Major oil discoveries in several Cretaceous and Cenozoic rifts
Rifting from Infra-Cambrian to recent times –many basins unexplored
High potential for source, reservoir and trap development
Very localised exploration to date
Poor understanding of common themes between rifts from different
locationsand ages
Huge scope for recognising new exploration opportunities with geological insight
