Description / Table of Contents: Onshore fold thrust belts are commonly perceived as difficult places to explore for hydrocarbons and are therefore often avoided. However, these belts host large oil and gas fields and so these barriers to effective exploration mean that substantial unexploited resources may remain. Over time, evaluation techniques have improved. It is possible in certain circumstances to achieve good 3D seismic data. Structural restoration techniques have moved into the 3D domain and increasingly sophisticated palaeo-thermal indicators allow better modelling of burial and uplift evolution of source and reservoirs. Awareness of the influence of pre-thrust structure and stratigraphy and of hybrid thick and thin-skinned deformation styles is augmenting the simplistic geometric models employed in earlier exploration. But progress is a slow, expensive and iterative process. Industry and academia need to collaborate in order to develop and continually improve the necessary understanding of subsurface geometries, reservoir and charge evolution and timing; this publication offers papers on specific techniques, outcrop and field case studies.

Description / Table of Contents: Onshore fold–thrust belts are commonly perceived as ‘difficult’ places to explore for hydrocarbons and are therefore often avoided. However, these belts host large oil and gas fields and so these barriers to effective exploration mean that substantial unexploited resources may remain. Over time, evaluation techniques have improved. It is possible in certain circumstances to achieve good 3D seismic data.

Description: This Special Publication draws upon contributions to a similarly titled conference The Deliberate Search for the Stratigraphic Trap -- Where Are We Now?' held at the Geological Society in London during 2004. Observations in this introductory paper have been drawn from the authors' experience, talks given at the conference and papers within this volume. Specifically it is noted that by analogy to basins which are perceived to be mature for structural traps, stratigraphic traps can have substantial remaining potential. Additionally, current exploration for stratigraphic traps seems rather restricted to areas where seismic data allow the direct assessment of fluid fill and reservoir development. It is argued that the industry is probably not doing enough to learn from established stratigraphic traps to guide future exploration for such traps. Looking forward, it is suggested that the industry faces two key challenges. Firstly, the use of all available data to assess fluid type and reservoir presence in areas of unfavourable rock physics, and secondly, the development of sufficiently sophisticated predictive models of stratigraphic trap development.

Publication Date: 2010-11-30

Description: This volume results from a conference intended to assess the exploration and exploitation primarily of onshore fold-thrust belts. These are commonly perceived as difficult' places to explore and therefore are often avoided by companies. However, fold-thrust belts host large oil and gas fields and barriers to effective exploration mean that substantial resources may remain. This volume shows how evaluation techniques have developed over time. It is possible in certain circumstances to achieve good 3D seismic data. Structural restoration techniques have moved into the 3D domain and simple thermal constraints can be enhanced by using more sophisticated palaeo-thermal indicators to more accurately model burial and uplift evolution of source and reservoirs. Awareness of the influence of pre-thrust structure and stratigraphy and of hybrid thick and thin-skinned deformation styles is supplementing the simplistic thin-skinned fault-bend and fault propagation models employed in earlier exploration. The learning curve' in fold-thrust belt exploration has not been steep and further improvement seems likely to be a slow, expensive and iterative process with information from outcrop, well penetration and slowly improving seismic data. Industry and academia need together to develop and continually improve the necessary understanding of subsurface geometries, reservoir and charge evolution and timing.
