Abstract

Summary

As Graff/Venus have de-risked the margin therefore can we forget about regional context? A reminder about the importance of understanding the wider petroleum system for future discoveries

Graff/Venus discoveries de-risked the margin - therefore we can move-away from regional context… or can we? As Graff and Venus have de-risked the margin let’s forget the regional context! No of course not!

Can we disregard the regional context now Graff/Venus discoveries have de-risked magmatic margins? In short – no!
