An overview of the exploration history and hydrocarbon potential of Cambodia and Laos

Abstract

This paper sets out to review the history of exploration as well as the petroleum geology and hydrocarbon potential of both Laos and Cambodia in the light of the paucity of both published information and the lack of exploration data available. It is hoped that this paper will disseminate to the international oil industry the frontier nature of exploration in these countries and provide a basis for further study. CAMBODIA
