We can subdivide the exploration work process from seismic interpretation forward into 4 major elements

Here is the basic workflow for seismic interpretation & beyond
First, we need to develop a geologic framework; major faults and stratigraphic packages (depositional sequences)
Then we need to analyze all the key packages – where are potential reservoirs, source rocks, etc.
Next we have to identify prospects – places where all the HC system elements look favorable & we are willing to propose a drill site to management
Finally we have to access the prospect – what type and volume of HC do we expect & what is the chance of success or risk
