Creaming curve fingerprinting Part 2: Temporal and spatial workflows
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Creaming curve fingerprinting is a technique to understand more about the exploration history of a basin or play than can be learned from standard creaming curve analysis. This insight is the second part of a trilogy on the topic. Here we build on the technique introduced in part 1 to include temporal and spatial aspects. Part 3 then discusses some general observations and conclusions. Creaming curves, despite their inherent temporal nature, are often analysed only as static snapshots in time. Additional insights can be revealed by time-lapse analysis of multiple time slices.
