An integrated assessment of the hydrocarbon potential of the Goban Spur is described.The results of this work culminated in the drilling of an exploration well in 3,528 feet of water. Although there was considerable success in predicting the overall stratigraphy, the results of the well highlight the difficulties in determining the adequacy of potential reservoir and hydrocarbon source horizons in unexplored basins.-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
