European Regional Conference 2019 - Paratethys Petroleum Systems between Central Europe and the Caspian Region

Occured on 26-27 March 2019
  |  
Vienna, Austria

AAPG Europe Regional Conference on 26-27 March 2019. This event took place in the wonderful city of Vienna in Austria, located in the western segment of what explorers call the Paratethys region of Central/Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

Regional and Topical Themes

This conference concentrated on the petroleum systems of the Paratethys from a hydrocarbon exploration and geoscience perspective. The geographic focus will be on the Pannonian, Black Sea, Caspian Sea basins and various Alpine folded belts and their foredeep/foreland basins in the same region including the Alps, Carpathians, Balkans, Pontides, Crimea and the Caucasus. There are many exploration topics which are unique to the Paratethys region which are captured in the session themes listed below.

Technical Themes
  1. Petroleum systems of the Paratethys: what is proven and what is speculative?
  2. The Maykop Formation and its equivalents in the Paratethys: a regional overview
  3. Sequence stratigraphy in the Paratethys and correlation issues with the global stages
  4. Improving the stratigraphic resolution within the Paratethys
  5. The signature of the Messinian sea-level drop in the Paratethys
  6. Paleogeographic changes in the Paratethys related to the evolution of marine connections
  7. Case studies of application of geochemistry and basin modelling in the Paratethys region
  8. The folded belts of the Paratethys: case studies from the Alps to the Caucasus
  9. Unconventional exploration targets in the Paratethys region
  10. Yet-to-find studies in various parts of the Paratethys

Upcoming Europe Events

Field Seminar
Krakow, Poland
Thursday, 30 May – Friday, 31 May 2024, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

Surface seeps of oil and exhalations of methane have been known in the Northern Outer Carpathians for centuries. During this field trip, key localities will be visited, including frontal deformed part of the thrust belt accessible in the world-famous Wieliczka salt mine, and outcrops located within more internal thrust sheets (nappes).

Field Seminar
Palermo, Italy
Thursday, 25 April 2024, 8:00 a.m.–9:00 a.m.

This one-day field trip will provide an introduction to a Miocene-Pliocene succession of southern Sicily, which includes outcrops of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC), as well as the Messinian-Zanclean GSSP (Global Boundary Stratotype Sections and Point) and Zanclean stratotype. The MSC sedimentary record consists of an evaporitic-carbonate unit at the base (the Basal Limestone), overlain the Lower Gypsum unit, in turn overlain by the Upper Gypsum unit, and sealed by transgressive chalk deposits of the Trubi Fm. The Lower Gypsum unit (massive gypsum with cm-sized selenite crystals) will be visited along the beach of Siculiana Marina (about 15 km NW of Agrigento). Next, we will visit near Capo Rossello (about 10 km NW of Agrigento) an outcrop of the Upper Gypsum unit consisting of clay-gypsum cycles and overlain by the Trubi Fm. The latter, at Scala dei Turchi beach, consists of chalk deposits arranged in a spectacular thick succession (~120 m thick) interpreted as astronomically-controlled depositional cycles. The uppermost interval of the MSC sedimentary record, including the Messinian-Zanclean GSSP, will be observed along the beach of Eraclea Minoa located about 20 km NW of Capo Rossello.

Workshop
Palermo, Italy
Monday, 22 April – Wednesday, 24 April 2024, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

This Symposium marks a collaborative event that brings together AAPG Europe and AAPG Middle East, with a central focus on carbonates and mixed carbonate systems worldwide, while highlighting their significance within these two regions. The primary objectives are an overview of controls that govern the evolution of these systems in time and space and the characterization and prediction of their properties across scales.
