Pre-Conference
From Paleogene contraction to the Neogene extension related to the opening of the Western Mediterranean
| Duration | 1 day |
| Date | 7 April 2013 Pick up from outside the Princesa Sofia Hotel at 8:00am and drop back to the hotel at 6:30pm. |
| Lead by | Eduard Roca and Miguel López |
Summary:
Barcelona urban area is located in the Catalan Coastal Ranges which extend along the Mediterranean coast. The present relief of these ranges, characterized with narrow ranges between elongated depressions, are the result of the superposition of the Neogene extensional basins related to the opening of the Western Mediterranean to a previous thick-skinned contractional system.
Stop 1: Collada de l’Obac (Vacarisses). Overview of the Paleogene syn-contractional south-eastern margin of the Ebro Basin.
Stop 2: Els Caus (Vacarisses). Paleozoic basement overthrusting Ebro basin fill Eocene breccia (The Paleogene Pre-litoral thrust).
Stop 3: Ca N’Estruch Nou (Esparreguera). Eocene syn-contractional growth-strata and related contractional structures.
Stop 4: Colònia Sedó (Esparreguera). Northwestern margin of the Neogene extensional Vallès-Penedès Basin: the Neogene Iberian structural boundary of the Western Mediterranean.
Stop 5: Martorell. Extensional faulting and syn-rift successions in the southeastern margin of the Vallès-Penedès Basin.
Stop 6: Castellbisbal. The Messinian unconformity.
Stop 7: Montjuic (Barcelona). General overview of the present day Mediterranean basin margin and relationships between its extensional structure and the previous Paleogene contractional structure.

Post-Conference
Outcrop analogs of the Gulf of Valencia oil Fields (Western Mediterranean)
| Duration | 1 day |
| Date | 11 April 2013 Pick up from outside the Princesa Sofia Hotel at 7:30am and drop back to the hotel approximately 7:30pm. |
| Lead by | Mateu Esteban |
Who should attend:
Geologists, geophysicist, petrophysicists and reservoir engineers interested in a classic reservoir model applicable in many regions
Summary:
The superb Mesozoic and Miocene outcrops in the Garraf Mountains and Penedés region in NE Spain provide a very close analog to the Amposta, Casablanca and other smaller fields in the Gulf of Valencia. This workshop will focus on the shallow-water, platform interior Jurassic and Cretaceous limestones and dolostones that were intensively karstified prior to the onlapping by marine Miocene skeletal limestones. The horst-and-grabben structural style includes low-angle listric faults that strongly deformed de senile karst profiles in the region. The predominant productive reservoirs are controlled by multi-phase karstification and extensional deformation during Cenozoic. No Mesozoic porosity has survived into the present-day reservoirs. Locally, there is additional production from pervasively dolomitized, onlapping Miocene conglomerates, rhodalgal ramps and fringing coral reefs. Close analogs in terms of stratigraphy, lithologies, structural styles, karst and geomorphology will be visited in the field. Outcrop observations will be complemented as a workshop with extensive subsurface documentation (seismic data, well logs, tests, production histories) and discussions to enhance the applicability to other regions with buried-hill karst reservoirs.
