Method of early prediction on source rocks in basins with low exploration activity

Abstract:

Low exploration activity fields (deep formation, deep water and new exploration areas) are important for petroleum exploration. Source rock evaluation, the result of which will determine the exploration potential of a basin, is one of the most important aspects. Because all the evaluation parameters are almost unknown in an area of low exploration activity with sparse wells, the early evaluation of source rock is somewhat contradictory. Based on the framework of sequence stratigraphy, this paper presents a ...
