SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT July Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT July Luncheon\nNew Geological Studies Leading to 2025 Acreage Release in the Polda and Otway Basins\, SA\nPaul Strong and Sharon Tiainen \n(Energy Resources\, Geological Survey of SA\, Department for Energy and Mining)\nThe Polda Basin is a 10\,000 km2 Neoproterozoic to Jurassic basin covering the central western portion of the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia and extends westwards into the Great Australian Bight. The basin is only lightly explored\, with the last significant hydrocarbon exploration occurring in the offshore Polda Basin in the late 1970s/early 1980s\, with no reported hydrocarbon shows except for a relatively minor gas show of 40 ppm methane in Mercury 1. However\, source rock studies in the Jurassic section indicate the presence of immature\, relatively high TOC and excellent generative potential for both oil and gas from carbonaceous claystone and coal. Recent work by the GSSA (Tiainen\, 2025) indicates the presence of a potential source rock from the underlying Neoproterozoic Kilroo Formation\, with oil staining identified in the permeable reservoir intervals in the Polda Formation in the onshore mineral drillhole Kilroo 1A. In addition\, recent work conducted at the University of Adelaide suggests that there may be potential for a natural hydrogen accumulation within the onshore Polda Basin (Rumi Daruso 2023\, shown in Margiono et al. 2024). \nFollowing a recent acreage relinquishment\, one new Regulated Substances Exploration Licence (RSEL) in the Polda Basin is being offered as acreage release block PO2025 RSEL-A by the South Australian Government for competitive work program bidding. \nThe Otway Basin is one of the best known and most actively explored of the series of Mesozoic rift basins that span the southern coastline of Australia\, formed following rifting between the Antarctic and Australian plates. Over the last 2 years DEM has conducted studies over most of the onshore Otway Basin in South Australia\, with results suggesting that significant hydrocarbons have been generated and expelled in a number of structural troughs in the region\, and that suitable reservoir fairways and new play types are now better defined than previously. \nFollowing a recent acreage relinquishment\, five new regulated substances exploration licences (RSELs)\, three gas storage exploration licences (GSELs) and one new geothermal exploration licence (GEL) in the Otway Basin are being offered by the South Australian Government based on work program bidding. A key motivation for the acreage release is the looming shortfall in energy supply in the southeast Australian market. The South Australian onshore Otway Basin is in a strategic location for natural gas exploration and gas storage. \n  \n  \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 31st July 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\, 28th July 2025 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

SUMMARY:2025 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: The Book Cliffs of Eastern Utah – A Virtual Field Trip to A World Class Reservoir Analogue (John Howell)
DESCRIPTION:Kindly supported by Rock Flow dynamics  \n  \nThis live webinar will take place at: \n1pm              – Perth\n2.30pm       – Darwin\, Adelaide\n3pm                – Brisbane\, Canberra\, Hobart\, Melbourne\, Sydney \n**** PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGE FROM REGULAR TIME **** \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. \nThe Book Cliffs of Eastern Utah – A Virtual Field Trip To A World Class Reservoir Analogue\nPresented by Professor John Howell (University of Aberdeen) \nAbstract \n\nThe Cretaceous Blackhawk Formation which crops out in the Book Cliffs of eastern Utah (USA) provides over 150 km of continuous exposures through a prograding clastic wedge. 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.

SUMMARY:PESA ACT/NSW July Technical Talk
DESCRIPTION:Kenmore: A Case Study for Static Modelling in a Mature Oil Field\nThe Kenmore field has been producing oil since 1985 and is moving to late field life. Several work-over opportunities existed\, with Kenmore-43\, a previously cased and suspended but yet to be completed well\, identified as one of the best candidates in the field. Focusing on the Jurassic Basal Birkhead and Hutton intervals\, a geological model was built to capture the possible range of outcomes if Kenmore-43 were to be perforated. The modelling work was closely integrated with the simulation results and was continuously refined to obtain the best possible history match. The work identified Kenmore-43 as a viable economic opportunity\, which followed through with a very successful workover.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT June Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT June Luncheon\nThe impact of triggered earthquakes of the Basel geothermal project 2006 on Engineered Geothermal Systems\nMarkus Häring (Consultant)\nThe triggered earthquake of M 3.4 with subsequent events of M >2 was a turning point in the perception of induced seismicity caused by intentional pressure changes in the subsurface. The events followed a massive hydraulic stimulation into granitic basement at 5 km depth below the city of Basel. \nThe geothermal project attracted worldwide attention\, not only because the seismicity was felt throughout the city\, but also because\, for the first time\, induced seismicity was recorded in detail by a scientifically supported monitoring system. \nSince then\, microseismic monitoring systems have been greatly improved and can now be used in all underground operations where pressure changes occur\, such as oil and gas production\, fraccing\, CCS and EGS. \n  \n  \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 26th June 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\, 23rd June 2025 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee.

Where new gas supply will come from is not clear. One of the areas of focus in 2025 is the offshore Otway Basin. \nIn this webinar\, Dave will try and tie together some general pitfalls and rules of thumb for exploration geoscientists\, an Otway geophysics case study\, and the challenges facing the east coast gas market and our National Electricity Market (NEM). In effect he’s planning a “Franken-tation” – come and join to find out how that goes. \n

SUMMARY:PESA WA June Technical Lunch: The Renaissance Tour: A revival of frontier basins with data-driven exploration
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science: \n \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft\, Qeye and Task Fronterra Geoscience: \n                       \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 19th June.\nThe Renaissance Tour: A revival of frontier basins with data-driven exploration\nPresented by Lauren Found (Searcher)\n\nAs the energy exploration landscape shifts and evolves\, so too does the thinking around the basins we investigate. Advancing seismic technology in the last decade has allowed for a fresh perspective on frontier and previously discarded basins\, with the shifts in thinking yielding billions of barrels of results. \nIn this world tour of frontier basins\, crustal architecture\, source rock presence and reservoir fairways are explored with direct observations from modern\, long-offset seismic data. The deepwater Gulf of Papua had its crustal model challenged and reinterpreted thanks to long-offset 2D seismic acquisition\, allowing for the imaging of large-scale crustal structures. Beneath the salt of the Scotian Basin\, reservoir fairways are imaged in detail and de-risked thanks to Wide Azimuth Seismic Acquisition\, and further south to the conjugate Orange-Pelotas Basins\, high-resolution 3D and Ultrafar AVO analysis reveals a world-class source rock\, observable and mappable on both sides of the margin\, despite being proven only on one side to date. \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:PESA ACT/NSW June Technical Talk
DESCRIPTION:Recent Advances in Faulting and Folding in the NSW Coal Fields: Implications and Observations on Fault Hydrogeology\nUnderstanding the impact of subsurface developments on groundwater is one of the key uncertainties for many resource projects. It is common for opponents to invoke faults as an existential threat to aquifers and groundwater systems. \nWhile minor faulting is common within a development\, the resource is generally relatively unfaulted and may be constrained by faults. Generally\, groundwater models used to support environmental impact statements cover an area wider than the development and often include faults. \nA simple set of workflows and schemas will be presented that can be used to characterise and understand the kinematics of faulting geologically. The hydrogeologic understanding of faults is intimately related to how they crosscut and displace aquitards\, aquifers\, and groundwater resources. These workflows will be illustrated using case studies from the Sydney and Gunnedah basins. \nParticular care must be taken when reviewing data and drawing inferences. Sound geological data and principles must be used to parameterise the hydrogeology of faults. A relatively small amount of work done early\, with the appropriate representation of results\, will ease future developments and expansion.

Once registered with the webinar software you will receive a reminder e-mail 1 hour beforehand. \nWhat happened to CO2 storage in the Great Artesian Basin? (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:PESA WA and CCUSNA - Perth Basin from a CCS Perspective Core Workshop
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA and CCUSNA\n10th of June \, 9:00 – 1600 Carlisle Core Library\nPerth Basin from a CCS Perspective\nSpend a day at the Perth Core Library considering how our collection of cores help us to understand CCS targets in the Perth Basin. We will delve into the importance of characterising seals\, the influence of reservoir heterogeneity vs homogeneity and how diagenesis impacts pore geometry. \nThe Cattamarra Coal Measures ranks highly as a saline aquifer CCS reservoir target as it has excellent net-to-gross and reservoir quality over thick intervals. The fluvio-deltaic depositional environment of this unit provides for significant heterogeneity to promote lateral migration of the injected plume. Diagenesis impacts reservoir quality as a function of depth of burial and reservoir temperature. These impacts will be demonstrated with a suite of cores from various structural settings in the basin. \nThe Dongara Sandstone has attracted attention as a potential CCS reservoir target in depleted fields. Due to the homogeneous nature of the shoreface facies\, this may be the best interval to study the impact of hydrocarbon charge on diagenesis and porosity preservation. \nCores of sealing lithologies are rare but provide important constraints when characterising a CCS storage formation. A suite of cores from the Kockatea Shale and Hovea Member will be investigated to understand variations in facies and the impact of diagenesis on geomechanical properties. \nThe workshop will be led by Julie Cass and Arthur Mory (GSWA) with assistance from Simon Molyneux (Molyneux Advisors) and Jeremy Prosser (Task Fronterra). Simon will show how cuttings can be utilised to investigate these same reservoir quality controls and Jeremy will illustrate how image log data compliments analyses of core and cuttings. \nOrganiser: Julie Cass and Arthur Mory (GSWA) with assistance from Simon Molyneux (Molyneux Advisors) and Jeremy Prosser (Task Fronterra) \nHard limit of 30 attendees.  \nCost:  \nPESA Members:  $30 \nCCUSNA Members: $30 \nThis event is for PESA WA and CCUSNA members only. This is for insurance purposes. Please do not book on behalf of non-members. Please do not attend if you do not have a ticket. \nIf there are any questions\, please don’t hesitate to contact:  wa-secretary@pesa.com.au

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT May Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT May Luncheon\nProspectivity of the Daralingie Shelf area of the Warburton Basin\, SA\nTim Rady (Geomorph Energy) and Rob Kirk (Consultant)\nAbstract:\nTo further highlight the prospectivity of the Warburton Basin\, the South Australian Department for Energy and Mining (SADEM) has undertaken a whole of basin project integrating regional seismic interpretations (using the 2D Cube)\, previous geological understanding\, well and standardized core interpretations. The May 2025 PESA lunch will be the first public release of the main outcomes from this project. \nThe Cambrian eastern Warburton Basin underlies the bulk of the hydrocarbon-producing Permian Cooper Basin in South Australia. The Warburton\, like the Cooper Basin\, is hydrocarbon bearing with a significant catalogue of hydrocarbon shows recorded from a wide variety of lithologies and stratigraphic intervals. Therefore\, understanding the stratigraphic context of hydrocarbon occurrences is critical to unlocking this basin’s prospectivity. It is in this context that two integrated seismic-based interpretations were undertaken in this project and are the focus of PESA’s May 2025 lunch time lecture. \nThe initial seismic interpretation\, by R. Kirk\, looked at the whole eastern Warburton Basin with the results providing the stratigraphic and gross depositional environment (GDE) concepts that underpin the entire project. From this work a new stratigraphic sub-division of the Warburton Basin has been developed (Kirk et al 2025). Subsequently\, the second seismic study was undertaken (by T. Rady) building upon the seismic sequence stratigraphic framework developed by Kirk et al (2025) by combining seismic attributes\, structural and seismic facies mapping and core descriptions to develop GDE and updated reservoir distribution maps for the uppermost section\, termed ‘400-1000’. This work has provided new insights into the basin stratigraphy\, evolution and prospectivity for hydrocarbons (Rady et al 2025). \n  \n\nEvent Details:\nThursday 22nd May 2025\nThe May luncheon is a week earlier than usual due to the AEP conference during the last week of May \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\, 19th May 2025 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

SUMMARY:Joint PESA - SPE WA Evening Event May 2025:  CCS projects and insights from across Australia
DESCRIPTION:PESA – SPE WA invites you to Joint Evening Event.\n\nCCS projects and insights from across Australia: Thursday 15th May 2025\n\nGorgon Carbon Capture and Storage – Insights and Lessons Learned\nRobert Root (Chevron Australia) will provide an overview of Gorgon CCS including performance to date\, system optimization\, and key lessons for other CCS projects. The Gorgon Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) plant is supplied by gas from two foundation fields: Jansz which has low reservoir CO2\, and Gorgon which is relatively high in reservoir CO2 (~14%). The design of Gorgon Project included systems to extract CO2 from the reservoir gas stream feeding the LNG plant and inject it into the Dupuy Formation below Barrow Island (BWI) for permanent storage. Since 2019 CO2 has been injected into the Dupuy at globally significant rates with over 10 million tonnes injected\, however the system has been limited by the capacity to manage reservoir pressure through producing water from the Dupuy Formation and injection into the overlying Barrow Group. Activities are currently underway to increase pressure management capacity including side-tracking and re-completing existing wells\, drilling additional wells\, and installation of surface filtration facilities. \nCO₂mpartmentalising Climate Change: Perth Basin’s Role\nJulia Cass (DEMIRS) will discuss reservoir quality controls in the Perth Basin that have been evaluated to rank carbon storage targets for a CO₂ Storage Atlas being prepared by the Geological Survey of Western Australia. The key attributes for the most prospective targets include thick intervals with high net-to-gross passing cut-off criteria of shale volume below 30% and porosity greater than 10% at depths suitable for supercritical CO₂ storage. Reservoir heterogeneity is preferred as it permits greater lateral plume migration by enhancing residual gas trapping thereby boosting storage efficiency. These attributes alongside seal effectiveness determine the most suitable storage intervals. \nThe Cattamarra Coal Measures emerged as the highest-ranked storage interval of the evaluated targets. It is characterised by thick\, high net-to-gross sections with coarse-grained channel sands providing excellent injection potential. Burial and temperature control diagenesis which naturally degrades porosity and permeability with depth ultimately defining the lower limit of intervals prospective for storage. A combination of temperature modelling\, petrophysical analysis and depth mapping has been utilized to delineate the Cattamarra Coal Measures reservoir target and assess the overlying regional seal of the Cadda Formation. \n\nGlobal CCUS overview: Pivotal progress and persistent challenges\nAnne Forbes (Wood Mackensie) will discuss the highs and lows in the CCUS space across 2024. The 48 Mtpa of sanctioned project capacity was much lower than expected\, although new project capacity announcements remained at a healthy rate. Asia Pacific led in licencing\, with 90% of new awards occurring in APAC. And in Australia\, Moomba CCS\, the world’s lowest cost CCS project to date\, commenced operation. \nLooking forward\, we expect a record number of FIDs\, industry first start-ups\, and the first commercial scale CO2 ship to set sail in 2025. But at a global level we expect the rate of licensing to slow as existing work commitments are actioned. \n\nTickets on sale shortly: \n\nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $40.00 \nNon-Member (Early Bird): $60.00 \nMember: $50.00 \nNon-Member: $70.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST).

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:PESA WA April Technical Lunch: What you should know about borehole images but were afraid to ask…. Forty years of hard-won lessons
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science: \n \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft\, Qeye and Task Fronterra Geoscience: \n                       \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 17th April.\nWhat you should know about borehole images but were afraid to ask…..  Forty years of hard-won lessons\nPresented by Lawrence Bourke (Task Fronterra Geoscience)\n\nBorehole images (BHI) have been around commercially\, for around 40 years now.  The real breakthrough was led by SLB using micro-resistivity on wireline providing cm scale\, high resolution images capable of supporting detailed sedimentological and fracture characterisation to compliment structural analysis.  A whole new field of study\, complimentary to core and seismic data was born! \nIn the early 1990s two things began in earnest:  The development of LWD tools (which would take 20 years to catch up with wireline usability) and the widespread use of Oil Based muds which were a serious setback to BHI interpretability and application\, that would take nearly 20 years to resolve with electronics innovation. \nToday\, there is a bewildering array of image tools: micro resistivity\, sonic\, density\, induction\, capacitance\, electromagnetics\, passive nuclear etc.  All the acquisition companies have their “me too” LWD and wireline offerings\, and also rebrand from time to time!.  But they are not all the same\, in terms of resolution\, bedding definition\, accuracy and application.  But the sales engineers won’t really help you decide! \nFortunately\, we have done that hard work of comparison\, applicability\, and reliability.  Based on detailed commercial studies across the globe over the last 40 years\, the conclusions are presented in a clear and concise manner for the casual BHI user. \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: Cretaceous – Paleogene Evolution of Bottom Currents in the Northern Carnarvon Basin\, Northwest Shelf of Australia

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:PESA ACT/NSW April AGM & Technical Talk
DESCRIPTION:PESA_NSW_2025_AGM_Documents \nPESA NSW Branch Committee Nomination Form 2025\nSource rock deformation and hydrocarbon accumulation controlled by a metamorphic core complex in the Kaiping Sag\, northern South China Sea rifted margin\nThe recent discovery of hundred-million-ton-class oil fields in the Kaiping Sag\, on the northern South China Sea rifted margin\, is considered the first global breakthrough in hydrocarbon exploration within supra- detachment basins controlled by mature metamorphic core complexes (MCCs) at passive margins. We utilize 3D seismic\, petrological and geochemical data to reconstruct source rock deformation and hydrocarbon accumulation in the context of detachment tectonism associated with uplift of the Kaiping MCC. In the pre-MCC stage\, high-quality deep-water lacustrine source rocks of the Lower Wenchang Formation were deposited during the intense rifting. During the late Wenchang stage\, the Kaiping MCC was uplifted via a rolling-hinge process\, which caused the transformation of the original attitude and position of the source rock layers in the Lower Wenchang Formation. The distribution of the source rocks can be characterised by three distinct patterns: disconnected with antithetic dip direction (Model I)\, moderate continuous and V-shaped (Model II)\, and continuous with primitive original dip direction (Model III). These models control the dominant migration direction of hydrocarbons. Furthermore\, the extensive development of fault systems and block rotations associated with the Kaiping MCC linking source rocks to traps and influence local oil migration pathways. The breakthrough of hydrocarbon exploration in the Kaiping Sag verifies that supra- detachment basins associated with MCCs also have the potential to develop high-quality source rocks\, particularly during the rifting phase preceding the uplift of the MCC. The source rocks distribution models\, antithetic faults\, and rotating fault blocks resulting from the Kaiping MCC can serve as a reference model for evaluating source rocks and analysing hydrocarbon accumulation patterns in similar types of basins.
