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. \nFull 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 NSW July 2026 Technical Lunch: Dr Peter Moore
DESCRIPTION:Petroleum Geoscience and the Energy Transition: A Personal Historical Perspective and Predictions for the Future \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.

SUMMARY:PESA NSW August 2026 Technical Lunch: Gerard Ryan
DESCRIPTION:D3 Energy is a natural gas and helium developer listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 13 May 2024. \nIts cornerstone asset is Exploration Right ER315 in South Africa’s Free State Province\, a major onshore permit covering approximately 811 km²\, and situated immediately east of Renergen Limited’s producing Virginia Gas Project. \nInitial drilling across ER315 has delivered world-class helium concentrations exceeding 5%\, confirming the Company’s geological model and establishing the region as a globally significant helium province. \nThis exploration success has since been reinforced by substantial regulatory and technical progress. The Company has completed a maiden reserve certification over part of ER315\, defining 1P reserves of 7.21 BCF and supporting its Production Right Application\, which has now been formally accepted by South Africa’s Petroleum Agency (PASA). \nIn addition to ER315\, D3 holds multiple permits in South Africa\, including ER386\, TCP 273\, ER391\, ER392 and ER393 bringing its total landholding in the region to just under 2000 km². These assets are defined by their low-cost nature and high prospectivity\, making exploration and development economically competitive. \nIn June 2025\, D3 Energy expanded into Australia\, securing PEL 121 and PEL 122 in the Arckaringa Basin\, South Australia. These permits\, covering ~5\,865 km²\, mark a strategic entry into a frontier basin with growing interest in helium and clean hydrogen exploration. Since acquisition\, the Company has also commenced farm-out discussions for the Hydrohelix prospect to support future drilling activity. \nD3 Energy now operates in two geographies\, South Africa and Australia\, with a dual-hemisphere portfolio targeting critical energy and industrial gases. \nIn South Africa\, the Company’s work is vital in a region facing severe energy shortages. Its focus on identifying and developing natural gas reserves supports the country’s transition toward a more reliable and sustainable energy future.

SUMMARY:PESA NSW September 2026 Technical Lunch: Bass Oil
DESCRIPTION:Bass Oil Kiwi-1 Triassic Gas Discovery \nAt the September meeting I will give an overview of Bass Oil\, its operations and its growth strategies. Importantly\, I will be focusing on presenting some of the initial results from the Company’s Triassic gas study in the northern Cooper Basin in South Australia following up the Kiwi gas discovery in the Triassic aged Callamurra formation. The liquids rich Kiwi gas field continues to be one of Bass’s most exciting assets. \nKiwi Gas Project \nKiwi 1 was drilled in 2003 as a Jurassic oil exploration well. It was not successful however is discovered gas in the Triassic Callamurra section. Although the well tested almost 9 million cubic feet per day on a short DST\, the discovery was never completed and properly tested. Back then it was thought to be too small with a high CO2 content. \nBass acquired the property in 2022 and completed and flow tested in 2024. Following the successful 2024 flow test\, which recorded 4.1 mmcfd of gas and 988 barrels of condensate per day\, Bass has progressed the project toward development. \nIn February 2026\, the South Australian Government awarded Bass $3.5 million in funding to support connection of Kiwi to the Cooper Basin gas network. Bass has advanced technical work on Kiwi\, including interpretation of the reprocessed Kiwi 3D seismic dataset. The results have been encouraging and continue to support the quality of the discovery and surrounding prospectivity. \nThe Kiwi hydrocarbons are extremely liquids rich and low in impurities\, with less than 5% CO₂ and over 200 barrels of condensate per million cubic feet of gas\, as previously disclosed. These characteristics make Kiwi one of the most attractive undeveloped gas discoveries in the Basin. Kiwi’s liquids yield positions it as a high value development opportunity in a market where condensate-rich gas is increasingly sought after.
