SUMMARY:PESA NSW: June 2026 Technical Lunch
DESCRIPTION:New opportunities for gas exploration in NSW – acreage available first time in a decade \nOn 29 April 2026 the NSW Minister for Natural Resources announced the release of new areas for exploration in the North West of NSW near the South Australian and Queensland borders. They are inviting companies to apply for the grant of exploration tenements over two specific areas (the Bancannia and Pondie Range Troughs) that have previously been identified as prospective for oil and gas. \nPESA has approached the Executive Team for the Minister and we are negotiating the details of the person in that Team to come and provide us updated information on the areas involved\, their prospectivity\, the conditions for the grants and the administrative details required for interested entities. More information on the speaker will be released closer to June 9. \nMeanwhile\, full details of the contents of the Minister’s Press Release are available on the NSW Ministerial media releases website and published on 29 April 2026. One of the key conditions for applicants will be the areas involved will be subject to requirements any gas produced from the areas covered by these newly released EL’s will be reserved for domestic consumption. \nThis is an exciting development and shows the NSW Government are aware of and are taking positive steps to relieve the coming gas shortage in NSW. Recent television interviews have also shown the Minister willingly talking over the Santos Narrabri Project and its progress through the Regulatory Regime\, so discussions at our June 9 meeting are likely to expand beyond the newly released areas for exploration.

SUMMARY:PESA WA: Introduction to Play Mapping
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA invites you to a two-day course on Wednesday 10 June and Thursday 11 June at the Shoe Bar\, Yagan Square\, Perth\nIntroduction to Play Mapping\nPresented by: Dr Darren Ferdinando (Basin Science)\n\nObjectives\nThis course is designed to introduce geological play mapping for oil and gas exploration. It is aimed at geoscientists who are interested in applying the concepts of hydrocarbon play mapping to identify areas of high and low prospectivity in terms of the key play elements –\nreservoir\, seal\, trap and charge and using these to identify hydrocarbon potential across scales from permit to basin-wide assessments for quick-screening of new ventures opportunities through to detailed play assessments of core areas. Over two days participants will be shown: \n\nMethodologies for breaking a stratigraphic succession into a series of meaningful and manageable plays with emphasis on using sequence stratigraphic concepts\nWhat comprises the key play elements in a play and how to characterise them\nPost-Drill Assessment of petroleum wells for play mapping\nMapping out Gross Depositional Environments across a play\nVarious styles of play mapping from simple ‘Traffic Light’ mapping through to detailed split risk maps and the scenarios in which they are used\nIntegration of play maps with Prospects and Leads and how to apply various risking schemes (e.g. 4-factor risking\, 5-factor risking etc) to the play mapping\nBasin-wide assessment of multiple plays\nDiscussion of examples of play mapping across several onshore and offshore Australian Basins and the benefits and pitfalls of a variety of play mapping methodologies\n\nContent\nThe process of play mapping incorporates assimilating data from petroleum wells\, seismic data\, sequence stratigraphy\, remoting sensing (magnetic and gravity) data and other sources and combining this data into a spatially meaningful and consistent set of maps that highlight areas of high\, medium and low prospectivity as an aid for exploration. Play mapping can be used in a range of ways from screening large areas for new ventures or gazettal assessments\, determination of areas with lower potential to relinquish in a permit renewal\, or even to identify frontier areas with the high potential to acquire new data across. Participants will work through the core concepts in play mapping through presentations and a series of interactive activities and hands-on exercises in play mapping using data from Australian basins to create play and gross depositional environment maps. \n\nTicket Prices: \nMembers: $750.00 \nNon-Members: $1000 \nStudents: $200.00 (NB – one place only available) \nPlease note that this event will be held on Wednesday and Thursday 10 & 11 June 2026 at The Shoe Bar (Yagan Square\, Perth). \n

SUMMARY:PESA WA: June Technical Luncheon: Dr Peter Moore - Australian Geoscience Council (AGC) National Geoscience Champion
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA invites you to our June Technical Luncheon on Thursday 25 June at The Melbourne Hotel:\n“Petroleum Geoscience and the Energy Transition: A Personal Historical Perspective and Predictions for the Future”\nPresented by Dr Peter Moore (Adjunct Professor at Curtin University)\n\nAn historical perspective on important advances that Dr Peter Moore has been witness to\, and continuation of the story into the future around the emergence of non-fossil-fuel energy sources and the likely ongoing roles of geoscientists. \nThe petroleum industry was technologically advanced by the mid 1900s\, but a number of developments over the last half century stand out in the areas of seismic\, sequence stratigraphy\, assessment technologies\, deepwater plays\, drilling\, offshore developments\, CSG and shale\, which will be discussed\, including from a personal perspective. These developments have served to maintain the competitiveness of the petroleum industry and have satisfied an increasing demand over time. \nHowever\, a key question for the industry is its future role in the evolving energy transition. Analysis is difficult because there are multiple competing narratives and strong vested interests. \nToday we sit at a pivot point\, with a growing divergence of possible energy futures\, depending on how the world balances economic growth\, energy poverty\, geopolitics\, and great power competition against emissions reduction\, fossil fuel elimination and climate change concerns. \nIn the decade since the Paris agreement and despite significant progress\, the 1.5oC goal is lost and fossil fuel’s contribution to energy consumption remains at 80%. \nWhile both sides (fossil fuel supporters and renewable proponents) argue their case\, the next 15 years at least is becoming clearer – a US/China energy and manufacturing divide\, huge growth of renewables but matched by overall energy growth\, the emergence of nuclear\, and the persistence of petroleum\, especially gas. \nDespite trillions of dollars spent on the energy transition\, we have underestimated the difficulty in speedily transitioning the world’s energy and industrial infrastructure\, and have underestimated global growth\, including overall energy consumption. This can be seen by comparing predictions and model outcomes published over the last decade. \nFor today’s petroleum geoscientists\, technology and jobs will continue to evolve while new areas are likely to include advanced geothermal\, CCS\, and potentially natural hydrogen. As fields decline and new developments and discoveries become smaller\, more effort and technology is required from petroleum companies and individuals to deliver the energy the world still demands. \n\nTicket Prices: \nEarly Bird Member (Until 5pm Thursday 18 June): $69.00 \nMember (Friday 19 June – Monday 22 June): $79.00 \nStudent Member (Until Monday 22 June): $20.00 \nConcession Member [Retired or Hardship] (Until Monday 22 June): $59.00 \nNon-Member (Until Monday 22 June): $89.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Thursday 18 June at 5pm (AWST). All ticket sales close at 5pm Monday 22 June.  No further tickets will be allocated after this time. \nPlease note that this event will be held on Thursday 25 June at The Melbourne Hotel (33 Milligan Street\, Perth). \nPlease note that this event includes lunch (main meal and dessert)\, soft drinks and juice\, tea and coffee.  There will be a cash bar available. \nHosted with thanks to our Platinum Sponsor: \n \nand Gold Sponsor: \n \nand Silver Sponsors: \n \n \n \nand Bronze Sponsor:

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT June Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:PESA SA/NT June Luncheon\n“Understanding exploration success and failure in the Cooper and Eromanga Basins\, South Australia”\nSharon Tiainen \nDEM\n  \nAbstract:\nLooking back at open-file well and production data provides an historical account of exploration success and failure in the Cooper and Eromanga Basins in South Australia. While the largest gas fields in the Cooper Basin were found early\, this pattern does not hold for oil in the Eromanga Basin. The Western Flank oil discoveries followed the entry of new operators and new licences. Despite the basins’ maturity\, some areas remain underexplored\, for example\, the Nappamerri Trough has no dedicated oil wells despite being similar in size to the Western Flank. The look back highlights the value of ongoing acreage releases\, which promote data refresh\, competition\, and the discovery of overlooked oil and gas potential. \n  \nEvent Details:\nThursday\, 25th June 2026 \nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nThe luncheon will consist of 2 courses and drinks \nBookings close 5 pm Monday\, 22nd June  2026 \nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

SUMMARY:PESA QLD: Structural Controls on Aquifer Connectivity in the Great Artesian Basin\, Narrabri
DESCRIPTION:PESA QLD June Luncheon\n\nGeological structures and aquifer connectivity in the Great Artesian Basin and underlying Permian-Triassic basins: insights from airborne electromagnetic surveys\, hydrochemistry and environmental tracers at Narrabri\, NSW\nPresented by: Dr Matthias Raiber\n(Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO)\n  \nAbstract: \nIn the Narrabri region\, understanding connectivity between coal seam gas (CSG) reservoirs and overlying aquifers is important for assessing potential groundwater impacts and addressing community concerns\, given that the Gunnedah Basin\, which hosts the coal seams\, underlies key Great Artesian Basin (GAB) units such as the Pilliga Sandstone. \nThis study applies an integrated workflow combining airborne electromagnetics (SkyTEM)\, seismic interpretation\, K/Ar dating of igneous intrusions\, and hydrochemical and environmental tracer datasets (including noble gases and groundwater age tracers). The SkyTEM survey (~2\,765 line km; >60 flight lines) provides high-resolution constraints on subsurface architecture\, enabling mapping of faults\, intrusions\, and key stratigraphic boundaries to ~400 m depth. \nAEM results and K/Ar ages of intrusive activity were integrated with seismic and geological data to develop conceptual hydrogeological models identifying potential connectivity pathways. Hydrochemical and tracer data were then used to test for evidence of hydraulic connection across formations and basins\, allowing structural interpretations to be evaluated against groundwater signatures. \nResults indicate that geological structures are widespread\, but their hydraulic significance and therefore their potential influence on connectivity varies across the study area. \nThe presentation focuses on the Narrabri Gas Project area while also addressing broader GAB connectivity questions. The integrated workflow provides a transferable framework for reducing uncertainty in subsurface fluid flow\, with relevance to hydrocarbon studies\, hydrogen storage\, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)\, and related applications. \n  \nEvent Details:\nDate: Thursday\, June 25th 2026 \nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Stamford Plaza Brisbane \nBookings close 5 pm Tuesday\, June 23rd 2026 unless sold out prior. \n

SUMMARY:PESA WA: Alice Springs Field Trip and Core Viewing
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA ALICE SPRINGS FIELD TRIP\nPESA WA is hosting a field trip to Alice Springs in September 2026.  This is a fantastic opportunity to explore the region\, engage directly with field activities\, and deepen your understanding of the area’s geological context. \nStarting in Alice Springs\, the field trip includes three nights of 4-star accommodation\, with breakfast and lunch provided\, along with transport to and from the field. Expert guidance and commentary will be provided by Peter Haines with contributions from Fiona Burns and Simon Lang. The itinerary covers four days of Amadeus Basin geology\, split evenly between two half days viewing cores and two full days in the field. \nDuring the core workshops\, Fiona Burns (Task Fronterra) will lead participants through the Tent Hill-1 core. This well provides a near-complete section through the Lower to Middle Ordovician stratigraphy\, including the Pacoota Sandstone and overlying units. The Pacoota interval is represented by sub-units P3 to P1\, and recent work suggests deposition in a high-energy\, wave- and storm-dominated shoreface to shelf environment\, with a clear influence from nearby river systems. Simon Lang (GeoSed Consulting) will complement this by guiding the group through cores from the Mereenie Field\, including the P4 sub-unit of the Pacoota Sandstone\, offering a broader view of the full stratigraphic succession. \nIn the field\, Peter Haines (DMPE) will lead the group through the Ellery Creek section\, located approximately 90 km west of Alice Springs. This outcrop provides an exceptional\, near-continuous record of northern Amadeus Basin stratigraphy from the Tonian through to the Devonian. The field component will focus on the Larapinta Group\, comprising the Pacoota Sandstone\, Horn Valley Siltstone\, and Stairway Sandstone\, which represent the primary reservoir and source intervals for key regional accumulations such as the Palm Valley gas field\, Mereenie oil and gas field\, and the Surprise oil field. Participants can expect to see well-exposed sedimentary facies\, trace fossils\, and clear expressions of basin evolution\, with a possible extension into Devonian units depending on access conditions. \nBy combining detailed core analysis with regionally significant outcrop observations\, the trip is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the stratigraphy and to highlight how depositional environments and systems have evolved. \nThere will also be the opportunity to hunt for fossils\, including trilobites\, within the Horn Valley Siltstone. \nFieldtrip Leader: Peter Haines. \nContributors: Fiona Burns\, Simon Lang\, Charlie Verdel. \n \nItinerary: \nDay 1: PM: Core Store (0.5 day): Tent Hill-1 Pacoota and Stairway sandstone cores led by Fiona Burns. \nDay 2: Field Day: Ellery Creek\, Pacoota Sandstone section (shallow marine/deltaic) led by Peter Haines. \nDay 3: Field Day: Ellery Creek section (revisited) and other outcrops (stromatolites\, Dalmatian Rock) by Peter Haines and Charlie Verdel. \nDay 4: AM: Core Store (0.5 day): Mereenie Field core led by Simon Lang \n  \nCost: \n\nAttendance is open only to PESA members\, including interstate and international members.  Non-members must join PESA to attend.\n$1500.00 per person (includes accommodation\, transport to field areas\, breakfast\, lunch and digital field guide).\n\nPlease note that flights are not included in the above\, and places are limited.

SUMMARY:PESA WA: Expression of Interest Alice Springs Fieldtrip
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA are planning a field trip to Alice Springs in September 2026.  PESA WA are currently seeking expressions of interest from those who would like to join to see if this is a viable trip. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore the region\, engage directly with field activities\, and deepen your understanding of the area’s geological context.  Attendance will be open only to PESA members\, including interstate and international members.  Non-members are encouraged to join PESA to attend. \nDescription: \nThis fieldtrip is designed for geoscientists and reservoir engineers who primarily focus on deltaic and shallow marine successions\, especially those involved in building or updating geomodels. Whether your task involves a simple facies analysis and well correlation across shallow marine and marginal marine systems\, or input of fluvial channel dimensions into a geomodel\, this fieldtrip will benefit you in several ways. \nThe Ordovician Larapinta Group\, Amadeus Basin\, Northern Territory consists of a succession of mostly shallow marine\, mixed clastic and carbonate strata deposited in the epeiric Larapintine Sea of northern peri-Gondwana. The Pacoota Sandstone is a thick (up to 850 m) deposit of siliciclastic rocks straddling the Cambrian-Ordovician boundary in the Amadeus Basin of central Australia. It is a significant hydrocarbon reservoir (e.g. Meernie Field\, Palm Valley\, Tent Hill-1). It contains four stratigraphic sequences separated by datable events\, described by P Haines. These sequences can be recognised and correlated widely in the subsurface. \nThe Stairway Sandstone is a succession of Middle Ordovician siliciclastic sedimentary rocks\, composed of shallow marine sandstones and mudstones\, with calcareous units also common. The thickness of the formation is highly variable\, ranging from 30 m on the shallower southern margin of the basin to 560 m on the northern margin. \nWe will also have the opportunity to hunt for fossils\, including trilobites\, within the Horn Valley Siltstone. \nFieldtrip Leader: Peter Haines. \nContributors: Fiona Burns\, Simon Lang\, Charlie Verdel. \n \nProposed Itinerary: \nDay 1: Fly to Alice Springs. Core Store (0.5 day): Tent Hill-1 Pacoota & Stairway Sst. cores by Fiona Burns. \nDay 2: Ellery Creek\, Pacoota Sst. section (Shallow marine/deltaic) by P. Haines. \nDay 3: Ellery Creek section (revisited) & other outcrops (stromatolites\, Dalmatian Rock) (by P. Haines and Charlie Verdel. \nDay 4: Meernie Field core (0.5 day) by S Lang. Fly to Perth. \nAnticipated approximate costs: \n\n$1000.00 per person (includes accommodation\, transport to field areas\, breakfast\, lunch and field guide).\nCosts without accommodation and breakfast are anticipated to be approximately $300.00 per person.\n\nPlease note that flights are not included in the above.
