TL;DR: The occurrence of naturally fractured basement reservoirs has been known within the hydrocarbon industry for many years as mentioned in this paper, however, they have failed to draw the attention of the explorationist, often passed over as 'of no economic potential', their investigation by exploratory drilling has been left to chance.
Abstract: The occurrence of naturally fractured basement reservoirs has been known within the hydrocarbon industry for many years. Generally regarded as non-productive, they have failed to draw the attention of the explorationist. Often passed over as 'of no economic potential', their investigation by exploratory drilling has been left to chance. Yet, they are commonly distributed in various petroliferous regions throughout the world. An attempt has been made in this article to understand hydrocarbon production in basement formations along with some examples.
