PETROGEO 4014 - Characterising & Evaluating Energy Fluid Resources

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2022

This project-based course covers the technical basis and methods of discovering and evaluating energy fluid resources using exploration data. Students will select the most prospective resource area they discover and quantify its resource potential. Part A of this course is equivalent to coursework 2 units. It comprises a series of 13 half-day technical workshops that introduce the concepts and processes of interpreting and evaluating sources of energy fluid resource exploration information. These workshops cover the key technical disciplines of sedimentary geology, stratigraphy, structural geology, drilling, wireline logging and seismic surveying. They are supported by exercise-based practical application of theory. Part A will be assessed by submission of short in-class exercises for each sub-module. Part B is equivalent to 1 unit of study and involves a series of industry software training sessions using a variety of exploration datasets ? the project data ? from an Australian sedimentary basin. Students will undertake basic interpretation and geological framework modelling for formative assessment. Part C is equivalent to 3 units of study. Earlier interpretation and modelling work is further developed to identify and characterise energy fluid resource prospects. Students will complete the task by identifying the most promising prospect and characterising its properties within a `field-scale? stratigraphic framework model, in order to quantify the total resource it represents. Students will present their findings to an `exploration management panel? comprising members of academic staff and a representative from the energy fluids exploration & production industry, who will collectively provide their feedback. Students will complete the course by submitting a final report for assessment that documents their work, describes their model and states conclusions.
