Abstract
Trinidad and Tobagos Atlantic basin has been a prospect for the discovery of
hydrocarbons for over 30 years. Although work has been conducted in this
basin, scientists never explored depths exceeding 1000 metres. Initially, the
deep-water
blocks
were
explored
using
two
dimensional
(2D) seismic data, which along with gravity and magnetic surveys were
successful in providing understanding of the structural and stratigraphic
settings of the blocks. In 1998, however, three dimensional (3D) seismic
surveys were introduced to explore blocks 25a, 25b, 26 and 27. From the
data obtained, a total of eight wells were drilled but none were found to have
sufficient hydrocarbon accumulations. The data also provided a better
understanding of the effects of shale diapirism on the hydrocarbon system
and
the
eastern
location
of
the
reservoir
within
the
area.
