Overview
Hydrocarbon System
Fold and thrust belt
Fractured carbonate reservoirs: Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous and Oligocene
Source rocks: Triassic and Jurassic
Seals: Upper Triassic/Lower Jurassic evaporites, Upper Jurassic evaporites, Upper Cretaceous mudstones
Hydrocarbon distribution
o North: oil (15-28 API)
o South: gas, condensate and light oil (40-50 API)
Resource Base and Production Potential
USGS estimate: 45 bn bbls and 100 tcf gas
5billion bbls oil and 20 tcf gas discovered to date
Production capacity today: ~400,000 bopd
1 million bbls/day oil within 2-3 years
10 billion cubic meters/annum gas by 2020
