- •
Significant hydrocarbon resources exist in the pre-Devonian.
- •
The age of the petroleum system does not appear to increase exploratory risks.
- •
Kerogen character is highly variable as a result of organic preservation level.
- •
Assessment of thermal maturity is complicated as a result of lack of consistency.
- •
A primary risk remains the preservation of hydrocarbons within the trap.
