Petroleum geological and prospect evaluation of three open blocks in the G-quad of the Netherlands Offshore

This preparatory study has been performed as an initiative of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Netherlands to improve access to information for the mining industry and other interested parties. It should be seen as a first try out of an inventory study of the exploration potential of three open blocks. These open blocks G10, G11 and G13 are straddling the German median line and are located on the Schill Grund High structural element. The blocks are largely covered with 3D seismic and in total 7 wells were drilled.
The recent discovery of a shoestring of gas fields in the G14 and G17 blocks, located on the Schill Grund High, and their connection to the NGT pipeline opens up the area for exploration of smaller targets.
