We are delighted to welcome two renowned core analysis experts.

Professor Simon Lang – UWA

This year’s theme is Ancient shoreline plays of the Cooper-Eromanga.

Workshop participants will gain an understanding of a key range of shoreline systems and types from the Cooper-Eromanga cores focussing on depositional process, facies associations, architectural interpretation, appropriate partial analogues, and implications for field development.

Intervals from the Epsilon, Murta and Coorikiana formations will be the focus of the workshop.

The workshop will finish around 4.00pm with an optional stop at the Mantra Tonsley for post workshop networking drinks (own expense).
