Exploration Challenges

Petroleum Geochemistry I Ariana Energy Researchers
Identifying stratigraphic traps in prospective basins
Ambiguity and complexity for costly seismic surveying in a large structure
Inability to detect the exact location of reservoir using seismic imaging in the structures in which the evaporate rocks are on the surface
Applying environmentally friendly techniques for petroleum exploration
Significant reduction of petroleum exploration risk
Identifying genetic relationships between reservoir oils and source rocks
Evaluation of reservoir continuity
Recognition of productive or drained reservoir compartments
Source rock evaluation needed for petroleum system analysis
Extracting a gas sample from a constant volume of mud during drilling
Early identification of kicks and losses during drilling to enhance safety
High accurate quantification of CaCO3-bearing minerals during drilling
Regional evaluation of basin and petroleum system
Spatial analysis of exploratory targets and the corresponding facilities
Characterizing mineralization type and style
Evaluating grades of mineral products, by-products and contaminants
