NPA have completed the first phase of the Circum Black Sea
Project, a tectono-stratigraphic and structural interpretation
of the region that uses Landsat TM imagery to provide a plate
tectonic and structural framework to explain the distribution
of known oil & gas fields and predict the location of
undrilled structures. The project utilises the Offshore
Basin Screening (OBS) technique to assess the prospectivity
of the Western and Eastern Black Sea basins and the surrounding
marginal marine domains.
The second phase
of the Circum Black Sea Project will involve customer-driven
bespoke Licence block evaluations:

Points
of interest |
| What is the relationship between the Caucasus and the Crimean Mountains?
What is the extent of the onshore
Rioni Basin?
Do the Pontide domains have
differing structure?
To what extent can the tectono-stratigraphy
of the region be correlated?
How can tectonic domain mapping
help predict trap style?
Is the timing of petroleum
charge related to Tertiary deformation?
Where is Priozernoye?
|
Does
the Karkinit trend extend into the Odessa Shelf?
Where is the Rize Seep: does
it repeat?
Can regional, satellite derived
Bouguer Gravity maps predict where source kitchens lie?
|
The project comprises two elements, the onshore tectono-stratigraphic
evaluation and the Offshore Basin Screening (OBS) technique.
All results are available digitally as .Tiff files for images
and Arc Shape/.DXF for vector interpretation overlay maps. Bespoke
extractions from or extensions to the project can also be easily
accommodated.
