The stratigraphic approach toward hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation is a fundamental aspect of the continued development and consequent future addition of new reserves from mature basins. This approach, albeit not novel, involves systematic attempts at locating subtle stratigraphic reservoirs and traps, as well as methods of enhancing hydrocarbon recoveries from existing fields, by coordinating petrophysical studies and conventional subsurface mapping techniques.
