The Gulf of Papua: Fresh Insights Into a Frontier Basin
Presented by Lauren Found (Searcher)
Abstract
Despite covering an area roughly equivalent to the state of Victoria, the offshore Gulf of Papua in Papua New Guinea (PNG) remains vastly underexplored, with less than thirty exploration wells drilled over the last seventy years. However, although well data is lacking, there is a wealth of geotechnical data covering the Gulf, allowing for detailed studies to be undertaken, challenging long-held paradigms about the crustal nature, regional architecture and hydrocarbon prospectivity. The basin-scale studies can also be integrated into more detailed prospect-level evaluations as new geophysical technologies allow for high-resolution 3D seismic to aid in de-risking perceived risks in source development and reservoir facies, as observed with the Nanamarope 3D MSS.
