Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated volumes of undiscovered, technically recoverable, conventional petroleum resources for the Amu Darya Basin and Afghan–Tajik Basin Provinces of Afghanistan, Iran, Tajikistan, ...

<p>Evaluation of geological and geochemical data acquired since 1985 from scientists working in the Libyan Sea indicate the possible existence of large hydrocarbon deposits in an area of 80,000 Km2, which is equivalent to the Levantine Basin (combined EEZ ...

The Middle Eocene Claiborne Group was assessed using established U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) assessment methodology for undiscovered conventional hydrocarbon resources as part of the 2007 USGS assessment of Paleogene-Neogene strata of the United States part ...

<p>This paper reviews data on the geological evolution of Western Greece, with special emphasis on the petroleum potential of the Pre-Apulian zone (including new data) and the Ionian zone, the two most external portions of the Hellenide fold and trust belt. ...

Gas seepages along the Ionian coast of the northwestern Peloponnesus (Greece), at Killini, Katakolo, and Kaiafas reflect deep hydrocarbon-generation processes and represent a real hazard for humans and buildings. Methane microseepage, gas concentration in ...

This paper is an introduction to petroleum geology i.e. (1) oil and gas source rocks, (2) reservoir rocks, (3) seals, and (4) traps.
