Abstract
Block 31 is located in water depths ranging from 1200-2500 meters, approximately 150 km offshore Angola. BP is operator on behalf of the Block 31 license group. Reservoirs comprise Miocene and Oligocene sediments, deposited in erosional channel complexes. Typical traps are associated with uplifted channels on the crests and flanks of salt-cored ridges. The structural evolution is driven by salt-induced tectonics with approximately 60% of the block covered by allochthonous salt.
