oa Basin Forensics using Electromagnetic Techniques

EM techniques can be indispensable in identifying the right basin or block, selecting promising prospects, drilling the appropriate wells, and capitalizing on opportunities to locate the ideal reservoirs. In frontier areas they provide a wealth of information not only about the presence of saturated hydrocarbon deposits but also shed light on basement structures, source rocks, and the heat flow from the Moho, a factor that enables the formation of hydrocarbons within source kitchens.
