You are invited to prepare an e-poster for presentation at the virtual workshop.
Poster Abstract Template
Due to the ongoing travel restrictions and differing guidelines from companies and organizations, the AAPG Decision Based Integrated Reservoir Modeling GTW will now be taking place virtually from 1 – 4 February 2021 and then on-demand anytime, from anywhere, and from any device for the next 2 months. The workshop will provide the best opportunity to safely connect with industry colleagues and peers while travel restrictions, social distancing, and health concerns persist. The new dynamic all-digital platform makes it simple for you to access all the great science, networking, and technology to help you stay on the cutting edge of petroleum geoscience. Our businesses and industry are experiencing difficult times, but overcoming obstacles is what explorers do – so let’s do it together.
The oil and gas industry supplies a market that has been volatile, more so in the last decade. Between competing suppliers, global financial troubles and a global pandemic, oversupply and erosion of demand have become mainstay. The industry needs to demonstrate that it can maintain the value creation proposition in the face of fluctuating hydrocarbon prices. Adopting new strategies to better characterize the subsurface, increase recovery, drive down development costs and maximize product value through the use of discipline integration, field optimization, as well as implementation of cutting-edge technologies is now a must for the industry. Subsurface to surface integration offers a better strategy when chasing new oil and gas resources with high cost and long development time or enhancing the performance of mature fields. Improvements in existing optimization workflows and practices in both conventional and unconventional field development will prove effective at driving down costs by utilizing multi-disciplinary approaches in the integration of processes.
The objective of the workshop to drive a further discussion of integration processes between geoscience, engineering, and technology deployment through examining the industry’s case studies across multiple disciplines. The workshop also aims to highlight the improvements made in the topic over the last two years across both conventional and unconventional field development.
The workshop will attract experts from various disciplines to talk and share their experience and knowledge in topics covering:
Field Trip Organizer: Geological Society of Oman Field Trip Leader: Husam Al Rawahi Date: 21 February 2021 Time: 12.30 – 14.30 (GST / GMT+4) Fee: $55 Member / $65 Non-member
The Al Khawd Formation is a siliciclastic deposit of the late Cretaceous age exposed in the Muscat area. This formation unconformably overlies a spectacular ophiolite succession, which includes deep-oceanic sediments, intrusives and volcanics. The Al Khawd Formation is mainly composed of conglomerates featuring ophiolite, chert, carbonate and quartzite pebbles derived from the Semail ophiolite itself, the Hawasina imbricates and the Al Hajar Mountains. Abundant fossilised wood and even fragments of dinosaur, turtle and crocodile bones can be found in the Al Khawd Formation in these areas. In this vitual fieldtrip, we will focus on the erosion and sedimentation patterns in the period following ophiolite obduction and the ophiolite sequence in Muscat.

The Oman Ophiolites is an assemblage of the neo-tethys oceanic crust and upper mantle (igneous) rocks and associated sedimentary rocks scraped off the top of neo-tethys ocean floor. The Oman ophiolites emplacement on top of northern Oman mountains started in about the Turonian time (~90 Ma) and was concluded during the Campanian time (~80Ma). This emplacement of the Oman ophiolites was part of a regional closure of the neo-tethys ocean. Oman ophiolite displacement is estimated to have moved ~400km away from its original location below sea floor. This presentation is aimed at taking you in a virtual fieldtrip to zoom into a window in the geological history of northern Oman mountains, specifically the Oman ophiolite emplacement period. We will virtually visit different outcrops of the Oman ophiolites that tells the emplacement process story.
