Unit descriptionFossil fuels – especially oil and gas – are a major and key component of Australia's energysupply, but have significant negative impacts on our environment. To refine the balancebetween fossil fuel exploitation and negative environmental impacts, it is important tounderstand how oil and gas are formed, how they are discovered and recovered, and howthey can be utilised in less environmentally harmful ways. This unit combines geological andgeophysical approaches to investigate exploration and production methods for crude oil,natural gas and coal bed methane, with a major focus on basin analysis, the key tounderstanding these processes.The key components of the petroleum system from source rocks formation throughgeneration, expulsion, migration, accumulation and alteration in reservoirs are studied, as aremechanisms for oil and gas production from conventional and unconventional reservoirs.Similar technologies are also utilised for geosequestration of CO2 from burning coal ('cleancoal'), and the opportunities for this in Australia are assessed. Many geological jobs arecurrently available in the petroleum industries, and it is clear that in the next 10 years there willbe a surge in jobs related to the geosequestration of CO2 from burning coal. This unitprepares students for those jobs.

Delivery and Resources

The unit will be presented in 4 broad themes:

Theme 1: The Petroleum system. Conventional oil and gas. Source rocks, thermal maturation,generation, expulsion, migration, seals, reservoir rocks, organic geochemistry, oilbiodegradation, timing of charge.

Theme 2: Seismic exploration processes. Exploration Geophysics.

Theme 3: Basin analysis and rheology of the continental lithosphere. Physical principles ofbasin analysis, basins in the context of plate tectonics.

Theme 4: Unconventional energy resources and Peak Oil. Coal bed methane (coal seam gas), shale gas,CO2 sequestration, geothermal energy. Forecast for oil and gas supply for next 30 years.

Classes and contact hours:



Attend the one hour lecture, and one three hour practical each week.

Lecture: E6A 102, Tuesdays 12:00-13:00

Practicals: E5A 210, 2 classes:

1. Tuesdays 14:00-17:00 (Practical 01)

2. Wednesdays 14:00-17:00 (Practical 02)

It is the policy in this unit that students will normally attend the lecture and a practical each week,and will make their own notes from the lectures. It is expected that many of the lectures will beinteractive, with questions and answers throughout. Lectures will be recorded using Echo 360, andfiles of the lecture graphics will also be made available through iLearn. These will be particularlyuseful for revision purposes. Many of the practicals are assessed, it is important that you attendone of these each week.

This unit can be seen as an interconnected stream between lectures and practicals. We maychoose to have a short lecture or two within the three hour practical. The lecture stream will give abroad overview of the topics, provide background information and introduce new ideas andconcepts that link in with the practical stream.

Late Enrolments

If you enrol late in the unit, you will have already missed one or more lectures. It is yourresponsibility to catch up. Also, you will still be expected to submit all assignments within theremaining time.

Hours

This is a 3 credit point unit. It is anticipated that you will spend >9 hours per week involved with the unit,including the four hour class contact time per week, and approximately four to five hours per week doinghome study. It is particularly important that you spend plenty of time preparing the two assignments.

Web pages and electronic resources

The main unit web page is on iLearn: https://ilearn.mq.edu.au/login/MQ/

iLearn is Macquarie's learning management system. Assignments, hand-outs, reading material andon-line quizzes will be available here.

iLearn Communication Tools: The unit iLearn page includes three messaging tools, theAnnouncements tool, the General Discussions forum and the Dialogue tool. In theAnnouncements Forum, the teaching staff will make unit-wide announcements. These will mostlyconcern administrative matters (Please note: Students cannot post in this forum). All participantsare subscribed to this forum and will automatically receive email notification of these importantannouncements. The General Discussions forum is used for messages that either everyoneenrolled or selected groups in an online unit can read. Students and teaching staff can post andreply to these messages. The Dialogue tool is used for private messages between you, yourlecturer and students in a unit. It is suggested that you check for new discussion and mailmessages at least once every few days.

Sound recordings and pdf files of the lectures: Sound recordings will be available from the linkin iLearn (on right hand side of page) to the Echo 360 site. Alternatively, the sound recordings can



https://ilearn.mq.edu.au/login/MQ/

be reached from this link:

https://echo.mq.edu.au:8443/ess/app

Pdf files of each lecture will be available for download from the iLearn site, 1-2 days before eachlecture. These will be in the section “GEOS309 lectures” under each Module, and will be availableas pdf files in 2 formats: (1) colour, 1 page per slide, not suitable for printing, but ideal for looking aton your computer; and (2) black & white, 3 slides per page (please note that due to the wonders ofpowerpoint, some images in these files get squashed or corrupted; but these are good for printingto bring to lectures).

On-line quizzes on lectures

After each lecture a quiz will open to make sure you have read and understood the lecturematerial. The quizzes will be available on-line through the iLearn system (see “Quizzes” section ineach module of iLearn) and together are worth 5% of the unit mark. You will do these in your owntime, open book, and they will be open until 23:55 on Friday of that week. There will be a time limitof 30 mins on the lecture quizzes, and you only get one go. The 5% mark will be derived bysumming all the lecture quizzes and normalising to 5.

Practicals

A very important component of GEOS309 are the practicals. These are for 3 hours, and enableseveral of the topics to be dealt with in greater depth. The mode of presentation of these practicalswill vary considerably week to week. Some weeks, it will be a more tutorial format, with group workand discussion; for example, the coal-bed methane short course. Other weeks they will be morepractically and hands-on oriented. Some weeks you will be working on computers, other times onvirtual microscopes, or hard copy work sheets. Most of the practicals are assessed throughsubmitted work from each individual. You will be given specific details of what is expected for thepractical assessment when you begin each section of the class. Please bring pencils, pens,coloured pencils and a ruler to the practicals.

Exam

The unit examination will be based on lectures, unit reading material, lab exercises, informationyou should have absorbed through completing assignments and any other material presentedduring classes. The educational rationale for the exam is to check the acquired knowledge by thestudents at the end of the unit.

The University Examination period in the Second Half Year 2013 is from Monday 11 November2013 to Friday 29 November 2013. You are expected to present yourself for examination at the



https://echo.mq.edu.au:8443/ess/app

time and place designated in the University Examination Timetable. The timetable will be availablein draft form approximately eight weeks before the commencement of the examinations and in finalform approximately four weeks before the commencement of the examinations.

http://www.timetables.mq.edu.au/

You are advised that it is Macquarie University policy not to set early examinations for individualsor groups of students. All students are expected to ensure that they are available until the end ofthe teaching session, that is, the final day of the official examination period. The only exception tonot sitting an examination at the designated time is because of documented illness or unavoidabledisruption. In these circumstances you may wish to consider applying for Special Consideration.The following is a link to the University’s Special Consideration Policy. You are required to read thispolicy at the start of this session:

http://www.mq.edu.au/policy/docs/special_consideration/policy.html

If a Supplementary Examination is granted as a result of the Special Consideration process, thatexamination will be scheduled after the conclusion of the official examination period.

There is a procedure for appealing against final unit grades and a mechanism for solving problemslike illness during the unit. We refer you to the University Handbook of Undergraduate Studies fordetails and suggest that you discuss these sorts of problems with Simon George in the firstinstance.

Assignments

You will be given specific details of what is expected for the two assignments when you begin eachsection of the class. Generally, the assignments will involve a written report, in which your use ofEnglish and referencing the source of your ideas is important. The assignments will be released toyou in hard copy and on iLearn on the date shown on p. 10, and on the date shown will bediscussed during the practicals.

The two assignments are essay based, so skill at writing essays is important. Each assignmenttopic must be fully researched and the essay written in your own words. Cutting and pastinginformation from web pages is NOT acceptable. Information you do obtain from other sources (briefquotes, images, ideas) must be fully referenced in the text (author, year), with references listed atthe end of the essay (year, author, title, journal or link). See later in the handout for sections onacademic honesty and referencing. Students who fail in these fundamental principles and basicskills may score zero for assignments. All assignments are to be typed, and will be submitted forturnitin checking and grademark assessment through iLearn. You will not need to produce hard



http://www.timetables.mq.edu.au/


copy of these two assignments. The assignments will be due on Tuesdays at 11am.

Macquarie University promotes student awareness of information management and informationethics. As well as training and the provision of general information, the University tackles theissue of plagiarism through use of an online plagiarism detection tool (Turnitin). This software isused in conjunction with a set of procedures to ensure its use is equitable. Turnitin automaticallycompares your work to the work of your classmates, previous students from Macquarie and otheruniversities, and with material available on the Internet, both freely available and in subscription-based electronic journals and books. The results will be sent only to your lecturers (not to you,unless there is a problem), who will analyse these in reference to the University's standard Policyon Plagiarism.

Turnitin Procedure for the two assignments

1. Two Turnitin links have been placed under Themes 1 and 4 on the iLearn page for GEOS204.There are also links in the “Activities” box on the right hand side of the iLearn page.

2. For each assignment when it is due, click the corresponding link, then click “Submit Paper”.

3. Select submission type for your assignment (file upload or text submission). You can copy thetext from your assessment task and paste it into the text box, or you can link to a local file forupload (only one file can be uploaded). Select your name, and write or paste in the assignmenttitle.

4. Note: graphics are not checked and can be left in uploaded files. We suggest you keepgraphics small, as there is a turnitin size limit of 20 Mb. The reference list is also not checked, socan be left in. When you click to submit, you are declaring that it is your own work (no coversheet is needed).

Grademark is a paperless grading system whereby your assignments will be submitted onlineand marked by staff online, and feedback will be given online via electronic comments, custommarks and even by voice comments. The staff/tutors marking will be provided with the exact timeand date of submission, an overlay of the assignment, and access to the originality checker (viathe Turnitin software). Your resulting grades and feedback can be found at the same link in ilearnafter the post date.

We will endeavour to return marked assignments and practical to you within 14-21 days ofsubmission. Please be aware that this is a big class (>60), and we may miss this targetsometimes. If at any time you have reason to query an assignment mark, please contact SimonGeorge by phone or email to arrange a meeting.

Referencing

It is important that you understand how to correctly reference the information you do use, as oftenyou will want to legitimately quote material or ideas from other sources. Information obtained fromany source, including the Internet, is covered by copyright law. You must acknowledge any sourcethat you refer to in your assignment, both within the text of your assignment, and at the end of it (byincluding a list of references). Referencing your sources also enables the reader to view yoursources and follow your essay. Academic conventions and copyright law require that youacknowledge when you use the ideas of others. In most cases, this means stating which book orjournal article is the source of an idea or quotation.

There are two aspects to learn: in-text references and a list of references cited. Please note that forboth the GEOS309 assignments, we insist that you reference using in-text references, with areference list at the end (ie, not with footnotes). This is a common way to do it in many areas ofscience (but not all!), and it reminds you and indicates to the reader what the source is and how oldit is. For GEOS309, please use the Harvard Style of referencing.

There is much information on in-text references and referencing of print and non-print sourcesavailable at:

http://www.mq.edu.au/on_campus/library/research/referencing/

A University of Southern Queensland website also offers lots of specific advice, some repeatedhere:

http://www.usq.edu.au/library/help/referencing/harvard.htm

How to cite references within the text of an assignment:

These are also called in-text references. When you use another's ideas you should immediatelyacknowledge your sources, including in figure or table captions. Always give the surname of theauthor and the date of publication. Use the author-date method of citation for quotations andparaphrasing. Note spelling of et al. (used when 3 or more authors; please remember the fullstop).Note that the in text refs don’t have author initials.

Direct quote: Brown et al. (1990, p. 12) conclude that ‘the depth to the Moho under the oceans is



http://www.mq.edu.au/on_campus/library/research/referencing/

http://www.usq.edu.au/library/help/referencing/harvard.htm

less than under the continents’. Note that for a direct quote the page must be cited.

General acknowledgement of the source of information: “As explained by George andOsborne (2010), biomarkers in fluid inclusions…..”

More specific reference but not a direct quote: “The distribution of Martian volcanism in thehighlands (Johnson, 2011) can be used to infer… etc.”

More general reference to sources: “Most older textbooks in geology (e.g. Peters et al., 1941;Stamp 1938) either ignored the deep ocean basin deposition or……”

Website in text: “Details about PhD scholarships are available from the Macquarie University website <http://www.hdr.mq.edu.au/>.”

How to create a list of references:

At the end of your assignment, create a list of the references you have cited in the text. Arrangethis in alphabetical order of author’s surnames. The author's surname is placed first, followed byinitials or first name, then other authors the same way, and then the year of publication is given.Where an item doesn't have an author, arrange it by its title.

Then the reference needs the paper or book title, journal (if it's a journal article), publisher (if it's abook) or url and date accessed (if it's a web page). The format should follow the Harvard style asdescribed in these links: it is a good guide, and your references should contain the sameinformation.

Please be very careful (a) to put in the reference list every citation from the text (including websites) and any figure/table captions, and (b) to not put in the list references that you have not citedin the text or figure/table captions.
