Abstract
Breton Sound – A Conventional Deep Water Play in Shallow Louisiana State Waters
The geopressured Middle Miocene section remains an attractive conventional exploration and development play in South Louisiana. This presentation summarizes recent exploration efforts in the Breton Sound geopressured section. The geopressured Middle Miocene section in Breton Sound produces at high flow rates, is liquid rich and generates strong cash flow. A deep-water depositional model was utilized to develop new exploration opportunities in the geopressured section. Seismic AVO analysis was used to high-grade prospects. All these factors combined create an attractive opportunity for future exploration growth throughout South Louisiana in the geopressured section.
