PESA QLD: Lunch, 11 July : Analogues for subsurface characterization for the Energy Transition – Prof. Simon Lang

Due to popular demand, this event has moved to a larger room and now more tickets are available!

This month PESA Queensland welcomes one of the recent Australian Geoscience Council National Geoscience Champions, Professor Simon Lang to present a technical luncheon on how having robust models of depositional systems will be as important as ever through the energy transition, or as Simon says…Geology matters!

The Technical Lunch will be held at the Brisbane Hilton Hotel, in Room 83 (Level 8).

For detailed directions, see explanation below.

Please note the Early Bird ticket pricing cut-off times described below.

Presentation Abstract:

The energy transition over the next few decades will provide challenges to all geoscientists who will need to extend the skills and lessons learned from fossil fuel exploration, development and production to carbon sequestration and utilization (CCUS), conventional and H2 gas storage, sediment-hosted copper, uranium and lithium exploration, and related hydrological and geotechnical issues.

Typically high quality and abundant data is mostly available where existing fields occur (seismic, wells, dynamic data), but data will be sparser where we need to undertake new geological studies to support the energy transition. To infill the scale-gap between seismic and wells, all the way down to core and pore-level, we need to deploy appropriate analogues for the tectonic, climatic and accommodation/sediment supply regimes.

This presentation will focus on depositional systems and their subsurface reservoirs/seals/baffles, and how analogues from seismic, well data, producing fields, outcrops and modern depositional systems can help constrain the uncertainties involved with subsurface geo-modelling, that will still be needed to develop the new energy resources needed for the energy transition.

Tickets for the Technical Luncheon can be purchased below.

Please be advised of the early bird cut-off date.

Early bird pricing will remain available up until Tuesday, 2 July 11:30 PM  after which, standard pricing will come into effect.

Standard ticket pricing will be available until Monday, 8 July 12:00 PM – To avoid disappointment please register before this time.

In recognition of Professor Lang’s recent award of the AGC National Geoscience award, PESA is pleased to announce that for this lunch, all members of AGC Member Organisations (MOs) will be eligible for member ticket prices.

Late ticket sales up to Wednesday, 10 July 12:00PM will be available at $95 for all tickets – subject to availability. Please note dietary requirements can not be guaranteed for late tickets.
