Title:

Integrated Exploration of the Owambo Basin, Onshore Namibia: Hydrocarbon Exploration and Implications for a Modern Frontier Basin

Publication Year:
2014
Abstract:

The hydrocarbon potential of onshore Namibian basins has long been overlooked during the rush to explore offshore concessions. Recent analysis of the Owambo Basin in northern Namibia has identified significant onshore hydrocarbon potential. However, subsurface data limitations due to extremely limited drilling activity (one reservoir test in a basin area the size of New Mexico) have made reliance on potential field geophysics, vintage 2D seismic interpretation, and outcrop studies of the basin periphery critical to predictive models of hydrocarbon occurrence and basin potential.
