Southeast Europe to West Central Asia Region
The region spanning southeast Europe and west Central Asia contains a number of important late Palaeozoic to Cenozoic hydrocarbon basins. Some of these are frontier basins; others have a long history of exploration and production. We have focused on three main areas; the Dinarides-Hellenides, the Black Sea and the Caspian. The petroleum systems in these areas are complex. The principal exploration risks in the Dinarides-Hellenides and offshore in the Adriatic are source rock presence and structural complexity, whilst in the Black Sea and Caspian, they are reservoir presence and quality.
