Including their onshore areas

Continuing on from our success of over 80 completed studies across SE Asia, JMJ Petroleum has now generated a GIS-based exploration database for the offshore basins of China designed to help evaluate their hydrocarbon potential and risk and uncertainty, with particular focus on the Bid Round Areas currently offered and Open Blocks. A review of past and current production and exploration activity has also been undertaken.


The study deliverables include a GIS G&G project database containing:

• Prospects and Leads
• Exploration Opportunity Summaries
• E&P Data
• Major Fields and Discoveries
• Key Dry Wells
• Culture Data
• Tectonics and Structure
• Base Tertiary Mapping
• Tectonostratigraphy for Each Basin
• Essential Play Elements
• Gross Depositional Environment (GDE) Maps
• Gravity and Magnetic Data, including Interpretation
• Landsat Data
• Bathymetry and Elevation (SRTM) Data

Note: The GIS G&G project database contains over 100 hyperlinked cross-sections, numerous hyperlinked documents, more than 200 seismic sections, and over 300 georeferenced maps, figures and images. We are currently in the process of finalising a set of seismic sections, chronostratigraphic summary charts, play cartoons and exploration summary montages, as shown below.
