There remains potential to be unlocked in the onshore UK but it requires the combination of technical and commercial solutions to better understand how this can be achieved.
Hannon Westwood’s UK Onshore Oil & Gas Potential – A Comprehensive Review provides an overview to the onshore industry on how different areas of the UK might respond to a field development or exploration well in close proximity to existing settlements. Maps outlining National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Sites of Scientific Interest combined with mapping of population density and GDP per household give a clear indication of which areas are likely to be amenable to exploration activities
Key petroleum system elements within the UK landward basins of highest interest for petroleum exploration are outlined. Further insights are provided to assist with understanding where and why the current hydrocarbon accumulations have been found. Well logs of the key reservoir sections are also provided. There remains potential to be unlocked in the onshore UK but it requires the combination of technical and commercial solutions to better understand how this can be achieved.
The report outlines the source, migration, traps, seals and reservoirs of the UK’s onshore basins that are prospective for hydrocarbons.
