As the industry explores and develops prospects in increasingly challenging settings, it is imperative to use multi-disciplinary integrated studies to minimise risk and maximize returns. The integration of geological, geophysical, petrophysical, and reservoir data can help ensure a thorough understanding of the field and how best to exploit it. In this session we will hear how integrated studies have been applied to the definition and development of prospects in several settings. We will hear about reservoir characterisation of shoreface sands at the Jansz/lo Gas Field, NW Shelf, Australia; prediction of reservoir distribution and quality for deepwater sands in the tectonically active NW Borneo Slope; and finally about the geodynamic 32 controls on the structural development of NW Borneo.

SESSION 41: PALAEO GEOGRAPHY
Session Chairpersons:
- John McPherson, ExxonMobil Exploration Australia
- Guy Oliver, Fugro Robertson Ltd.
The role of palaeogeography and palaeoclimatic variation as one of the main controls on sedimentary facies and stratal architecture has received a significant resurgence of interest over the last five or so years. This has coincided with a now universal interest in climate change that has stimulated the development of a new generation of sophisticated general circulation models (GCMs). The application of these to past climates is referred to as palaeo-Earth systems modelling. With the increasing need for new ventures exploration, the oil industry is taking advantage of this synergy between climatic and geological modelling to reduce exploration risk.
