Geochemical insight at
basin scale.
StratoChem has undertaken regional studies across some of the world's most prolific petroleum systems — spanning Egypt's Western Desert and Gulf of Suez to the offshore Eastern Mediterranean and Adriatic. Each study integrates hundreds of samples, multi-well datasets, and decades of interpretive experience to conclusively answer basin-scale questions.
North Western Desert, Egypt
A comprehensive geochemical evaluation was carried out on Cenomanian–Turonian sediments in the North Western Desert of Egypt. Rock samples from 50 wells and 28 oil samples from 26 wells across the unstable shelf were submitted for geochemical investigation. The study focused on the well-known Abu Roash "F" Member (A/R "F"), widely considered one of the region's most important effective source rocks.
North Western Desert, Egypt
The largest of StratoChem's Egyptian studies by sample count — a geochemical evaluation of Cretaceous and older sediments across the North Western Desert. Rock samples from 101 wells, 136 oil samples, and 75 extract samples from a combined 131 fluid wells were submitted for investigation, covering the full stratigraphic column from Jurassic through Cretaceous across the unstable shelf.
Gulf of Suez, Egypt
StratoChem's most oil-sample-intensive study — a comprehensive geochemical evaluation of the entire Gulf of Suez, Egypt's most prolific petroleum province. Rock samples from 63 wells, 245 oil samples, and 150 extract samples from a combined 231 fluid wells were submitted for investigation, covering Cretaceous and younger sediments across the full extent of the rift basin.
Offshore Lebanon (via Spectrum Geo)
A regional petroleum systems modeling study conducted for Spectrum Geo across the Levantine Basin in the offshore Eastern Mediterranean. The study evaluated the hydrocarbon generation potential of defined source rocks and investigated the likely pathways of migration and accumulation into possible reservoir objectives. Multiple wells with measured maturity, thermal, and geochemical data were used for model calibration.
Offshore Croatia (via Spectrum Geo)
A 3-D regional petroleum systems modeling study conducted for Spectrum Geo in the Adriatic Sea, offshore Croatia. The study evaluated the hydrocarbon generation potential of defined source rocks and investigated migration and accumulation pathways within possible reservoirs. ZetaWare's integrated 1-D and 3-D suite was used — Genesis models were created and exported to 3-D Trinity — calibrated against wells with measured maturity, thermal, and geochemical data.
