... Abstract This paper reviews the successful application of a Mud Cooling and Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) system in a HPHT well to explore the potential of the Mesozoic Carbonate Platform with pressure ramp and Narrow Mud Weight Window (NMWW) in the Nile Delta of Egypt. The Constant Bottom...

... Abstract The Mesozoic stratigraphy of the Middle East is endowed with multiple world-class, economically significant petroleum systems. Since the first discovery of a major oilfield in an anticline structure in 1908 (Masjed-e-Suleyman, Iran), exploration and production in the Middle East has...

... The southern region of the Perdido area on the western Mexican side of the Gulf of Mexico is a complex compressional geological system that has gained a lot of interest in the last years for its hydrocarbon potential. Legacy data shows that Lower Tertiary and Mesozoic imaging is strongly...

.... Structural strike of the Eagle Ford in south Texas is southwest to northeast. Near the border structural strike abruptly changes to nearly north - south. In the Burgos Basin, the Mesozoic section dips eastward toward the Gulf of Mexico due to over 30,000 feet of Tertiary sand and shale deposition. Faulting...

... such as raised mantle then it increases towards the basin till its margin. The slope of the rise can be used as a lead for modeling the size and depth of such material. In Cambay basin hydrocarbons are producing from tertiary sediments and detail studies have been carried out.. Though Mesozoic sediments...

... from Mesozoic synrift sequence to Mio-Plio-Pleistocene Channel-Fan complexes have been proven in the basin. Recent discoveries in Mesozoic syn-rift sequence underlying the producing Tertiary reservoirs have led to immense focus for further studies. The reservoir under study comprises of Early-Late...

... the Qamchuqa-, the Shiranish-, the Khurmala- and the Pila Spi Formations. As a result a refined stratigraphic and depositional framework for the Lower Tertiary and Upper Mesozoic sequences has been established. The Cretaceous sequences analysed herein display a series of distinct lithofacies types ranging from...

... Summary There is abundant geological information in pre-stack seismic data. Unearthing and utilizing the critical angle information is a new way for study of Mesozoic granite reservoir. This paper gives the reservoir prediction using supercritical angle information in pre-stack data...

Due to late Cretaceous volcanism with outpouring of basaltic lava flows, this region is affected by numerous dyke...

... Summary From the sixties of last century, a series of geophysical surveys had been launched in northeastern continental margin of the South China Sea (SCS) and a lot of study of geological structure features about Mesozoic in this zone had been carried out. Many researchers have presented...

.... Definition of challenges The challenges for exploration of the Mesozoic reservoirs in the Western Desert of Egypt can be grouped into; (1) challenges imposed by surface and near-surface reservoirs, (2) solving overburden effects, and (3) resolving the reservoirs themselves. A large portion of the Western...
