SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT November Luncheon : Moomba CCS
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT  November Luncheon\nMoomba CCS – delivering a world leading CO2 storage project\nAnthony Western (Santos)\n  \nAbstract:\nThe Moomba Carbon Capture and Storage project is a large-scale CCS project at the Moomba Gas Plant in the Cooper Basin\, South Australia. New facilities were constructed to capture\, dehydrate\, transport and permanently store CO2 emissions that were previously vented to atmosphere and depleted gas fields were selected as the initial storage reservoirs. Five new injection wells were drilled\, and existing wells were re-purposed as monitoring wells to enable the Monitoring and Verification (M&V) plan including environmental assurance monitoring. \nThe Moomba CCS project commenced operations in September 2024 and by June 2025 had safely captured and permanently stored more than 1.0 million tonnes of CO2 emissions. The wells and storage reservoir are performing as expected and monitoring wells are seeing signs of CO2 injection in line with reservoir model predictions. At 1.7 Mtpa CO2e\, it is one of the largest CCS projects in the world and its successful startup and early performance has enabled future CCS growth in the Cooper Basin. \nThis presentation will give an overview of the Moomba CCS project and share some of the results to date\, with a focus on subsurface scope. \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 20th November 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\, 17th Nov 2025 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

SUMMARY:PESA QLD: Technical Evening\, November 19: Henry W. Posamentier on 'Recent applications of seismic geomorphology/stratigraphy'
DESCRIPTION:PESA Queensland welcomes 2025 PESA Distinguished Lecturer\, Henry W. Posamentier to present a technical evening presentation on Recent applications of seismic geomorphology/stratigraphy: Deep-water deposits of the Bay of Bengal and the Norwegian Sea. The technical evening will be held at the Transcontinental Hotel. \nDue to the significant crossover with our peer society ASEG (Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists)\, ASEG members are welcomed to attend at PESA member pricing. \nSpeaker travel and accommodation has been supported by Santos Ltd. \n\n\n\nPresentation:\nRecent applications of seismic geomorphology/stratigraphy: Deep-water deposits of the Bay of Bengal and the Norwegian Sea\n\n\nVenue:\nTranscontinental Hotel\, 482 George St\, Brisbane City QLD 4000\n\n\nDate & Time:\nWednesday\, 19 November 5:15 PM for 6:00 PM Start\n\n\n\n\n  \nRecent applications of seismic geomorphology/stratigraphy: Deep-water deposits of the Bay of Bengal and the Norwegian Sea\nHenry W. Posamentier\nThis presentation will document the seismic stratigraphic and seismic geomorphologic expressions of deep-water deposits of the Bay of Bengal and the Norwegian Sea. They comprise both turbidites as well as mass transport deposits. The turbidite deposits from the Bay of Bengal include leveed channel complexes\, terminal fans\, and overbank sediment waves. With respect to terminal fans\, there are those that terminate basinward of leveed channel systems and are relatively large\, and those that are deposited late within a lowstand cycle of deposition and are confined between the levees of precursor larger channels\, and are relatively small. Intra-basinal channels (i.e.\, channels that start and end on the basin floor) are observed within abandoned meander loops as well as interchannel overbank terrains. These intra-basinal channels are characterized by low sinuosity and likely are mud-filled with no exploration potential.  \nMass transport deposits from the Norwegian Sea include flows\, slumps\, and slides\, as well as isolated outrunner blocks. These deposits are associated with significant substate erosion up to 250m. The outrunner blocks are observed in clusters\, generally in radiating patterns down-system. Some of the outrunner blocks at the termini of erosional furrows are associated with sediment tails orthogonal to the direction of transport\, indicating bottom current direction from southwest to northeast. In addition\, volcanic intrusive deposits will be documented. These intrusives comprise both dikes and sills. Some of the dikes are associated with laccoliths in the shallower section.   \n  \n\n  \nTickets for the Technical Evening Talk can be purchased below. \nEarly Bird ticket pricing will be available until Wednesday\, 12 November 5:30 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 – $35\nNon-Members – $45\nStudent / Retired Members – $25\nMembers – $45\nNon-Members – $55\nStudent / Retired Members – $35\n\n\n\n\n  \nSpeaker travel and accommodation supported by Santos Ltd.

SUMMARY:2025 PESA NSW November Talk
DESCRIPTION:Australia is endowed with abundant\, high-quality energy commodity resources\, which provide reliable energy for domestic use and underpin our status as a major global energy provider. \nThese resources make a substantial contribution to the nation’s gross domestic product and export earnings. Geoscience Australia (GA) has a long history of supporting the nation’s energy sector\, delivering independent geoscientific advice and data to underpin informed decision-making regarding Australia’s energy resources across government\, industry\, and the community. \nA key piece of work than informs this function is the annual publication Australia’s Energy Commodity Resources (AECR). To set the scene\, this talk will introduce the recently published AECR2025 publication before presenting an overview of GA’s current energy program. \nUnder the Resourcing Australia’s Prosperity initiative\, GA is focusing on low carbon energy resources that will help Australia achieve net zero. The forward program includes mapping and assessing geological capacity for CO₂ storage (both onshore and offshore)\, identifying potential hydrogen storage sites\, and evaluating natural hydrogen resources. These activities draw on GA’s expertise and existing data to provide new insights and lower investment risk in new resource developments.

SUMMARY:2025 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: New Insights into Depositional Modelling of the Permian Kingia Sandstone in the Perth Basin Using Ichnology (Fiona Burns)
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. \nNew Insights into Depositional Modelling of the Permian Kingia Sandstone in the Perth Basin Using Ichnology\nPresented by Dr Fiona Burns (Task Fronterra) \nAbstract \n\nHistorically\, sedimentological interpretations of the Kingia Sandstone in the northern Perth Basin have relied heavily upon conventional sedimentary facies analysis of a limited dataset integrating core with well-log data. This paper however provides invaluable insights into the high-resolution depositional modelling of the Kingia Sandstone using sedimentary facies analysis integrated with detailed ichnological studies. Historic cored wells have also been re-evaluated utilising an ichnological approach\, while newly released cored wells have been interpreted\, also using this integrated approach. Cores from a variety of wells including but not limited to West Erreguella-4\, South Erreguella-1\, Mountain Bridge-1\, Corybas-1\, Waitsia-1\, Waitsia-2 and Waitsia-3 have been included in this study. \nThe results allow the subdivision of the Kinga Sandstone into numerous sub-environments reflecting marginal to fully marine  sub-environments. The Kinga sandstone is interpreted to represent deposition in a wave-dominated deltaic system\, with trace-fossil assemblages key to the evaluation of stress levels (e.g. freshwater dilution) in the system. Local sharp-based shoreface packages\, abruptly overlying shelfal deposits\, are interpreted to represent forced regressive events during overall highstand progradation of the Kingia shoreface system.

SUMMARY:PESA WA - Seismic Geomorphology and Seismic Stratigraphy: Fundamentals and Workflows
DESCRIPTION:Supported by Santos Ltd.\nPESA WA – Seismic Geomorphology and Seismic Stratigraphy: Fundamentals and Workflows\nLed by Henry W. Posamentier PhD (Consultant)\nCourse commences at 0900-0930am Thursday: Arrivals\, registration\, tea & coffee. \nObjectives \nThis course is designed to enhance interpretation skill sets with regard to geologic interpretation of seismic data. The overall objective is to present seismic interpretation methods/workflows focused on seismic stratigraphy integrated with seismic geomorphology\, aimed at reducing risk with regard to prediction of lithology\, reservoir compartmentalization\, and stratigraphic trapping potential in exploration and production. Specifically\, the participant will be shown: \n\nworkflows designed to facilitate extraction of stratigraphic insights from 3D seismic data\ntechniques for 3D seismic geomorphologic/stratigraphic analyses\nnumerous examples of various depositional systems in various depositional settings (i.e.\, fluvial\, marginal marine\, deep-water\, shallow-water carbonates)\nintegration of sequence stratigraphic concepts\ndiscussion\, with examples\, of pitfalls in interpretation\n\nContent\nThe application of seismic geomorphology and seismic stratigraphy to exploration and field development is a natural consequence of the advent of high-quality and increasingly more affordable and widespread 3D seismic data currently available. Integrating analyses of plan view (geomorphologic) and section view (stratigraphic) images can significantly enhance predictions of the spatial and temporal distribution of subsurface lithology (reservoir\, source\, and seal)\, compartmentalization\, and stratigraphic trapping capabilities\, as well as enhanced understanding of process sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy. \nParticipants in the course will be exposed to seismic geomorphologic/stratigraphic workflows\, which involve 1) initial reconnaissance through 3D volumes with various slicing techniques using a variety of different seismic attribute volumes including full stack reflection amplitudes\, near and far stacked amplitude volumes\, and coherence volumes\, as well as opacity rendering\, 2) focus on features of geologic interest and further investigate through a combination of detailed slicing\, interval attributes\, horizon picking and amplitude extraction\, horizon illumination\, etc.\, and 3) comprehensive integration of seismic geomorphologic analyses with seismic stratigraphic analyses\, whereby the plan view is integrated with the section view to ensure a consistent interpretation. 4) integration and application of sequence stratigraphic concepts to facilitate data interpretation. \nCourse lectures will involve both PowerPoint presentations as well as interactive demonstrations of the interpretation of 3D seismic data. A wide variety of depositional settings will be shown\, ranging from non-marine to marginal marine\, shelf and deep water\, and will include both clastic as well as carbonate depositional environments. Concepts as well as applications pertaining to seismic-based analyses of depositional systems will be covered in detail. \n  \nPrices: \nMembers:                     $660 \nStudents:                       $200 \nNon-Members:             $1000 \nThis course will be held at the Pan Pacific hotel (207 Adelaide Terrace\, Perth).  Morning tea\, lunch and afternoon tea will be provided as part of the course cost. \n  \n

Onshore jurisdictions dominate the exploration and appraisal activities. In total 82 exploration and appraisal wells were drilled in 2024 (spud date after 31 December 2023). Sixty of these were appraisal wells\, and this was dominated by coal seam gas appraisal drilling in Queensland. Despite the release of the Australian Government’s Future Gas Strategy\, there does not appear to be much in the way of tangible actions to increase exploration. All jurisdictions make land available for exploration via competitive tender\, but in 2024 there were no land releases. Seismic activity in offshore jurisdictions is being limited with new Commonwealth awards being granted without the right to acquire new seismic. Carbon sequestration (CCS) activity continued offshore with the grant of eight of the 2023 land release areas occurring in 2024. While Western Australia\, South Australia and the Northern Territory are taking steps to create the framework for CCS exploration\, in Queensland a sudden announcement saw the cessation of all CCS activity in the Great Artesian Basin\, and importantly also the underlying strata. This ban applies to the use of CO2 in enhanced oil recovery as well. South Australia continues to take lead in natural hydrogen exploration.

SUMMARY:2025 Australian Natural Hydrogen Conference -Adelaide Hills- PESA discount applies
DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of millions of dollars have been committed worldwide to the hunt for natural hydrogen. \nMany more countries and companies are trying to commercialise one of the most abundant and cost-effective forms of hydrogen as the world continues the drive to carbon zero. \nSince the inaugural Natural Hydrogen Association of Australia conference in 2024\, the game has changed. Where are the new natural hydrogen targets; who are the prime movers; what have we learnt from the latest drilling programs; and how have the technical approaches to exploration morphed? \nThis is a fantastic opportunity for interested parties to learn how much closer we are to having at our fingertips a new tool in the carbon zero war. \nThe conference will span 3 days and\, depending on demand\, there could be events on another 2 days. \nThe official conference will begin on Tuesday October 21 with an add-on afternoon workshop on specific technical topics (agenda to be confirmed) and an evening icebreaker session. The official conference is on the Wednesday and Thursday (Oct 22-23)\, with a informal event on the Wednesday evening. \nAs well\, if there is enough demand\, organisers are considering a wine tour of some of the world-renowned wineries of the region on the Monday (Oct 20) and a field trip on Friday (Oct 24). As South Australia is one of the hotbeds of natural hydrogen exploration in this country\, that would be either a core store visit or a trip to one of the sites where natural hydrogen has been identified. \n  \nPESA Member Discounts\nWe welcome interested PESA members to our conference and are offering 10% off the registration pricing. Tickets on sale here: 2025 ANHC. \nYou must be logged in to the PESA website to view the instructions on how to get your discount. \n

SUMMARY:PESA WA October Technical Lunch: Fault timing and depocentre development in the northern Perth Basin

Multiple phases of rifting with variable extension directions during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic resulted in a series of predominantly NNW–SSE trending graben and half-graben extending from the Southern Carnarvon Basin in the north\, through the Perth Basin in the south. Two regions of greater structural complexity are indicated by gravity and magnetic data along the margin\, one of which occurs within the northern Perth Basin and the other between sub-basins of the Southern Carnarvon Basin. Recently acquired seismic surveys that better image the pre-Mesozoic stratigraphy in the northern Perth Basin\, paired with legacy seismic and well data have allowed the investigation of fault timing and show a progressive southward shift in fault activity and depocentre location from the late Carboniferous through to the Early Cretaceous\, and that some faults\, despite having different similar orientations\, initiate at different times. Of particular importance is a change in extension direction in the late Triassic and early Jurassic that allowed the development of E-W trending faults. \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).

Evidence of these phenomena primarily manifest on seismic data as fluid pipes/gas chimneys and pockmarks on surfaces. This presentation will review research completed on this topic and demonstrate how studying these occurrences can provide insight into subsurface fluid dynamics and contribute to better assessing petroleum systems elements.

SUMMARY:PESA WA - The Mungaroo - Brigadier Depositional System\, Northwest Shelf Australia: A Fluvial-Deltaic Reservoir Core Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Supported by Santos Ltd.\nPESA WA \n3rd October 2025\, 9:00 – 1600 Carlisle Core Library\nThe Mungaroo – Brigadier Depositional System\, Northwest Shelf Australia: A Fluvial-Deltaic Reservoir Core Workshop\nThe Late Triassic Mungaroo and Brigadier Formations in the offshore Northern Carnarvon Basin\, NWS\, Australia\, are the deposits of enormous very low-gradient rivers that fed an intracratonic basin. In such a very low gradient setting\, the rivers expand across a broad distributive deltaic plain\, as sediments spill out of channels into vast interdistributary bays. River distributaries reaching the coast deposit thin\, asymmetrical wave-reworked delta sands. Avulsion of rivers laterally over hundreds of kilometres shifts the locus of deposition\, allowing weak waves and tides time to rework sediments at bay mouths into shoreface sands with tidal inlets. Sea level variations can cause shorelines to shift long distances across these low-gradient alluvial-deltaic plains. \nStandard facies models for fluvial-deltaic systems\, which generally focus on higher gradient settings\, do not provide a suitable template for predicting subsurface facies variations within the Mungaroo and Brigadier deposits. In higher gradient settings\, a river crosses thin delta top deposits to feed a thick\, basinward-thickening deltaic wedge\, with the bulk of river-sourced sediments spread down steep deltaic clinoforms offshore. In very low-gradient settings\, a river loses the competency to carry its sediment load to the coast\, and the bulk of the sediment is extracted on the deltaic plains. Deposits in the expanding network of channels\, on floodplain splays and brackish bay deltas\, and within thin shoreline successions define a unique facies mosaic. \nIn this workshop\, participants can observe the low-gradient fluvial-deltaic facies of the Mungaroo and Brigadier systems in core from the Northwest Shelf of Australia. Brief presentations will introduce conceptual models\, set the stage\, and provide a seismic-scale view of this system. Deposits of the major river in more proximal areas of the system are studied in core from Clio and Saty fields. Lower delta plain and river-dominated bay delta deposits are examined in core from Chandon field. Wave-reworked shoreline deposits will be visible in core from Wheatstone field. Together\, these cores provide a sampling of the facies mosaic deposited by these low-gradient systems. By the end of the workshop\, participants will have gained a better understanding of facies models for low-gradient fluvial-deltaic systems. Mungaroo and Brigadier deposits host world-class hydrocarbon reserves\, which require advanced facies predictions to support subsurface modelling and development predictions. Low-gradient fluvial-deltaic facies are essential components of most shallow marine clastic wedges\, particularly during the early highstand when deltaic systems prograde on top of transgressive shelf deposits. The workshop offers participants a broader perspective on fluvial-deltaic facies models\, extending beyond the standard textbook examples. \n  \nSchedule \n9:00 ─ Safety & Introductions \n9:20 ─ Topic #1: Fluvial deposit architecture defined by process models and concepts (Willis: 20 min) \n9:40 ─ Topic #2: Mungaroo-Brigadier System (Lang: 20 min) \n10:00 ─ Topic #3: Mungaroo fluvial hierarchy and down-basin variations (Payenberg: 20 min) \n10:30 ─ Tea break \n10:45 ─ Start Core #1: Mungaroo fluvial (Clio 2 and Satyr 3) \n11:45 ─ Discussion (core review) \n12:00 ─ Lunch \n12:45 ─ Short topic #1 (20 min plus Q&A) High- vs low-slope systems & asymmetric deltas \n13:10 ─ Start core #2: Chandon 2 (Mungaroo lower delta plain and delta front) \n14:00 ─ 14:15 ─ Tea break \n14:30 ─ Start core #3: Wheatstone 2 BCH1ST1 (Brigadier asymmetric wave-influenced delta) \n15:30 ─ Wrap-up discussion \n15:45 ─ Finish \n16:00 ─ Core store closes \nOrganisers: Dr. Brian Willis (Consultant) Dr. Tobi Payenberg (Chevron) & Prof. Simon Lang (UWA) \nHard limit of 30 attendees.  \n  \nCost:  \nPESA Members:  $250 \nPESA Student Members $100 \n  \nThis event is for PESA WA members only.

SUMMARY:PESA WA October Technical Evening:  Three-Dimensional Architecture of Wave-Dominated Delta Deposits
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science: \n \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft\, Qeye\, Totum Compliance\, Core Laboratories and Task Fronterra Geoscience: \n                       \n       \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical evening on Thursday 2nd October.\nSupported by Santos Ltd.\nThree-Dimensional Architecture of Wave-Dominated Delta Deposits\nPresented by Brian J. Willis (Willis Geoscience)\n\nNew numerical wave-influenced delta depositional models are challenging long-held rational for interpreting sea level variations recorded by wave-dominated shallow-marine successions. Shallow-marine\, wave-dominated deposits (parasequences) are generally inferred to exhibit a decrease in wave energy and grain size with increasing water depth and to occur in facies belts that are laterally continuous for long distances along strike. Bedding geometry and vertical facies successions within these parasequences are interpreted in relation to a prograding equilibrium shoreface profile (cf. Bruun rule) and a gradual upward-coarsening facies progression (cf. Walther’s law). Sea-level fall is commonly inferred to generate a sharp-based shoreface succession\, characterized by an abrupt vertical transition from heterolithic lower shoreface to sandy upper shoreface deposits across a marine erosion surface. A truncated vertical shoreface succession\, capped by a marine erosion surface\, is inferred to record significant wave ravinement during sea level rise and transgression. \nThree-dimensional\, process-physics-based\, coupled hydrodynamic-morphodynamic wave-influenced delta models suggest that wave-dominated deltas will develop a sandy shoreface inner clinoform dipping from the subaerial delta plain to a relatively flat wave-scoured subaqueous delta top\, which is laterally separated from a muddier delta front outer clinoform that dips from the subaqueous delta top edge to the shelf floor. As these systems prograde\, deposits of these dual-clinoforms will become vertically stacked and will be separated by a regressive surface of marine erosion formed on the subaqueous delta top. Grain-size contrasts between these vertically stacked clinoform deposits reflect differences in sediment-transport directions and sorting under river- and wave-driven littoral currents along the coast\, and cannot be uniquely related to sea-level changes. Gradual vertical facies successions develop where waves are less effective at reworking river-supplied sediment alongshore. In contrast\, sharp-based shoreface deposits record more effective wave separation of sands onto the shoreface clinoform as muds are preferentially transported offshore onto the subaqueous delta clinoform. \nThe continuity of a regressive surface of marine erosion over many tens to hundreds of kilometres across mid-shelf regions of some stratigraphic sequences reflects a gradual lateral shift in the position of littoral current erosion on a subaqueous delta top. Timelines cross such vertical lithic discontinuities throughout the extent of a prograding deposit\, and the regressive surface of marine erosion thus has little chronostratigraphic significance. The model results are used to suggest: 1) Characteristic strongly asymmetric wave-dominated parasequences suggest common river avulsion at the start of transgression\, 2) Observed down-dip transitions from “gradual-based” to “sharp-based” shoreface deposits might record reduced sediment supply to the coast relative to rates of longshore drift as the system expands toward its auto-retreat limit\, rather than transitions from normal to forced regression\, and 3) Regional “top-truncated” shoreface successions might record progradation of dual-clinoform shorelines with wide deviation in net direction of regional sediment supply and shallow-water wave transport\, rather than significant regional transgressive ravinement. The results of these models suggest caution in inferring sea-level changes from the character of vertical facies changes observed in individual well logs and isolated outcrop exposures. The models suggest new facies relationships that require testing in modern systems\, outcrops\, and subsurface examples. \nTicket Prices:\nMember: $25.00 \nStudent Member: $10.00 \nNon-Member: $50.00 \nStudent Member pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST). \n

SUMMARY:2025 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: Burial Diagenesis and the Case of the Giant Perla Field in the Gulf of Venezuela Basin (Fernando Valencia Fermin)

Burial diagenesis\, in particular\, refers to the diagenetic modifications occurred due to the influence of burial processes in the mesogenetic environment. The study of diagenesis is important in both siliciclastic and carbonate reservoirs; however\, they are key in the latter since they are more chemically reactive. The Perla Limestone\, an Oligo-Miocene carbonate reservoir located in the Gulf of Venezuela Basin\, considered the largest gas field in Latin America (>17 Tscf of gas in place)\, shows a complex porosity system marked by a strong diagenetic control. Despite comprehensive depositional facies modelling carried out in this reservoir\, inconsistencies remained when distributing petrophysical properties with depositional facies. Specifically\, in areas strongly affected by diagenetic processes since they constitute a complex variable to reproduce in a predictive reservoir quality-model. In order to understand the impact of diagenesis in the Perla Limestone\, and its distribution along the carbonate succession; a detailed petrographic\, mineralogical and chemical analysis on well-cores was performed. As a result\, several diagenetic processes that created and destroyed porosity and permeability were identified and grouped chronologically in function of the evolution of the diagenetic environment. Within these processes\, an important burial dissolution process\, likely linked to the ascent of CO2-rich fluids mediated by basement-root faults\, fractures\, and stylolites allowed the development of pervasive secondary porosity in the vicinity of the major discontinuity surfaces. On the other hand\, blocky-calcite cementation in the near surface to shallow burial environment\, and the progressive mechanical compaction in the burial realm\, were the main responsible for reservoir quality destruction.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT Evening Technical Talk: Three-Dimensional Architecture of Wave-Dominated Delta Deposits
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA : Evening Technical Talk\nThree-Dimensional Architecture of Wave-Dominated Delta Deposits\nBrian Willis1\, Tao Sun2 and Bruce Ainsworth3\n  \n1. Presenter\, Willis Geoscience\, Consultant\, Longmont\, CO\, USA; 2. Chevron Technology Center\, Research Fellow\, Houston\, TX\, USA; 3. Adjunct Professor\, University of Adelaide\, Australia. \nSep. 29th 2025\n  \nJoin PESA SA/NT for an Exclusive Distinguished Lecturer Event Featuring Brian Willis \nPESA SA/NT is proud to host Brian Willis\, renowned fluvial sedimentologist and stratigrapher with decades of experience at Chevron and BP\, as part of our Distinguished Lecturer Tour. This PESA Distinguished Lecture is made possible with the generous support of Santos Ltd. \nOverview:\nNew numerical wave-influenced delta depositional models are challenging long-held rational for interpreting sea level variations recorded by wave-dominated shallow-marine successions. Shallow-marine\, wave-dominated deposits (parasequences) are generally inferred to exhibit a decrease in wave energy and grain size with increasing water depth and to occur in facies belts that are laterally continuous for long distances along strike. Bedding geometry and vertical facies successions within these parasequences are interpreted in relation to a prograding equilibrium shoreface profile (cf. Bruun rule) and a gradual upward-coarsening facies progression (cf. Walther’s law). Sea-level fall is commonly inferred to generate a sharp-based shoreface succession\, characterized by an abrupt vertical transition from heterolithic lower shoreface to sandy upper shoreface deposits across a marine erosion surface. A truncated vertical shoreface succession\, capped by a marine erosion surface\, is inferred to record significant wave ravinement during sea level rise and transgression. \nThree-dimensional\, process-physics-based\, coupled hydrodynamic-morphodynamic wave-influenced delta models suggest that wave-dominated deltas will develop a sandy shoreface inner clinoform dipping from the subaerial delta plain to a relatively flat wave-scoured subaqueous delta top\, which is laterally separated from a muddier delta front outer clinoform that dips from the subaqueous delta top edge to the shelf floor. As these systems prograde\, deposits of these dual-clinoforms will become vertically stacked and will be separated by a regressive surface of marine erosion formed on the subaqueous delta top. Grain-size contrasts between these vertically stacked clinoform deposits reflect differences in sediment-transport directions and sorting under river- and wave-driven littoral currents along the coast\, and cannot be uniquely related to sea-level changes. Gradual vertical facies successions develop where waves are less effective at reworking river-supplied sediment alongshore. In contrast\, sharp-based shoreface deposits record more effective wave separation of sands onto the shoreface clinoform as muds are preferentially transported offshore onto the subaqueous delta clinoform. \nThe continuity of a regressive surface of marine erosion over many tens to hundreds of kilometres across mid-shelf regions of some stratigraphic sequences reflects a gradual lateral shift in the position of littoral current erosion on a subaqueous delta top. Timelines cross such vertical lithic discontinuities throughout the extent of a prograding deposit\, and the regressive surface of marine erosion thus has little chronostratigraphic significance. The model results are used to suggest: 1) Characteristic strongly asymmetric wave-dominated parasequences suggest common river avulsion at the start of transgression\, 2) Observed down-dip transitions from “gradual-based” to “sharp-based” shoreface deposits might record reduced sediment supply to the coast relative to rates of longshore drift as the system expands toward its auto-retreat limit\, rather than transitions from normal to forced regression\, and 3) Regional “top-truncated” shoreface successions might record progradation of dual-clinoform shorelines with wide deviation in net direction of regional sediment supply and shallow-water wave transport\, rather than significant regional transgressive ravinement. The results of these models suggest caution in inferring sea-level changes from the character of vertical facies changes observed in individual well logs and isolated outcrop exposures. The models suggest new facies relationships that require testing in modern systems\, outcrops\, and subsurface examples. \n  \n  \nTimings for the event: \n5:30 to 6:00 – pre-talk drinks and canapes\n6:00 to 7:00 – evening talk and Q&A\n7:00 to 7:30 – post-talk drinks in the bar \nPESA SA/NT will provide a selection of canapes.

SUMMARY:PESA SA : Meandering Murray Field Trip & Fluvial Stratigraphy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA : Meandering Murray Field Trip & Fluvial Stratigraphy Workshop\nMagnificent Meandering Murray field trip: a modern-day fluvial system analogue\nSep. 28th and 29th 2025\nBrian Willis (ex Chevron ) & Andrew McKerron (Beach Energy)\n  \nJoin PESA SA/NT for an Exclusive Distinguished Lecturer Event Featuring Brian Willis \nPESA SA/NT is proud to host Brian Willis\, renowned fluvial sedimentologist and stratigrapher with decades of experience at Chevron and BP\, as part of our Distinguished Lecturer Tour. This PESA Distinguished Lecture is made possible with the generous support of Santos Ltd. \n  \nThis exciting two-day workshop offers a unique blend of field and classroom learning: \n  \n\nDay 1: Field Excursion – Sunday\, 28 September Explore the stunning landscapes of the Murray River on a guided geological field trip led by Brian Willis and Andrew McKerron\n\n          Ticket Price: Free to attend | Logistics (Self organized) meeting point will be advised closer to the date \n  \n\nDay 2: Fluvial Reservoir Heterogeneity Characterization Workshop – Monday\, 29 September \n\n         Ticket Price: $250 per participant | Location: Ayers House \nWhether you’re a student\, professional\, or enthusiast\, this is a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of the industry’s leading experts. \nLimited spots available – register now! \n  \nWorkshop Details:\nFluvial Systems – From River to Reservoir\nTraditional characterization of fluvial reservoirs focuses on relating vertical facies patterns observed in core samples to a static aerial view of an analogue river. Such comparisons fall short of generating precise predictions of the distribution of reservoir heterogeneities that can impact subsurface fluid flow and reservoir development behavior. Heterogeneity patterns within fluvial deposits are emergent structures (i.e.\, in systems analysis\, “emergent structures” are patterns that arise from the collective actions of many individual parts and behaviors and have properties that the parts themselves do not have). In fluvial deposits\, these patterns are formed by shifts in deposition and erosion during river floods\, dynamic changes in grain sorting along a river channel during lateral migration and cutoff within a channel belt\, and the stacking of channel belts as the floodplain aggrades. This course aims to build on traditional fluvial facies models to develop a more dynamic understanding of how a hierarchy of depositional processes defines heterogeneity patterns within fluvial reservoirs. \n• Discuss terminology and concepts to define the hierarchy of processes and deposits that control reservoir-heterogeneity 3D patterns and scaling. \n• Examine process-based\, numerical\, river depositional models to better understand the emergence of heterogeneities within evolving channel belts. \n• Catalogue 3D facies patterns developed within a range of river systems as a template for defining reservoir heterogeneity. \nLectures will introduce the hierarchical organization of fluvial deposits and discuss models for the development of heterogeneities within fluvial channel belts. The focus is on considering how dynamic changes preserve 3D facies patterns and understanding how these facies patterns vary between a wide range of fluvial systems. Well log interpretation and correlation exercises will demonstrate subsurface applications. The workshop is structured to challenge experienced practitioners to rethink standard practices\, while remaining general enough to benefit geologists with little experience in fluvial systems\, as well as reservoir modelers and engineers\, with a broad overview of potential subsurface variation patterns. \n  \nWorkshop Timing: \n9:30 am-5:00 pm \n  \nBrian Willis will be giving an evening talk at 5:30 pm. The talk is free for workshop attendees\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:PESA ACT/NSW September Technical Talk
DESCRIPTION:Hot Rocks and Hydrogen : the Devil’s Brew\nNE Tasmania has a thin crust and shallow Curie Point Depth\, and is a geologically distinct terrane to the rest of Tasmania. High heat flow values and slow mid-upper crust Vp values support regional and detailed magnetotelluric surveys which indicate shallow electrical conductivity anomalies similar to those observed beneath geothermal fields in NZ and elsewhere worldwide. Devil Resources has modelled existing data to define a hot zone at economically exploitable depth. Other potential zones are identified nearby. Devil is also investigating the potential for natural hydrogen west of the Tamar\, where a set of ultramafic thrusts are identified. The Devil licences are centred on Bell Bay\, where a deep water port and manufacturing zone provide a good basis for viable development. Electricity demand in Tasmania is strong and expanding.

SUMMARY:2025 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: 2024 Development and Production Review (Martin Wilkes)
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. \n2024 Development and Production Review\nPresented by Martin Wilkes (RISC Managing Director) \nAbstract \n\nGeopolitical uncertainty continued in 2024 with continuation of the war in Ukraine\, Israeli actions in the Gaza strip\, tension between China and several neighbouring countries\, and the impending election in the United States of America. 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.

We need your help to make that happen in 2025. \nThis annual event brings together speakers and delegates from across the wider energy industry for a fantastic\, informative and educational day. The organising committee anticipates up to 100 industry delegates in attendance with approximately 12 presentations scheduled over the day in the four sponsored sessions. A selection of Display Booths and Student Posters will be a feature of the break-out area between sessions. \nThe PESA Queensland Symposium is made possible with the support of Event Sponsors. This year\, PESA QLD is offering two levels of Event Sponsorship – Gold and Silver Sessions Sponsors. Companies are also welcomed to purchase an Exhibition Booth Display\, or support PESA by sponsoring the costs for providing the coffee cart; AV costs; subsidised attendance for students or the post-symposium cocktail function. We are also happy to discuss other options upon request – please ask.  We certainly hope that you will choose to join the list of peer companies and support the 2025 PESA Queensland Symposium. \nAs an event sponsor\, your company would be: \n– recognised on program and posters; \n– acknowledged throughout the day; \n– have access to display booths and discounted attendance; \n– able to display company banners on the main stage or in the foyer\, as determined by the sponsorship level. \nAttached is a guide detailing the Event Sponsorships Packages available along with Display Booth information\, and we would be happy to discuss this or any other ideas you might have. We also encourage sponsors to provide their company logo to be displayed on the day which gives wonderful exposure to both the public and the symposium delegates. We hope you will become one of our sponsors and thus assist us to continue to promote our industry via this informative\, enjoyable networking occasion. \nSecuring an Event Sponsorship package or a Display Booth can be made by contacting the Symposium sub-committee\,  via the Queensland Treasurer qld-treasurer@pesa.com.au . \n  \nRegistration for the event will be via the PESA website\, with tickets opening Monday August 4th.

In order to address these challenges\, we developed two novel in-situ laser-based methods that have the potential to quickly and accurately resolve these processes. The first method provides a tool to date clay phases in shales using Rb–Sr geochronology. We show that the Rb–Sr isotopic system in shales is sensitive to temperatures equivalent to the oil-gas window. The second technique demonstrates an approach for dating carbonate formation using U–Pb geochronology via a laser isotopic mapping approach. The laser rasters can be compiled into interactive maps\, and this spatial and geochemical information can be used target multiple generations of carbonate mineralisation. Records of natural carbonate precipitation can be used as an analogue for assessing the potential of host rocks for carbon capture and storage.\n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 28th August 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\, 25th August 2025 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.
