EXPLORATION POTENTIAL
The majority of Myanmar.s proven oil and gas plays are associated with compressional, thrust
related anticlines and it is this play type that is associated with the Htaukshabin Peppi, Chaulk,
Yenangyaung, and Mann Fields. The Kanni Field, however, is a complexly faulted, elongate
dome representing another play type.
The interpretation of the reprocessed MOGE seismic data confirmed that the Htaukshabin
Anticlinal Trend is dominated by an east hading thrust, which was correlated as a northerly
extension of the Simnataung Fault.
The West Hading Htaukshabin Thrust now appears to have played a subordinate role during the
latest phase of structural deformation in which critical trap formation occurred.
Along the Htaukshabin Anticlinal Trend partitioning by the east hading and west hading Simnataung
and Htaukshabin Thrusts, respectively, provides four discrete trap related petroleum plays. Fairways
involving sub-thrustal traps in particular were identified as having been poorly evaluated by past exploration
and development drilling campaigns.
In the Kanni-Peppi region, five discrete play types were identified in a wide range of structural settings
from sub-thrust to tensional tilted fault blocks and compactional drape.
More specifically the petroleum fairways that were identified from an interpretation of the reprocessed
MOGE seismic data are:
Htaukshabin Anticlinal Trend Area: Supra-Htaukshabin Crestal Zone Shallow Htaukshabin Sub-Thrust Simnataung Sub-Thrust (Western Flank) Simnataung Sub-Thrust, l Zone Deeper Simnataung Supra-Thrust Zone Kanni-Peppi Area: Compactional Drape Features Normal Fault Related Traps Reverse Fault and Thrust Plays (Peppi East Flank) Reverse Fault Related Anticlinal Structures Other Sub-Thrust Traps
FOCUS intends to pursue a detailed investigation of the various play types mentioned above and subtle
variations within each play type.
