Abstract

Summary

The recently reprocessed data highlights significant potential and reveals play concepts within these basins. Many hydrocarbon play types have been recognized on reprocessed 2D seismic data both in western and eastern offshore Madagascar. Complex large salt related structures, anticline features, and channel and basin floor fan stratigraphic plays have been commonly recognized in the offshore western Madagascar. While simple fault block rotation within syn-rift half-graben play is mainly identified in the coastal narrow basin on the eastern part of the island. These findings, together with compelling evidence of an active petroleum system will surely add Madagascar to the list of key exploration areas in East Africa.
