Despite this\, global inflationary pressures continued to fall during the year\, although they remained higher than pre-pandemic levels. In Australia\, activism around climate change issues continued to impact project developments and sentiment in the industry remained somewhat subdued. The PESA 2024 Development and Production Review looks back at the oil and gas development and production activities in Australia in 2024 and tries to provide some sense of what happened\, and what that means for the industry looking forward. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) production in Australia recorded (unexpectedly) a new record high\, although several projects are now facing declining production. Santos won a significant court case in January 2024 on the Barossa project\, enabling it to resume construction activity on the main export pipeline to Darwin\, which had been suspended for approximately 2 months. The east coast domestic market continued to have major concerns about gas supply and one of the three gas plants at Longford was shutdown reducing supply and processing capacity significantly. Gas supply remains a critical issue in the Northern Territory.

Since the 1980’s these outcrops have been central to the development of sequence stratigraphic and provide unparalleled insight into large scale geometries and architectures in shallow marine and coastal plain reservoirs such as the Brent Group\, the Niger Delta and the Jurassic clastic deposits of the Caernarvon Basin. \nRecent advances in digital outcrop acquisition techniques\, including the use of drones to acquire photogrammetric 3D models has revolutionised reservoir analogue studies. In this presentation a dataset which includes over 100 km of virtual outcrop data will be used to provide a fully integrated Virtual Fieldtrip and highlight the use of this technology to provide quantitative analogue data\, illustrate correlation strategies\, provide input for reservoir models and illustrate links between modern and ancient systems. We will also discuss recent analysis of the perception of virtual field trips and demonstrate their pros and cons with respect to different audiences.

(Navigating gas water rock reactions and potential groundwater impacts)\nPresented by Dr Julie Pearce (University of Queensland) \nAbstract \n\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

SUMMARY:2025 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: Where Comes the Gas From\, Where Does it Go? Southern Denison Trough CO2 Storage Possibilities from a Geological Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Kindly supported by Rock Flow dynamics  \n  \nThis live webinar will take place at: \n11am              – Perth\n12.30pm       – Darwin\, Adelaide\n1pm                – 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.

These gas fields are naturally high in CO2 and may present a good opportunity from a geological perspective for CO2 storage. In support of this an updated interpretation of the depositional environment at Merivale\, Westgrove\, Yellowbank and Punchbowl Gully has been developed to examine changes in depositional environment along the Aldebaran Sandstone paleocoastline. Comparison of the production history of Merivale to the variability in the depositional environment shows that there is strong contribution from the depositional environment to production behaviour. \nSandstones and coal seams in the upper Reids Dome beds may present a secondary target to depleted gas field storage in the southern Denison Trough. Gas distribution in the Reids Dome beds coals shows that the Hutton-Wallumbillla Fault may be a migration pathway for magmatic CO2 into the unit. High CO2 concentrations and saturations within these coals demonstrate a natural analogue for storage within this system. The stratigraphic placement of these coal seams has been improved through the use of stable carbon isotope analysis.

SUMMARY:2025 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: Cretaceous – Paleogene Evolution of Bottom Currents in the Northern Carnarvon Basin\, Northwest Shelf of Australia
DESCRIPTION:Kindly supported by Rock Flow dynamics  \n  \nThis live webinar will take place at: \n11am              – Perth\n12.30pm       – Darwin\, Adelaide\n1pm                – 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.

In this study\, we provide a detailed characterisation of Aptian to Rupelian deposits that developed in the centre of the Exmouth Plateau of the Northern Carnarvon Basin\, Northwest Shelf of Australia\, on c. 500 km wide ramp-type margin\, characterised by gentle slope breaks between the coastline and the deep basin. Sediment mounds and moats initially developed during the Aptian to Turonian in clastic sediments in the southwest of the study area\, whereas reduced sediment accumulation characterised the north-eastern sector. During the Turonian to Lutetian\, a transition to carbonate sedimentation occurred. Interestingly\, these features continued to develop\, with the mounds gradually establishing themselves through aggradational growth\, while the moats were infilled by sediments exhibiting complex structures\, including small-scale mounds and incisions with a wide variety of different morphologies. From the Danian to Rupelian\, there was a notable decrease in moat infilling and mound growth\, leading to significant progradation of sediment toward the northeast. This final stage of sedimentation was characterised by stacked deep incisions\, ridges\, and conical depressions. Initial stages of deposition correspond to a period of time when a wide and open ocean was present to the north of Australia\, but only narrow seaways and intracontinental rifts\, associated with the breakup of Gondwana\, were present to the west and south. The accelerated growth of mounds occurred during a period of accelerated separation of Greater Indian and Australia while cessation of bottom current activity corresponds to a period of rapid separation of Australia from Antarctica. The recognition and investigation of bottom current features provide new insights into the way in which oceanic circulation patterns may have evolved as the breakup of Gondwana progressed and can help our understanding of the processes that operate during the early stages of passive margin development and the formation of oceanic basins. In addition\, more detailed knowledge of the sedimentary deposits that comprise the post-rift sequence in the Northen Carnarvon Basin can help improve understanding of velocity variations and drilling conditions in these sequences.

SUMMARY:2025 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: Tracking the Fate of CO2 from Switzerland to Iceland with Geophysical Methods
DESCRIPTION:Kindly supported by Rock Flow dynamics  \n  \nThis live webinar will take place at: \nPLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGE FOR THIS EVENT: \n1pm | Perth\n2.30pm | Darwin\n3pm | Brisbane\n3:30pm | Adelaide\n4pm | 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.

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).

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.

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.

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

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. \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:2024 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: Sediment Provenance Analysis of the Early Permian Reservoirs of the Perth Basin (Chemostrat)
DESCRIPTION:Kindly supported by Rock Flow dynamics  \n  \nThis live webinar will take place at: \n11am              – Perth\n12.30pm       – Darwin\, Adelaide\n1pm                – 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. \nSediment Provenance Analysis of the Early Permian Reservoirs of the Perth Basin \nPresented by Stuart Munday (Chemostrat) \nAbstract \n\nThe sediment provenance of Early Permian reservoirs (‘Kingia’ and High Cliff sandstones) of the onshore North Perth Basin is poorly understood. Bulk rock inorganic geochemistry\, detrital zircon geochronology and heavy mineral data have been used to assess spatial and temporal changes in provenance in the vicinity of the Waitsia\, Lockyer Deep\, West Erregulla and Beharra Springs Deep discoveries. The geochemical data provides a chemostratigraphic framework for the Early Permian that can be confidently correlated throughout the basin. The detrital zircon and Raman data have recognised significant regional variabilities. The zircon data defines western and eastern regions that were separated and/or infilled by different depositional systems\, likely defined by the Mountain Bridge Fault. Raman analysis demonstrates that the High Cliff and ‘Kingia’ sediments in the vicinity of Waitsia have different zircon age populations and heavy mineral assemblages\, with the ‘Kingia sandstone’ dominated by apatite indicating access to a granitic source at this time. This is poorly represented by wells in the northern Dongara Terrace and Allanooka Terrace\, where sediments are dominated by garnet. Analysis of Lockyer Deep and West Erregulla discovery wells in the northern Dandaragan Trough\, also demonstrate only minor amounts of apatite\, but also include a significant mafic component\, the source of which is uncertain. The geochemical data demonstrates that the top of these reservoirs is defined by a highly consistent change in provenance\, coincident with a switch to garnet-rich sediments and different dominant zircon age populations.

SUMMARY:2024 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: Deploying Passive/Microseismic Technology to Monitor Subsurface Reservoirs During CO2 Injection
DESCRIPTION:Kindly supported by Rock Flow dynamics  \n  \nThis live webinar will take place at: \n11am              – Perth\n12.30pm       – Darwin\, Adelaide\n1pm                – 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. \nDeploying Passive/Microseismic Technology to Monitor Subsurface Reservoirs During CO2 Injection \nPresented by Roy Bitrus (TenzorGEO) \nAbstract \n\nTenzorGEO aim to advance passive seismic CO2 monitoring technology to enhance environmental stewardship in carbon capture and storage\, and together with operator partners ADNOC have deployed the technology in the Middle East. The results showcase the ability of passive seismic data to verify the containment of CO2 and serve as an early warning system and stability indicator for injected CO2. The solution known as Cuttlefish Carbon Guard (CCG) integrates both passive seismic and microseismic methods with a wider frequency spectrum from 0 – >100Hz to locate microseismic events\, analyse the integrity of the caprock and the storage reservoir\, and analyse spectral responses due to CO2 saturation velocity changes to visualise the reservoir and injected CO2. \nMethod: \nTo develop and standardise acquisition\, processing and interpretation of microseismic data acquired during CO2 monitoring projects the following areas was focused on: Data acquisition\, method workflow\, software and algorithm testing as well as development. \nData Acquisition: Here\, an effective combination of sensor types 1C and 3C were designed and deployed as patches in a grid array. This helped achieve an integrated workflow with reduced volume of acquired data and improved SNR. Data acquired is in the frequency range of 0.1 – >100Hz with tests performed onsite prior to acquisition to determine and suppress surface waves. \nMethod Workflow: Integrate and adapt two standalone passive seismic methods into one solution capable of analysing\, filtering\, processing and interpreting data to visualise the storage reservoir and injected CO2. \nMethod A aims to locate the microseismic events and determine the moment tensor in the reservoir rock – i.e. in response to changes in pressure\, fluid displacement\, pore fluid saturation\, reactivation of fractures and filtration channels.\nAdditionally\, Method B analyses the spectral response of vertically directed P-waves from ambient background microseismic noise (0.1 – 10 Hz) to delineate CO2 saturated rock due to velocity changes. \nSoftware: Finally\, test the capability of the software by acquiring relevant passive seismic data from a CO2 injection project in a field trial with ADNOC. The data acquired will feed into the model and educate the interpretation team as they aim to standardise procedure and application of the solution. \nConclusions: \nThe field project highlights the capability of an integrated passive/microseismic solution\, paving the way for standardized procedures in the measurement\, monitoring and verification (MMV) sector of the industry. The project underscores the technology’s potential to add cost\, security and innovative value while monitoring subsurface reservoir integrity and track CO2 velocity changes. The continuous monitoring nature of the technology can help to increase public and stakeholder confidence.

Initially\, CCS projects were primarily onshore in eastern Australia\, focusing on sequestering CO2 from power generation. By 2011\, the focus had shifted dramatically. Despite regulatory advancements\, the number of active projects decreased between 2011 and 2020. However\, policy shifts such as the Federal government’s net-zero emissions target by 2050 and the introduction of the revised Safeguard Mechanism in 2023 spurred a resurgence in proposed CCS projects\, particularly for LNG and hard-to-abate emission mitigation. Currently\, with record numbers of planned projects\, the need for regulatory reform is evident. The existing petroleum-based CCS regulatory framework poses inefficiencies\, which are further complicated by interactions with Australia’s obligations under international agreements. This complexity emphasises the necessity for regulations tailored to contemporary CCS project realities to meet Australia’s emission reduction commitments. \n

This structural model is based on limited seismic coverage and well intersections near the flanks of the sub-basin\, and is here tentatively revised following integrated mapping with new regional data.  The data integration reveals a possible east-northeast oriented basement ridge with a structural amplitude up to 1000 m in the central part of the Kidson Sub-basin. This ridge possibly divides the Kidson Sub-basin into two distinct parts and potentially is a significant feature with extensive implications for hydrocarbon\, CO2 sequestration\, natural hydrogen\, helium and mineral prospectivities of the sub-basin. Although the basement ridge is supported by regional changes in depositional facies and marginal seismic data\, the existence of such elevated feature remains highly uncertain in the absence of a seismic profile across the ridge. Further work is required to confirm its presence and de-risk exploration efforts.

Despite some preliminary research and examples overseas\, there remains a lack of established protocols and configurations for offshore Carbon Storage monitoring overlying storage sites and an absence of methods to establish environmental impact in the event of leakage. \nCSIRO in collaboration with ANLEC R&D and CarbonNet have undertaken research in the Gippsland region to inform the development of assurance monitoring approaches for subsea Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) operations to address three key technical assurance monitoring challenges: \n\nThe “signal-to-noise” problem: distinguishing CO2 release signatures from similar naturally occurring variability to reduce false alarm rates in future baseline monitoring design;\nCharacterising impact: determining the level of CO2 release that would be associated with environmental impact at a range of scales; and\nAttributing impact: distinguishing changes resulting from other drivers and pressures in multiple-use zones (e.g. climate change) from the activities of CCS operations.\n\nThe research has included a wide variety of approaches and technologies including the development and testing of fixed and mobile autonomous monitoring systems\, chemical and acoustic sensing and the collection of biological datasets. These data have been used in the development of biogeochemical models and to define possible integrated MM&V frameworks.  This presentation will discuss this and other MM&V research and how it could be applied for offshore CO2 storage projects around Australia. \n

Monitoring obligations are challenging because the injected fluid is of negligible commercial value compared to hydrocarbons\, whereas O&G operators in commercial fields have always the incentive of 4D monitoring to improve recovery\, in contrast to the generally defensive function of CCUS monitoring. Monitoring programs for CCS are invariably under pressure over costs\, mobilisation expenses\, frequency of acquisition\, and duration of obligations. This context provides incentives for lower cost methods\, and methods that might use permanent sensors to reduce survey costs.\n\nThe laws of physics describing the expected changes in geophysical responses are the same for CO2 and hydrocarbons of course\, but the unusual nature of CO2 at commercial depths makes its behaviour somewhat intermediate between methane and oil. Further\, typical injection scenarios are very unlike hypothetical reverse gas production\, and monitoring is typically focused on thin plumes driven predominantly by gravity forces. These factors make the surveillance of CO2 plumes often somewhat different in character to typical 4D oilfield workflows\, in addition to the expectations of reduced surface footprint and acquisition costs. In this talk I aim to rehearse some of the basic facts controlling the expected effect of CO2 presence on elastic and electromagnetic properties. The resulting effect of these changes on\nremotely detectable signals from controlled or passive sources will be discussed\, with particular attention to seismic\, our benchmark wavelike high-resolution method. I aim to illustrate the main findings  using published results on well-known CCUS projects. In addition\, a short survey of geophysical monitoring efforts using non-seismic methods\, such as diffusive or potential-fields methods using electromagnetic responses or geomechanics\, will further ornament the brief selection of published work.

Any technical project will have methods for “monitoring and verifying”\, but this mindset can lead to the assumption that M&V is a technology problem. Monitoring methods\, be they geophysical\, geochemical\, or environmental\, are often at the forefront of discussion. In fact\, this distracts attention from the need clearly to identify the purpose of M&V.  Best practice in CCS sees M&V as a component of risk management\, with the challenge being to assess risk correctly and only then assign technologies for its management. This is particularly difficult in the area of environmental monitoring\, where CCS will occur within dynamic and evolving systems where causal chains are notoriously difficult to pin down. In this talk I will explain how to approach M&V as a part of managing the risks of CCS projects\, and suggest a definition of its scope.

The identification of potential leakage pathways and approximation of leakage rates are a critical part of the site selection process and help to minimise material impacts on the environment. Compromised well or subsurface integrity issues may facilitate the migration or release of CO2 out of its primary storage container into shallow groundwater. However\, the probability of leakage via geological features when storing CO2 at well-characterised sites is extremely low. While the probability of compromised well integrity occurrence based on petroleum industry experience is also extremely low\, the probability of well leakage increases with the number of active and inactive wells within the area of the injected CO2 plume. However\, well leakage is relatively easily detected and well mitigation and remediation technologies are well-established. Generally\, multiple barriers and partial migration into various intervening aquifers\, as well as buffering\, dissolution and residual saturation will reduce the total volume ending up in groundwater. \nCarbon dioxide itself is not considered a pollutant or contaminant in groundwater and is not considered as a parameter for water quality in most groundwater jurisdictions. However\, increased CO2 concentrations could reduce the pH of groundwater\, i.e.\, increase its acidity\, and thereby enhance geochemical reactions between groundwater and aquifer sediments\, potentially resulting in release and mobilization of toxic trace metals. Extremely high concentrations of CO2 in groundwater would be required to cause material harm to the environment as demonstrated in exceptional cases of natural CO2 leakage. Such conditions are improbable in the case of CO2 geological storage. Also\, the remobilisation of other harmful substance as result of CO2 leakage has been investigated in many laboratory and field experiments\, and material impacts are generally deemed unlikely under CO2 leakage conditions from a well-characterised and monitored geological storage project. The already low risk of impacts on potable groundwater due to CO2 leakage can be further minimised by early leakage detection before reaching groundwater wells; timely stop of injection and remediation.

The SRMS considers both technical and commercial factors and the major storage resource classes with increasing data knowledge and chance of commerciality are: Inaccessible Storage Resources\, Prospective Storage Resources\, Contingent Storage Resources\, Capacity\, and Stored. The volumetric estimation of storage resources involves the interpretation of the subsurface which has an inherent degree of uncertainty. Fundamental for elevating storage resources to a storage capacity is the evaluation of containment of the stored CO2 and\, most importantly\, injectivity considerations. Here\, bigger is not necessarily better. Rather the capacity of a commercial CO2 storage operation needs to be sufficient to accept the planned volume of CO2 with emphasis on injection efficiency\, safety and economics. Hence\, actual injection or formation tests and containment assessment must provide a high confidence in the commercial injectability of the characterised geologic formation. Injectivity is constrained by the allowable bottom hole pressure\, which should be safely below the reservoir fracture pressure or the pressure capable to activate any faults in the vicinity of the storage complex. Storage capacity could be increased\, at a cost\, by managing reservoir pressure through water production wells. Other than in petroleum operations\, where production wells are generally completed at the top of the reservoir for production efficiency\, CO2 injectors placed at the bottom or at the downdip portion of the storage complex may be the most efficient strategy for achieving maximum storage capacity.

This myth was finally busted in 2022 when Shell and Total Energies respectively announced the giant Graff and Venus discoveries in the Orange Basin offshore Namibia. This was the grand finale of a long-standing debate in which model and data fought a hard battle. On the one hand\, there was a model that did not support the presence\, quality and maturity of source rocks over oceanic crust. On the other hand\, the novel approach of applying seismic source rock characterization in a frontier basin was pointing to the presence of a world class source rock generating hydrocarbons migrating into large traps (Rodriguez et al.\, 2023 EAGE Uruguay) \nIn the Loseth et al.\, 2011 publication“Can hydrocarbon source rocks be identified on seismic data?” compelling evidence using a significant amount of North Sea seismic and well data indicated that seismic data can be used to identify source rocks. \nUsing a full source rock de-risking methodology and access to a large global seismic dataset has enabled identification of source rocks on seismic. This presentation will be a guided tour around the seismic expression of source rocks in frontier basins around the world.

Four major code comparison studies have been carried out over the last twenty years\, mostly to cross-validate simulator performance (of both people and software)\, as well as the most recent comparison with laboratory experiments. \nThe questions addressed by CCS simulation are quite distinct from most hydrocarbon recovery work: one is modelling large volumes of CO2 injection (millions of tonnes) into saline formations\, where the resulting CO2 plume migrates laterally over distances of kilometres\, and in timeframes of up to a thousand years after injection ceases. Feasibility studies need to address the range of uncertainties in the plume footprint\, which stem from the uncertainties in geological characterisation of surface topography\, sub-seismic faults\, and permeability heterogeneity both laterally and vertically. The pressures increase due to injection may necessitate the design of relief wells. Simulations are needed to design monitoring and verification plans\, and to interpret the data which is gathered. Regulatory compliance requires forward predictions of plume evolution\, which can be checked against monitoring results to ensure the CO2 is ‘behaving as predicted’. It may also be necessary to assess the risk of CO2 injection affecting other resources\, such as groundwater\, hydrocarbons\, geothermal or storage projects (for natural gas or hydrogen). \nThe least conventional aspects of CCS simulation involve the coupling of fluid flow to additional physics. Thermal effects are important in the wellbore and the near-well environment\, with the cooling effects of injection reducing the maximum allowable injection pressure. Geochemical interactions with the reservoir rock or seal can potentially aid storage by mineralising CO2\, and this is the focus of in-situ carbonation research. Injection can also induce seismicity\, and this potential can be modelled as well as monitored during operations. Finally\, the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning has prompted research into ways to accelerate the modelling process and allow fast history-matching. \nOverall\, CCS provides many fascinating challenges for subsurface modelling\, and the scope for this work is likely to expand significantly in Australia as more projects progress through feasibility studies towards implementation.
