We were back in the South Land at Doc’s Ranch on Nov 3rd for the latest round of the much-anticipated SPETT vs GSTT all-fours rivalry. The action got started with 12 tables playing, with each organization being given ample encouragement from the supporters present. Teams were playing to a grand total of 61 points. GSTT got off to a flying start and had a sizable lead at the break with the score 29 to 15 in their favour. After some refuelling with cold drinks and hearty snacks, plus a few tactical changes, the SPETT team kicked into gear in the second half and began chalking up some direly needed bullseyes. However, the damage was already done and the GSTT were able to win 61 to 39 and claim the coveted trophy another year running. Table winners from both SPETT and GSTT were presented with tokens for their grand efforts. Special prizes were also awarded for Most Wins, Most Hang Jacks, First Jack of Clubs Hanged and Biggest Win Margin. The SPETT team were proud to host this event once again and thank the @thegstt for being gracious winners! Looking forward to next year’s tournament where SPETT will be on a mission to prevent another GSTT win! #spett #thegstt #allfours #tournament #networking #energy #petroleum #geology #engineers

Perenco increases footprint in T&T It was recently announced that Perenco would be acquiring five of bpTT’s assets. This is a big step up in Trinidad for the Anglo-French company which has been the operator of the Teak, Samaan and Poui (TSP) fields since they purchased the assets from Repsol in 2016. The acquisition of bpTTs assets means that the company will now be the operator of gas fields, rather than the traditional oil acreage in Trinidad. EnergyNow reached out to Gregoire de Courcelles, General Manager of Perenco T&T Limited, to learn more about the company and the plans for T&T.

The SPETT/Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries (MEEI) Continuing Education Committee had the privilege of inspiring students at Mayaro Secondary School, a key petroleum 🛢hub in Trinidad🇹🇹! We took them through the journey of petroleum, from seismic exploration🪨 and 3D imaging to refinery distillation🥽, all the way to consumer products. The session was packed with hands-on🖐 activities🧪🥼! Students tried oil-water🛢💦 separation using our own oil samples, learned how pressure differentials make hydrocarbons flow with a juice box🧃 experiment, and collaborated on seismic interpretation to analyze data as a team. They also explored exciting career paths and tested their new knowledgeℹ️ in our “Spin the Wheel” 🎡quiz. It was an inspiring experience to see them engaging so enthusiastically, and we look forward to seeing the heights these bright young minds will reach in the future. Big thanks to our dedicated volunteers: Kiritis C., Shaquille Rawlins, Rishma Persad, Kamaria Edwards, and Kevin Beepath. #SPE #MinistryofEnergyandEnergyIndustries #UniversityofTrinidadandTobago #careerfair #secondaryschools #oilandgas #energy #youngminds #careers #futureprofessional #FutureEnergyLeaders #OilandGas #GreenEnergy #STEM #energyforme #wearespe #Education #Careers #SPETT #MEEI #UTT #FutureLeaders

𝗠𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 Types of Migration 1. Primary Migration: Primary migration, also known as expulsion, is the initial movement of hydrocarbons from the source rock into the adjacent permeable carrier beds. This process occurs on a microscopic scale within the pores of the source rock, where hydrocarbons move out of the rock’s matrix into surrounding, more permeable rock layers. 2. Secondary Migration: Secondary migration is the movement of hydrocarbons through carrier beds toward a reservoir rock where they can accumulate. This process usually occurs on a larger, macroscopic scale, moving hydrocarbons through networks of permeable rock layers, faults, and fractures until they reach a structural or stratigraphic trap. Factors Driving Migration The movement of hydrocarbons through migration pathways is driven by several forces and conditions: 1. Buoyancy: Buoyancy is the primary driving force for secondary migration. Because oil and gas are less dense than the surrounding water in the subsurface, they tend to rise through permeable pathways toward shallower depths where they can be trapped in reservoirs. 2. Pressure Gradients: Pressure gradients within the subsurface also play a key role in migration. For example, higher pressure zones in source rocks can force hydrocarbons into lower-pressure carrier beds. These gradients can occur due to geological processes such as compaction, tectonic stress, or fluid injection. 3. Capillary Forces: Capillary forces, resulting from the interaction between hydrocarbons and the pore structure of rocks, can influence migration, particularly in finer-grained rocks with smaller pore throats. Capillary forces tend to resist the movement of hydrocarbons, so hydrocarbons require sufficient pressure to overcome these forces during migration. 4. Temperature: High temperatures can reduce the viscosity of hydrocarbons, facilitating migration. Temperature gradients within the subsurface, therefore, impact the rate and ease of hydrocarbon movement. Types of Migration Pathways 1. Porous and Permeable Rock Layers (Carrier Beds): These are the most common migration pathways. Carrier beds are layers of rock with sufficient porosity and permeability to allow hydrocarbons to flow through them. 2. Faults and Fractures: Faults and fractures can create migration pathways, particularly in regions where rocks are brittle and prone to cracking. 3. Salt Domes and Diapirs: Salt structures, such as salt domes and diapirs, can impact migration pathways by deforming surrounding rock layers and creating fractures or faults that act as conduits. 4. Stratigraphic Boundaries: Certain stratigraphic features, such as unconformities, pinch-outs, or facies changes, can create migration pathways.
