Potential New Reservoir Targets Discovered in Channel and Canyon Features – Offshore Gabon

This paper outlines examples of potential new reservoir channel and canyon features observed in the interpretation for the Gabon MegaSurvey. The canyons occur at the Base Miocene Unconformity and the channels are imaged at the Ozouri formation and offer exciting new exploration opportunities. Their relevance and origins are discussed with respect to the regional geology. The interpretation describes the various methods used to image these canyons and channels. Methods, that can be incorporated into a workflow that will define a potential prospect to drill. The well developed canyon and channel systems identified in the Gabon offshore area is a potential new reservoir target similar to prospects targeted in the Niger and Congo deltas.
