Dr. Carlos Giraldo reviews essential considerations for the structural interpretation in Malay, Sarawak, and Sabah basins for exploration blocks offered for Malaysian Bid Round in 2021. He explains why the integration of 1- geodynamic modeling, 2- seismicity data, 3- stress field analysis, 4- think and thick skin deformation study, 5- seismic interpretation, and 6- outcrop fieldwork, is required for a valid regional structural interpretation.
Dr. Juan Francisco Arminio shares some stories from his 30+ years-long career in the oil and gas industry and academia. He explains why creativity is important in solving geotechnical problems and how to make use of large volumes of data.
Dr John Pantano shares his experience from different mine planning, management, and reclamation projects he has completed over the years. John is known for his broad experience in oil and gas, mining, and the environmental industries designing geotechnical solutions, using digital modeling, and testing them in the field. He is a big advocate of project delivery applying "learning by doing" rather than strictly digital modeling of the solutions.
U3Explore is now one year old, and here are the highlights of our first year. U3 stands for Unlocked, Untold, Unfiltered stories of people with exploratory mindsets. These people have analytical and determined personalities. They like to collect information and figure out the meaning of their observations. They are proactive in preserving and communicating years of institutional knowledge in the integrated project delivery.
El curso: Los estilos estructurales predominantes en las cuencas sedimentarias. Los tipos de deformaciones estructurales asociados a la tectónica salina y de arcillas. Conceptos relacionados con la evolución de las cuencas: del rift al drift y las cuencas antepais.
During our Virtual Panel conversation on the formats and the challenges of external collaboration and participation in virtual industry meetings and networking in 2020 led us to discover a new term: participants of the virtual industry conferences found that they are missing an "accidental discovery" that occurred during in-person large scale events.
Want to learn about a project aimed at creating an accurate and reliable digital knowledge repository with information on Venezuela's oil & gas resources? In June 2020 U3 Explore team took a trip to Miami to visit our lead subject matter experts in our work on the geology of Venezuela
Want to learn about a project aimed at creating an accurate and reliable digital knowledge repository with information on Venezuela's oil & gas resources? In June 2020 U3 Explore team took a trip to Miami to visit our lead subject matter experts in our work on the geology of Venezuela. The matter is urgent especially in the current situation with Covid-19
José Lázaro Jefe Ejecutivo de eMan para Norteamérica, explica cómo PetroXP puede ayudar desde el punto de vista tecnológico y de innovación a las compañías y cuáles oportunidades tecnológicas pudieran implementarse en la industria de Petróleo y Gas para optimizar costos, mejorar la eficiencia en operaciones, crear una mejor conectividad de los procesos y optimizar las comunicaciones?
Why Pore Pressure Prediction is important? What is the final product? How is the product used? - The passion that I have for my profession has made it easy for me to share my wealth of knowledge with others by way of serving as a technical reviewer for the Society of Exploration Geophysicist (SEG) publication as well as performing as a technical trainer, lecturer, and instructor of related topics in geosciences with younger professionals and newly graduated employees.

Dr. Carlos Giraldo integrates structural geology concepts, geodynamics, seismicity, stress field analysis, field geology, and seismic interpretation, validating structural models for exploration blocks in Malay, Sarawak, and Sabah basins offered for Malaysian Bid Round 2021
Dr. Juan Francisco Arminio shares his experience and insights in finding new plays and developing new ideas exploring old plays in mature petroleum basins. He examines the development history of the Lake Maracaibo basin and the evolution of the geotechnical understanding of the petroleum plays in the region
For companies contemplating a Basin Entry, whether it is a basin previously unexplored or a basin new to the company, a number of key questions come to the fore: Why? Does it fit with our corporate growth strategy and risk profile? Do we have a differentiated insight into the basin? Do we think it aligns with our capital exposure thresholds? How? Minimal Entry Cost/Later Expansion? Partner or Solo? How will we improve the likelihood of success (see “differentiated insights”)? What does success look like, or on the flip side When do we Know we have Failed? What is our dry hole tolerance? Basin and play exploration are inherently governed by the management of risk and uncertainty at the portfolio level. Exploration investment decisions biased by risk-averse teams are susceptible to first-order basin statistics which may reflect a historical “poor” exploration history and exhaustion of existing play concepts. New concepts, new models, new thinking, and consideration of alternatives often result in a paradigm shift despite previous negative results. We will review the Suriname-Guyana basin case study to discuss the required understanding of geology that leads to exploration success. We will share our experiences with acreage selection processes we have witnessed and participated in while working for a variety of E&P companies and examine how, by learning from the past as objectively as possible, we can improve the likelihood of a successful outcome.
This is a quick technology tour that covers the fundamentals of QI and Pore Pressure Prediction (PPP). The concepts and workflows are briefly presented and their potential benefits during prospecting for oil and gas and appraisal of the reservoirs are discussed. This webinar is part of the formal training and is included in the introductory module of a complete Pore Pressure course offered within the catalog of the courses on the U3 Explore platform. Some of the items of discussion during this webinar are: Seismic data conditioning for QI & PP EEI as feasibility tool before Seismic Inversion Lithological Substitution Deterministic & Stochastic Inversions PP modeling Rock Strength and Pore Pressure
This webinar is designed for all levels of geospatial awareness. It is a perfect first step to get introduced to the definition of the geospatial datasets for synthesis and analysis; cartographic principles and generalizations for effective communication and/or analysis; follow modification of information precision and accuracy requirements through the lifecycle of the project. Modern maps could be designed as dynamic tools to be used as a query-enabled spatial database for geospatial analysis and visual communication.
Presentation at virtual session U3Explore. Author- Francia Galea Alvarez in collaboration with Irene Truskowski and Marel Sanchez- reviews oil and gas opportunities in the Eastern Venezuelan basin. She addresses the key value drivers in this super-giant basin to support Venezuela’s economic development of natural resources.
Juan Francisco Arminio discusses Oil and gas opportunities assessments in the Maracaibo basin. He focuses on key value drivers in this super-giant basin sharing his experience and knowledge of the subject. The efforts are aimed to create an accurate and reliable digital record of knowledge to support future Venezuela’s economic development of natural resources in the basin.
