English term or phrase: play
Je suis en train de traduire un document sur le pré-sel en Afrique. Le terme "play" me pose problème. Voir exemples d'utilisation de ce terme dans le texte source :

1. Using latest seismic data to gain an improved structural understanding of the **play**
2. Understanding how to determine the potential **play** system in shallow offshore depths below 700m
3. Using available geological data to determine the extent of **plays** that might exist
4. Examining how to determine which **plays** have the highest potential for commercial success

S'agit-il ici du "theme pétrolier" ou de gisements ? Le terme ne semble pas avoir le meme sens dans la 4eme phrase où je pencherais plutôt pour "gisements" ou "exploitations pétrolières"
NB: Play: a group of oil fields or prospects in the same region that are controlled by the same set of geological circumstances

Merci pour vos explications !
