Oil in Jamaica Bundle | Geologist Insight | 6 Videos

Video 1: Oil & Natural Gas Source Rocks | Blue Mountains, Jamaica | 1min 16 sec duration

Field findings such as this serve as an insight for the further onshore-offshore exploratory work (geologic, seismologic, geochemical) that has been taking place in Jamaica’s territory.  

The Gulf of Mexico/America: Oil & Gas Geology + Wealth | Insights for Jamaica

7 Min 5osec Duration

With Jamaica’s increasing interest in it’s oil exploration endeavors, and using the Gulf of Mexico as reference, it is our primary intention, that this video can present the lay man, with a greater understanding of the basic geologic factors and settings, that can prove beneficial or detrimental to Jamaica’s Oil exploration endeavors.  

The Windsor Natural Gas Seep of Jamaica | Geology Insight

Duration: 10min

Though this natural gas seep has been declared as non-commercial, it has also been declared that this seep is indicative of an active petroleum system underground. Similarly, the evidence of this seep is a marker for offshore hydrocarbon exploration, for potential -actual commercial quantities. In this video (with the layman in mind), we: 1. Share and give insight on the geology of the Windsor Spring area. 2. Give insight (geology) of considerations behind commercial & non-commercial hydrocarbons declaration.  

Oil Exploration in Jamaica | Earthquakes

Duration: 4min

Earthquakes play an important role in the exploration of hydrocarbons. Whether or not they can be beneficial or detrimental to the investment, is dependent on the fault (earthquake) characterization, among others. As researchers such as Dr. Lyndon Brown, Dr. Mann, Dr. Margaret Wiggins & others have highlighted, more studies of faults on Jamaica’s Mainland & Offshore are needed. Until we can do this comprehensively, we won’t improve our knowledge of earthquakes in Jamaica & their risk/reward potential; and in extension the complex geology of the Northern Caribbean Plate Tectonics (plate movement kinematics, crustal deformation rates, magmatism…) to say the least.  

Florida & Jamaica Have Similar Limestone
