STRATIGRAPHY AND EVOLUTION OF THE TERTIARY ARUBA BASIN
E.A. Curet*
 *Directie Energiezaken, Caya Betico Croes 90, Oranjestad, Aruba
Copyright 1992 SCIENTIFIC PRESS LTD
ABSTRACT
The Aruba Basin (offshore Venezuela) is asymmetric, with the basin axis aligned parallel to, and just to the south of the Aruba uplift. The sedimentary section consists mostly of clays and shales, deposited since the Oligence, or possibly late Eocene, on a Crataceous basement of oceanic affinity. This monotonous lithology makes it difficult to compile a useful stratigraphic subdivision, but three seismic-stratigraphic units separated by unconformities have been distinguished, and are known as the Lower, Middle and Upper Sequences.

Sedimentation began in abyssal-to-bathyal depths, after the rapid subsidence of a weathered, volcanic terrain; the rate of sedimentation exceeded that of subsidence, causing a gradual shallowing of the sea-floor. The sedimentation rate during deposition of the Middle Sequence was sufficiently high to prevent normal compaction, thus causing a thick zone of abnormally high pressures. Deformation by faulting as well as folding was contemporaneous with sedimentaion and subsidence.

The main source area for the sediments lies to the south; the Aruba High has acted prinicpally as a sediment trap. On the north flank of the basin, some (bio-)clastic contribution from the island may be expected.

The type of organic matter in sediments penetrated by the three wells off shore Aruba, as determined by pyrolysis, is mostly gas-prone Type III kerogen. The TOC is fairly low—1% on average; but microscopic inspection revealed that a high percentage of the organic matter consists of amarphous kerogen. Due to the low geothermal gradient (1 F/100 ft), this organic matter is immature. Another drawback for the development of petroleum accumulations if the limited areal distribution of carrier and reservoir rocks. These two factors seriously restrict the petroleum potential of the Aruba Basin

However, there are indications from which the generation of petroleum can be deduced. In the deeper parts of the basin to the south of the island, sufficiently high temperatures may have been reached for Oligocene and older, sediments to be within the "oil window"; and the platform area in the SW may be underlain by older, more mature sediments. Further exploration on the north flank of the Aruba Basin and on the SW is considered to be justified, based on the inferred presence there of both source and reservoir rocks.

Lukoil VP: No Immediate Interest In Valero Aruba Refinery4-7-09 1:00 PM EDT | E-mail Article | Print ArticleNEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Russian oil company OAO Lukoil Holdings (LKOH.RS) said Tuesday that it had no immediate interest in buying Valero Energy Corp.'s (VLO) refinery on the island of Aruba.

 
"We're not interested," Lukoil vice president Leonid Fedun told reporters following a meeting with investors.

Fedun said the asset would make a better fit with Lukoil's operations if the Russian major had a crude stream from Venezuela to refine.

Lukoil is currently in talks with Venezuela on finalizing a production venture, but output probably won't start "for many years," Fedun said.

{Hotping - didn't you find this one?  One of my all-time favorites!}


Aruba: Gateway to Caribbean and Latin America, Invites Indian Businessmen, Tourists
Wednesday, December 12, 2007

Mumbai (12/12/2007) - Mr. Nelson Oduber, Prime Minister of the island nation of Aruba, an autonomous state in the Kingdom of Netherlands, has invited Indian businessmen, investors and tourists to his country.




Mr. Oduber addressed an interactive meeting organised in his honour at Hotel Hilton Towers, Mumbai by the Indian Merchants' Chamber on December 12. The Consul General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Mr. Hans Ramaker, introduced Mr. Oduber and other Ministers and officials of his delegation.

Welcoming the distinguished guests, IMC President Mr. Niraj Bajaj complimented Prime Minister Mr. Oduber for leading his country to prosperity in the past 18 years of his office. “With a per capita income of over $28,000, the nation of Aruba has few parallels in the world,” he said.

Prime Minister Mr. Oduber said that the population of Aruba – a 70 sq. mile island – was around 60,000 in 1986 and had now risen to well over 120,000. “Our tiny country with its beautiful beaches attracts over two million tourists annually,” he said.

Mr Oduber said that he aimed to make his country “Dubai of the Caribbean and Gateway of Latin America.”

As such, the 19.6 mile long, 6 mile wide island nation had built three major ports, an international airport which could take large aircraft and exclusive airport for private aircrafts, a free trade zone, top class educational, healthcare and hotel facilities and all such modern infrastructure.

Mr. Oduber invited Indian businessmen to set up bases in the Free Trade Zone of his country, add value to their products and re-export them to the US, Latin American and European countries.

Mr. Oduber said his country had its own central banking system, Parliamentary form of governance and an independent judiciary. Aruban island nation, situated off the coast of Venezuela in South America, was engaged in its coastal waters for offshore drilling for oil and was hopeful of finding rich deposits as in Venezuela and Columbia.

Though the backbone of Aruban economy was tourism, it was also a major base for refining and exporting oil.
In addition, Aruba also exported huge quantity of coffee, rice, sugar and whiskey to Europe and other western countries.

The invitation by IMC President Bajaj to visit Mumbai was presented to H.E. the Prime Minister in June by Mr Dinesh N. Joshi, Vice-Chairman of the IMC Infrastructure Committee and Indian partner of InCar Group.

Lifesong & Hotping,

I spent time yesterday, and again today checking out things on Jen's list. I found an article today dated 1/29/2009 about Geolab.  There is a mention of it being part of the Diamar Group....which I couldn't find anything on....just thought I'd mention it. 

http://www.energydigital.com/GeoLab--Your-first-call_13348.aspx

Also found a few things yesterday, but not sure they are leading anywhere, yet.

Edit to add I think it may be Diamar Spa, shipowners, transport, etc., located in Naples.

Chavez Says 'Empire's' Navy Doesn't Intimidate Him

Could it be that Washington is trying to intimidate Venezuela with large-scale naval maneuvers in the Caribbean Sea? According to this article from Venezuela's Cadena Global, President Hugo Chavez said, 'We aren't afraid of the Paper Empire!,' and 'We are preparing ourselves' for America's attempt to 'enslave us.'
Translated By Paula van de Werken

May 7, 2006
Venezuela - Cadena Global - Original Article (Spanish)   

 

Aircraft Carrier USS George Washington,
Now Taking Part in Naval Exercises That Venezuela
Says are Meant to Intimidate It. (above).

------------------------------------------------------------------
During his Sunday "Hello President [Alo Presidente]" program, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez maintained that the purpose of the American military presence in the Caribbean is to "intimidate" his Government, and he warned that the "Bolivarian Revolution isn't afraid of the Empire." Chavez also announced that he would push forward a legal reform to increase taxes paid for the extraction of  oil.

 

Hugo Chavez: Just
Because You're Paranoid,
Doesn't Mean They're Not
Out to Get You ...

-----------------------------"There are 6,000 sailors in the Caribbean and I don't know how many aircraft carriers and submarines. Just because they sail around the Caribbean with fleets they feel like putting there, they aren't going to threaten us, they aren't going to frighten us, we aren't afraid of the Paper Empire!" Chavez declared.

The Venezuelan ruler argued that the presence of the United States Ambassador to Caracas, William Brownfield, "onboard and outfitted by the fleet,"  shows that "those military maneuvers taking place right here under our noses, are meant to threaten us."

Brownfield has rejected claims that his country's military maneuvers in the Caribbean, as part of "Operation Partnership of the Americas," are meant to intimidate Venezuela.

Taking part in the United States maneuvers, beside the aircraft carriers, are over a hundred combat aircraft, a cruiser, a destroyer, a frigate with missiles and 6,500 sailors, according to various sources.

The American maneuvers, which began in April and will continue through May,  are taking place in international waters and also within the waters of Curacao, Aruba, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, San Cristobel and Nevis, among other Caribbean nations.

Chavez insistently denounced the presumed intention of Washington "to invade" Venezuela to take over its reserves of over 3.15 billion barrels of oil (according to official figures). The White House denies the allegation.

"If the United States thinks it can come here and enslave us, there will be nothing left for us to do than go to the mountains and to the neighborhoods and resist the aggression. We are preparing ourselves," the Chief of State reiterated during his Sunday program.

Chavez accuses the Government of the United States of "Imperialism" and of "meddling" in Venezuela's internal affairs, while Washington calls the President of Venezuela "authoritarian" and a promoter of "anti-American" sentiment.

NEW TAX ON OIL EXTRACTION

 

Map and Graphic of the Orinoco Belt and Venezuela's Energy Resources.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------During the program, Chavez announced he would push forward a legal reform to increase tax payments for oil extraction.

"We are going to create a new oil tax, called the tax on extraction. Companies are earning a lot of money from the oil that they are taking from Venezuela," Chavez said, in regard to the international oil company partnerships operating in the country.

Despite the announcement by Chavez that oil companies which produce heavy crude in the Orinoco Belt will pay taxes of 50%, rather than the present rate which is closer to 34%, he didn't precisely specify the new tax rate.

British company British Petroleum Plc,  American Exxon-Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp. and ConocoPhilips, France's Total SA and Norwegian Statoil, operate in the Orinoco Faja Belt.

Executives of the state-run company Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) said a short while ago that Venezuela wants to convert four heavy crude operations into "mixed enterprises."

Chavez said that in 2007 the new tax would generate close to $1 billion in new revenue, without going into further details.

Gas drilling close to Aruba 14 November 2008
ORANJESTAD - Venezuela and Russia have started with mutual drillings for gas in sea. One of the fields where they are gong to drill, Cardón III, lies close to Aruba. The Venezuelan company PdVSA and the Russian Gazprom do the exploitation. Almost 190 Venezuelans, Russians, and Americans work on the project Venezuela and Russia close to Aruba.The idea is that also the American Chevron-Texaco participates actively in the project, which is something that Venezuela has promised a few years ago. Chevron-Texaco is coping with the anti-American attitude of the Chavez-government
