São Tomé and Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone

Following modern reprocessing of multi-client data, PGS discuss the four key reasons to be excited about the hydrocarbon prospectivity in the São Tomé and Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone (STP-EEZ).This article appeared in Vol. 15, No. 5 - 2018
Hydrocarbon Potential in the São Tomé and Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone (STP-EEZ)

In recent years, the São Tomé and Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone (STP-EEZ) has been the subject of significant attention from major oil companies, resulting in applications for exploration licences and farm-in activities over nine blocks. PGS reprocessed its MultiClient library data using modern processing techniques and conducted a basin analysis study to help understand the recent interest. The study shows that all the elements of a working petroleum system are present in the waters of the STP-EEZ. Continental and transitional crust provide structures and source rocks and PGS basin modelling reveals that these sediments are mature for oil and gas. Long-lived fluvial systems provide quality reservoirs fed from numerous sedimentary catchment areas.
The São Tomé and Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone (STP-EEZ) lies within the heart of a tripartite petroleum neighbourhood dominated by long-lived fluvial sedimentary basins: the Niger Delta to the north, the Rio del Rey and Douala Basins to the north-east and the Rio Muni Basin to the east.
