Geochemical and Geological Database to Enhance Petroleum Systems Analysis on the UKCS

This abstract provides an overview of the workflows and methodologies implemented in generating a UKCS wide geochemical and geological database, to be used in conducting petroleum systems analysis. As a truly integrated study, it provides a rationale to the various technical scopes involved in executing the work and shows the value in bringing these various results together into an integrated database to be used by industry and academia. The results of this study provide a unique tool to improve subsurface understanding across the UKCS, and assist in the continued drive to enhance exploration and development opportunities in all areas of the UKCS.
