Key investment opportunities in the petroleum sector of Mongolia

• The key to successful exploration in Mongolia is to identify deeper sub-basins within the major rift trends where lacustrine source rocks developed and were later buried deeply enough to achieve thermal maturation and petroleum expulsion.
• Structures identified around these sub-basins with favorable reservoir and trapping conditions have produced oil in the Eastern Gobi (Zuunbayan and Tsagaan-els) and Tamsag basins (Toson-uul and Tamsag) Mongolia and within the Hailar and Erlian basins in China.
