Unveiling the Deep Secrets of the Mozambique Channel

Updating our geological concepts and turning them into meaningful tools to guide our exploration toward discoveries of new types of plays and new petroleum provinces is a major challenge for the oil & gas industry. It demands to revisit our fundamentals (structural, sedimentary and fluids) and start over with a geodynamic approach to the formation of sedimentary basins. Staying abreast of advances in academic research is paramount as we strive to formulate these innovative concepts and predict new plays. Total strategy is to stay poised to detect and quickly take up the most innovative scientific ideas and pass them on to the field in real time. This will be the key to successful frontier exploration.
