The Gulf of Mexico is a world class prolific hydrocarbon system. As a result of recent energy reform the Mexican sector of this basin has been open to international companies for the first time through a series of competitive licence rounds. The first phase of drilling on these newly awarded permits has resulted in the discovery of giant hydrocarbon accumulations in the Mexican offshore sector. Geologically, the offshore and onshore basins of Mexico offer a diverse range of play types with multiple source / reservoir pairs and are characterised by complex tectonic evolution with associated halokinesis and shale tectonics.
More widely within the Northern Caribbean region, exploration activities are ongoing in several countries targeting both proven and frontier petroleum systems. Some of these play elements are potential extensions of the proven systems in Mexico. While geologically complex, these areas have the potential to emerge as major hydrocarbon basins.
An excellent series of abstracts have been submitted for the conference which have been arranged into the following themed sessions - Mexico Regional Tectonics, Mexican Basins - Sureste, Campeche, Burgos, Perdido Basins, Onshore Basins, Northern Caribbean Regional Tectonics, Northern Caribbean Basins Reservoir Distribution, Petroleum Systems and Salt Tectonics with the following Keynote Presentations:
The committee look forward to you joining us on the 14-16th May 2019 for what promises to be a stimulating conference on the petroleum geology of the region.
