Clastic Stratigraphic Traps – What has Driven Exploration Performance?
Thursday 27 February 2020
Westwood has analysed 376 exploration wells that tested clastic stratigraphic traps between 2008 and end January 2020 in 66 basins and 113 different plays, to investigate stratigraphic trap exploration performance and understand the key success factors.
Which found a total of 235 bnboe have been discovered in clastic stratigraphic traps since 2008. Which has comprised of 22 bnboe (132 tcf) of gas and 13 bnbbl of oil. Of this 75% of the oil resources and 95% of the gas resources were discovered in deep water.
