Parry_2015_FORCE_Underexplored_Plays_Stavanger_Oil Seeps - the only real Dire...Chris Parry
Chris Parry presents on the importance of hydrocarbon seeps as direct indicators of oil and gas. Seeps have led to most major oil discoveries through visible oil staining and odors at the surface. Both macroseepage and microseepage occur, with microseepage traveling vertically from charged reservoirs. Offshore, seeps manifest as pockmarks and mud volcanoes and can be detected using satellite imagery by observing oil slicks on the surface that dampen wind ripples. Seep sampling through gravity coring and geochemical analysis of cores reveals subsurface characteristics like thermal maturity and source rock type through biomarkers. Seeps significantly reduce exploration risk by indicating the presence and maturity of source rocks.

6. The Carrara Nevada Story
CARRARA, NEVADA AND CARRARA, ITALY HAVE SOMETHING IN
COMMON. THEY ARE PRODUCERS OF MARBLE. IN 1911,
PROSPECTORS FOUND DEPOSITS AND THE AMERICAN CARRARA
MARBLE COMPANY WAS FORMED. THE QUARRY WAS LOCATED IN
THE MOUNTAINS AND THE TOWNSITE ABOUT THREE MILES AWAY
ON THE FLAT VALLEY NEXT TO THE LAS VEGAS AND TONOPAH
RAILROAD.
BECAUSE OF THE DISTANCE FROM THE QUARRY TO THE
RAILROAD, WORK ON A THREE-MILE SPUR LINE BEGAN IN 1913
TO HANDLE MARBLE BLOCKS WEIGHING UP TO FIFTEEN TONS. A
NINE-MILE WATER PIPELINE FROM CARRARA TO GOLD CENTER
WAS BUILT. SOME BUILDINGS WERE MOVED TO CARRARA FROM
BEATTY AND RHYOLITE TO MAKE THE TOWN LOOK MORE
FINISHED THAN IT REALLY WAS.
THE HOTEL OPENED IN JUNE AND FEATURED ELECTRIC LIGHTS,
RUNNING WATER, AND TELEPHONES. THE RAILROAD TO THE
QUARRIES WAS COMPLETED IN 1914. CARRARA’S PEAK YEARS
WERE 1915 AND 1916. AT THAT TIME THERE WERE MORE THAN
FORTY BUILDINGS AT THE TOWNSITE AND A POPULATION OF
CLOSE TO 150. THE CARRARA SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS
ESTABLISHED IN 1915. BUT THE TOWN WAS SUCCESSFUL AS A
MARBLE PRODUCER ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME . ALL ACTIVITIES AT
THE QUARRY HALTED IN 1917, TIL THE NEW OWNERS TOOK OVER.
UNITED STATES
7. History & Timeline
UNITED STATES
In Early 1904 the discovery of marble was made at (Bare
Mountain)
Between 1911- 1913 the company laid out the town site.
In 1912 American Carrara Marble & Cement Company was
started Water Supply came from the nearby Gold Center,
Electricity came from the nearby highway , about 3 miles away.
April 1914, the first slabs of marble were shipped from the
quarry, some was used to build (Los Angeles City Hall 1928)
1929 The Pacific Union Railroad was shut down
The Carrara town population grew to approximately 100-150
residents 1934
The Mine was sold to Investors of the Carrara Marble & Cement
company, Inc., in 1917. (Over 50 Shareholders as a Group)
They tried re-opening the mine a few times over the years. But in
1930 the war broke-out and the town was abandon by 1934.
Owners put the property & mine on the market however the Deal
with a European mining company fell-out because of the 911 -
Terrorist Attack in New York City.
The Mineral Resource Evaluation and Engineering Report was
performed by the industries top engineering experts in 1993,
1997 & 2003 .
In 2014 investors have the opportunity to establish a joint-
venture to sale for $320 Million US Dollars and Re-Open Mine
8. Why Did The Mining Stop?
They no longer had the railroad or the trains.
Handling the marble to take it to the market generated financial
stress.
They realize there was very little value in continuing the mining
business
The town Carrara, Nevada was abandoned in1934.
The great depression started and World War II began (Pearl
Harbor attacked)
There has to be a better way.
