The Middle East hosts a significant portion of the world’s hydrocarbons and offers vast untapped potential. Historically, discoveries have centered on simple structural traps, with production dominated by giant and super-giant fields.

As the energy transition advances, gas becomes a key resource. To locate additional accumulations, exploration must target deeper, older formations beneath the oil-rich Cretaceous-Jurassic intervals. However, evaluating these deeper layers poses challenges due to regional variability in penetration below the Triassic.

This webinar introduces a regional screening approach that can help illuminate the potential of these deeper petroleum systems, outlines key exploration risks, and highlights their impact on system development.

Join us to learn more about:

• A regional perspective to fully understand and contextualize the distribution of petroleum system elements across the region
• A play screening workflow that identifies key risks and their influence on system development
• The timing of hydrocarbon charge, migration pathways, and structural evolution of source rocks to define system dynamics
• Regional variations in seal quality and their impact on trap integrity and containment
