Survey Summary

  • Semi-regular grid pattern with 500 meter spacing
  • Total coverage of 95 km2
  • 222 GORE® module samples at 184 grid locations
  • 38 GORE® module samples at three model well sites

 

Survey Results

  • GORE® Survey indicated several large geochemical features for both gas-condensate and oil
  • The observed geochemical features correspond perfectly with the known seismic situation
  • There are similarities between both geochemical models, indicating that the hydrocarbons are chemically related
