VMAPP - Volcanic Margin Petroleum Prospectivity (2013 - 2016)

New understanding and training on volcanic margin deposits and processes for higher exploration success in frontier basins worldwide, offering key data examples from the Atlantic Margin of Norway (Vøring - Møre).

Eight companies participated in the first phase (2013 - 2016) of VMAPP.

Deliverables:

  • Five Core Modules (CM) training manuals and associated ppt’s
  • Five Research Modules (RM), pdf reports (9), ppt’s (3), and volcanic petrophysical database
  • VMAPP provided as both a hard copy box set and digital version

A 4 day introduction course/consultancy visit inclusive.

VMAPP2 - Second Phase (2018-2021)

Project aims:
New understanding and opportunities in global volcanic margin petroleum systems building on the VMAPP success

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

Project scope:
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

Deliverables:
