CedarsOil Lebanon neoBASIN 3D-Model Detail

This 3D-Model maps the petroleum prospectivity of northern Lebanon subsurface by integrating legacy well and 2D seismic data with newly acquired airborne Geological and Geophysical (G&G) datasets. CedarsOil model will support E&P companies for leasing a concession, drilling a well and for taking other G&G investment decisions.

The airplanes will fly over an area of more than 6,000 km2, which is delineated by the red polygon in the map, using fixed-wing sensing including gravity, magnetic, electromagnetic, radiometric and hyperspectral data.

The anticipated deliverables of the CedarsOil 3-D Model include:

- Maps of naturally occurring, surface-based oil seeps and indirect hydrocarbon indicators.
- Maps of basement topography and key structural and stratigraphic horizons.
- Basement-to-surface maps highlighting local faults (including the Dead Sea fault north extension) lineaments, and intrusives.
- 2-D cross-sections and regional 3-D structural models of the subsurface, including geologic trends that can be extrapolated into the survey area from Syria or recent discoveries that have been made offshore in the eastern Mediterranean.
- Maps of key reservoir intervals of interest, including isopach, burial depth, and depth-to-basement maps of these horizons.
- Regional resistivity voxels down to ~10,000 feet subsurface, along with resistivity cross-sections and depth slices in areas of heightened geologic interest.
- Regional ‘highgraded acreage maps’ depicting the most (and least) prospective areas for leasing, drilling, and/or further G&G study and investment.
