Petroleum Geology of Fiji
نویسنده
چکیده
The Fiji Platform developed as an island arc in the Tertiary. Extensional and transpressional tectonics have deformed the fill of extensive sedimentary basins within the Platform. These basins commonly contain over 3 km of stratified deposits. Five deep petroleum-exploration wells were drilled between 1980 and 1982, but all were dry. There remain reasonable prospects, however, because none of the wells tested their targets, and there are indications that thermogenic hydrocarbons have been generated and are locally trapped-in the subsurface. Doubts remain with regard to the quality and quantity of source-rocks and of the hydrocarbons generated.

The Non-organic Theory of the Genesis of Petroleum
Recent advances in interdisciplinary fields as diverse as astrophysics, cosmogeophysics, nuclear geology, etc. have led to interesting developments in the non-organic theory of the genesis of petroleum. This theory, which holds that petroleum is of an abiogenic primordial origin, provides an explanation for certain features of petroleum geology that are hard to explain within the standard organ...

متن کاملLow Decision Space Means No Decentralization in Fiji; Comment on “Decentralisation of Health Services in Fiji: A Decision Space Analysis”
Mohammed, North, and Ashton find that decentralization in Fiji shifted health-sector workloads from tertiary hospitals to peripheral health centres, but with little transfer of administrative authority from the centre. Decisionmaking in five functional areas analysed remains highly centralized. They surmise that the benefits of decentralization in terms of services and outcomes will be limited....
