Abstract
Malta Oil Ltd (a Mediterranean Oil & Gas Group Company) currently holds an exploration license over most of offshore Malta Area 4 on the Mediterranean Pelagian shelf located about 130 km south of Malta, in water depths of 200 m to 900 m. The area is split into four blocks, Blocks 4, 5, 6 and 7. The objective of this note is to summarize the results of our recent interpretation, describe the geological evolution of the area, and give our prospective on the exploration potential of this almost unexplored area. The work done is mainly a re-assessment of the prospectivity of the area, with particular attention to the Block 7, following a recent campaign of seismic acquisition / reprocessing.
