SUMMARY:PESA WA August Technical Lunch:  Flexible Solutions for both CCS Measurement\, Monitoring\, and Verification (MMV) and Offshore Windfarm Developments
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB \n  \n \nGold Sponsors Katalyst Data Management\, Applied Geoscience\, Delft Inversion\, DUG and IKON Science \n                \n                                                \n \nand Silver Sponsor Qeye \n \n  \nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 17th August\nFlexible Solutions for both CCS Measurement\, Monitoring\, and Verification (MMV) and Offshore Windfarm Developments \nPresented by Andrew Long (PGS) \nMeasurement\, Monitoring\, and Verification (MMV) are essential to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects\, ensuring their effectiveness\, safety\, and regulatory compliance. Precise CO2 emission measurements\, ongoing project performance monitoring\, and independent data verification provide stakeholder confidence in the CCS system’s greenhouse gas reduction\, safe operation\, and prompt issue resolution. \nLikewise\, developing ground models for offshore wind turbine placement demands a comprehensive approach that addresses various geotechnical\, geophysical\, regulatory\, and stakeholder aspects. \nA common element should be that any ‘baseline’ geophysical platform is built to best practice standards for both CCS and Wind projects. For CCS\, accurate subsurface characterization ensures reliable site candidate selection and ranking\, facilitating the deployment of appropriate monitoring technologies post-CO2 injection in a cost-effective manner. Similarly\, high-resolution 3D geophysical data for Wind projects enable the development of an accurate 3D ground model for integrating subsequent geotechnical and geophysical measurements\, reducing the need for costly new surveys when adjusting turbine foundation locations. \nThis talk comprises four stages: \n\nI present AI\, machine learning\, and automation solutions to enhance the petrophysical and geological understanding of near-surface and overburden areas crucial for both CCS containment and Wind projects.\nI outline an efficient workflow for CCS site screening\, focusing on Container and Containment elements.\nI briefly discuss methods for acquiring high-resolution (HR) and ultra-high-resolution (UHR) seismic data cost-effectively\, including suggestions for congested infrastructure areas where traditional seismic surveys are logistically challenging.\nI describe subsurface characterization (both CCS and Wind) and monitoring solutions (for CCS) that leverage innovations from stages 1 and 3.\n\n\nEvent Sponsors: \n \nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $69.00 \nConcession Member [Retired\, Graduate or Hardship] (Early Bird): $59.00 \nStudent Member (Early Bird): $39.00 \nNon-Member: $99.00 \nMember (Non-Early Bird): $79.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST). All ticket sales close at 5pm Tuesday (2 days prior). \n

Bookings are now OPEN!! \nThis five-day classroom course consists of lectures\, seismic interpretation exercises and case histories. The course presents modern concepts of structural geology focused on fault and fold systems that form hydrocarbon traps in sedimentary basins. Emphasis is placed on the integration of data in order to determine the 4D evolution of structures\, their seismic expressions as well as utilising case histories and natural examples that can be analogues for sub-surface hydrocarbon traps. \nThe lectures are extensively illustrated with field examples\, remote sensing examples\, seismic sections\, conceptual models and in particular analogue models of fault systems – many models are shown as movies that demonstrate the progressive evolution of fault and fold systems. Practical exercises and examples are excellent seismic examples of structural styles in a large format A3 workbook. \nKey Themes of the training are given below\, and more details are in the attached Programme: \n1. Fault systems in sedimentary basins – Tectonic regimes; fault mechanics; fault geometries; fault growth & segmentation patterns\n2. Extensional fault systems – Planar extensional faults – 2D & 3D geometries; rift systems & passive margins; folding associated with extension\nListric & ramp-flat listric extensional faults; delta tectonics – hydrocarbon systems\n3. Inversion tectonics – Positive inversion systems; inverted rift basins & thick-skinned fault systems\, hydrocarbon systems in inverted terranes\n4. Strike-slip terranes – Tectonic settings of strike-slip systems; oblique convergence; transform faults; characteristic styles of strike-slip structures\n5. Thrust fault systems – Thrust fault & fold geometries; key structural styles; 2D & 3D modelling of thrust fault systems; thrust-fault-related fold systems; foreland fold & thrust belts; deepwater fold & thrust faults – delta systems and accretionary prisms. \n  \nRegular prices of: \n\nPESA Member:   $5500\nNon-Member:    $6000\nStudent:               $75\n\n  \nFor this event we will only be selling: \n\nPESA Member: 10 tickets\nNon Member: 6 tickets\nStudent: 4 tickets\n\n*A couple ticket spaces are still available!* If the tickets below are listed as ‘sold out’\, please contact us to arrange a spot for you. \nTicket sales close Sun 13th Aug @6pm

SUMMARY:2023 PESA WEBINAR SERIES: Machine Learning and Intelligent Augmentation Applied to Legacy Subsurface Data
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 \n  \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. \nMachine Learning and Intelligent Augmentation Applied to Legacy Subsurface Data \nPresented by Jess Kozman (Katalyst Data Management) \nAbstract \n\nRecent emphasis on low carbon energy projects in Australia  means large volumes of unstructured subsurface data become valuable to operators. . The need to  evaluate reservoirs for energy or carbon storage or light gas extraction means a requirement to de-risk geographic search and  make machine-readable text available for advanced data science algorithms. Companies with access to data gain a competitive advantage in licensing activities. Exisiting data management workflows may be too costly and resource intensive to support these emerging requirements. \nWe highlight how a  workflow using Machine Learning (ML) and Intelligence Augmentation (IA) can improve the efficiency of a typical data management workflow. Our example involves manually identifying relevant well logs in images from collection of tens of thousands of file types\, a typical task for an operator using open-file data in Australia. The current process may involve downloading from multiple state and federal repositories and manually entering indexing metadata into internal data repositories. \nWe have developed internal ML/AI data extraction workflows that that streamline automatically separating well log image files\, extracting mandatory indexing meta-data\, and presenting model-trained choices to end-users for adjustment and verification. The full solution involves image classification\, enhanced Optical Character Recognition(OCR)\, Natural Language Processing (NLP) for keyword labels and values\, and a User Interface (UI) that delivers and documents increased data quality and confidence metrics.

SUMMARY:PESA SA/NT August Technical Luncheon  "Critical Minerals in SA – The road to net zero"
DESCRIPTION:Critical Minerals in SA – The road to net zero\nPresented by: Bronwyn A Camac (Geological Survey of South Australia)\n\n  \nAbstract \n\nFor about 150 years\, the use of petroleum products has driven world economies and is the greatest influence on quality-of-life improvement.\nBefore then\, we burned whatever we could find\, to keep us warm\, to fuel our emerging technologies\, and to cook our food. But most of these fuels could not keep up with population growth. Our forests were being pillaged\, our health declined due to coal pollution and our oceans stripped of whales.\nOur societies turned to the emerging new fuel – oil and its cleaner partner\, natural gas. We found its value more than just a fuel – we could make things from it – plastic\, clothes\, medicines\, fertilisers\, cosmetics\, and the list goes on and on. So\, dependent upon these products\, it becomes difficult to imagine that we can ever do without them.\nBut that time has come\, just as with wood\, coal and whales\, the market has outgrown us\, demanding cleaner fuels and products which has no effect on the earth and its climate.\nThis single most disruptive event of the last 150 years is being addressed in all countries to drive our economies toward net-zero carbon emission. To support net-zero targets\, the market is moving towards new technologies\, such as electric vehicles\, renewable technologies\, space technology\, telecommunication and defence. All of these technologies need critical minerals.\nThis is space where the mineral resource industry and the energy resource industry collide!\nCritical minerals are described by Geoscience Australia as “minerals that are essential to our modern technologies\, economies and national security\, and whose supply chains are vulnerable to disruption.”\nSouth Australia is well-endowed with many of the minerals and metals projected to be in short supply as this energy transition progresses. SA is rich in copper and currently holds 69% of Australia’s copper resource. It is a major producer of mineral sands\, with their associated rare earth elements and is rich in graphite. A state-wide study is currently underway to uncover SA’s full resource potential\, putting us at the forefront of the world’s energy transformation. \n\n\nEvent Details:\nThursday\,  August 24th\, 2023\nLuncheon: 12 pm for a 12:30 pm start \nPlace: Ayer’s House\, 288 North Tce\, Adelaide \nIncludes a 2-course lunch and drinks \nBookings close 1 pm Monday\, 21st August\nAny late bookings will incur an additional $20 fee. Strictly no walk-ins.

SUMMARY:PESA QLD: Online Course - Introduction to Python for Geoscience - 2023 - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Python for Geoscience 2023\nPLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR FUTURE COURSES\, OR IN THE EVENT OF A WITHDRAWAL FROM THIS COURSE\, PLEASE SELECT A ‘WAITLIST’ TICKET BELOW. \nCourse Synopsis\nTake your geoscience data analysis to the next level with SIH’s Python for Geoscience course. Leverage the modelling and workflow capabilities of Python to wrangle terabytes of geoscience data. We will introduce Python foundations integrating geospatial and temporal raster and vector data. We will carry out exploratory\, machine and deep learning analyses on these datasets\, and demonstrate workflows to go from your local computer to high performance\, cloud\, and GPU computing. At the end of the course\, participants will be able to adapt workflows and apply these to their own datasets and generate reports. \nCourse Pre-requisites\nNo previous programming experience is required\, but Session 1 is a pre-requisite for the other sessions. Training will be delivered online\, so you will need access to a modern computer with a stable internet connection. Participants are encouraged to setup a Python environment on their local computer (instructions to be provided)\, but participation using Google Colab will also be supported (Google account required). \n  \n\n\n\nPresentation:\nIntroduction to Python for Geoscience 2023\n\n\nVenue:\nParticipants will be provided with a Zoom\nlink.
