Portuguese term or phrase: Descoberta Marginal
"Caducidade da Declaração de Descoberta Marginal".
Durante pesquisa, encontrei "marginal utility"/"marginal rate", mas nada relacionado à "descoberta marginal". Como não obtive grandes resultados, não tenho certeza se o termo poderia ser literalmente traduzido como nos demais casos.

Obrigada desde já.

marginal discovery
Explanation:
Diria assim (sem costs):

While we were expecting Palaeocene sandstones, as in a nearby marginal discovery made the year before, we had drilled into what we first described as a calcarenite or calcareous sand. More important, it had an intense golden glow under ultraviolet light. I had never seen such oil and gas shows before,” Max recalls.

Shell said today it had made a marginal discovery of oil and gas with its summer exploration in the Chukchi Sea but not enough to continue to the search for the “foreseeable” future.
