offshore Jamaica
Cretaceous Stratigraphy
The island of Jamaica contains several potential Cretaceous and Tertiary source rocks. This study examined over 800 samples from on- and offshore Jamaica and presents the geochemical and palynological evidence for the deposition of these source rocks and quantifies their source potential for hydrocarbon generation. Detailed geochemical evaluation o...
The island of Jamaica forms the northern extent of the Nicaraguan Rise, an elongate linear tectonic feature stretching as far as Honduras and Nicaragua to the south. Uplift and subaerial exposure of Jamaica during the Neogene has made the island rare within the Caribbean region, as it is the only area where rocks of the Nicaraguan Rise are exposed...
Jamaica and its offshore basins are sparsely explored: only two wells have been drilled offshore and nine wells onshore, along with several shallow boreholes, and oil or gas shows have been seen in 10 of the 11 wells. Jamaica has a broad stratigraphic framework consisting of Cretaceous shales representing potential source rocks, and rudist limeston...
