Abstract
The use of an integrated approach in science has gained more prominence recently
because it is thorough and provides a dynamic perspective from which scientific
problems can be investigated and solutions proffered. Here, an integrated approach
(Litho and seismic stratigraphy, structural modelling, Seismic attributes analyses and
3D numerical simulation of hydrocarbon generation and migration) were used to
investigate geological controls (faults and stratigraphic features) on hydrocarbon
migration pathways and suggest prospective areas within the Block 1 of Orange
Basin, South Africa.
