... Abstract The majority of deep-sea oil and gas exploration areas are located in seismic active zone, such as the South China Sea and Suez basin in Egypt. As casing string vibration caused by earthquake and low deep shallow soil cementation strength may result in the instability of deep water...

... with stratigraphic channel plays. As a safer and highly rewarding alternative, we propose the ultra-deep water basin floor fan in the deep water abyssal plains setting as the future oil play for this century. An extensive dataset of modern long streamer 2D seismic in ultra-deep water along both sides...
