PLAY FAIRWAY ANALYSIS

Navigating frontier or underexplored basins requires a strategic, basin-scale approach to minimize risk and focus resources on the most prospective areas. Our Play Fairway Analysis service at PANTECH CONSULTANTS provides a robust, systematic framework for evaluating the entire petroleum system of a region. By identifying and mapping the zones where all the critical elements for a hydrocarbon accumulation are present and working, we help you de-risk your exploration portfolio and make confident, data-driven decisions about acreage acquisition and investment.

Our Systematic Approach to De-risking

We meticulously evaluate the five key elements of a petroleum system across your area of interest to create a powerful Common Risk Segment (CRS) map. Our analysis involves:

  • Source Rock Presence & Maturity: We analyze regional data to understand the distribution, thickness, and maturity of potential source rocks to determine where hydrocarbons were generated.
  • Reservoir Presence & Quality: We identify and map the potential distribution of reservoir-quality rocks, assessing their porosity, permeability, and thickness.
  • Seal Presence & Integrity: We evaluate the regional distribution and effectiveness of potential top and lateral seals that can trap migrating hydrocarbons.
  • Trap Development: We identify and map prospective structural and stratigraphic traps across the basin.
  • Timing of Generation & Migration: We critically evaluate the timing of hydrocarbon generation and migration relative to trap formation to ensure a viable petroleum system.

Strategic Benefits for Your Business

By partnering with PANTECH CONSULTANTS for your Play Fairway Analysis, you gain a clear strategic advantage:

  • Accelerated Acreage Prioritization: Quickly and efficiently screen large areas to identify the highest-potential fairways for focused exploration efforts.
  • Reduced Exploration Risk: Mitigate the significant risks associated with frontier exploration by understanding the geological uncertainties before committing to costly data acquisition or drilling.
  • Optimized Resource Allocation: Focus your exploration budget, technical team efforts, and capital on the most promising segments of the basin.
  • Strategic Decision Support: Develop a clear, data-driven roadmap for your exploration strategy, from basin entry to prospect generation.

Let us help you define the most prospective exploration fairways in your next strategic basin. Contact PANTECH CONSULTANTS to learn how our analysis can guide your exploration success.
