Middle East and North Africa GIS Projects:

JMJ Petroleum has generated three GIS-based exploration databases for the basins of the Middle East, covering the Arabian Platform, Iraq and Syria, designed to evaluate their hydrocarbon potential and risk and uncertainty.

The study deliverables include a GIS project database and a suite of enclosures showing:

• Prospects and Leads
• E&P Data
• Major Fields and Discoveries
• Key Dry Wells
• Tectonics and Structure
• Basin Outlines and Structural Highs
• Outcrop Geology
• Cultural Data
• Tectonostratigraphy for Each Basin
• Essential Play Elements
• Regional depth and thickness maps for proven reservoirs, constrained by well tops data.
• Reservoir permeability and porosity maps.
• Mapped source rock intervals.
• Mapped principal reservoir.
• Mapped seal horizons.
• Contoured TOC maps.
• Common Risk Segment (CRS) Maps
• Gross Depositional Environment (GDE) Maps
• Landsat Data
• Bathymetry and Elevation (SRTM) Data

North Africa Example

The following source and reservoir intervals have been mapped:

• Silurian (Tanezzuft Formation) Source
  • Silurian ‘Hot Shales’ thickness
  • Silurian TOC values
  • Lower ‘Hot Shales’ lithofacies
  • Upper ‘Hot Shales’ lithofacies
  • Silurian Tanezzuft Formation source maturity
    
    
• Upper Devonian ‘Argile Radioactive’ Source
  • Upper Devonian ‘Argile Radioactive’ thickness
  • Upper Devonian ‘Argile Radioactive’ TOC values
  • Lower ‘Hot Shales’ lithofacies
  • Upper Devonian ‘Argile Radioactive’ lithofacies
  • Upper Devonian ‘Argile Radioactive’ source maturity
    
    
• Cambro-Ordovician Reservoir
  
  
• Lower Devonian Reservoir (F6)
  
  
• Lower Devonian Reservoir (F4)
  
  
• Upper Devonian-Lower Carboniferous Reservoir (F2)
