Annual Review Meeting

Invitation to the

2018 Annual Review Meeting and Field Trip

The annual review meeting of the CSL – Center for Carbonate Research will be held October 15-16, 2018 in Miami at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) on Virginia Key. During the annual review, we will report the results of the ongoing projects and discuss the planned projects for the coming year. A list of the projects covered during the meeting is listed in the meeting program section below.

This year’s field trip (October 17-21, 2018) will be to the Bahamas. The objectives of the field trip are to 1) illustrate the depositional characteristics and dimensions of facies belts across an isolated platform; 2) relate variable accommodation space and facies heterogeneities to reservoir models; and 3) improve the interpretation of subsurface core, log and seismic data of carbonate systems. The cost of the field trip is $5,400.00. This includes transportation to and from the Bahamas, all ground transportation, onboard boat accommodations in the Bahamas, meals and course notes.

Annual Review Meeting - October 15-16, 2018

The meeting will begin at 8:30 AM on Monday, October 15^th in the seminar room at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science (RSMAS), 4600 Rickenbacker Causeway. The seminar room is in the Science/Administration Bldg., Room 103 (follow signs). We will not be providing transportation to the meeting. The review meeting will end at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, October 16^th.

In the afternoon of October 16^th, there will be an introduction to the field trip and a Core Workshop. We will be showing key cores from Unda and Clino drilled on western Great Bahama Bank that ties directly to the field trip. We also will display cores from the Vaca Muerta Formation that were collected in the outcrops in the Neuquén Basin in Argentina.

Field Trip – October 17-21, 2018

Please extend your hotel reservation in Miami for departure on October 17^th. The field trip participants will fly to Bimini, Bahamas where they will board the R/V Coral Reef II. The field trip ends late afternoon (5-6 PM) on Sunday, October 21^st at Miami International Airport.

Please arrive in Miami on the evening of October 14^th. The University of Miami has a special corporate rate with several hotels in Coconut Grove. We recommend you make a reservation at the Sonesta Bayfront Hotel Coconut Grove:

Registration

Please register for the meeting and the field trip by e-mail or phone as soon as possible with Karen Neher. Her email address is kneher@rsmas.miami.edu and her phone number is (305) 421-4684. It is especially important to make the field trip reservation as soon as possible as we have space for only 11 participants on the R/V Coral Reef II.

Registration deadline for the field trip is Friday, August 10, 2018.

Registration for the meeting is Friday, September 14, 2018.

We hope to see many of you at the meeting.

	Field Trip: October 17-21, 2018 We were able to reserve the RV Coral Reef for 5 days after the annual review meeting. Thus, this year’s field trip will be to the Great Bahama Bank. Figure 1: Satellite image of the Florida Bahamas region with the route of the field trip in orange and the field stops in green Xs. This 5-day seminar explores the vertical and lateral facies successions and heterogeneities of Great Bahama Bank. As modern analogs, the facies belts on Great Bahama Bank display the depositional heterogeneities that may occur in ancient hydrocarbon reservoirs. We explore the spatial heterogeneity within a carbonate platform, a facies belt or individual facies bodies, while simultaneously exploring the fundamental controlling processes. Dimensions and lateral variability of classic reservoir facies are examined during the seminar. Field stops include the leeward platform margin (Cat Cay ooid shoal), the platform interior, the tidal flats of Andros, the ooid shoals of Joulters Cay, patch reefs, and the Andros Island barrier reef. Pleistocene outcrops on Bahamian islands show how these facies are preserved in the ancient rock record. The objectives are to: Illustrate the depositional characteristics and dimensions of facies belts across an isolated platform. Relate variable accommodation space and facies heterogeneities to reservoir models. Improve the interpretation of subsurface core, log and seismic data of carbonate systems. Cost: $5,400. -, Includes transportation to and from the Bahamas, all ground transportation, onboard boat accommodation in the Bahamas, meals and course notes are included.
