Oil and gas pools in shallow basins or on the shallow, stable shelves of deeper sedimentary basins may not be exceptions to the model of a hot deep origin of petroleum. The oil in shallow basins is directly associated with faulting extending out of the deepest parts of the basin. Evidence exists that some of these shallow basins have been much hotter in the past either from igneous activity or from* A higher geothermal gradient. Uplift and erosion may also have removed substantial thicknesses of sediments in some of these basins.Oil on the stable shallow shelves of deep basins may have originated in the deeper part of the basin and undergone long lateral migration to the traps where it is now found. Conduits for such migration have been sandstones in deltadistributary systems (eastern Oklahoma and Kansas), reef trends (Alberta, Canada), or regional porosity and permeability in sheet carbonates (Anadarko basin, western Oklahoma and Kansas). Part of a paper given at the American Association of Petroleum GeologistsAnnual Meeting, Dallas, 1975, and received the Matson Award.

“…Although some shallow cratonic basins are productive, most are totally barren. Those that do produce have very small recoveries per unit area (or volume) (Halbouty et al, 1970) when compared with deeper basins (Table 1).…”

3D- Seismic Analysis of Paleocene Carbonate Succession in Nafoora Area, Southeast Sirt Basin, Libya

This paper focuses on seismic interpretation of Paleocene sequence in Nafoora area. Composite logs, check shots and sonic logs for many wells in the block 51W have been used herein. The paper aimed to i) present time structural maps for each unit to demonstrate their lateral distribution throughout the area of study, ii) and to evaluate the relation between the stratigraphy and structural setting across the Nafoora Fault. The maps are generated for Arish and Harach horizons on basis of 3D seismic data, and formation tops. Variations in lithology, and the development of faults, which introduce discontinuities in the reflectors mostly control the continuity of the seismic events. The fault patterns show that most of faults are of normal type with a NW-SE strike trend, these faults generally coincide with the major regional structural features in the eastern Sirt Basin. However, this study provides an opportunity to examine deposition and the stratigraphy of the carbonate platform on the southern margin of Tethys during the Paleocene. Furthermore, the work may have economic benefits to the petroleum industry in form of a predictive tool for future locations of hydrocarbon prospectivity.

Stratigraphic approaches to hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation

Geological Journal

The stratigraphic approach toward hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation is a fundamental aspect of the continued development and consequent future addition of new reserves from mature basins. This approach, albeit not novel, involves systematic attempts at locating subtle stratigraphic reservoirs and traps, as well as methods of enhancing hydrocarbon recoveries from existing fields, by coordinating petrophysical studies and conventional subsurface mapping techniques.
