Sub-surface investigation in the frontier region of deep-water NW Sabah, Malaysia

Worldwide, deep-water exploration has increased significantly during the past decade. However, deep-water is not explored to its full potential and many new discoveries are expected to come in future particularly in SE Asia and East Africa. The petroleum systems of deep-water settings are highly var...
