Dual-Phase Systems in Oil Exploration: Guyana-Suriname Case Study
The Guyana–Suriname Basin requires a comprehensive analysis that integrates oil, gas, and pore volume due to its complex geology. Recent well data reveals diverse fluid provinces influenced by four source kitchens and varying migration regimes. Understanding this interconnected system enhances resource estimation and prospect evaluation significantly, moving beyond traditional, isolated assessments.
