Salt Tectonics and Halokinetic Sequences Concepts in the Onshore Lusitanian Basin (Portugal)
Date: 22 - 25 Oct. 2024
Start Time: 09:00 BST
Location: Lusitanian Basin, Portugal
Join instructor, Pedro Barreto, from 22-25 October and gain first-hand insights into salt-related deformation and sedimentation processes, directly applicable to reservoir properties, hydrocarbon accumulations, geothermal potential, and CCUS projects.
This field-based course offers an in-depth exploration of salt tectonics and its interactions with sedimentary processes, focusing on the unique geology of the onshore Lusitanian Basin. Participants will gain hands-on experience and insights into the implications of salt-related deformation on reservoir properties, hydrocarbon accumulations, geothermal potential, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) on upturned salt diapir flanks. Participants will observe in the field structural and sedimentary features that are usually only visible on seismic and/or drill cores. The outcrops will be compared with seismic examples from Lusitanian and Peniche Basins, perfect for understanding tectono-sedimentary structures at different scales, while allowing observation of sub-seismic scale features that are only visible on outcrops.
Business Impact: Attendees will gain first-hand insights into salt-related deformation and sedimentation processes, directly applicable to reservoir properties, hydrocarbon accumulations, geothermal potential, and CCUS projects. This immersive experience equips them with advanced skills, reducing operational risks and optimizing resource management.
Participants will learn to:
- Outline fundamental salt tectonics concepts.
- Recognize the structural and sedimentad CCUS potential on salt diapir flanks.
- Assess the role of salt bodies in geothery features associated with salt diapirs.
- Analyze halokinetic sequences and their impact on sedimentation and reservoir properties.
- Evaluate hydrocarbon accumulations anrmal gradient and fluid flow.
This course is essential for professionals working in salt basins, as it enhances understanding of salt tectonics' impact on seismic interpretation, sedimentation, reservoir properties, hazard prediction during drilling, CCUS, geothermal energy, and more.
