RE:RE:AVO comparison to HAIMARA Results Ok so I am just learning about geology so please correct any of the following: Santonian refers to when the sediments were deposited or thrtime between 86.3 0.7 mya (million years ago) and 83.6 0.7 mya.
. Slump refers to when a pile of sediments got pulled down by gravity filling a basin. So a build up of sandy sediments in the Santonian age got pulled down by gravity to fill a basin.
We know that all of these blocks overlie the Canje source kitchen where all of the hydrocarbons were cooked in. These hydrocarbons got "squished" out of the Canje and moved up through the rocks. The hydrocarbons got trapped in the rocks.
These hydrocarbons were oil and gas liquids like condensate. They got trapped in the Santonian slump. Because nat gas liquids are less dense than oil they will rise to the top. Below the nat gas liquids is the more dense oil. And below the oil is the seawater (brine) that was already in the Santonian.
So you're saying that AVO data tells you that Kawa is located where it is most likely to find oil but at a greater depth becsuse they are at " the toe of the slump".
CGX does talk about a huge stratiographic trap. So if CGX does nail the toe they will take all of Exxon's oil!
