This study attempted to define the difference in oil saturation index of different lithofacies within meter-scale cycles, characterize oil indicators of different lithofacies, and evaluate the effect of meter-scale cycles on oil storage capacity and oil saturation in the Wolfcamp A.

A play from western Canada and one from New Mexico produce from carrier beds that serve as migration pathways for oil in conventional reservoirs. Carrier beds typically have lower porosity and permeability associated with facies changes. Lower permeability, however, is no longer a barrier to production.

Reservoir characterization of unconventional reservoirs of the Cardium Formation along the western margin of the legacy Pembina oil pool in central Alberta is explored in this paper. These halo plays represent portions of conventional light oil pools that do not meet traditional petrophysical cutoffs and pay criteria.

William Herbert Hunt passed away on April 9, 2024, at the age of 95, in Dallas, Texas. Described as an “iconic wildcatter” by industry peers, Hunt was the founder of Dallas-based Petro-Hunt, one of the top 10 privately-owned oil producers in the United States. He was an emeritus member of AAPG’s Corporate Advisory Board up until his passing, a winner of AAPG’s Pioneer Award and an AAPG member since 1953.

Abstracts from more than 50 papers addressing the geology of the area from the southern onshore of North America to the northern onshore of South America, including the Gulf of Mexico, Bahamas Platform, Yucatán, Caribbean (Colombia, Venezuela), Grenada and Tobago basins and adjacent Atlantic. Integration will improve understanding and promote investigation of lesser-explored/debated areas, such as the Caribbean. Recent seismic and drilling discoveries from other offshore frontiers will help assessment of their hydrocarbon potential.
