Basin-scale, high-resolution three-dimensional facies modeling of tectonically confined turbidites: An example from the Firenzuola system (Marnoso-arenacea Formation, northern Apennines, Italy)

High-resolution outcrop analog studies provide ideal opportunities to test and develop approaches for reservoir-scale facies modeling. Detailed studies carried out in the outcropping area of collisional margins can be used as analogs of subsurface reservoirs with similar geologic settings.

Oil distribution in outcropping carbonate-ramp reservoirs (Maiella Mountain, Central Italy): Three-dimensional models constrained by dense historical well data and laboratory measurements

Heavy oil and bitumens have been exploited in Italy during the past, in particular over the Maiella Mountain’s northwest flank (Central Italy), where relatively undeformed hydrocarbon-bearing ramp carbonate reservoirs of the Bolognano Formation crops out.

'Part of the DNA'

When this year’s Michel T. Halbouty Outstanding Leadership Award winner Bernard Christian Duval was younger, he dreamed of becoming a pilot – preferably a fighter pilot, but then discovered he was colorblind; thus, he had to give up his first love. His second love worked out all right, though. Duval, who started his career in 1968 and spent most of it at Total, discovered geology during a summer internship in Morocco, and while he soon realized that geologists, too, need to see color, he discovered there are ways to compensate, to adjust, to find other ways around the obstacles – an adaptation that has served him well throughout his career.

The Next Big Leap

Oil and gas companies have spent years cleaning up and formatting their huge datasets for processing. When that cleanup work is done, the industry will be able to apply machine learning, artificial intelligence and Big Data techniques to extract information and improve operations. And maybe even make exploration discoveries.

The Emergence of the Helium Industry

Little more than a novelty when first discovered, helium has become a key commodity. It is used extensively in medical cryogenics, analytical and lab applications, breathing mixtures, as a lift gas, for arc welding, leak detection and, contrary to popular belief, only a little is used to inflate party balloons. There are few substitutes for helium and so, as its applications have become more common, demand has grown and supply is struggling to match demand.
