Abstract

Summary

Exploration in a mature area presents both challenges and rewards. On the one hand, an abundance of data is available, but on the other hand, these data have typically been mined and exploited within familiar exploration contexts. The challenge is to see these data within a new context or applying new methodologies to get a new and better understanding of the area. The combination of detailed quantitative geophysical analysis, at one end of the spectrum, and a broad basin modelling context, at the other end, has provided a novel insight into a mature exploration play in the greater Ula area, Norwegian Southern North Sea. This synthesis not only accounts for the results of past exploration, but opens up possibilities for identifying overlooked potential in one region that was thought to have been maturely explored.
