The first in this new series of workshop events, which will alternate on a yearly basis between Europe and North America. The aim of the workshop is to promote discussions on the strengths and failings of such a concept and about the risks associated with each component of the petroleum system: charge, reservoir occurrence and quality, vertical and lateral seals and traps. The success probability of such a play will be addressed in each of the geodynamic contexts exhibited on continental margins (passive, compressive and transform). | ER | |
