    The document provides an overview of the Sulu Sea and East Palawan Basins resource assessment conducted in 2003. It describes the basin areas and data coverage including new 2D seismic data. 16 wells had been drilled with 4 encountering gas or oil shows. Source, reservoir, and seal rocks were identified. Prospective play types for each basin were listed. A probabilistic resource assessment was conducted using GeoX software and an analogy method to estimate speculative resources.

    PETROLEUM SYSTEM
    SOURCE ROCKS
    Early to Late Miocene fine-grained sediments

    • Early Miocene – poor source quality w/ very lean organic


    content

    • Middle Miocene – average to above average organic


    content w/ vitrinitic kerogens; fair to good hydrocarbon
    potential; Coral –1 well has oil-prone amorphous kerogen

    • Late Miocene – predominantly humic kerogen w/ poor to


    fair hydrocarbon source potential

    13-18 March 2003


    PETROLEUM SYSTEM

    RESERVOIR ROCKS
    Sulu Sea Basin:
    Early to Middle Miocene quartzose sandstone in PEC
    333-1 well, 17-18% porosities, 30-107md permeabilities;
    19-35% porosities in Late Miocene rocks
    Sandstone in PEC 409-1 well, 18-24% porosities in
    Middle Miocene; 11-26% porosities in Late Miocene
    rocks

    PLAY TYPES
    Ø Sulu Sea Basin
    Reef Buildup (RB)
    Anticline (AN - confirmed)*
    Fault Block (FB - confirmed)*
    * based on Nymphe Northe-1 oil and gas discovery and
    Nymphe-1 gas producer both on the Malaysian side of
    the basin
    Ø East Palawan Basin
    RB (unconfirmed)
    AN (unconfirmed)
    ST (unconfirmed)
    13-18 March 2003
    METHODOLOGY
    Since the basins are poorly to moderately explored
    giving low to moderate level of knowledge, we find
    the following approaches most appropriate:

    Probabilistic prospect analysis (GeoX)


    Play analysis through analogue method
