Many of our international projects or large domestic projects benefit from a regional Basin Study that integrates regional tectonics, sequence stratigraphy and latest industry activity.
Every basin study project begins with research for existing studies and papers that will define the structural and depositional history of the basin.
Identify major and minor productive reservoirs, source rocks, structural elements, and trends in the basin, including oil and gas exploration history.
Identify and studyanalogous fields and production history with a focus on:
Trapping and sealing mechanisms, hydrocarbon generation and migration, and timing of trap creation
Reservoir stratigraphy including gross and net reservoir, gross and net hydrocarbons, water saturation, and porosity
Individual and reservoir-level production, performance, drive mechanisms, GOR, and water production
Cumulative oil and gas production by reservoir
For each reservoir and source rock integrate regional stratigraphy to identify depositional environments
Each basin should be understood within the plate tectonics forces which created and modifies the basin. This also allows us to compare one basin to another based on plate tectonic principals.
Within the basin identify most prolific areas for each reservoir, compare to existing and known fields, and identify attractive areas where the target reservoirs may be exploited
Generate final structural and stratigraphic maps, along with full report and future exploitation potential
