold Sponsor: \n \nand Silver Sponsors: \n \n \n \nand Bronze Sponsor:

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)
DESCRIPTION:2026 PESA Webinar Series\n  \nKindly supported by Rock Flow dynamics  \n  \nThe next webinar as part of the 2026 PESA Webinar Series will take place on Tuesday 23 June 2026. \nThis live webinar will take place at: \n3pm              –     Perth\n4.30pm       –     Darwin\, Adelaide\n5pm                –    Brisbane\, Canberra\, Hobart\, Melbourne\, Sydney \nUse the calendar link on this page to add this event in to your own calendar at the correct local time for your location. \nTickets are free for members (please log in to see this) and $10 for non members. \nPlease buy your tickets and immediately follow the link in the ticket e-mail (not the calendar invite or this webpage\, which is just generic and not event specific) to set up your registration with the webinar software well in advance of the time of the talk. 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.

SUMMARY:PESA WA: Introduction to Play Mapping - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA regrets to inform you that the two-day course on Wednesday 10 June and Thursday 11 June at the Shoe Bar\, Yagan Square\, Perth\, has had to be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. It is anticipated that this course will be rescheduled for later in the year.\nIntroduction to Play Mapping\nPresented by: Dr Darren Ferdinando (Basin Science)\n\nObjectives\nThis course is designed to introduce geological play mapping for oil and gas exploration. 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 SA/NT May Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT May Luncheon\n“Update on Gold Hydrogen’s drilling on the Yorke Peninsula”\n Peter Bubendorfer\nGold Hydrogen\n  \nAbstract:\nGold Hydrogen was started by its founders in 2021 with applications lodged over historic hydrogen shows on Yorke Peninsula and Kangaroo Island. Applications were also lodged over areas of the Adelaide Geosyncline and Murray Basin as well as blocks on the Gawler Craton south of Whyalla. The company listed on the ASX in early 2023 and following the grant of PEL 687 has been a very active pioneering explorer. After flying airborne gravity and magnetics\, in 2023 the company twinned the original Ramsay Oil Bore hydrogen show with Ramsay 1 and 2\, intersecting up to 96% hydrogen and 37% helium\, some of the highest purities ever seen in underground wells. Post drilling\, a 2D seismic survey was carried out and at the end of 2025 two further wells were drilled which confirmed continuity of reservoir. The company is preparing to flow test its wells later this year. \n  \nEvent Details:\nThursday\, 28th May 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\, 25th May  2026 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

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

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT April Luncheon- Cooper Basin - seismic processing & where it leads ...
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT April Luncheon\nJoint meeting with ASEG SA-NT\nCooper Basin – seismic processing & where it leads …\nPeter Strauss\n  \nAbstract:\nProcessing and interpretation work on the Western Flank of the Cooper Basin indicate that modern land 3D seismic datasets are often not fit-for-purpose when targeting smaller-scale structures. One of the primary objective in this region\, the Namur horizon\, is typically a strong and easily identifiable seismic event. Exploration success therefore depends less on horizon picking and more on accurately positioning wells on genuine structural highs. However\, deeper targets beneath the Namur present greater challenges. In these intervals\, seismic events are often discontinuous and geologically inconsistent\, making both structural interpretation and imaging problematic. \nThis talk highlights two key issues: \nThe structural problem is not new—it was identified in 2D seismic data approximately 30 years ago\, where structural “corrections” were applied. These corrections have not been consistently carried through into modern 3D datasets.\nImaging quality in onshore seismic data is being compromised by the application of processing workflows originally developed for marine 3D seismic. These methods are poorly suited to land data\, where targets are significantly smaller and geological complexity is higher. Avoiding such approaches can yield sharper\, more geologically meaningful seismic images better suited to land exploration. \nEvent Details:\nThursday\, 30th April 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\, 27th April 2026 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

The International Energy Agency has warned that new development of fossil fuels is incompatible with limiting warming to 1.5 Celsius degrees above pre-industrial level\, which was the strongest target that countries signed up to in the 2015 Paris Agreement. \nHowever\, President Donald Trump rejects the evidence for climate change as a “hoax” and has withdrawn the United States from international action on climate change. He is attempting to thwart domestic action and encouraging fossil fuel companies to “drill baby drill”. Should PESA members also pretend that climate change does not exist\, and support President Trump’s goal of American Energy Dominance? Or is there a better option by supporting the development of carbon capture and storage?

SUMMARY:PESA NSW: April 2026 Technical Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Net Zero\nPESA NSW invite you to our technical luncheon. Presented by Max Williamson. The Branch AGM will also be held before the lunch. \nIntroduction\nNet Zero (aka Net Zero Emissions) is a widely used and abused term in today’s environment conscious world. The term has been grabbed by many professions in our developed society to mean many things\, but all about justifying their actions\, pronouncements and member requirements. Industries have been created based on the simple two words. \nQuoting from Wikipedia:\n“The idea of NET ZERO came out f research in the late 2000s into how the atmosphere\, oceans and carbon cycle were reacting to CO2 emissions. This research found that global warming will significantly slow down only if CO2 emissions are reduced to net zero\, although existing greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere will still contribute to continued warming. Net zero was basic to the goals of the Paris Agreement. This stated that the world must “achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gasses in the second half of this century”. The term “net zero” gained popularity after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published its Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius (SR15). This report stated that “Reaching and sustaining net zero global anthropogenic (human caused) CO2 emissions and declining net non-CO2 radiative forcing would halt anthropogenic global warming on multi-decadal time scales (high confidence).”\nTodays realities \nIn Australia alone\, there are copious seminar papers\, technical journals\, comprehensive books etc written by members of various technical\, legal\, accounting\, engineering and environmental bodies including scientists\, professors\, barristers\, lawyers\, chartered accountants and of course journalists. So much is self-promoting care has to be taken to recognise bias and the need to ensure the individuals remain in paid employment or keep their consulting roles. Having said that it is also fair to say there are some seriously well written and technically supported items that deserve attention from members of bodies such as PESA and SPE. \nMeaning it is important to make up your own mind on the correctness and reasonableness of anything out there meant to be influencing or causing changes in society reactions\, laws and investments. \nQuoting from Wikipedia\n“Net Zero claims vary enormously in how credible they are\, but most have low credibility despite the increasing number of commitments and targets. While 61% of global carbon dioxide emissions are covered by some sort of net zero target\, credible targets cover only 7% of emissions. This low credibility reflects a lack of binding regulation. It is also due to the need for continued innovation and investment to make decarbonisation possible.” \nPESA Presentation \nThis PESA presentation about looking at:\n1/ what really is meant by NET ZERO in a legal\, accounting and recording sense for oil and gas operators. More particularly defining both aspects of the costs/debits imposed by emissions on the one hand and the credits such as carbon credits; and\n2/ various positions of the more public participants\, determining any bias factors\, discounting or elevating opinions of relevance.\nWhile it is impossible to ignore politicians and their influencers in this scene\, the intention is to focus away from political rhetoric and focus on realities including real world calculations\, legal obligations and accounting disclosures. \nPESANSWBranch-AGMNotice2026 \nPESA NSW Branch Committee Nomination Form 2026 \nPESA NSW-ACT Branch AGM 2026 -Annual Report for 2025 \nPESA NSW 2025 AGM Minutes
