Petroleum system analysis of West Korea Bay Basin, North Korea

Assessment of undiscovered conventional oil and gas resources in the West Korea Bay–North Yellow Sea Basin, North Korea and China, 2017

“…The geologic model for the assessment is for oil and gas generated from organic-rich, lacustrine source rocks to have migrated along faults or carrier beds into structural traps or to have migrated into reservoir-quality facies in stratigraphic traps. The source of geologic risk in the AU is the potential for loss or remigration of petroleum from conventional traps during subsequent phases of uplift and erosion (Massoud and others, 1993;Cheng and others, 2015;Son and Park, 2015;Cheng and others, 2015). Assessment input data for the West Korea Bay-North Yellow Sea Conventional Oil and Gas AU are shown in table 1.…”
