Basin Consanguinity in Petroleum Resource Estimation

J. W. Porter, R. G. McCrossan

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Any technique for estimating petroleum resources, no matter how detailed, should have a framework within which the data, concepts, and principles related to petroleum occurrence can be organized. The sedimentary basin is an entity that can be identified with a minimum amount of information early in the exploration history of a region, and that is capable of yielding a very tangible indication of hydrocarbon potential and its mode of occurrence.
