“…Firstly, because some synthesis of the analogue knowledge base is useful for subsurface predictions in contexts where assessing static connectivity is important. It is common to refer to geological analogues to make predictions of the size of crevasse-splay units in subsurface successions (e.g., Lang et al 2002;Stuart et al 2014;Heldreich et al 2017); quantitative knowledge of crevasse-splay geometries finds direct application for guiding well-to-well correlation in densely drilled areas and for constraining reservoir models. Secondly, results of this synthesis feed through to the numerical-modelling component of this work, by informing the choice of modelling scenarios considered for further analysis.…”

“…Whilst outside the Cooper Basin further shale gas appraisal work has been done in the McArthur Basin, Betaloo Sub Basin and the Lawn Hill Platform. Based on the highly fluvial and lacustrine geology and differential stress loadings based on structuring, a significant amount of research has been placed on defining the structure to high grade areas for unconventional reservoir targets (Lang, S.C. & Jochen, 2000;Lang, S.C. et al, 2001).…”

Hydraulic fracturing in many Australian Basins, particularly the Cooper Basin has been successful in higher permeability, structured conventional plays. However, adaptation of North American strategies to Australia's complex, and highly stressed unconventional areas has resulted in less than adequate performance to progress further investment into widespread development these resources. This presentation will explore the obvious differences between Australian and North American stress settings, and the problems manifested by those differences in hydraulic fracture containment and behaviour. Further, as more unconventional targets are attempted, complementary strategies need to be considered based on fundamental geomechanical principles, relative to these basinal environments. This presentation will explore several problems, emerging potential solutions, and areas of ongoing research with the purpose of aiding Australia to tap into a vast supply of potential unconventional resources, which are currently under-appraised.

Prediction of channel connectivity and fluvial style in the flood-basin successions of the Upper Permian Rangal coal measures (Queensland)

Predicting the presence and connectivity of reservoir-quality facies in otherwise mud-prone fluvial overbank successions is important as such sandbodies can potentially provide connectivity between larger neighboring sandbodies. This interseam. Well spacing was too great to allow accurate correlation of channel bodies. The Ob River, Siberia, was used as modern analogue to supply planform geometric measurements of splay and distributary channels, so that stochastic modeling of channel bodies was possible. The resulting models demonstrated that (i) channel-body connectivity is more uniform in distributary river systems than in splay complexes; (ii) relatively good connectivity is seen in proximal positions in splays, but decreases distally from the source as channel elements diverge; (iii) connectivity tends to be greater down the axis of splays, with more isolated channel bodies occurring at the margins.
