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:
