The main critical issue in the exploration is the risk associated to the play elements . Mapping the risk of the different play element and using the best basin analogues can provide a good approach to estimate the remaining hydrocarbon potential. Lack of data is a barrier. indeed the regional geology understanding and the basin exploration history of a basin is a key factor to help compensate the lacking data.Two methods of Geox estmation are used to quantify the remaining potential: the area yield method in the emerging basins and field size distribution in area with more data on a play level.
