Popis: The impact of any new technology on exploration success can be very difficult to assess since most data are held as proprietary by the lease or licence owners. Marine controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) data for use in hydrocarbon exploration have been acquired for nearly 10 years and more data are now available to attempt understanding the impact of this technology on drilling success rates. This study is an objective observation of statistical results of 86 wells that have been drilled on prospects and fields that contain marine CSEM data. As there are numerous parameters not known to the authors, the study constrains the focus to provide information on observed results.
