The Petroleum Systems of Saharan Africa
The Saharan conference (pdf), was held at the Geological society, London, co convened by the North Africa Research Group, and the Geological Society Petroleum Group. The 2 day event was a great success with over 110 attendees, and a waiting list on top of that! All talks were warmly received and general opinion suggested they were enjoyed as well. The 7 sessions included;
- Regional Perspectives
- Understanding Petroleum migration, (Basin studies 1 and 2)
- Developments in Stratigraphy
- Tectonic Controls on Petroleum Systems
- Reservoir Architecture and Depositional models
- Developments in exploration
- Trapping styles and Play types
Talks by the North Africa Research Group included;
- 3D modeling of continental mixed fluvial/aeolian systems integrating "LIDAR" digital outcrop images with high resolution sedimentology of fluvial facies: Upper Triassic, High Atlas, Morocco.
- Hydrocarbon Maturation history of the Ghadames Basin, North Africa: The influence of Exhumation and Erosion.
- Complex controls on facies architecture of Upper Triassic fluvio-aeolian sandstone reservoirs in NW Africa: lessons learned from outcrop studies in Morocco (Argana Valley) in comparison to subsurface data from Algeria.
- Mass - transport - complex and Channel - Levee system interaction: Examples from the offshore Nile Delta.
The conference drew people from exploration and production companies in the region, together with leading academic institutions and consultancy groups.
