The Awakened Giants

FEW PINNACLES WITH SEISMIC EXPRESSIONS PRESUMABLY ENHANCING THE 'BLOWN TRAP'FEATURES ARE PUT FORWARD. SIGNIFICANT CIRCULAR FAULT FRAMEWORKS IN THE OVERLYING OVERBURDEN SEQUENCE COMPLETE WITH A 'SEISMIC PLUME' EMANATING FROM THE PINNACLES CRESTS STRENGTHENED THE FAILED TRAP BELIEF. EARLY ASSESSMENT OF THE PINACLES WITH THE SIMILAR SEISMIC FEATURES LED TO DOWNGRADING OF THEIR HYDROCARBON TRAPPING POTENTIAL. THE UNDERSTANDING TRIGGERED TOTAL PETROLEUM SYSTEM RE-EVALUATION OF THE CARBONATE PINNACLES IN THE REGION. SINCE 2004, MORE THAN 15 PINNACLES WERE TESTED AND PROVING 18 TRILLION CUBIC FEET GIIP IN TOTAL, ACHIEVING AN EXPLORATION SUCCESS RATIO OF HIGHER THAN 80%.
