Geophysical techniques can help characterise and monitor the storage reservoir. Seismic time lapse\, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and gravity measurements are often used to track the CO2 plume. In the few existing in-situ mineral storage sites\, monitoring relies almost only on geochemical methods.Geophysical methods are less established in this context. Seismic time lapse measurements are thought to be less efficient because the CO2 is dissolved in water before it is pumped in\, so the local water is replaced by the CO2-enriched water\, which makes the seismic velocity changes too small to detect.Carbonate precipitation happens slowly and makes very small velocity changes\, mainly because the porosity decreases. ERT involves replacing the existing groundwater with CO2-charged water. This should lead to a decrease in resistivity. However\, resistivity is only expected to increase when carbonates precipitate. Here\, we present the results of testing geophysical methods to measure and check the CO2 storage site in Helguvik\, Iceland\, operated by CARBFIX. This study is part of the Swiss DemoUpCARMA project (https://demoupcarma.ethz.ch/) and uses a variety of scientific methods that have already been successfully tested in other CO2 storage experiments (e.g. Zappone et al.\, 2021). The Helgivik site is a pilot were CARBFIX is testing the efficiency to use sea water for dissolving CO2\, in preparation for an upscaling of the site\, the Coda Terminal that will receive and store 3 million tons of CO2 per year. \nThe pilot storage site lies on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Southwest Iceland\, at about 15 km distance from the seismically and volcanically active rift zone. The CO2 is captured in Switzerland are shipped in isotainers (https://demoupcarma.ethz.ch/) to Helguvik . Here\, after mixing with saline water\, it is injected into the reservoir through a vertical borehole (CBI-01; Fig. 1) with an open section between 250 m and 420 m depth. Two additional vertical wells\, CBM-03 and CBM-01\, with depths of approximately 400 metres\, have been drilled at distances of 30 metres and 100 metres along a northwest-southeast alignment\, respectively\, for the purpose of monitoring reservoir processes. Rock samples obtained from drill cuttings have been utilised in the characterisation of the stratigraphic sequence of the reservoir\, in conjunction with borehole logging data. Furthermore\, drill cores extracted from proximate boreholes have undergone laboratory analysis with respect to porosity network and flow properties\, both prior to and following il laboratory exposure to CO2-rich saline water. Prior to and during the injection operations\, cross-hole seismic measurements were conducted utilising a P-wave borehole sparker source and hydrophone chains. Simultaneously\, single-hole electrical resistivity measurements were performed in all the wells. The background seismicity and the seismicity potentially induced by the injection operations were monitored via a backbone seismic network installed around the injection site\, and by a seismic array of 3D nodal geophones. The data were streamed in real time to ETH Zurich and shared with all the project partners. \nThe multi-disciplinary approach reveals variability of the porosity in the basaltic layers\, already evidenced by laboratory measurements (Stavropoulou et al\, 2024)\, depicting a stratified velocity distribution with depth Single-hole electrical resistivity data corroborate the layering and is in agreement with the mineralogical data from cuttings. The remarkable consistency between ERT and crosshole seismic observations (Junker at al.\, 2025 ) highlights the efficiency of the methods to resolve thin layering structures and giving additional constraints to the borehole logging observations for permeable layers. Characterization with geophysical tools allows the continuity of the underground structures to be observed\, in contrast to point borehole measurements. A permeability model\, based on the crosshole seismic data is found to be in agreement with borehole spinner tests. Modeling on velocity anomalies due to precipitation of Carbonates reveal that that crosshole seismic can detect the precipitation of c.a. 17 kg/m3\, corresponding to c.a. 100 t of injected CO2 at the scale of the pilot project. \nAcknowledgements: This study is part of the DemoUpStorage project that was funded by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE\, project number SI/502429).

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT March Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT March Luncheon\nThe Perth Basin: Seven years of learnings\nAndrew Farley (Strike Energy)\n  \nAbstract:\nExploration in the Perth Basin commenced back in the 1960s\, but it was the discovery of the Kingia gas play by AWE Energy in 2014 that kicked off the latest round of exploration and development. The Waitsia gas discovery inspired Strike Energy to enter the basin in 2018 with success at West Erregulla 2 in 2019 proving that porosity and permeability continues to preserved despite greater depth. To date\, Strike has drilled 13 deep wells and acquired 6 new seismic surveys across the Permian Kingia and Jurassic Cadda/Cattamarra plays. This has led to the discovery of 4 new gas fields\, one of which is now on production\, and two which are being developed. \n  \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 27th March 2025\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 March 2025 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

SUMMARY:PESA WA March 20th Evening Talk: Tight Gas Sand Reservoir Evaluation: Basin-Centred Gas Accumulation (BCGA) & Implications on Production & EUR
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA invites you to a technical Evening Event Thursday 20th March.\nTight Gas Sand Reservoir Evaluation:  Basin-Centred Gas Accumulation (BCGA) & Implications on Production & EUR \nPresented by Greg Salter (Core Laboratories) \nTight gas sand (TGS) reservoirs often offer significant resource potential\, however\, they can pose many challenges including pay identification\, the potential of formation damage\, water and/or condensate block\, as well as others.  Another challenge may be what is the true water saturation?  Is the water saturation controlled by capillary forces or is the reservoir a basin-centred gas accumulation (sub capillary-equilibrium) as published by a number of authors in the literature.  This presentation will investigate the identification and characterization of basin-centred gas accumulation reservoirs and the implication on production and EUR. \n  \nTimings for the event: \nDate: Thursday 20th March\, 2025 \nVenue (Updated): Faraday’s\, 261 St Georges Terrace\, Perth \nTime: 6pm – 8pm (Perth time) \n  \n\nPESA Members:                                $25.00 (PESA Members must Log on to the PESA website to purchase) \nNon-members:                                 $50.00 \nPESA Students Members:              Free (registration is essential)

SUMMARY:PESA QLD: Lunch\, 20 March : What happened to CO2 storage in the Great Artesian Basin?  (Navigating gas water rock reactions and potential groundwater impacts) - Dr Julie Pearce
DESCRIPTION:PESA technical lunches are back for 2025! \nPESA Queensland welcomes Dr Julie Pearce to present a technical luncheon on What happened to CO2 storage in the Great Artesian Basin? (Navigating gas water rock reactions and potential groundwater impacts) \nThe Technical Lunch will be held at the Brisbane Hilton Hotel\, (Room TBC). \nFor detailed directions\, see explanation below. \nPlease note the Early Bird ticket pricing cut-off times described below. \n\n\n\nPresentation:\nWhat happened to CO2 storage in the Great Artesian Basin? (Navigating gas water rock reactions and potential groundwater impacts)\n\n\nVenue:\nHilton Hotel Brisbane\, 190 Elizabeth Street\, Brisbane QLD 4000\nRoom TBC\n(Detailed directions below)\n\n\nDate & Time:\nThursday\, 20 March 12:15 PM\n\n\n\nPresentation Abstract: \nCarbon dioxide geological storage is one option to enable Australia to reach net zero. Several carbon storage demonstration sites are undergoing feasibility studies and environmental impact assessment internationally and in Australia. Very recently CO2 storage in the Surat Basin gained a lot of media and political attention – the QLD government has now put a ban on CCS in the geographical extent of the QLD Great Artesian Basin (and below it). The reservoir that was being assessed is in a deep (~2300 m)\, brackish\, unpotable part of the Precipice Sandstone. However\, the broader formation is an aquifer of the GAB\, therefore stakeholders were sensitive to potential environmental impacts. The previous demonstration site that underwent assessment was further north in the shallower part of the Precipice Sandstone (~1200 m). In that Glenhaven site the West Wandoan 1 well was drilled for the feasibility study\, and the reservoir had fresh groundwater. This presentation details part of the experimental and field sampling components of the underlying research\, including CO2-water-rock geochemical reactions\, metal mobilisation\, and creation of a reactive transport model. \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 Friday\, 7 March 11:30 PM  after which\, standard pricing will come into effect. \nStandard ticket pricing will be available until Monday\, 17 March 12:00 PM – To avoid disappointment please register before this time. \n\n\n\n\nEarly Bird Ticket Price\nStandard Ticket Price\n\n\n\n\nMembers – $55\nNon-Members – $75\nStudent / Retired Members – $30\nMembers – $75\nNon-Members – $95\nStudent / Retired Members – $30\n\n\n\n\nLate ticket sales up to Wednesday\, 19 March 12:00PM will be available at $95 for all tickets – subject to availability.

SUMMARY:2025 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: Mega-Intrusions and Volcanic Ruins: A Tour of Magmatism in the Carnarvon Basin
DESCRIPTION:Kindly supported by Rock Flow dynamics  \n  \nThis live webinar will take place at: \n11am | Perth\n12.30pm | Darwin\n1pm | Brisbane\n1:30pm | Adelaide\n2pm | 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. \nMega-Intrusions and Volcanic Ruins: A Tour of Magmatism in the Carnarvon Basin \nPresented by Michael Curtis (Santos) \nAbstract \n\nThe Northern Carnarvon Basin formed as a result of Late Jurassic rifting\, and Early Cretaceous breakup of Greater India from the Australian continent. Magma was emplaced into the Exmouth Plateau and Exmouth Sub-Basin over an area of ~50\,000 km2. Until recently the spatial distribution of this igneous system\, and hence its potential impact on regional petroleum systems\, was relatively unknown. The only references to the magmatic system were 1990s ‘blob’ maps created using 100+ km spaced 2D seismic\, magnetic and gravity data\, and references of penetrations of igneous rocks in well completion reports from ~8 wells and boreholes. \nNew interpretive work (the essence of my PhD)\, utilising SLB & TGS ultra-broadband 3D seismic data covering much of the Exmouth Plateau and Exmouth Subbasin\, reveals the igneous system in all its glory! In this talk we will tour both its intrusive and extrusive components\, asking why it is the way it is and what its current configuration might have meant for the development of Carnarvon Basin petroleum systems. We will attempt to answer why some intrusions are of record-breaking proportions (170+ km long)\, while others nearby are much much smaller (3 to 5 km diameter). We’ll also look at the eroded ruins of volcanoes (that until recently hadn’t been known to exist at all) and consider the original size of the volcanic complex\, and the implications of volcano erosion on regional reservoir quality.

Once registered with the webinar software you will receive a reminder e-mail 1 hour beforehand. \nUnlocking the Potential of Carbon Capture \nPresented by Huw Mason (EnergyQuest and Osprey Energy) \nAbstract \n\nIn October 2024\, EnergyQuest released its first report on Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) titled “Unlocking the Potential of Carbon Capture”. The report provides an independent\, in-depth review of Australia’s CCUS industry\, outlining its necessity\, key success factors for project execution\, and the status and outlook of CCUS (including CCS) projects in the country. The technical analysis identifies five essential factors for a successful CCUS project\, emphasising its crucial role in achieving the 2050 net-zero greenhouse gas emissions target. However\, at the current rate of development\, carbon capture and storage will fall short of meeting both global and Australian targets on time. Huw Mason will present an overview of the report’s findings and discuss the outlook for Australian projects.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT February Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT February Luncheon\nSeismic interpretation of the Petrel Sub-basin CO2 Storage Opportunity \nJames Komenza\nAbstract: \nAn integrated geologic and geophysical study of the Mesozoic storage resource in the Petrel Sub-basin (Bonaparte Basin). This study includes regional petrophysics\, geomechanics\, rock physics\, seismic reprocessing and inversion in an area of sparse well and seismic data. \nAlthough numerous wells have been drilled in the Petrel Sub-basin\, their focus has been the underlying Palaeozoic petroleum system\, resulting in scant or compromised data quality in the overburden. This often limits data utility for reservoir characterization\, field appraisal and development planning for the primary Mesozoic storage targets. Seismic reprocessing and quantitative interpretation supported by a model-based rock physics workflow have been used to fill in some of the gaps. This new data has been used to interpret depositional trends of both reservoir and seal\, reservoir quality\, heterogeneity and clay content\, seal presence and thickness\, and interval velocity away from well control. Insights from this study further highlight the suitability of G-11-AP for large scale CO2 storage. \n  \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 27ht February 2025\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start\nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nThe luncheon will consist of 3 courses and a 3-hour drinks package \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 24th February 2025 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

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/

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).

SUMMARY:2025 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: The God’s Must be Crazy: Unbelievable Play Defining Discoveries Providing Analogues for Future Success
DESCRIPTION:Kindly supported by Rock Flow dynamics  \n  \nThis live webinar will take place at: \n11am | Perth\n12.30pm | Darwin\n1pm | Brisbane\n1:30pm | Adelaide\n2pm | 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. \nTo coincide with the soon to be launched Ascendience Geoscience global field analogue database Dr Mark Lisk will discuss the power of geological analogues using examples of unusual oil and gas discoveries from around the world: \nThe God’s Must Be Crazy – Unbelievable Play Defining Discoveries Providing Analogues for Future Success \nPresented by Mark Lisk (Ascendience Geoscience) \nAbstract \n\nGeological analogues provide critical information to benchmark predictions across full cycle exploration and development projects. They seed ideas to recognise new plays and prospect opportunities to deliver the next cycle of discoveries. Since 2000 global exploration spend is estimated to have exceeded 2 trillion dollars; geological analogues offer the opportunity to claw back more value from that irretrievable sunk cost. Better still that accrued benefit helps not only the companies that paid the bill\, rather learnings\, both good and bad\, are spread across the industry like creative intellectual fertiliser to feed the next flush of geological insights. \nThe best geoscientist is claimed to be the one who has seen the most rocks\, making a good knowledge of geological analogues an essential element of the armoury of any good geoscientist or engineer. No matter how many years of experience you\, your team or your company have it can never hope to match the experience of the industry as a collective. \nDiscoveries from around the world will be presented to demonstrate the critical role geological analogues play in guiding future success by highlighting three key elements: \n\nIdeas find hydrocarbons\, technology is merely the enabler\nRediscovery plays a major role in finding play-opening discoveries\nGeological success looks blatantly obvious in hindsight\n\nAs famously stated\, “we once thought we were running out of oil\, when in fact we are running out of ideas”. We must commit the time to draw on the power of analogues to maximise success\, reduce uncertainty and deliver better future business outcomes. \nFor a copy of the presentation slides that contains references and attribution for the content please visit the Ascendience Geoscience website here: \nhttps://ascendience-files-open.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/Lisk_PESA_Webinar_Final_FPR180225.pdf

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: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

Once registered with the webinar software you will receive a reminder e-mail 1 hour beforehand. \nForward Modelling for Stratigraphic and Structural Analysis in Complex Mini-Basins\, Offshore Sureste Basin\, Mexico \nPresented by Donald Christie (Fugro) \nAbstract \n\nStructurally active mini-basins characterize continental margins such as deep-water Angola\, Brazil\, North Borneo\, and the Gulf of Mexico\, and the stratal architecture of these mini-basins is dominantly controlled by the interplay of structural growth and sediment supply. We simulate and reproduce the observed stratal geometry using a reduced-complexity\, fast computational model (Onlapse-2D)\, and through a process of iteration the model output is matched to available subsurface control (well logs\, 3D seismic data). \nFocusing on the late Miocene tectonostratigraphic evolution of a complex mini-basin in the offshore Sureste Basin\, Mexico. Two cross-sections were chosen to intersect the existing well\, one parallel to the axis of the minibasin and the other perpendicular to it\, and two Onlapse models were generated from each. A good first-pass match between model output and geological observations was obtained\, which allowed us to identify and separate the effects of two distinct phases of compressional folding and a longer-lasting episode of salt withdrawal/diapirism\, and to determine the timing of these events.\nReduced-complexity simulation is an efficient and effective approach to understand the tectonostratigraphic evolution of complex deep-water minibasins. Onlapse models use real seismic interpretations of real active structures and by matching the forward model to the existing well data\, it can provide insight into the geometry and timing of the controlling structural processes; demonstrate the changing proportion of background vs. sediment-gravity-flow deposits; and aid in the identification of key erosional or constructional surfaces within the stratigraphy.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT Christmas luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT Christmas luncheon\nAnnus Mirabilis\nThe breakthrough year when petroleum geoscience changed forever\nRhodri Johns\n  \nAbstract: \nIn a single remarkable year\, several key papers and books were published that revolutionised the petroleum geosciences. \nSome of these publications introduced groundbreaking ideas\, concepts\, and methodologies that stunned and astonished both academia and the petroleum industry. Others synthesised state of the art in disciplines such as sedimentology and geochemistry\, building on developments from the previous decades\, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle falling into place; these works not only led to a more innovative approach to petroleum exploration but also laid the foundations for systematic basin analysis\, play analysis\, petroleum systems analysis\, and risk analysis – approaches that would emerge as essential tools for the petroleum industry in the 1980/90s and beyond. \nWhat were these pivotal publications\, and who were their authors? How and where did these ideas and breakthroughs originate\, and how were they received by both academia and the industry? \nRhodri Johns will tell this story from a personal perspective\, offering new insights from those closer to the action. \n  \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 12 December 2024\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start\nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nThe luncheon will consist of 3 courses and a 3-hour drinks package \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 9th December 2024 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA WA Christmas Luncheon 2024:
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA invites you to our Christmas Technical Luncheon on Thursday 12th December\nTalk by Ernie Delfos – ‘Colour of Rocks’  \n\n\nHaving spent over 40 years in the great Oil & Gas industry\, you know what part of your career you are in when you are invited to give a talk on it. It seemed an appropriate invitation to accept when in July this year I realised that my passion for geology came a full circle with a trip to the Bungle Bungle Range in the Kimberley region. The magnificent beehive structures and their alternating red and yellow colouring caused the posing of the question why? The same question as a teenager I asked what causes the colour of rocks and who studies this? \n\n\nTransitioning from full time employment to “my time” employment is exciting and highly recommended if affordable and I am excited to share experiences\, lessons learned\, and yarns on all these influences and mentors that shaped my career so far. \nI strongly believe there is plenty of running room in the future demand of hydrocarbons to improve global standards of living\, while we find better ways to cut emissions and seek alternatives. \n\n  \nPESA WA Annual General Meeting\nPESA WA is seeking new committee members to support the running of the society and its active program of technical and social events throughout the year.  A range of positions are available\, with opportunities to shadow existing members to build experience and understanding of the committee. \nNominations for 2025 committee positions are required by the 6th of December\, prior to the AGM at the Annual Christmas Luncheon on the 12th of December. For further information please review role descriptions in the 2025 nomination form (link below) or reach out to the WA President (wa-president@pesa.com.au) or WA Secretary (wa-secretary@pesa.com.au) for further details. \nPESA Committee Nomination Form \n\nHosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science and DUG: \n \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft Inversion and Qeye: \n               \n  \nEach lunch ticket includes networking drinks at Metro Bar afterwards.  No admittance to the drinks if you have not purchased a lunch ticket. \n\nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $79.00 \nStudent Member (Early Bird): $49.00 \nNon-Member: $109.00 \nMember (Non-Early Bird): $89.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST).

SUMMARY:PESA ACT/NSW Christmas Party
DESCRIPTION:PESA NSW & SPE NSW Christmas Party\nPHILIPPINES GEOLOGY AND PETROLEUM POTENTIAL \nThe petroleum potential of the Philippines has long been regarded by “industry experts” as average at best. The Philippines is a country with active crustal plate movements\, subduction zones\, regional wrench faults and active volcanoes located on the western edge of the Circum-Pacific “Ring of Fire”. \nGeologically\, the Philippines is the eastern rifted edge of Asia\, which was initially separated by rifting and the development of the South China Sea commencing in the Eocene. Initial rifting resulted in the deposition of an Eocene clastic section\, dominantly non-marine with extensive coal development. \nThe appearance of oceanic crust in the late Oligocene initiated the drift phase with development of extensive barrier and pinnacle limestone reefs on the upthrown sides of the large normal faults created by rifting. These Oligocene to Early Miocene reefs created the reservoir for many of the large gas fields discovered to date\, eg Malampaya\, which largely sourced the gas from the underlying coal measures. About 10 million years ago the Asian\, Pacific and Australian crustal plates collided creating compression\, subduction\, regional wrench faults and volcanism. This tectonic activity caused regional uplift\, particularly in the west of the Philippines centred on east Palawan and deposition of Early-Mid Miocene sedimentary deposits\, dominated by an extensive deep water marine clastic section with excellent quality sandstone reservoirs. Waxy oils waxy with associated gas are the main hydrocarbon discoveries. These hydrocarbons have been sourced by both marine and non-marine organic matter. \nThe Late Miocene to present day sedimentary section is dominated by a thick section of marine marls and limestone reefs with associated volcanism adjacent areas of plate to subduction. The Tertiary to Recent geology of the Philippines is very similar to that recorded in Indonesia\, Thailand\, Vietnam and parts of offshore China. The Philippines experienced extensive petroleum exploration in the 1960s but concerted exploration efforts since then have been patchy. Whilst trap integrity is considered the main exploration risk\, there is still excellent potential for oil and gas discoveries of significant size. Gas2Grid Limited has been active with onshore petroleum exploration in the Philippines since 2005 and the author since 1981.

Once registered with the webinar software you will receive a reminder e-mail 1 hour beforehand. \nConnecting the Links – Enabling Successful CCS Value Chains \nPresented by Katarina van der Haar and Stephen Stokes (Wood) \nAbstract \n\nHighly industrialized\, densely populated countries like Japan\, Singapore and Korea are actively pursuing CCS and are looking to transport CO2 to international jurisdictions with Australia alone providing considerable storage potential.  Technically\, the entire value chain is possible\, yet challenges that are specific to CO2  need to be overcome. \nWood\, a global engineering consultancy\, has been actively involved in over 50% of the world’s CCS studies. Encompassing concept\, pre-FEED\, FEED execution and operation stages across the entire CCS value chain\, our studies covered capture from traditional oil and gas operators\, power generation\, refineries\, and hard-to-abate industries\, as well as conditioning processes such as dehydration\, liquefaction\, and temporary storage\, and transportation via pipeline or ship to storage sites.  In this presentation\, Stephen Stokes and Katarina Van Der Haar will cover a selection of the latest technological insights and lessons learned from Wood’s involvement in over 200 CCS studies worldwide.  The presentation will cover a range of topics\, including CCS multi-emitter hubs and the use of common pipelines\, the importance of impurities in CO2 streams and alignment of CO2 specifications\, repurposing of existing infrastructure\, and insights from cross-border liquefied CO2 shipping into Australian storage locations.  Through case studies from several state-of-the-art CCS projects from around the world\, Stephen and Katarina will highlight the critical importance of information sharing\, collaboration\, and alignment across the entire value chain for all CCS proponents.

SUMMARY:VIC/TAS PESA-SPE-ASEG joint Christmas Lunch and Talk 2024
DESCRIPTION:PESA VIC/TAS are holding a joint Christmas Lunch together with our friends from SPE and ASEG. We would like to thank our friends from SPE who are have organised this event and are subsidising it by opening it to our PESA memebrs we well as for all ASEG members. \n  \nBefore our lunch there will be a technical talk by SPE distinguished lecturer Juliane Heiland (SLB)\, titled: \nGeomechanics for Field Development and Production Management – experience from two decades of reservoir geomechancis studies\nAbstract: \nModern numerical 3D Geomechanical models can provide detailed subsurface geological understanding to predict failure events impacting reservoir engineering and production management. \nGeomechanical models have become a standard input for drilling engineering and well planning and in many companies geomechanical teams today work closely with drilling teams. The same integrated modeling and engineering approach has not taken hold yet when considering reservoir engineering and production management\, where the use of geomechanics models and close cooperation between geomechanics and engineering teams can still be improved. \nMy presentation shows how modern models provide the geomechanical tools to analyse potential wellbore and reservoir failures that can impact production. I will show the useful characteristics a geomechanics model should have to solve production challenges and influence reservoir management decisions. \nSpeaker’s Bio: \nJuliane Heiland is a Geomechanics Advisor at SLB focussing on rock and soil mechanics applied to a wide range of engineering domains. Her first degree in Engineering Geology from the Technical University Munich gave her a solid geological sciences foundation applied to civil engineering and tunneling. A PhD (from 1994 to 1998) focussed on landslide research in Italy\, Germany and the Czech Republic. Academic post-doc research at the GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam focussed on laboratory solutions through high-pressure rock mechanics experiments applied to problems in tunneling and geothermal well productivity. \nShe joined SLB (formerly Schlumberger) as a research scientist in 2001 and worked six years in geomechanical research towards sanding and perforating. In 2007\, Juliane moved into field consulting services providing geomechanics engineering solutions to SLB clients in Africa and Europe. After a brief move to the operator side of the industry with Maersk Oil\, providing wellbore stability analysis for drilling planning\, she returned to SLB in 2015. As Geomechanics Advisor since 2018 Juliane concentrates on training the next generation of geomechanics engineers at SLB and with operators in the wider industry as well as providing input to consulting studies worldwide. \nThis event is open to members and non-members. \nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Wednesday\, December 4th\, 2024\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: \n• $30 per person \nRSVP and Payment: Kindly RSVP to spevictas@gmail.com and make payment by Monday\, December 2nd\, 2024.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT November Luncheon: Natural Hydrogen Exploration in South Australia: An Update
DESCRIPTION:Natural Hydrogen Exploration in South Australia: \nAn Update\nChris Cubitt \nGeological Survey of South Australia\, Department for Energy and Mining \nhttp://www.energymining.sa.gov.au/ \nchris.cubitt@sa.gov.au \n  \nAbstract: \nSouth Australia took the lead nationally in enabling exploration licences for natural hydrogen on 11 February 2021 when amendments to the?Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Regulations 2013?declared hydrogen\, hydrogen compounds and by-products from hydrogen production ?regulated substances?. Following on from this\, seven companies have lodged over 40 applications for PELs targeting natural hydrogen over the State?s basins and crystalline basement provinces. PEL 687 is the first licence in Australia targeting natural hydrogen and was granted to first movers Gold Hydrogen Pty Ltd in July 2021 over Yorke Peninsula and Kangaroo Island. The second licence (PEL 691) was granted to H2EX in June 2022 over eastern Eyre Peninsula. An update will be given with respect to current exploration activities in both active licences and with reference to the current understanding of natural hydrogen prospectivity across South Australia. \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 28th November 2024\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 November 2024 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

SUMMARY:PESA WA November 21st Evening Talk: Top seal and compartmentalisation in the Kingia Play\, implications for porosity preserving plays.
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA invites you to a technical Evening Event Thursday 21st November.\nTop Seal and Compartmentalisation in the Kingia Play\, implications for porosity preserving Plays. \nPresented by Alex Fuerst (Molyneux Advisors) \nIn the Kingia play of the North Perth Basin\, significant compartmentalisation is observed across the basin and within individual fields\, despite the sand-on-sand juxtaposition. This compartmentalisation manifests in both pressure and phase (gas/water) variations. Cemented fractures are observed near fault zones in Perth Basin wells. This results in decreased permeability near faults\, as evidenced by local wells in the Perth Basin. \nSEM images show fractures within grains of grain coated sands are sufficient to serve as nucleation sites for quartz cementation. In contrast\, within the Irwin River Coal Measures (IRCM)\, the grain surfaces alone provide sufficient sites for cementation. The IRCM sands exhibit permeabilities that are characteristic of seals\, with samples displaying quartz cementation\, kaolin cementation\, or a combination of both. \nThe implications for play risk / play maps are significant. Shallower Kingia penetrations face an unproven top seal due to the less cemented IRCM\, potentially explaining the multiple shallower exploration failures. At greater depths\, the presence of more complex faulting may enhance fault seal integrity and lead to more intricate trap configurations. However\, this also likely increases development complexity due to reservoir compartmentalization. The observed improvement in IRCM sealing capacity with depth suggests broader implications for exploring deeper grain-coated plays\, allowing for a wider range of facies to be considered as potential seals. \n  \nTimings for the event: \nDate: Thursday 21st November\, 2024 \nVenue: The Shoe Bar\, Yaga Square\, Perth \nTime: 6pm – 8pm (Perth time) \n  \n\nPESA Members:                                $25.00 (PESA Members must Log on to the PESA website to purchase) \nNon-members:                                 $50.00 \nPESA Students Members:              Free (registration is essential)

SUMMARY:Sedimentary Evolution of a South Australian Cambrian Rift
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA FieldTrip\nFrom a carbonate ramp to siliciclastic fluvio-deltaics in a tectonically active Delamerian Cambrian rift. Seismic-scale depositional systems in outcrop\n  \n\nSaturday 16th and Sunday 17th November 2024\n\nAn opportunity to investigate the Cambrian evolution of South Australia through spectacular seismic scale coastal exposures in the Fleurieu peninsula.\nThe field trip will be led by Rhodri Johns and Elinor Alexander. The full excursion will be two days but participants will have the option of participating in either or both days. Participants intending\nParticipating in both days is encouraged to overnight at Break Free Wirrina Cove for R & R.\nThe first day will be spent examining the carbonate ramp deposits of the Sellick Hill Formation and the clastic turbidites of the Carrickalinga Head Formation at Myponga and Carrickalinga. Here signs of the early evolution of the Delamerian rift will be viewed. The second day will be spent viewing the spectacular outcrops of the Fishery Beach section on the south coast near Cape Jervis. Here a magnificently exposed prograding clastic sequence\, including Carrickalinga Head turbidites and the shallow marine deltaics of the Backstairs Passage Formation.\n\nItinerary \nSaturday 16th November 2024.\nSelf-drive to meet at the south Myponga Beach car park at 10am (76km from Adelaide). Once we’ve examined shallow marine Sellick Hill Fm exposures\, it’s a short drive to Carrickalinga Head to spend time looking at the overlying deep water turbidite facies. Optional post field trip drinks and food at the Fork Tree Brewery – separate purchase. Overnight at Wirrina Cove (optional to be booked and paid for individually – discounted rate available). \nBreakFree Wirrina Cove – ALL (accor.com) \n  \nSunday 17th November 2024.\nSelf-drive to meet at the Fishery Beach car park at 10am – near Cape Jervis\, 24 km from Wirrina\, 115km from Adelaide. We will then walk along the coastal sections to view to relationship between turbidites and the overlying fluvio-deltaics. We will finish at about 3pm. \nAttendees may wish to partake of a cleansing ale at Kick Back Brewing (Aldinga) on the way back to Adelaide – separate purchase. \n  \nPricing for one or both days:\nPESA Members: $30\nNon-Members: $40\nStudents: $ no-charge\nLimited places available. \nSelf-drive field trip – carpooling encouraged. BYO lunch.\nBook and pay online at www.pesa.com.au\nContact Alex Ross at 0434 569 936 alexross@fastmail.fm for more information. \nBookings close 5 pm Monday 11th November 2024
