Model well locations in relation to the survey area The detected compounds used to differentiate Oil vs. Background (dry) character Map showing top of triassic TAG-1 structure, faults, the client’s proposed well (RFD-1) and the GORE™ Survey grid GORE™ Survey results. The red areas indicate geochem anomalies which reflect a high probability of hydrocarbon occurrence
Survey Results
Results indicate that there is a large geochem anomaly that closely corresponds to the TAG-I structure
The client drilled the TAG-1 location which was on the edge of the geochemical anomaly, located on the downdip edge of the seismic mapped structure. The results of drilling the well was the discovery of 3 meters of net oil pay in the TAG-1, which was not completed for economic reasons
A second high probability geochemical feature located in the NE part of the survey warrants further evaluation as a stratigraphic trap possibly in a deeper Carboniferous formation
