Rod Graham AAPG Distinguished Lecturer

Research Associate, University of Cambridge

Twenty-odd years ago we saw fold and thrust belts as part of a 'new geography', sitting alongside the then unexplored deep water continental margins, the Arctic and the liberalizing Soviet Union as likely areas to deliver significant new hydrocarbon resources. Since then we have seen political and practical difficulties in many of the countries of the FSSU, and much of the Arctic is only just beginning to get into gear. The deep water passive margins - or at least the inboard, extension dominated parts of them - have delivered abundantly, dwarfing the contribution from the onshore fold and thrust belts. Now, though, these margins are themselves becoming mature, or difficult or expensive to access, and we may need to look again at fold and thrust belts.

Most of us find them exiting. The structures can be large and have the capacity to deliver large volumes of hydrocarbons, but there are also major exploration challenges, which I will try to discuss in this talk.

Fold and thrust belts are geometrically complex, but generally have to be worked with seismic data which are expensive to acquire and often not of the best quality. Even when the pre-requisites of source, reservoir and seal are working in one's favor, the relationship between hydrocarbon maturation, migration and charge with the developing structures is common uncertain. Essentially this is because fold and onshore thrust belts elevate rocks which were once more deeply buried, with consequent damage to the elements of their hydrocarbon systems. It takes a special combination of circumstances to keep a thrust-related structure at maximum burial depth or ensure that structures are developed in time to receive matured and migrated hydrocarbons. Such things

happen spectacularly well in the Zagros where over 200 bboe has been discovered

almost equal to the rest of the world's discovered fold and thrust belt resource, but for many other areas, problems can outweigh advantages. Burial, age and structural simplicity are important issues which we need to work in our favor, and often don't.

Exploration in Fold and Thrust Belts

A Personal Perspective

Volume 42 Number 7 March 2012 Page 2

Petroleum system uncertainties can be addressed by modeling, of course and I will cite an example of a how an integrated dynamic model helped an exploration decision to be made on the fold and thrust belt which forms the eastern margin of the Middle Magdalena Valley of Colombia.

Some of the problems associated with onshore fold and thrust belts are minimized in the toe folds of gravitation systems on the continental margins. They are commonly at maximum burial depth, and the high quality of (relatively cheap) modern marine 3-D

seismic data potentially overcomes the imaging problems associated with the onshore, bringing proper structural understanding within reach. Despite this "imaging advantage", exploration success in toe-fold systems has been modest by comparison to that in the more proximal areas of the same deep water plays. Why? I will argue that it is not entirely a technological issue. Exploration of the world's toe-fold zones exposes us to a different set of geological risks from their onshore counterparts, but they are still significant risks. Two or three prospective and potentially prospective gravitational systems are described in order to illustrate this point.

About the Speaker: Like many other geologists Rod Graham was attracted to geology by a love of mountain walking, and an inspirational school teacher. He studied Geology in the University of Wales at Aberystwyth, graduated with first class honours and went on to do a PhD at Imperial College, London on the Precambrian basement rocks of the Western Isles of Scotland. After two years of post doctoral work on geological strain in crystalline rocks he took up a lectureship in structural geology at the University of Wales at Swansea and his research interest shifted first to the Precambrian rocks of Africa, then to the structure and evolution of the French Alps.

During this time the geometrical ideas of 'thin-skin tectonics' were taking hold of the structural geology community. They were highly relevant (and new) in Alpine geology, but, more significantly, were proving important in hydrocarbon exploration, and so, after thirteen years at Swansea, Rod left academia and joined BP in a structural consulting role which was to enable him to see the geology of a very great deal of the world. The last couple of years at BP were spent in Colombia at the time of the discovery and early development of the giant fields of the Llanos foothills, and Rod developed a fascination with Colombia and its geology which eventually took him from BP to consultant, business development and exploration manager roles in Monument, Lasmo and Emerald, all small companies with major interests in Colombia.

After Emerald Rod took up a new global consulting role within the Hess corporation which included substantial amount of regional work in salt provinces, particularly the Gulf of Mexico.

Rod has published on a breadth of structural geology and tectonics. He will have retired from Hess by the time this talk is given, will have taken up a research associate role at the University of Cambridge, and will be doing as much geology as his wife will allow.

From the President s Desk

I have good news regarding the AGS President-Elect. As I m sure most of you know by now, Steve Wright is stepping down from that position to take on a new role with Chevron in the lower 48. We are very fortunate that Art Banet has agreed to step into the position effective immediately. Art has previously served on the board and is very familiar with the daily operation of the society. He will be able to take on the new responsibilities without missing a beat. Please join me in thanking Art for stepping up to the plate and helping out the society. The board is still looking for members willing to serve as AGS officers for the upcoming 2012-2013 term. In particular, we need volunteers to serve as 1) Vice-President, 2) Secretary and 3) President-Elect to replace Art once he assumes the duties of President in May. The Vice-President s duties include lining up speakers for the luncheon meetings, hosting out-of-town speakers, reserving meeting rooms for upcoming luncheons, and attending monthly board meeting. The Secretary is responsible for taking notes at the monthly board meetings; the President-Elect s duties are limited to attending board meetings. Anyone interested can contact me at ken.helmold@alaska.gov

. This month s luncheon presentation by Rodney Graham, Research Associate at the University of Cambridge University, is entitled Exploration in fold and thrust belts

a personal perspective . Dr.

Graham is an AAPG Distinguished Lecturer and is a world-renowned authority on orogenic belts. His presentation will be thought-provoking, so come early to get a good seat.

Rodney Graham will be giving a second presentation entitled The French Alps - classic geology re-interpreted in the light of passive margin geology and allocthonous salt tectonics on Friday, March 16 as part of a Brooks Range Structural Workshop held at the ConocoPhillips building located at 700 G street. The informal workshop will be held in room ANO-259 from 9:00 am

12:00 pm and is open to the general

public. See you there! - Ken

ALASKA FOSSIL OF THE MONTH

STRINOGOCEPHALUS AND OMOLONIA (MEMBERS OF THE BRACHIOPOD SUBFAMILY STRINGOCEPHALINAE)

by Robert B. Blodgett and Valeryi V. Baranov (Yakutsk, Sakha Repbulic, Russia)

The March offering for the Alaska Fossil of the month is the genus Stringocephalus and allied genera (including Omolonia) of the subfamily Stringocephlinae. Members of this subfamily have long been regarded as excellent index fossils to the Upper Middle Devonian (Givetian Stage). Although this is still a general truism, a few rare occurrences have been noted in recent years in the upper part of the underlying Eifelian (Lower Middle Devonian) Stage. As an easily recognizable guide fossil to the Late Middle Devonian, they are among the prized collecting objects of Devonian biostratigraphers everywhere.

Members of the subfamily are widely distributed globally during the Givetian in tropical marine seaways (see Fig. 1 for their known global distribution as of 1966). Despite a number of subsequent publications on this group, the basic pattern shown in this figure has not been drastically altered. Stringocephalid brachiopods are typically found in carbonate rocks, though a few rare occurrences have been reported of them from clastic rocks as well

Volume 42 Number 7 March 2012 Page 7

Members of the Stringocephalinae have been reported in only from several localities in Alaska (Kirk, 1927; Blodgett and Dutro, 1992; Blodgett and others, 2002; Baranov and Blodgett, in press). Kirk (1927) reported their occurrence in Southeast Alaska (Alexander terrane) in rocks now assigned to the Wadleigh Limestone in the Alberto Islands and Coronado Islands on the west side of Prince of Wales Island. The former locality is just north of Craig, while the second locality is situated south-southeast of Craig. One of us (Blodgett) was able to visit the Alberto Islands locality and recover significant new material. These specimens are clearly assignable to the genus Stringocephalus. The Coronados Island material still needs further study, and during a trip planned to the U.S. National Museum shortly, it is hoped obtain it on loan for further study. Illustrations of the southeastern Alaska Stringocephalus are presented below in Figures 2 and 3.

Volume 42 Number 7 March 2012 Page 8

The only other prominent occurrence of stingocephalid brachiopods in Alaska is from the western Brooks Range, on the west side of Punupkahkroak Mountain, De Long Mountains A-3 quadrangle. These specimens were reported by Blodgett and Dutro (1992) as Stringocephalus cf. S. noctua Crickmay, the compared Crickmay species being described from the Givetian of Manitoba, Canada. However, recent work by the authors (Baranov and Blodgett, in press) in comparing this material with similar age faunas from Northeast Asia (Kolyma region) indicate that the Alaskan specimens and the comparable Manitoban material are synonomous with the previous established type species (Omolonia antiqua Alekseeva) of the stringocephalid genus Omolonia Alekseeva in Alekseeva and Nuzhdina, 1967. These ties further strengthen the paleobiogeographic connections recognized between Northeast Asia (NE Russia) with northwestern Alaska. Figure 4 presents several views of Omolonia antiqua Alekseeva from the Punupkahkraok Mountain locality.

Stringocephalid brachiopods were notably tropical in their distribution during the Givetian, and like many modern tropical shells probably had very brilliant and complex external color patterns. Blodgett and others (1988) documented the occurrence of complex color patterns in specimens of the type species of Stringocephalus, S. burtini, from the Givetian of England (Fig. 5).

Figure 5. Ventral view of Stringocephalus burtini from the Givetian (upper Middle Devonian) of England showing well-developed concentric and radial color bands (from Blodgett and others, 1988).

Volume 42 Number 7 March 2012 Page 9

It is of interest to note that color patterns (in this case consisting a narrow concentric bands) can also be recognized in stringocephalid brachiopods (Omolonia antiqua) from the western Brooks Range (Fig. 6).

It is most probable that with further geologic mapping and concentrated efforts at making paleontologic collections from Devonian rocks of Alaska that stringocephalid brachiopods will continue to turn up. These are among the largest known Devonian brachiopods and are easy to spot in the field. So next time you find yourself in a beautiful exposed section of Alaskan Devonian carbonate rocks, keep your eyes focused for these intriguing grapefruit sized objects!
