Full textAbstract:
On the example of the Internet-discourse dealing with understanding the life and creativity of Konstantin Stupin, the problems associated with formation and approval of the prebiographical image of the Russian rock-poet in the reader’s environment are revealed. Media decoding of different aspects of private life is studied from the standpoint of the confrontation of cultures, moral and aesthetic stances of different recipient groups. The points of contact between the biographed and the biographer as the central subjects of biography are considered. A range of issues is determined, the solution of which is necessary for further theoretical and methodological study of the structure and content of the prebiography and biography of the rock-poet in the context of creative memory of culture.

Full textAbstract:
Interpreting seismic data for petrophysical rock properties requires a rock-physics model that links the petrophysical rock properties to the elastic properties, such as velocity and impedance. Such a model can only be established from controlled experiments in which both groups of rock properties are measured on the same samples. A prolific source of such data is wellbore measurements. We use data from four wells drilled through a clastic offshore oil reservoir to perform rock-physics diagnostics, i.e., to find a theoretical rock-physics model that quantitatively explains the measurements. Using the model, we correct questionable well curves. Moreover, a crucial purpose of rock-physics diagnostics is to go beyond the settings represented in the wells and understand the seismic signatures of rock properties varying in a wider range via forward seismic modeling. With this goal in mind, we use our model to generate synthetic seismic gathers from perturbational modeling to address “what-if” scenarios not present in the wells.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter introduces some issues related to the different interpretations and narratives that have been put forward in relation to the Indigenous rock-art of the Kimberley, Northwest Australia. At the centre of inquiry is an examination of the construction of European narratives around these images in their respective historical context. The earliest interpretations were put forward by British explorers and were constructed within the racist and evolutionistic frameworks of the 19th century. These narratives were intimately bound to the contemporary colonialist experience. However, it is also shown that certain elements of these interpretations have lasting effects that resonate until today. Interpretations about the art and the rock-art of the Kimberley find their place today in disputes over the control over land and resources between Aboriginal and other interest groups in post-colonial Australia.

Full textAbstract:
Petroleum geochemical analysis of samples from the Canning, Carnarvon, Officer and Perth basins identified several formations with source potential, the: • Triassic Locker Shale and Jurassic Dingo Claystone of the Northern Carnarvon Basin; • Permian Irwin River Coal Measures and Carynginia Formation, Triassic Kockatea Shale and Jurassic Cattamarra Coal Measures of the Perth Basin; • Ordovician Goldwyer and Bongabinni formations, Devonian Gogo Formation and Lower Carboniferous Laurel Formation of the Canning Basin; • Devonian Gneudna Formation of the Gascoyne Platform and the Lower Permian Wooramel and Byro groups of the Merlinleigh Sub-basin of the Southern Carnarvon Basin; and • Neoproterozoic Brown, Hussar, Kanpa and Steptoe formations of the Officer Basin. Burial history and geothermal basin modelling was undertaken using input parameters from geochemical analyses of rock samples, produced oil, organic petrology, apatite fission track analysis (AFTA), heat flows, subsurface temperatures and other exploration data compiled by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA). Of these basins, the Canning, Carnarvon, and Perth basins are currently producing oil and gas, whereas the Southern Carnarvon and Officer basins have no commercial petroleum discovery yet, but they do have source, reservoir, seal and petroleum shows indicating the presence of petroleum systems. The Carnarvon Basin contains the richest identified petroleum source rocks, followed by the Perth and Canning basins. Production in the Carnarvon Basin is predominantly gas and oil, the Perth Basin is gas-condensate and the Canning Basin is oil dominated, demonstrating the variations in source rock type and maturity across the state. GSWA is continuously adding new data to assess petroleum systems and prospectivity of these and other basins in Western Australia.

Full textAbstract:
A total of 83 samples of stranded bitumens collected from the western and southern coasts of Western Australia have been classified into eight groups on the basis of their biomarker compositions. The source rock characteristics inferred for these bitumens, in terms of organic matter type and depositional setting indicated by the biomarkers, suggest strongly that the bitumens originate from a variety of areas in SE Asia in the vicinity of the Indonesian archipelago. In fact, in seven of the eight cases a good correlation is observed between biomarker composition of each bitumen group and a produced crude oil or oil seep from this region. The bitumens are transported to and around the Australian coastline by a system of ocean currents.

Full textAbstract:
In the absence of conventional core data, drill cuttings provide a continuous, independent and relatively inexpensive data source. Data collected from this often under-utilised resource can be used to determine permeability, provide information on diagenesis, stratigraphy and sedimentology, locate natural fractures, discriminate between genuinely poor reservoir and under performing assets and assist with petrophysical characterisation. Data can also be acquired in real time at the wellsite.Drill cuttings analysis or rock typing is a visual method of semi-quantitatively describing rock and pore characteristics from drill cuttings. More specifically it partitions rocks into distinct permeability groups according to their petrophysical properties as observed under high-powered stereo microscope. Based on the observation of key visible attributes, the rocks are assigned to one of six rock types equivalent to the following permeability ranges; 1A (>100mD ambient), 1B (10-100 md ambient), 1C (1-10 mD ambient), 1D (0.5- 1 mD ambient), type II (0.5-0.07 mD ambient) and type III (One of the major strengths of rock typing is it can be used to provide an estimate of in-situ permeabilities. As rock type categories are related to ambient permeability classes an algorithm has been developed to take these ambient range estimates to single in-situ values for permeability and then taking into consideration the lithology in the sample, calculates a permeability height (kh) for the interval. The algorithm corrects for overburden, klinkenberg and relative permeability effects.A comparison of kh derived from rock typing with kh derived from production and test data indicates a strong correlation between the two datasets. Results indicate that the kh sources are consistently similar and fall within one third of an order of magnitude of each other. As both of these data sources are independently derived it suggests both are realistic derivations of the actual kh of the reservoir interval. Consequently, once calibrated to all data sources, rock typing is considered capable of providing a robust estimate of in-situ kh for a specified reservoir interval.

Full textAbstract:
Nuclear DNA measurements for 17 Australian populations of Bulbine support the recognition of the four major groups already suggested by chromosome studies. Within the perennial group, Bulbine bulbosa s. lat., the tuberless, 46-chromosome (hypo-8x) "rock lily" has a similar DNA content to the hypo-4x, 24-chromosome populations of the "bulbosa" complex, which has populations at hypo-4x, -8x, and -12x levels. The "rock lily" also has substantially less DNA than another 46-chromosome entity, represented by the Kroombit population. Within the annual group, Bulbine semibarbata s. lat., the distinctions are less clear. However, the winged-seeded, 4x, 28-chromosome "alata" appears to have slightly more DNA than the closely related 26-chromosome "semibarbata." The 54-chromosome, 8x annual populations of eastern Australia have a DNA amount consistent with their proposed allopolyploid origin. The 52-chromosome "semibarbata" populations of Western Australia have, as expected, a lower DNA content than the 54-chromosome form and approximately twice the 4x "semibarbata" amount. It is suggested that some observed clinal variation in DNA content and an apparent DNA deficit in some of the higher polyploids of both perennial and annual groups may be attributable to climatic trends since the Miocene. Key words: Liliaceae, Bulbine, DNA content, polyploids, genome evolution.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores past connections of Aboriginal people within what is now known as the Wet Tropics, a coastal strip of tropical rainforest in northeast Australia. As a result of historical and ethnographic descriptions the rainforest is often defined as a ‘cultural zone’. The proclamation of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, based on environmental parameters, has exaggerated the idea of the rainforest as a cultural boundary. We propose that in the past, Aboriginal connections were multifaceted, multifunctional and multidirectional, extending beyond the Wet Tropics boundaries. We use rock art to illustrate connections within and beyond the rainforest. For example, decorated shields, an iconic item of rainforest material culture, are depicted in rock art assemblages south of the rainforest boundary. Are the shield paintings out-of-place or do they illustrate networks of connection? We examine rock art motifs found in rainforest areas and compare them with those found in other rock art regions in North Queensland. We identify, for example, that sites located in the eastern rainforest are dominated by painted anthropomorphs (people) and zoomorphs (animals) in the silhouette style similar to figurative rock art of southeast Cape York Peninsula. We suggest that, like other areas, there were connections between cultural groups within the rainforest but that these same groups had links that went beyond this environmental zone. We further propose that the proclamation of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area has particularly influenced non-Aboriginal understandings of the past within this region.

Full textAbstract:
In the latter half of the 1990s there was a long-running but unreported conflict over use of a coastal rock platform on the Central Coast of New South Wales, just to the north of Sydney. This multifaceted dispute was between poor Korean Australians from the inner suburbs of Sydney and locals. The source of this conflict was the manner in which the rock platform was being used, how its resources were exploited and the type of social life that accompanied these activities. Different peoples brought different understandings to the rock platform, and they acted in accordance with those understandings.For many older settler Australians, and for the diminishing number of those ‘on the land’, the essence of what it is to be Australian is found outside of urban environments. Colloquially referred to as ‘the bush’, this can mean virtually any rural, remote, regional, or non-urban setting. For those living in cities, and for more recent immigrants to Australia, national parks are one site that provides ready access to ‘the bush’. As with the coastal rock platform, different peoples bring different understandings to their encounters with national parks and ‘the bush’, and their use of these places changes accordingly.This paper begins with a description of the rock platform incident, before moving on to discuss the response of different immigrant groups to national parks and other open public spaces.

Full textAbstract:
Uperoleia is a large genus of small-bodied terrestrial frogs that occur in Australia and southern New Guinea. With nine species, the Kimberley region in northern Western Australia is the most diverse. Recent surveys of the northwest coast of the Kimberley have revealed a tenth species of Uperoleia. The new species is characterized by a combination of small body size, dark and slightly tubercular dorsal skin, basal webbing between the toes, outer metatarsal tubercle spatulate and oriented perpendicular to the foot, possession of maxillary teeth, a broadly exposed frontoparietal fontanelle and the advertisement call is a high-pitched rasp. All specimens collected have been associated with sandstone boulders or escarpments with flowing water or rock pools. The northwest Kimberley is an isolated region of high rainfall and rugged terrain that possesses high biodiversity for many plant and animal groups and is therefore worthy of special conservation attention.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractBoth on and off the rocks, it is clear that many pictographs and petroglyphs are powerful cultural and social ‘tools’ as well as sacred beings. Indeed, in certain regions of many countries, cultural and socio-political identity is shaped, manipulated, and presented through rock paintings and engravings. In this chapter, we focus on re-contextualised and appropriated Indigenous heritage and rock art motifs, in commercial settings, in sports team mascots, and as integral components of political and national symbols—there are illuminating similarities (as well as differences) that span the globe. Case studies include instances where descendants of the original artists have re-imagined and adapted the meanings and uses of motifs, and also where non-Indigenous/non-descendant groups have appropriated rock art imagery—often without consultation with or permission from Traditional Owners and heritage managers. We offer results from fieldwork and study in North America, northern Australia, and southern Africa.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Oral histories and life stories have always played a role, albeit an undervalued one, in Indigenous archaeologies. In this chapter, we explore how the process of documenting oral histories with Indigenous community members has influenced archaeological interpretations of rock art. Using case studies from Djok Country in Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia, we question how incorporating oral histories and life stories into field methodologies allows us to capture moments in time, personal histories, emotions associated with places and people, relationships to Country, and the role of rock art as a medium for intergenerational knowledge transfer. Building on our growing body of work relating to rock art and biography in western Arnhem Land, this chapter redirects the discussion to the fieldwork process and its local and broader academic influences. It is argued that oral history is key in conceptualizing and understanding Indigenous rock art, people’s lives, moments, memories, and emotions.

"Estimation of Rock Permeability Scores Using Machine Learning Methods." In SPE Asia Pacific Oil & Gas Conference and Exhibition. SPE, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/210711-ms.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Permeability is an important parameter that describes the flow characteristics of rocks (hydrocarbons in the oil and gas reservoirs or groundwater in aquifers). Currently, laboratory experiments using cored samples and well testing are the main methods to determine rock permeability. However, these methods are time-consuming and/or resource-intensive. This paper proposes a novel machine learning approach to predict permeability scores. Field drilling and wireline data are acquired from 80 wells in the Surat Basin, Australia. The permeability scores are based on petrophysical interpretations from wireline logs. Before applying machine learning modeling, some preprocessing steps are conducted, including the elimination of non-numerical values and outliers. In this study, artificial neural network (ANN) and extreme gradient boost (XGBoost) are used to predict the permeability scores. There are 7 permeability scores in the original data and additional groupings (3 or 4 permeability groups) are conducted. As the data is highly imbalanced (i.e., almost 90% of samples are labeled with permeability score 0), the undersampling technique and oversampling technique (SMOTE) are used to enhance the model performance. Finally, the confusion matrix is used as an evaluation metric to quantify the model performance of this multiclass classification task. Results show that machine learning models have skewed performance (predicted permeability scores are lower than actual permeability scores) due to imbalanced data and have the best performance on the 0 permeability score samples (>99% accuracy). The implementation of undersampling and oversampling techniques can balance the model performance and improve the performance on high permeability score samples. Among all simulations, XGBoost with undersampling technique can achieve over 80% accuracy for the 3 permeability classes. The proposed machine learning approach provides a fast and cost-effective way to estimate rock permeability. It can be used to identify high and low permeability zones (e.g., identification of sweet spots).
