, 18:37, 20 May 2014→Assessing fairway prospectivity
The above considerations and their interdependencies, along with the following data sources, help us assess which structural fairways might be prospective:
The above considerations and their interdependencies, along with the following data sources, help us assess which structural fairways might be prospective:
* Regional geologic data (tops, sections, maps)
* Regional geologic data (tops, cross sections, maps)
* Natural and productive analogs of structures
* Natural and productive analogs of structures
* Reconnaissance [[seismic data]]
* Reconnaissance [[seismic data]]
* Fabric analysis
* Fabric analysis
* Tectonic subsidence analysis
* Tectonic subsidence analysis
* Surveys for remote detection of hydrocarbons
* Surveys for [[Remote sensing|remote detection]] of hydrocarbons
If the structural fairway has most, if not all, of the major components needed for a viable hydrocarbon system, the next step is to identify structural leads and convert these to prospects.
