oa Using Gravity and Magnetic Data to Delineate Deep Basin Geometry and Faulting: Implications for Paleozoic Sourcing for Permian–Triassic Reservoirs in the Partitioned Zone/Divided Zone of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait

Within the Partitioned Zone/Divided Zone (PZ/DZ) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Kuwait, Wafra Joint Operations (WJO) utilizes non-seismic geophysical technologies as a means of complementing and leveraging the value returned by seismic exploration efforts – this in order to optimize development of the PZ/DZ asset. Legacy gravity data available in the area (dating back to 1949) were confirmed and supplemented by a ground gravity program acquired in 2010. Future plans initiated by WJO include the execution of an airborne gravity gradiometry and magnetic survey using latest technologies.
