Exploration Challenges in the Valencia Trough, Offshore Spain – The Lubina and Montanazo Discoveries

In 2009, two discoveries were made in the Valencia Trough (offshore Spain): Lubina and Montanazo. The Valencia Trough is an oil bearing province that presents important challenges such as geohazards, reservoir imaging and evaluation. This study presents the successful experience that resulted from the use of different technology to overcome the dificulties to explore carbonate reservoirs.
