The contributions to this volume provide new experiences in
hydrocarbon exploration, especially to basin analysis
methods and risk assessment by computer modelling. Covering
mainly the North Sea and adjacent areas also examples from
Paris basin, off-Southern Italy, Pannonian basin, Bulgaria,
Turkey, Russian platform and Baltic Sea are presented. New
approaches in risk-weighting are performed by Monte Carlo
simulations, by application of expert-system technology but
also by taking into account the importance of man-made
mechanical effects, resulting from stress-sensitivity
measurements from log and core data.
This collection of conference papers gives an overview about new perspectives in hydrocarbon exploration, ranging from deep well experiences through basin analysis methods up to the application of risk assessment by computer modelling. The contributions concentrate on the North Sea area but also give examples from other European hydrocarbon exploration areas. As further reading it is of interest for all scientists and practitioners working in this field.
