Multidisciplinary Integration of Prospectivity and Value in Play Analysis - An example from onshore Kazakhstan

Basin evaluations necessarily focus significant effort on the sub-surface. The typical workflow involves building an integrated understanding of the basins structural origin and development, the sedimentary fill and the movement of fluids within the basin. Plays are then defined and play analysis typically undertaken based on this foundation of a thorough understanding of the basin architecture and fill. For the context of this presentation a play is defined as a reservoir – seal pair with the potential to access charge from one or more of the predicted or proven source rock intervals.
