Figure 16.
(A) Play-based exploration (PBE) pyramid depicting the three main (basin-, play-, and prospect-scale) levels and the main methods deployed in PBE assessment. The diagram illustrates the stages and workflows involved in the play-based approach to hydrocarbon exploration (Shell Exploration and Production, 2013). The PBE approach forms the basis for common-risk segment (CRS) mapping and creating a composite map to identify prospective sweet spots in a sedimentary basin, where subsequent exploration is highly graded. (B) Schematic cartoon depicting the CRS mapping approach and composite CRS map that results from overlaying each segment. 4-D = four-dimensional.
