- Hydrocarbon traps frequently display anomalous geothermal
gradients.
- Target E.C developed a computer program which verify,
test, correct, plot and analyse BHT records to identify geothermal gradient
anomalies of HC entrapment.
- The report is valuable to new and established explorers
of LIBYA to:
- Recognise geothermal signature of proven traps and use
it to identify early wells that may have bypassed or stopped short of HYDROCARBON
TRAPS.
- FOCUS resources on assessing tracks of hydrocarbon migration
and entrapment.
- Identify KEY WELLS with reliable geothermal gradients
for BASIN ANALYSIS.
- Identify geothermal fairways of
light oil and gas, heavy oil and dry holes.
- Report includes: A list of 29 geothermal anomalies of
HC traps, 70 figures, 5 enclosures showing: locations of more than 100
exploration and development wells, locations of key wells for basin analysis, surface temperature contours, geothermal
gradient contours, geothermal gradient anomalies of proven and
potential hydrocarbon traps.
- This report and an ASCII file documenting hundreds of BHT data used in
this study are immediatly available.
