Abstract

Summary

With few data sets and little exploration activity, frontier basins are high risk, and yet have high potential return. The offshore Sri Lanka is such a frontier basin. To date, oil companies have only drilled fifteen wells (four of the fifteen were stratigraphic tests) offshore Sri Lanka. Five wells are in the West Mannar Basin. In 2011, two wells discovered gas: Barracuda and Dorado (Sorkhabi 2013). The remaining deep-water offshore basins, south and east of Sri Lanka, remain unexplored.
