Abstract
The decrease in hydrocarbon reserves, the energy needs of countries and the necessary reduction in the carbon footprint to mitigate climate change, determine the obligation to search for new or alternative energy sources to solve these problems. For this reason, the exploration and exploitation of natural gas and other alternative sources has gained great strength and Cuba is no exception. In 2013, a gas exploration study began in the areas of the Cuban Northern Oil Belt and the Central Basin area where the Motembo field (1881) is located, historic for its volumes of natural gas and light oils, trapped in ophiolitic rocks. In the gas sampling in this area, the existence of gaseous hydrocarbons and high values of molecular hydrogen were evident. Globally, in countries like the USA, Russia, France, Mali and others, this gas is being investigated to incorporate it into the energy basket. This work is a first look to begin to estimate this energy resource in Cuba, with the objective of obtaining a methodology for its evaluation and association with other geologist-geophysical attributes, applying exploratory analysis and data mining techniques. This preliminary exercise indicates that the application of these techniques is an important tool for multivariate analysis and search for relationships between gas attributes and geologist-geophysical attribute.
