Country or Basin wide Studies

were carried out in the following areas:

  • Kazakhstan: Country entry study involving all areas and valuation of potential projects
  • Germany: Country entry study identifying Posidonia Shale Basins and viable open acreage as basis for clients exploration strategy
  • Germany: identifying regions of biogenic gas potential in southern German Molasse basin
  • Albania: Country report, evaluation of onshore round blocks & offshore blocks
  • Slovakia: study of all prospective basins with emphazis of Vienna basin
  • Czech Republic: study of gas shale possibilities throughout country
  • Hungaria: hydrocarbon potential inventory of country focus on pure gas
  • Romania: study of fold belt geology (Carpathians)
  • Poland: country study highlighting gas and oil shale potential of northern Poland
  • Spain: Early Paleozoic sequence stratigraphy as basis for hydrocarbon exploration to compare with Algerian hydrocarbon reservoirs
  • Bolivia: Country entry study identifying remaining potentials in the low lands and Andean Mountain areas
  • Peru: Maranon & Ucayali Blocks evaluations
  • Ecuador: Amazon Basin assessment for hydrocarbons
  • Argentinia: Offshore Tierra del Fuego
  • Brazil: Basin Screening for early bidding round (offshore)
  • Trinidad & Tobago: Mapping of direct hydrocarbon indications

Projects involved:

  • Assessment of the regional geology and the resulting Hydrocarbon Systems and Plays
  • Evaluation of acreages/prospects, i.e. of the related hydrocarbon potential and risks, and of scope economics where appropriate

The LO&G reports comprehensively describes all aspects of the energy scenarios of those regions/countries which offer the opportunities evaluated. Together with the assessment of the respective hydrocarbon potential, the reports serve as country reports not only for the analysis of acreage on offer at a particular time.
