Keynote Presentation: Complex Geology, Challenging Imaging, Why Persevere?

The imaging challenges in the eastern Mediterranean region are being addressed using modern technology combined with valuable geoscience experience. Large seismic datasets with improved presalt imaging allow explorers to form better regional understanding and de-risk targets that were previously difficult to resolve. The area remains a challenge in terms of understanding the tectonics and imaging the subsurface, however the potential is vast in an area that is very well located to markets, so explorers will persist.
