Nick Cameron - - First Exchange Corporation
Giant potential emerges from the Guinea Marginal Plateau (Guinea-Bissau and Guinea)
Talk Description.
The Guinea Marginal Plateau (GMP), the submarine salient of Africa that lobes south-westwards into the Atlantic Ocean from Guinea-Bissau and Guinea, is considered by FEC to widely host mature, Jurassic source rocks. This contribution uses geological and geochemical integration, plus basin modelling to outline the location of these source rocks, which in the south west underlie large closures within older Cretaceous carbonates. Confirmation of the modelling results is provided by examining a piston survey acquired by TDI-Brooks in 2001. The outcome is a significant upgrade in prospectivity. Some 400 kilometres separate the wells drilled to the north of the GMP in Guinea-Bissau from those to the south east in Guinea.
Chief Geologist for First Exchange Corporation and Fortesa International working Mauritania to Guinea. Senior author of Petroleum System reports on the MSGBC Basin and now supplying public domain observations on the regional petroleum geology to the Msgbcfirst.com blog site.
Consultant geologist since 1993 and, outside the environs of the MSGBC Basin, currently active in Angola and East Africa. Previously with Conoco with posts in Jakarta, Luanda, Houston and London. Earlier with the International Division of the British Geological Survey and based in Georgetown (Guyana), Belém (Brasil) and Bandung (Indonesia).

Rob Crossley - Chief Geoscientist - CGG
Data-rich study on the petroleum systems of the Outeniqua Basin
Following his PhD work in the southern part of the Kenya Rift Valley, Rob gained 9 years of experience as a lecturer in the University of Malawi, followed by over 30 years of experience in the oil and gas geoscience services industry.
His geoscience service work started in 1986 with Robertson Research as Sedimentologist, and he has remained with the Robertson team in North Wales throughout, becoming part of the CGG’s Geoscience division in 2013. His early work included reservoir and field unitisation studies in the North Sea, subsurface projects along the West African margin, and outcrop to subsurface work across North Africa.
His role became increasingly petroleum geological, undertaking evaluation and exploration projects across the Middle East, India and the Far East.
He subsequently worked as lead geologist on projects in the Sea of Okhotsk, Korea, Gulf of Thailand, Pakistan, Kazakhstan and the Beaufort Sea. He was involved in helping develop our global source and reservoir prediction services through integration of large data sets by using plate modelling and palaeogeographic mapping to build a framework for modelling palaeoclimate, palaeooceanography and palaeotides.
More recently, he has been working on multiclient projects along the conjugate Atlantic margins of Africa and South America.
