AB  - The Middle East is the world's most prolific petroleum province, containing the world's top five countries in terms of oil reserves and four of the top 10 oil producers. This success is largely due to the stacked nature of what are essentially very simple play systems with multiple carbonate platform and deltaic clastic reservoirs, widespread evaporitic seals, world class source rocks and the overprint of very large compressional anticlines in both fold belt and foreland settings. As with most working petroleum systems, all areas of the Middle East are not equally endowed with petroleum resources and future potential. Using an analysis of the prolific Upper Jurassic 'Arab' play fairway of the Middle East, the application of play fairway risk mapping techniques is demonstrated. © Petroleum Geology Conferences Ltd.
