Project group:
VBER, DougalEARTH and TGS with long and complimentary experience in petroleum exploration of volcanic margins and volcanic basins world-wide

Project aims:
New understanding and opportunities in global volcanic margin petroleum systems  

Audience:
Petroleum companies exploring rifted margins and volcanic basins - targeted information for explorers, seismic processors, petrophysicists, basin modelers, and drilling engineers

Project scope:
Understanding of volcanic margin deposits and processes for higher exploration success in frontier basins worldwide. 

  • Interactive global database of volcanic basins, discoveries, and fields

  • Regional volcanic basin modules including basin architecture, igneous petroleum  systems analysis, and play concepts

  • Improved volcanic basin exploration and development strategies

  • Frontier scientific research targeting volcanic basin prospectivity challenges

What is provided:
Interactive global volcanic basin database, Basin and Research modules, in-house presentations and training.

5 Core Modules (CM): training manuals and associated ppt’s

10 Research Modules (RM): Frontier research focusing on outstanding volcanic prospectivity issues. Volcanic basin seismic interpretation and igneous related reservoirs

Regional Basin Modules (BM): Global volcanic basins classification and development with mapping of igneous discoveries. Definition of volcanic play types and outcrop analogues 

Additional activities; Field trips, consulting, in-house training and workshops

Basin Modules:

Map of the world showing regions with sedimentary basins in yellow and prospective volcanic basins in orange, with areas of mafic LIPs/rifted margins in red. Key locations and their associated geological ages are labeled.

Research Modules:

Cover page of a scientific publication featuring an erupting volcano with text overlays listing research modules on basalt sediment transition, sill maturation modeling, and Norwegian margin crustal transect thermal modeling, along with logos of VMAPP and affiliated organizations.

Core Modules:

Collection of five geological or volcanic system textbooks with cover images of volcanoes, eruptions, and volcanic landscapes labeled CM1 to CM5, with titles related to volcanic systems, seismic activity, and petroleum systems, published in 2016.
