A seismic stratigraphic analysis and petroleum system characterization of the cretaceous sequence in central Walvis basin, offshore Namibia
The Walvis Basin, situated along Namibia's passive margin, has long been recognized for its hydrocarbon potential. With only nine (9) exploration wells drilled to date, the Walvis Basin remains relatively under-explored. The uncertainties concerning the occurrence and preservation of mature source …

An Examination of the Mineralogy and Lithology of the Bakken Shale with Implications upon the Bakken Petroleum System, Southeastern Saskatchewan
Late Devonian and Early Mississippian Bakken shales are important source rocks to the oil accumulations in southeastern Saskatchewan. However, to date there is lack of knowledge concerning the mineralogy and lithology of the Bakken shales, which may impact the source effectiveness and heterogeneity …

Biogenic gas occurrence in the Niobrara Formation, eastern Denver Basin, Colorado, USA
… in the eastern part of the Denver Basin. The petroleum system of the biogenic play in the eastern part of the Denver Basin is a proven system. The maturity data are from high TOC marl intervals in the Niobrara Formation and overlying shale from Sharon Springs Member of the Pierre Shale. The A …

Reduce the charge risking applying migration tracers
… to ten thousand wells have been drilled and the petroleum system is extensively studied. Based on the charge failure post drill the focus is now on charge and migrations, as the proven source rock quantity and quality are in many cases proven. Current charge risking primarily relies on basin …

Well log petrophysics and re-interpretation of the exploration target intervals in the southern Walvis basin
… hydrocarbons include lack of one or two petroleum system elements and/or processes; with the absence of reservoir or charge being the more common reasons of failure. This project included the analysis of three well log data (Wingat-1, Murombe-1 and 2213/06-1 well) with focus on reservoir …

The Semliki Basin, Uganda : its sedimentation history and stratigraphy in relation to petroleum accumulation
… The sediments in the Semliki Basin represent a petroleum play for hydrocarbon accumulations, in which the necessary elements of a valid petroleum system were identified. These include excellent or good potential for reservoirs and top seals as well as circumstantial evidence of regionally mature …
