Exploration Performance in Sedimentary Zones of Pakistan

Abstract

Using exploratory drilling density and the hydrocarbon discovery density as nonnalized measures of exploration performance, the status of exploration in the sedimentary zones of Pakistan has been highlighted.
The paper compares results of exploration in sedimentary zones of varying size with the help of normalised discovery functions. Statistics of exploration performance have also been surfaced through normalized drilling and discovery measures.
The study Indicates that the exploration had been less intensive in larger zones as compared to smaller oil and/ or gas rich zones.
