The Indago portfolio contains prospects and leads scattered along a continuous geological trend at the western front of the Oman Mountains. These relate to similar petroleum systems and form a trend that stretches from Musandam Peninsula in a southwards arc towards Muscat.
The Late Cretaceous-Tertiary thrust belt of the western front of the Oman Mountains is a proven hydrocarbon province. In the north there are a number of gas-condensate fields such as Bukha (Block 8, Oman), Sajaa and Margham (United Arab Emirates) and in the south, the Al Sahwa, Hafar, Hamrat Duru, Khatmah and Nadir gas discoveries (Blocks 30 & 47, Oman). All of these fields are in Middle and Lower Cretaceous platform carbonate reservoirs in thrust controlled or salt induced anticlines.
Historically, seismic acquisition and sub-surface imaging in this area has proved to be challenging resulting in acreage that is relatively under-explored. Further discoveries are considered likely between the gas-condensates fields in the north and gas discoveries in the south.
The geological development of the area is complex with the thrust belt overprinting an older Palaeozoic salt basin. This salt basin in central and southern Oman has effective hydrocarbon systems, as proven by the Kauther field that produces from Cambrian clastic reservoirs. These clastic reservoirs also form targets in the Indago acreage.
