On Wednesday, October 18, Roberto M. Hernández, Esq., delivered a lecture titled “Understanding Time in Geosciences, Applied to Petroleum Systems in the Central Andes: Reducing Exploration Risk – La Te Andes S.A.” Organized by the Geological Society of Peru as part of the “Geological Wednesdays” series, the lecture took place in the institution’s auditorium.
The focus of the lecture was on La.Te. Andes’ proposal as a means to resolve the timing of the Central Andes petroleum system, emphasizing the variables of the petroleum system that remain unknown or unresolved.
“The knowledge recently gained through deep drilling in Argentina and Bolivia has led to new insights into what we do and do not know about the petroleum system, particularly regarding the spatial and temporal distribution of processes related to both pre-Andean and Andean tectonics, rock rheology, and the inapplicability of geometric models in light of the new data.
To address these issues, GEOMAP and CONICET decided to create a new system for transferring geoscience knowledge to the oil and gas industry, taking into account the demands and tight deadlines inherent in oil contracts. This process resulted in the creation of LATE ANDES S.A., supported by Argentina’s Ministry of Science, Technology, and Productive Innovation.”
