<p>We summarize the results of a 7 years study of the sediment routing systems of the West African Craton transporting its erosional products to the Central and Equatorial Atlantic passive margins at geological time scale. We used paleogeograhic maps to define the geodynamics framework of this routing system with in particular the propagation of the Equatorial Atlantic oblique rift separating the West African and Amazonian Cratons. We used sub-surface data to evaluate the evolution of lithosphere necking distribution along the conjugated African and South American margins of the rift system. We estimated the long-term denudation pattern at continental scale from low temperature thermochronology measures of samples from 3 transects perpendicular to the Atlantic margin. We used the exceptional preservation of geomorphologic markers to reconstruct the drainage system of the craton since 45 Ma, and estimate the associated denudation and exports of terrigeneous sediments to the Atlantic margin. Finally, we estimated the accumulation history in the passive margin basins and compare them with the estimated denudation histories from thermal histories and geomorphologic markers. We show that the modes of preservation of sedimentary export in the passive margin basins are highly variable in time (immediate post roft versus late post-rift) and space (transform/oblique versus divergent margin segments). We show that the present day drainage of the West African Craton as been stable since 30 Ma when it underwent a major reorganization driven by the growth of the relief associated with the Hoggar mantle plume. We show that accumulation in the passive margin basins fall within the same order of magnitude than denudation on the craton at the scale of the Meso-Cenozoic. This allows us to argue to the relevance of using the stratigraphic architecture of passive margin basins to estimate the denudation history of their continental domains.</p>

AbstractThe paper is aimed at the basin and petroleum system modeling in the conjunction zone of the Alexander and Srednevasyugan anticlines and Ust-Tym depression during the Mesozoic-Cenozoic time. The exploration area is located in the southeastern part of the West Siberian hydrocarbon province. The present research primarily identifies the oil-window-entry time, maturity, generation points, generation power, and remaining potential of the Togur and Bazhenov source rocks. The Togur oil-window-entry time is 139.5 Ma. The Bazhenov oil-window-entry time is 99 Ma. Liquid hydrocarbons are extensively generated by the source rocks at the present time, since the Togur and Bazhenov Formations are found to be in the oil window. The significant amount of generated hydrocarbons is lost in migration processes. The source rock generation power and remaining potential are 1.1 and 1.5 billion tons of hydrocarbons, respectively.

AbstractThe Schiehallion subsea development comprises two fields, Schiehallion and Loyal, which are located approximately 200 km to the west of the Shetland Islands in the UK Continental Shelf. The Schiehallion and Loyal fields were discovered in late 1993 and 1994, respectively, with a combined oil-in-place of more than 2.3 Bbbl. The fields are developed under waterflood and were on production from 1998 to 2013. After an extended shut-in, the fields were brought back on line in 2017, through new floating production facilities.Most of the production to date has been from the Paleocene Vaila Formation deep-water turbidite, in the T31 and T34 reservoir intervals. The ongoing Quad 204 redevelopment drilling programme commenced in April 2015, has drilled and completed 21 wells to date, and is expected to continue for several more years. The campaign includes new producer–injector pairs and stand-alone wells to support existing well stock, targeting stacked turbidite reservoir intervals, including the youngest T35–T34 interval, the main T31 interval and the previously under-developed T28–T25 fairway.In addition to an active drilling programme, a 4D seismic survey was acquired and processed in 2018, and its interpretation is key to unlocking further potential sources of value in this mature field.
