Tender description

Invitation to Tender for Invitation to Tender for Phase 2 of the 21st Century Exploration Roadmap (21CXRM) for the East Shetland Platform and SW Approaches areas. — Build auditable databases of potential source rock and migrated fluid geochemical parameters. — Provide data that allows investigation into the uplift histories (timing and magnitude). — Provide data that allows investigation of the thermal evolution of the candidate source rock intervals within the areas. — Provide an integrated analysis of burial, thermal and charge histories of the areas of interest. — Identify areas where the existence of an active petroleum system may be supported by evidence of hydrocarbon seeps. — Identify and describe evidence for potential hydrocarbon seepage. — Catalogue the potential seeps based on their compatibility with the geology and the potential ease of sampling (or most appropriate sampling technique). — Identify and describe options to carry out hydrocarbon seep / slick sampling programme(s). — Obtain samples of sea surface hydrocarbon slicks — Perform geochemical analysis on samples to determine the provenance of the hydrocarbons. — Type thermogenic hydrocarbons to candidate source intervals. — Obtain samples of seabed sediments from areas most likely to contain thermogenic hydrocarbons. — Perform geochemical analysis on hydrocarbon samples to determine the provenance of the hydrocarbons. — Type thermogenic hydrocarbons to candidate source intervals. — Obtain seabed temperature and heat flow measurements.
