Abstract

The main objective of conducting this study is to the address the unresolved question of the presence and extent of active Previous HitsourceNext Hit rocks, past or present, in the southern Orange Basin with the limited data available. If so, can predictive models be reasonably proposed to help predict and delineate the Previous HitsourceNext Hit Previous HitrockNext Hit, and possibly quantify its potential? A comprehensive understanding of the petroleum system elements, Previous HitsourceNext Hit Previous HitrockNext Hit specifically, is pivotal for the identification of petroleum plays. The Previous HitsourceNext Hit Previous HitrockNext Hit intervals are evaluated using a range of available datasets to help locate and understand the Previous HitsourceNext Hit rocks in the Orange Basin. Well information from commercial and academic efforts, which intersected Previous HitsourceNext Hit rocks in the study area, play a crucial role in providing information about the presence and quality of Previous HitsourceNext Hit Previous HitrockNext Hit. Analysed and interpreted vintage and fairly recent geochemical datasets focused on the comparison and correlation of sparsely located Previous HitsourceNext Hit Previous HitrockNext Hit is also used for correlation of the Previous HitsourceNext Hit Previous HitrockNext Hit interval. Even though such data is available, it does not focus on predicting the extent of the Previous HitsourceNext Hit Previous HitrockNext Hit interval(s) in the southern Orange Basin. The study also encompasses the integration of 2D seismic, petrophysical logs, sequence stratigraphy and basin modelling for the purpose of evaluating the Previous HitsourceNext Hit Previous HitrockNext Hit. The results of the study are expected to lead to a comprehensive understanding and provide a strong basis for the identification and prediction of the Previous HitsourceNext Hit Previous HitrockNext Hit interval(s). Moreover, it will allow for the integration of the existing geochemical data in order to assess the potential of the Previous HitsourceNext Hit Previous HitrockTop interval(s) in the southern Orange Basin.
