Day 1 Basin Analysis

PBE is …

• Play Based Exploitation

• Play Based Exploration

• Play & Basin Exploration

• Prospect Based Exploration

Below are what PBE is mostly defined except?

• Encompasses and integrated basin, play and prospect scale evaluations giving appropriate and timely emphasis to each

• Leads to a technically meaningful and consistent understanding of the risks and opportunities wihtin a basin

• Is an evaluation framework and flow that can be used to make a discovery

• Foundations lie in the Petroleum System Concept

Basin formations mainly consists of?

• Lithospheric Loading

• Foreland Bulging

• Lithospheric Stretching

• Strike-Slip Faulting

Where are the main factors for Sedimentary basin?

• Thermal maturity based on Oceanic vs. Continental

• Burial history and facies distribution based on sediment source area and rates of deposition

• Total organic content that can generate hydrocarbon based on the depositional environment

• Effect of syndepositional tectonics aoin basin archetecture based on plate boundary type

What is a prospect?

• A well defined potential drilling candidate with extensive seismic coverage

• A well defined potential HC accumulation that is mapped and has rock volume on the basis of sufficient geophysical and gelogical data

• A well defined structural high that can hold a potential and significant amount of HC

• A well defined mapped structure that has economic potential if there is a discovery

Basin analysis workflow consists of objective such as below except?

• To evaluate petroleum systems

• To estimate hydrocarbon potential in the basin

• To enter a bid-round session

• To delineate strucutral trends in the basin

What did not happen at this time?

• Creation of Pan-African Orogenic belt

• Beginning of Pangea break-up

• Gondwanaland formed

• The creation of Neo-Thetys ocean

How many type of basins that can be classified worldwide (commonly)?

• 2

• 4

• 3

• 5

Where does salt basin usually formed?

• Passive Margin

• Rift (divergent) Arc

• Convergent Boundaries

• Volcanic Arc

What causes Foreland / Retro-arc basin? 

• Mechanical and Thermal Uplift due to Transtensional

• Due to lithospheric loading behind a montaineous arc under a compression regime.

• Due to accretionary prism and the volcanic arc and subside entirely due to sediment loading

• Due to overriding plate and behind a volcanic arc
