OVERLOOKED MIDDLE EAST
POTENTIAL: UNDERSTANDING THE
PALEOCENE SHAMMAR PLAY
The 40 million barrel discovery within the
Shammar Formation sandstone play in the
Lekhwair Field prompted a reassessment of
the formation. A series of gross depositional
environment maps for this interval have been
released.

OFFSHORE MOROCCO: A HOLISTIC
APPROACH TO ASSESSING
PROSPECTIVITY
Our recent work in offshore Morocco shows the
exploration picture remains complicated. Risks
associated with reservoir presence and hinterland
quality decrease towards the south, whilst risks
associated with burial depths and traps increase.
