Aligning the ducks .....something hudge is in the making !As the system cooks further the oils get lighter and move more toward what gasoline or motor oil look like, lighter in color and less viscous---their index goes up in what’s called API—these are mature oils in the sweet spot of the spectrum. This is the kind of stuff we have in the wells.
the immense productivity in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran (especially the Zagros belt) is based on multiple stacked source rocks and several carbonate reservoirs which are involved in many types of traps. This is not to say we have discovered a new Middle East, but some of those are in structures --the Zagros in particular in Iran and Iraq—that are similar to what we suspect we have drilled into. So, the Kavango rocks may have similar reservoir properties to some of those.
