Recently, Geo Logica in collaboration with IGI Ltd. (https://igiltd.com/news/lusitanian-basin-fieldtrip-portugal) led a stimulating fieldtrip to the Lusitanian Basin (west Portugal).

This on-demand Petroleum Systems field training course was guided by Pedro Barreto and Tiago Cunha.

The group visited a wide-range of outcrops that expose the elements of the Jurassic-Cretaceous petroleum systems in a variety of depositional environments, together with high-quality examples of rift and inversion tectonics, halokinesis and igneous features.

The Lusitanian Basin, although not explored for hydrocarbons, present several outcropping oil accumulations and provides excellent proxies for the Petroleum System of the Central-North Atlantic and the North Sea-Norwegian Sea regions.
