Area of Study

Belize is located just south of Mexico and east of Guatemala on the Caribbean coast.  The Belize carbonate complex is perhaps the most applicable modern province to exploration plays located on ancient shelves (Gulf Coast) and barrier reefs (Persian Gulf), but also carbonate plays that occur on a shelf margins and basin reefs (Western Canada).  Belize affords the observer the opportunity to study potential carbonate source and seal rocks and early diagenetic process that influence the same.

Resource team members will develop an appreciation for the influence of depositional facies on primary and secondary recovery programs.
