SUMMARY:PESA WA - Seismic Geomorphology and Seismic Stratigraphy: Fundamentals and Workflows
DESCRIPTION:Supported by Santos Ltd.\nPESA WA – Seismic Geomorphology and Seismic Stratigraphy: Fundamentals and Workflows\nLed by Henry W. Posamentier PhD (Consultant)\nCourse commences at 0900-0930am Thursday: Arrivals\, registration\, tea & coffee. \nObjectives \nThis course is designed to enhance interpretation skill sets with regard to geologic interpretation of seismic data. The overall objective is to present seismic interpretation methods/workflows focused on seismic stratigraphy integrated with seismic geomorphology\, aimed at reducing risk with regard to prediction of lithology\, reservoir compartmentalization\, and stratigraphic trapping potential in exploration and production. Specifically\, the participant will be shown: \n\nworkflows designed to facilitate extraction of stratigraphic insights from 3D seismic data\ntechniques for 3D seismic geomorphologic/stratigraphic analyses\nnumerous examples of various depositional systems in various depositional settings (i.e.\, fluvial\, marginal marine\, deep-water\, shallow-water carbonates)\nintegration of sequence stratigraphic concepts\ndiscussion\, with examples\, of pitfalls in interpretation\n\nContent\nThe application of seismic geomorphology and seismic stratigraphy to exploration and field development is a natural consequence of the advent of high-quality and increasingly more affordable and widespread 3D seismic data currently available. Integrating analyses of plan view (geomorphologic) and section view (stratigraphic) images can significantly enhance predictions of the spatial and temporal distribution of subsurface lithology (reservoir\, source\, and seal)\, compartmentalization\, and stratigraphic trapping capabilities\, as well as enhanced understanding of process sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy. \nParticipants in the course will be exposed to seismic geomorphologic/stratigraphic workflows\, which involve 1) initial reconnaissance through 3D volumes with various slicing techniques using a variety of different seismic attribute volumes including full stack reflection amplitudes\, near and far stacked amplitude volumes\, and coherence volumes\, as well as opacity rendering\, 2) focus on features of geologic interest and further investigate through a combination of detailed slicing\, interval attributes\, horizon picking and amplitude extraction\, horizon illumination\, etc.\, and 3) comprehensive integration of seismic geomorphologic analyses with seismic stratigraphic analyses\, whereby the plan view is integrated with the section view to ensure a consistent interpretation. 4) integration and application of sequence stratigraphic concepts to facilitate data interpretation. \nCourse lectures will involve both PowerPoint presentations as well as interactive demonstrations of the interpretation of 3D seismic data. A wide variety of depositional settings will be shown\, ranging from non-marine to marginal marine\, shelf and deep water\, and will include both clastic as well as carbonate depositional environments. Concepts as well as applications pertaining to seismic-based analyses of depositional systems will be covered in detail. \n  \nPrices: \nMembers:                     $660 \nStudents:                       $200 \nNon-Members:             $1000 \nThis course will be held at the Pan Pacific hotel (207 Adelaide Terrace\, Perth).  Morning tea\, lunch and afternoon tea will be provided as part of the course cost. \n  \n

SUMMARY:PESA WA October Technical Lunch: Fault timing and depocentre development in the northern Perth Basin
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science: \n \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft\, Qeye and Task Fronterra Geoscience: \n                       \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 16th October.\nFault timing and depocentre development in the northern Perth Basin\nPresented by Chris Watts (School of Earth and Planetary Sciences\, Curtin University)\n\nDespite extended periods of exploration in the Perth Basin spanning decades\, the timing of fault activity\, and shifts in depocentre development remain unclear\, especially for intra-basinal faults. Multiple phases of rifting with variable extension directions during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic resulted in a series of predominantly NNW–SSE trending graben and half-graben extending from the Southern Carnarvon Basin in the north\, through the Perth Basin in the south. Two regions of greater structural complexity are indicated by gravity and magnetic data along the margin\, one of which occurs within the northern Perth Basin and the other between sub-basins of the Southern Carnarvon Basin. Recently acquired seismic surveys that better image the pre-Mesozoic stratigraphy in the northern Perth Basin\, paired with legacy seismic and well data have allowed the investigation of fault timing and show a progressive southward shift in fault activity and depocentre location from the late Carboniferous through to the Early Cretaceous\, and that some faults\, despite having different similar orientations\, initiate at different times. Of particular importance is a change in extension direction in the late Triassic and early Jurassic that allowed the development of E-W trending faults. \nTicket Prices:\nMember (Early Bird): $69.00 \nConcession Member [Retired or Hardship]: $59.00 \nStudent Member: $10.00 \nGraduate Member: $20.00 \nNon-Member: $99.00 \nMember (Non-Early Bird): $79.00 \nEarly bird\, Concession\, Student and Graduate Member pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST).

SUMMARY:PESA WA - The Mungaroo - Brigadier Depositional System\, Northwest Shelf Australia: A Fluvial-Deltaic Reservoir Core Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Supported by Santos Ltd.\nPESA WA \n3rd October 2025\, 9:00 – 1600 Carlisle Core Library\nThe Mungaroo – Brigadier Depositional System\, Northwest Shelf Australia: A Fluvial-Deltaic Reservoir Core Workshop\nThe Late Triassic Mungaroo and Brigadier Formations in the offshore Northern Carnarvon Basin\, NWS\, Australia\, are the deposits of enormous very low-gradient rivers that fed an intracratonic basin. In such a very low gradient setting\, the rivers expand across a broad distributive deltaic plain\, as sediments spill out of channels into vast interdistributary bays. River distributaries reaching the coast deposit thin\, asymmetrical wave-reworked delta sands. Avulsion of rivers laterally over hundreds of kilometres shifts the locus of deposition\, allowing weak waves and tides time to rework sediments at bay mouths into shoreface sands with tidal inlets. Sea level variations can cause shorelines to shift long distances across these low-gradient alluvial-deltaic plains. \nStandard facies models for fluvial-deltaic systems\, which generally focus on higher gradient settings\, do not provide a suitable template for predicting subsurface facies variations within the Mungaroo and Brigadier deposits. In higher gradient settings\, a river crosses thin delta top deposits to feed a thick\, basinward-thickening deltaic wedge\, with the bulk of river-sourced sediments spread down steep deltaic clinoforms offshore. In very low-gradient settings\, a river loses the competency to carry its sediment load to the coast\, and the bulk of the sediment is extracted on the deltaic plains. Deposits in the expanding network of channels\, on floodplain splays and brackish bay deltas\, and within thin shoreline successions define a unique facies mosaic. \nIn this workshop\, participants can observe the low-gradient fluvial-deltaic facies of the Mungaroo and Brigadier systems in core from the Northwest Shelf of Australia. Brief presentations will introduce conceptual models\, set the stage\, and provide a seismic-scale view of this system. Deposits of the major river in more proximal areas of the system are studied in core from Clio and Saty fields. Lower delta plain and river-dominated bay delta deposits are examined in core from Chandon field. Wave-reworked shoreline deposits will be visible in core from Wheatstone field. Together\, these cores provide a sampling of the facies mosaic deposited by these low-gradient systems. By the end of the workshop\, participants will have gained a better understanding of facies models for low-gradient fluvial-deltaic systems. Mungaroo and Brigadier deposits host world-class hydrocarbon reserves\, which require advanced facies predictions to support subsurface modelling and development predictions. Low-gradient fluvial-deltaic facies are essential components of most shallow marine clastic wedges\, particularly during the early highstand when deltaic systems prograde on top of transgressive shelf deposits. The workshop offers participants a broader perspective on fluvial-deltaic facies models\, extending beyond the standard textbook examples. \n  \nSchedule \n9:00 ─ Safety & Introductions \n9:20 ─ Topic #1: Fluvial deposit architecture defined by process models and concepts (Willis: 20 min) \n9:40 ─ Topic #2: Mungaroo-Brigadier System (Lang: 20 min) \n10:00 ─ Topic #3: Mungaroo fluvial hierarchy and down-basin variations (Payenberg: 20 min) \n10:30 ─ Tea break \n10:45 ─ Start Core #1: Mungaroo fluvial (Clio 2 and Satyr 3) \n11:45 ─ Discussion (core review) \n12:00 ─ Lunch \n12:45 ─ Short topic #1 (20 min plus Q&A) High- vs low-slope systems & asymmetric deltas \n13:10 ─ Start core #2: Chandon 2 (Mungaroo lower delta plain and delta front) \n14:00 ─ 14:15 ─ Tea break \n14:30 ─ Start core #3: Wheatstone 2 BCH1ST1 (Brigadier asymmetric wave-influenced delta) \n15:30 ─ Wrap-up discussion \n15:45 ─ Finish \n16:00 ─ Core store closes \nOrganisers: Dr. Brian Willis (Consultant) Dr. Tobi Payenberg (Chevron) & Prof. Simon Lang (UWA) \nHard limit of 30 attendees.  \n  \nCost:  \nPESA Members:  $250 \nPESA Student Members $100 \n  \nThis event is for PESA WA members only.

SUMMARY:PESA WA October Technical Evening:  Three-Dimensional Architecture of Wave-Dominated Delta Deposits
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science: \n \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft\, Qeye\, Totum Compliance\, Core Laboratories and Task Fronterra Geoscience: \n                       \n       \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical evening on Thursday 2nd October.\nSupported by Santos Ltd.\nThree-Dimensional Architecture of Wave-Dominated Delta Deposits\nPresented by Brian J. Willis (Willis Geoscience)\n\nNew numerical wave-influenced delta depositional models are challenging long-held rational for interpreting sea level variations recorded by wave-dominated shallow-marine successions. Shallow-marine\, wave-dominated deposits (parasequences) are generally inferred to exhibit a decrease in wave energy and grain size with increasing water depth and to occur in facies belts that are laterally continuous for long distances along strike. Bedding geometry and vertical facies successions within these parasequences are interpreted in relation to a prograding equilibrium shoreface profile (cf. Bruun rule) and a gradual upward-coarsening facies progression (cf. Walther’s law). Sea-level fall is commonly inferred to generate a sharp-based shoreface succession\, characterized by an abrupt vertical transition from heterolithic lower shoreface to sandy upper shoreface deposits across a marine erosion surface. A truncated vertical shoreface succession\, capped by a marine erosion surface\, is inferred to record significant wave ravinement during sea level rise and transgression. \nThree-dimensional\, process-physics-based\, coupled hydrodynamic-morphodynamic wave-influenced delta models suggest that wave-dominated deltas will develop a sandy shoreface inner clinoform dipping from the subaerial delta plain to a relatively flat wave-scoured subaqueous delta top\, which is laterally separated from a muddier delta front outer clinoform that dips from the subaqueous delta top edge to the shelf floor. As these systems prograde\, deposits of these dual-clinoforms will become vertically stacked and will be separated by a regressive surface of marine erosion formed on the subaqueous delta top. Grain-size contrasts between these vertically stacked clinoform deposits reflect differences in sediment-transport directions and sorting under river- and wave-driven littoral currents along the coast\, and cannot be uniquely related to sea-level changes. Gradual vertical facies successions develop where waves are less effective at reworking river-supplied sediment alongshore. In contrast\, sharp-based shoreface deposits record more effective wave separation of sands onto the shoreface clinoform as muds are preferentially transported offshore onto the subaqueous delta clinoform. \nThe continuity of a regressive surface of marine erosion over many tens to hundreds of kilometres across mid-shelf regions of some stratigraphic sequences reflects a gradual lateral shift in the position of littoral current erosion on a subaqueous delta top. Timelines cross such vertical lithic discontinuities throughout the extent of a prograding deposit\, and the regressive surface of marine erosion thus has little chronostratigraphic significance. The model results are used to suggest: 1) Characteristic strongly asymmetric wave-dominated parasequences suggest common river avulsion at the start of transgression\, 2) Observed down-dip transitions from “gradual-based” to “sharp-based” shoreface deposits might record reduced sediment supply to the coast relative to rates of longshore drift as the system expands toward its auto-retreat limit\, rather than transitions from normal to forced regression\, and 3) Regional “top-truncated” shoreface successions might record progradation of dual-clinoform shorelines with wide deviation in net direction of regional sediment supply and shallow-water wave transport\, rather than significant regional transgressive ravinement. The results of these models suggest caution in inferring sea-level changes from the character of vertical facies changes observed in individual well logs and isolated outcrop exposures. The models suggest new facies relationships that require testing in modern systems\, outcrops\, and subsurface examples. \nTicket Prices:\nMember: $25.00 \nStudent Member: $10.00 \nNon-Member: $50.00 \nStudent Member pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST). \n

SUMMARY:PESA WA August Technical Evening: Two Talks - Back water effects on Fluvial reservoirs and Neoichnology of the De Grey ephemeral river delta
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science: \n \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft\, Qeye\, Totum Compliance\, Core Laboratories and Task Fronterra Geoscience: \n                       \n       \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical evening on Thursday 14th August.\nQuantifying the backwater effect on Fluvial reservoirs\nPresented by John Holbrook (Dept. of Geological Sciences\, Texas Christian University)\n\nThe backwater effect is an emerging tool for predicting reservoir volumes and heterogenicity in fluvial systems.  It scales channel-belt width\, tidal impact\, and bar development to the channel size and the distance from the coast\, two measurable parameters.  The backwater effect (i.e. adjustments in open-channel flow as a response to proximity of standing water) is used to predict down-dip changes in morphodynamics and consequent sediment distribution on fluvial systems. However\, there is currently no standardized method to obtain input parameters to estimate backwater length\, nor where to measure these variables\, for both modern and ancient settings. This study reviews existing methods for estimating backwater lengths in both settings and proposes workflows to minimize ambiguity in the results. The proposed workflows are prioritized based on practicality\, accuracy\, and smallest uncertainty ranges and allow different data types as input parameters. For the first time\, applying multiple methods to obtain backwater length estimates is tested\, both on a modern and ancient river system. In the modern case study\, the riverbed intersection with sea level matches previously documented major changes in sedimentary trends. However\, backwater lengths based on h/S (h = bankfull thalweg channel depth\, S = slope) plot downstream of this zone which is characterized by major changes\, when input parameters are derived from discharge and grain size. Therefore\, we recommend obtaining bankfull thalweg channel depth from a cross-sectional profile if backwater length is estimated based on h/S. In the ancient case study\, bankfull thalweg channel depth derived from fully preserved single-story channel fill and slope based on Shields’ empirical relation with grain size\, match changes in fluvial architectural style interpreted as a result of backwater effects. This review is a critical step forward in discussing and acknowledging the uncertainties and ambiguity in obtaining the necessary input parameters to estimate and compare modern and stratigraphic backwater lengths. The proposed workflows facilitate comparability and applicability of future backwater length estimates and subsequent interpretations of the hydrodynamic environment and resulting stratigraphic record. Potential scaling relationships between the backwater length\, sedimentary trends\, and avulsion nodes make this of key importance as the latter two also play a crucial role in devastating floods when rivers change course. \nNeoichnology of the De Grey Ephemeral River Delta\, Northwest Coast\, WA: Proxies for Environments\, Physicochemical Conditions\, and Climate in Deep Time\nPresented by Steve Hasiotis (Dept. of Geology\, The University of Kansas)\nThe neoichnology of the alluvial plain\, delta plain\, and proximal delta front settings of the dryland\, ephemeral De Grey River and its wave-dominated delta clearly show diagnostic patterns of plant and animal traces (and diversity)\, lithofacies\, soils\, groundwater profiles\, and salinities controlled by the climatic setting. The climate is hot arid (Köppen BWh)\, with annual rainfall falling between December and June of 311.5 mm (avg) but is subject to large variations because of erratic cyclones. The river typically flows only after seasonal rainfall events generated by tropical\, monsoonal cyclones or winter storms. These highly variable events are also associated with significant storm-wave reworking of the proximal delta front and lower delta plain. This research is timely because Cyclone Zelia\, strengthening to category 5 but making landfall as a category 4 at De Grey\, will provide a glimpse into how a dryland river–delta system and its physicochemical characters are impacted by major storms. \nPrior to Zelia\, alluvial plain channels are mostly devoid of water and water holes have fresh (<0.5 ppt) to lower oligohaline (< 2 ppt) salinities; mole cricket traces are abundant along the margins of these waterbodies\, with some vegetation along the margins and at various positions in the channels proper. The alluvial plain itself contains plant roots\, termite and ant nests\, goanna and smaller reptile and mammal burrows. The delta plain contains traces produced by terrestrial and marine fauna; plants and terrestrial fauna dominate overbank deposits\, whereas marine invertebrate and vertebrate fauna dominate the distributary channels\, varying from upper oligohaline (4–5 ppt) to hypersaline (50 ppt) in salinity. Supratidal areas contain mangroves and are dominated by a variety of crab\, polychaete\, and other vermiform animal burrow\, which increase in diversity to the intertidal areas and have the highest salinities. Intertidal settings are dominated by tidal processes and bedforms with a variety of crab\, clam\, gastropod\, polychaete\, and vermiform animal burrows in hypersaline conditions. \nThis research is important because trace fossils and paleosols of ancient fluvial–deltaic deposits can help distinguish between these systems deposited under drylands (ephemeral) vs. seasonal (intermittent) vs tropical (perennial) climate settings based on modern analogs. For example. most often the trace fossil-lithofacies-pedofacies associations preserved in core are very useful to improve interpretations of the degree of lateral and vertical continuity of paleoenvironments – continental vs transitional vs marine – that are used to interpret reservoir geometry and continuity. \nTicket Prices:\nMember: $35.00 \nConcession Member [Retired or Hardship]: $30.00 \nGraduate Member: $20.00 \nStudent Member: $10.00 \nNon-Member: $50.00 \nConcession\, Student and Graduate Member pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST). \n

SUMMARY:PESA WA June Technical Lunch: The Renaissance Tour: A revival of frontier basins with data-driven exploration
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science: \n \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft\, Qeye and Task Fronterra Geoscience: \n                       \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 19th June.\nThe Renaissance Tour: A revival of frontier basins with data-driven exploration\nPresented by Lauren Found (Searcher)\n\nAs the energy exploration landscape shifts and evolves\, so too does the thinking around the basins we investigate. Advancing seismic technology in the last decade has allowed for a fresh perspective on frontier and previously discarded basins\, with the shifts in thinking yielding billions of barrels of results. \nIn this world tour of frontier basins\, crustal architecture\, source rock presence and reservoir fairways are explored with direct observations from modern\, long-offset seismic data. The deepwater Gulf of Papua had its crustal model challenged and reinterpreted thanks to long-offset 2D seismic acquisition\, allowing for the imaging of large-scale crustal structures. Beneath the salt of the Scotian Basin\, reservoir fairways are imaged in detail and de-risked thanks to Wide Azimuth Seismic Acquisition\, and further south to the conjugate Orange-Pelotas Basins\, high-resolution 3D and Ultrafar AVO analysis reveals a world-class source rock\, observable and mappable on both sides of the margin\, despite being proven only on one side to date. \nTicket Prices:\nMember (Early Bird): $69.00 \nConcession Member [Retired or Hardship]: $59.00 \nStudent Member: $10.00 \nGraduate Member: $20.00 \nNon-Member: $99.00 \nMember (Non-Early Bird): $79.00 \nEarly bird\, Concession\, Student and Graduate Member pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST). All ticket sales close at 5pm Tuesday (2 days prior). \n

SUMMARY:PESA WA and CCUSNA - Perth Basin from a CCS Perspective Core Workshop
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA and CCUSNA\n10th of June \, 9:00 – 1600 Carlisle Core Library\nPerth Basin from a CCS Perspective\nSpend a day at the Perth Core Library considering how our collection of cores help us to understand CCS targets in the Perth Basin. We will delve into the importance of characterising seals\, the influence of reservoir heterogeneity vs homogeneity and how diagenesis impacts pore geometry. \nThe Cattamarra Coal Measures ranks highly as a saline aquifer CCS reservoir target as it has excellent net-to-gross and reservoir quality over thick intervals. The fluvio-deltaic depositional environment of this unit provides for significant heterogeneity to promote lateral migration of the injected plume. Diagenesis impacts reservoir quality as a function of depth of burial and reservoir temperature. These impacts will be demonstrated with a suite of cores from various structural settings in the basin. \nThe Dongara Sandstone has attracted attention as a potential CCS reservoir target in depleted fields. Due to the homogeneous nature of the shoreface facies\, this may be the best interval to study the impact of hydrocarbon charge on diagenesis and porosity preservation. \nCores of sealing lithologies are rare but provide important constraints when characterising a CCS storage formation. A suite of cores from the Kockatea Shale and Hovea Member will be investigated to understand variations in facies and the impact of diagenesis on geomechanical properties. \nThe workshop will be led by Julie Cass and Arthur Mory (GSWA) with assistance from Simon Molyneux (Molyneux Advisors) and Jeremy Prosser (Task Fronterra). Simon will show how cuttings can be utilised to investigate these same reservoir quality controls and Jeremy will illustrate how image log data compliments analyses of core and cuttings. \nOrganiser: Julie Cass and Arthur Mory (GSWA) with assistance from Simon Molyneux (Molyneux Advisors) and Jeremy Prosser (Task Fronterra) \nHard limit of 30 attendees.  \nCost:  \nPESA Members:  $30 \nCCUSNA Members: $30 \nThis event is for PESA WA and CCUSNA members only. This is for insurance purposes. Please do not book on behalf of non-members. Please do not attend if you do not have a ticket. \nIf there are any questions\, please don’t hesitate to contact:  wa-secretary@pesa.com.au

SUMMARY:Joint PESA - SPE WA Evening Event May 2025:  CCS projects and insights from across Australia
DESCRIPTION:PESA – SPE WA invites you to Joint Evening Event.\n\nCCS projects and insights from across Australia: Thursday 15th May 2025\n\nGorgon Carbon Capture and Storage – Insights and Lessons Learned\nRobert Root (Chevron Australia) will provide an overview of Gorgon CCS including performance to date\, system optimization\, and key lessons for other CCS projects. The Gorgon Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) plant is supplied by gas from two foundation fields: Jansz which has low reservoir CO2\, and Gorgon which is relatively high in reservoir CO2 (~14%). The design of Gorgon Project included systems to extract CO2 from the reservoir gas stream feeding the LNG plant and inject it into the Dupuy Formation below Barrow Island (BWI) for permanent storage. Since 2019 CO2 has been injected into the Dupuy at globally significant rates with over 10 million tonnes injected\, however the system has been limited by the capacity to manage reservoir pressure through producing water from the Dupuy Formation and injection into the overlying Barrow Group. Activities are currently underway to increase pressure management capacity including side-tracking and re-completing existing wells\, drilling additional wells\, and installation of surface filtration facilities. \nCO₂mpartmentalising Climate Change: Perth Basin’s Role\nJulia Cass (DEMIRS) will discuss reservoir quality controls in the Perth Basin that have been evaluated to rank carbon storage targets for a CO₂ Storage Atlas being prepared by the Geological Survey of Western Australia. The key attributes for the most prospective targets include thick intervals with high net-to-gross passing cut-off criteria of shale volume below 30% and porosity greater than 10% at depths suitable for supercritical CO₂ storage. Reservoir heterogeneity is preferred as it permits greater lateral plume migration by enhancing residual gas trapping thereby boosting storage efficiency. These attributes alongside seal effectiveness determine the most suitable storage intervals. \nThe Cattamarra Coal Measures emerged as the highest-ranked storage interval of the evaluated targets. It is characterised by thick\, high net-to-gross sections with coarse-grained channel sands providing excellent injection potential. Burial and temperature control diagenesis which naturally degrades porosity and permeability with depth ultimately defining the lower limit of intervals prospective for storage. A combination of temperature modelling\, petrophysical analysis and depth mapping has been utilized to delineate the Cattamarra Coal Measures reservoir target and assess the overlying regional seal of the Cadda Formation. \n\nGlobal CCUS overview: Pivotal progress and persistent challenges\nAnne Forbes (Wood Mackensie) will discuss the highs and lows in the CCUS space across 2024. The 48 Mtpa of sanctioned project capacity was much lower than expected\, although new project capacity announcements remained at a healthy rate. Asia Pacific led in licencing\, with 90% of new awards occurring in APAC. And in Australia\, Moomba CCS\, the world’s lowest cost CCS project to date\, commenced operation. \nLooking forward\, we expect a record number of FIDs\, industry first start-ups\, and the first commercial scale CO2 ship to set sail in 2025. But at a global level we expect the rate of licensing to slow as existing work commitments are actioned. \n\nTickets on sale shortly: \n\nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $40.00 \nNon-Member (Early Bird): $60.00 \nMember: $50.00 \nNon-Member: $70.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST).

SUMMARY:PESA WA April Technical Lunch: What you should know about borehole images but were afraid to ask…. Forty years of hard-won lessons
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science: \n \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft\, Qeye and Task Fronterra Geoscience: \n                       \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 17th April.\nWhat you should know about borehole images but were afraid to ask…..  Forty years of hard-won lessons\nPresented by Lawrence Bourke (Task Fronterra Geoscience)\n\nBorehole images (BHI) have been around commercially\, for around 40 years now.  The real breakthrough was led by SLB using micro-resistivity on wireline providing cm scale\, high resolution images capable of supporting detailed sedimentological and fracture characterisation to compliment structural analysis.  A whole new field of study\, complimentary to core and seismic data was born! \nIn the early 1990s two things began in earnest:  The development of LWD tools (which would take 20 years to catch up with wireline usability) and the widespread use of Oil Based muds which were a serious setback to BHI interpretability and application\, that would take nearly 20 years to resolve with electronics innovation. \nToday\, there is a bewildering array of image tools: micro resistivity\, sonic\, density\, induction\, capacitance\, electromagnetics\, passive nuclear etc.  All the acquisition companies have their “me too” LWD and wireline offerings\, and also rebrand from time to time!.  But they are not all the same\, in terms of resolution\, bedding definition\, accuracy and application.  But the sales engineers won’t really help you decide! \nFortunately\, we have done that hard work of comparison\, applicability\, and reliability.  Based on detailed commercial studies across the globe over the last 40 years\, the conclusions are presented in a clear and concise manner for the casual BHI user. \nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $69.00 \nConcession Member [Retired or Hardship]: $59.00 \nStudent Member: $10.00 \nGraduate Member: $20.00 \nNon-Member: $99.00 \nMember (Non-Early Bird): $79.00 \nEarly bird\, Concession\, Student and Graduate Member pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST).

SUMMARY:PESA WA March 20th Evening Talk: Tight Gas Sand Reservoir Evaluation: Basin-Centred Gas Accumulation (BCGA) & Implications on Production & EUR
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA invites you to a technical Evening Event Thursday 20th March.\nTight Gas Sand Reservoir Evaluation:  Basin-Centred Gas Accumulation (BCGA) & Implications on Production & EUR \nPresented by Greg Salter (Core Laboratories) \nTight gas sand (TGS) reservoirs often offer significant resource potential\, however\, they can pose many challenges including pay identification\, the potential of formation damage\, water and/or condensate block\, as well as others.  Another challenge may be what is the true water saturation?  Is the water saturation controlled by capillary forces or is the reservoir a basin-centred gas accumulation (sub capillary-equilibrium) as published by a number of authors in the literature.  This presentation will investigate the identification and characterization of basin-centred gas accumulation reservoirs and the implication on production and EUR. \n  \nTimings for the event: \nDate: Thursday 20th March\, 2025 \nVenue (Updated): Faraday’s\, 261 St Georges Terrace\, Perth \nTime: 6pm – 8pm (Perth time) \n  \n\nPESA Members:                                $25.00 (PESA Members must Log on to the PESA website to purchase) \nNon-members:                                 $50.00 \nPESA Students Members:              Free (registration is essential)

SUMMARY:PESA WA February Technical Lunch: Natural Hydrogen in Western Australia
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science and DUG: \n                                              \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft and Qeye: \n              \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 20th February.\nNatural Hydrogen in Western Australia\nPresented by Leon Normore (Geological Survey of Western Australia)\n\nThe nascent field of natural hydrogen investigations is expanding rapidly worldwide. Recent studies in Australia have documented hydrogen in natural gas samples in both sedimentary basins and cratonic settings. Study of open file data at the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) focused on historical occurrences of hydrogen primarily within the onshore sedimentary basins. Petroleum wells were the primary data source\, but natural hydrogen has also been detected in mineral exploration drillholes\, shallow gas seep drilling and water bores in Western Australia. The GSWA has investigated soil gas spot sampling and continuous soil gas measurements for natural hydrogen in the Canning and Perth Basins. Additional studies include the use of Fluid Inclusion Stratigraphy (FIS) from well cuttings and core demonstrating anomalous zones of both hydrogen and helium in petroleum wells. \nLegislation for exploration of natural hydrogen in Western Australia was passed in May 2024 by adding hydrogen as a prescribed regulated substance to the Petroleum Legislation Amendment Act 2024. Supporting regulations for natural hydrogen exploration are currently being developed in conjunction with the transport and storage of greenhouse gas regulations. \nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $69.00 \nConcession Member [Retired or Hardship]: $59.00 \nStudent Member: $10.00 \nGraduate Member: $20.00 \nNon-Member: $99.00 \nMember (Non-Early Bird): $79.00 \nEarly bird\, Concession\, Student and Graduate Member pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST).

SUMMARY:PESA WA February 13th Evening Talk: New Tricks for Old Dogs: Modelling for the Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA invites you to a technical Evening Event Thursday 13th February.\nNew Tricks for Old Dogs: Modelling for the Energy Transition\nPresented by Mark Bentley (Langdale Geoscience) \nSo\, the plan is to store CO2 … \nIf we’re involved in making reservoir and simulation models for oil and gas production\, what do we have to do differently now for the world of storage?  On the face of it\, these are just gas disposal schemes (simple).  On closer inspection\, it’s not quite like that\, and it turns out it’s much more interesting (harder). \nThis short talk looks at some areas of change and the aspects we need to get right if our forecasts are to be meaningful at all.  There’s a clear shift from sedimentary to more structural themes (which we have to be much better at)\, a replacement of familiar concepts such as in-place resource volumes and recovery factor to less familiar ideas of storativity and storage efficiency and a rethink of the importance of heterogeneity in the face of different fluids and in a non-isothermal world. \nThe scales we model at will need to be different\, and so will the timescales.  There’s also the over-arching issue that best solutions are likely to lie in aquifers\, yet most projects on the drawing board are for depleted gas fields. Some technical reservoir issues are clearly less important than they were during production\, but others are more critical in areas where our supporting data is limited. \nNot really prosecco – more like olive oil. \n  \nTimings for the event: \nDate: Thursday 13st February 2025 \nVenue: Parmelia Hilton Hotel\, Perth \nTime: 6pm – 8pm (Perth time) \n  \n\nPESA Members:                                $40.00 (PESA Members must Log on to the PESA website to purchase) \nNon-members:                                 $50.00 \nPESA Students Members:              Free (registration is essential)

SUMMARY:February 2025 Workshop - Good Model: Bad Models – How Can We Tell?
DESCRIPTION: Good Model: Bad Models – How Can We Tell? \nA one-day workshop with Mark Bentley\, 13th February 2025 \nReservoir and simulation models are widely used to generate forecasts and support decision-making in operating companies\, yet the results often disappoint.  Where do models ‘go bad’\, and what can we do to address the disappointments? \n\nFirstly: sometimes we do OK.  There are excellent examples of useful models which help support good development decisions and help move us forward. \nHowever\, there is also a broad tendency towards over-optimism in modelling\, a habit of making forecast ranges which are too narrow and key heterogeneity is often lost in the modelling process\, leading to misleading predictions. \nIn this one-day workshop\, common causes are shared\, along with suggested solutions and\, for those who use or review models\, things to query. \n\nWorkshop will take place at the Parmelia Hilton Hotel\, Perth on the 13th February 2025: \nMembers: $400 \nNon-Members: $500 \nStudent Members: $100

SUMMARY:PESA WA Christmas Luncheon 2024:
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA invites you to our Christmas Technical Luncheon on Thursday 12th December\nTalk by Ernie Delfos – ‘Colour of Rocks’  \n\n\nHaving spent over 40 years in the great Oil & Gas industry\, you know what part of your career you are in when you are invited to give a talk on it. It seemed an appropriate invitation to accept when in July this year I realised that my passion for geology came a full circle with a trip to the Bungle Bungle Range in the Kimberley region. The magnificent beehive structures and their alternating red and yellow colouring caused the posing of the question why? The same question as a teenager I asked what causes the colour of rocks and who studies this? \n\n\nTransitioning from full time employment to “my time” employment is exciting and highly recommended if affordable and I am excited to share experiences\, lessons learned\, and yarns on all these influences and mentors that shaped my career so far. \nI strongly believe there is plenty of running room in the future demand of hydrocarbons to improve global standards of living\, while we find better ways to cut emissions and seek alternatives. \n\n  \nPESA WA Annual General Meeting\nPESA WA is seeking new committee members to support the running of the society and its active program of technical and social events throughout the year.  A range of positions are available\, with opportunities to shadow existing members to build experience and understanding of the committee. \nNominations for 2025 committee positions are required by the 6th of December\, prior to the AGM at the Annual Christmas Luncheon on the 12th of December. For further information please review role descriptions in the 2025 nomination form (link below) or reach out to the WA President (wa-president@pesa.com.au) or WA Secretary (wa-secretary@pesa.com.au) for further details. \nPESA Committee Nomination Form \n\nHosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science and DUG: \n \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft Inversion and Qeye: \n               \n  \nEach lunch ticket includes networking drinks at Metro Bar afterwards.  No admittance to the drinks if you have not purchased a lunch ticket. \n\nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $79.00 \nStudent Member (Early Bird): $49.00 \nNon-Member: $109.00 \nMember (Non-Early Bird): $89.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST).

SUMMARY:PESA WA November 21st Evening Talk: Top seal and compartmentalisation in the Kingia Play\, implications for porosity preserving plays.
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA invites you to a technical Evening Event Thursday 21st November.\nTop Seal and Compartmentalisation in the Kingia Play\, implications for porosity preserving Plays. \nPresented by Alex Fuerst (Molyneux Advisors) \nIn the Kingia play of the North Perth Basin\, significant compartmentalisation is observed across the basin and within individual fields\, despite the sand-on-sand juxtaposition. This compartmentalisation manifests in both pressure and phase (gas/water) variations. Cemented fractures are observed near fault zones in Perth Basin wells. This results in decreased permeability near faults\, as evidenced by local wells in the Perth Basin. \nSEM images show fractures within grains of grain coated sands are sufficient to serve as nucleation sites for quartz cementation. In contrast\, within the Irwin River Coal Measures (IRCM)\, the grain surfaces alone provide sufficient sites for cementation. The IRCM sands exhibit permeabilities that are characteristic of seals\, with samples displaying quartz cementation\, kaolin cementation\, or a combination of both. \nThe implications for play risk / play maps are significant. Shallower Kingia penetrations face an unproven top seal due to the less cemented IRCM\, potentially explaining the multiple shallower exploration failures. At greater depths\, the presence of more complex faulting may enhance fault seal integrity and lead to more intricate trap configurations. However\, this also likely increases development complexity due to reservoir compartmentalization. The observed improvement in IRCM sealing capacity with depth suggests broader implications for exploring deeper grain-coated plays\, allowing for a wider range of facies to be considered as potential seals. \n  \nTimings for the event: \nDate: Thursday 21st November\, 2024 \nVenue: The Shoe Bar\, Yaga Square\, Perth \nTime: 6pm – 8pm (Perth time) \n  \n\nPESA Members:                                $25.00 (PESA Members must Log on to the PESA website to purchase) \nNon-members:                                 $50.00 \nPESA Students Members:              Free (registration is essential)

SUMMARY:PESA Sedimentology and Stratigraphy Interest Group (SSIG) Meeting - August 2024
DESCRIPTION:PESA Sedimentology and Stratigraphy Interest Group meeting \n30th of August\, 1 – 4pm Carlisle Core Library\n4pm Balmoral Hotel\, Victoria Park\nCores from the Middle Jurassic J20 Reservoirs of Australia’s Western Margin\nMiddle Jurassic reservoirs have helped underpin Australia’s gas export industry for decades and will for many more. This widespread thick sand dominated unit is variably named the Yarragadee Formation\, Cattamarra CM\, Legendre Formation and Plover Formation\, depending on basin. It represents a mega deltaic succession grading from fluvial to deltaic to marine and back again\, both vertically and laterally from the Perth Basin in the South and continuing to East Timor and Indonesia in the Nth. Cores have been chosen to cover the vertical and lateral variation with cores from Houtman-1 in the Perth Basin\, Perseus-2 in the Nth Carnarvon Basin\, Callaince-1 in the Browse Basin and Barrossa-3 in the Bonaparte Basin. Depofacies include fluvial channel fill\, distributary channel fill\, shore face\, interdistributary bay\, delta front\, offshore transition and open marine. Come and review the facies variations\, the diagenetic variability and the controls on production that are evident in the core. See if you can identify climatic indicators in this system as well. \nOrganisers: Rob Seggie and Darren Ferdinando \nAs is tradition\, the SSIG workshop will be followed by drinks at 4.00 pm at the Balmoral Hotel\, Victoria Park. \nPESA supplies nibbles\, but drinks are at your own expense. \nHard limit of 35 attendees and every previous SSIG meeting has been fully booked out.  \n  \nCost:  \nMember:  $10 \nStudent members:  Free \n  \nRegistrations close Thursday 29th August at 5pm. \nThis event is for members only. This is for insurance purposes. Please do not book on behalf of non-members.

Exploration trends\, acreage releases\, bids and awards\, seismic acquisition\, drilling activity and transactions. \nPetroleum exploration expenditure in 2023 increased modestly over that of 2022. But remains well below expenditure highs of a decade ago\, which was dominated by offshore activity. Exploration expenditure\, and activity\, is now dominant in onshore state jurisdictions. This has been the case since 2019 and will continue with no Federal offshore petroleum exploration acreage release rounds or exploration permit awards in 2023. Exploration expenditure (and activity) appears to be de-linked from increases in commodity prices which have typically been exploration stimuli in the past. This suggests that other factors including access to acreage\, regulatory burden\, legal challenge\, social and environmental\, are at play. \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).

SUMMARY:Joint PESA - SPE WA Evening Event July 2024:  Geothermal Energy and CCUS in Australia
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science and DUG: \n       \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft and Qeye: \n             \nPESA – SPE WA invites you to Joint Evening Event.\nGeothermal Energy: A pragmatic consideration of how to commercialize Australia’s misunderstood resource \nPresented by Trey Meckel (Monteverde Energy) \n\nGeothermal energy is a readily available\, reliable\, zero-emissions resource that provides numerous advantages in a balanced energy portfolio\, as well as societal and environmental benefits\, that can help Australia meet its commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050. \nRenewable energy projects are central to achieving Australia’s decarbonization objectives: electricity is the largest source of emissions in Australia\, at ~33% of the national total. Recent trends have seen substantial decreases in power-related generation in the past decade; however\, existing and planned wind\, solar and battery storage projects are not capable of offsetting planned retirements of thermal power plants – especially when considering anticipated increases in electricity demand and baseload supply issues. Supply shortfalls and grid reliability issues represent serious risks to safe\, secure\, clean and affordable energy. \nGeothermal resources address these issues by providing flexible\, dispatchable\, baseload power that complements solar and wind projects by providing “always-on” power\, supplementing those significant\, but intermittent resources. Furthermore\, geothermal is highly scalable\, allowing fit-for-purpose power solutions\, including behind the meter provision\, “islanded” grids in remote areas\, and baseload or dispatchable supply to the grid in more populous areas. \nThis talk provides an overview of geothermal energy in an Australian context\, including next-generation technologies that have transformed the global industry over the past decade; the benefits and challenges that will shape the sector in the coming decades; and critical commercial\, regulatory\, ESG and other success factors that will drive geothermal energy as a significant component of Australia’s decarbonized future. \n\nAustralian CCUS in 2024 – project status\, policy and the future \nPresented by Rosie Johnstone (Geovault) \n\nCCS project maturation in Australia has seen highs and lows since it was first initiated 1999 with the GEODISC study. Changes in government support and market forces have seen periods of greater activity (notably 2008-2011 with state and Federal support for CCS to address coal emissions thorough the CCS Flagships program) through to the doldrums of the 2010’s with the removal of both CCS incentives (carbon tax and meaningful emission reduction schemes)  and wholesale government support through funding. \nThe 2020’s saw a change in public sentiment and the setting of corporate\, state and national Net Zero 2050 targets which supported a renewed interest in CCS in Australia\, this time linked to emission reduction from LNG gas processing\, hard to abate industries and the rise in third party CCS as a service hubs. \nIn this talk Rosie will give a look back on CCS in Australia\, give a view of the current status of projects and potential future trends. \n  \nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $40.00 \nNon-Member (Early Bird): $60.00 \nMember: $50.00 \nNon-Member: $70.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST).

SUMMARY:PESA WA June Technical Lunch:  Building a carbon dioxide storage portfolio for the Barrow-Dampier sub-basins through regional screening – an integrated geoscience approach
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors IKON Science and DUG: \n                                              \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Delft and Qeye: \n              \n\nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 27th June.\nBuilding a carbon dioxide storage portfolio for the Barrow-Dampier sub-basins through regional screening – an integrated geoscience approach\nPresented by David Barlass (SLB – Exploration Lead)\n\nAuthors: David Barlass* & Ruth Hamilton (SLB)\, Sabine Mehay & Adeline Parent (SLB Oilfield UK plc)\, Ivan Pei (SLB)\, Oliver Schenk (SLB Oilfield UK plc)\, Merrie-Ellen Gunning (Geoscience Australia)\, Adam Vonk (Chevron Australia) \nSafe geological carbon dioxide storage (GCS) requires rocks with suitable injectivity\, capacity and sealing properties to ensure secure long-term containment of injected CO2.  A regional understanding of the subsurface is essential to determine the potential for GCS of a basin and to select target sites. This is best addressed by integrating the basin’s tectono-stratigraphic evolution\, its gross depositional environment\, and its hydrodynamic\, thermal and stress regimes. \nA basin-scale GCS assessment for the Barrow-Dampier sub-basins was conducted by Geoscience Australia and SLB. The objective of the study is to high-grade geological intervals and sites for potential GCS and to understand potential storage capacity and key risk factors. Stratigraphic and structural mapping of key storage intervals was performed using the reprocessed seismic volume and well database associated with the project. Analysis of critically stressed faults was used to estimate the likelihood of reactivation based on the far-field regional stress field and fault mechanical properties. Pressure\, temperature\, porosity\, permeability\, and water geochemistry data has been screened for >500 wells for assessing the storage unit intervals and predicting the hydrodynamic regime. Calibrated 2D basin models provide information on the regional pressure-temperature regime\, porosity/permeability distribution\, and sealing effectiveness. Potentiometric surface maps for the aquifer systems inform the distribution of CO2 plume migration. Results of this integrated regional basin study are used to quantify the risk of identified storage containers and to map the chance of success for GCS at a regional scale. The project results are to be made publicly available in Mar 2024. \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).
