Located in southwestern Argentina, it covers around 15,000 Km2, with more than 10.000 ft. thickness in the depocenters. The basin has more than 100 years of exploration history started with the exploitation of 10 barrels a day from 4 wells in “Arroyo de La Mina” oil seepage. This report summarizes the new exploration ideas, based on geochemical data and outcrops description that allows the existence of a hypothetical new petroleum system. This idea generates high exploration potential in undrilled deep sections of big structures.

The MSGBC basin ranges from southernmost Western Sahara to Guinea-Conakry, along the Atlantic margin, both onshore and offshore. The basin has been in the spotlight in recent years due to several World-Class discoveries – Greater Tortue, Marsouin, Teranga, SNE among others. The discoveries opened new plays in the basin which have vast exploration potential. This study compiles extensive public-domain information, coupled with our deep knowledge of the area, and includes a comprehensive report, GIS, and WebGIS projects.
The importance of oil and gas production from shale plays in the U.S in the last decade also draws attention to the Neuquén Basin in Argentina. The Vaca Muerta Formation is the most prolific source rock of the basin. Today, with approximately 110 MBls/d of oil and 1 Bcf of gas production from 1400 wells, it represents 5% and 23% of the total production of oil and gas of Argentina.

Este es un estudio comparativo realizado en los campos petroleros Quifa (Colombia) y la Faja Petrolífera del Orinoco, bloque Ayacucho (área de Huyapari, Venezuela). Sobre los métodos de producción aplicables para incrementar el factor de recobro en crudos pesados en la Faja. Estudios muestran que los factores de recobro aún son bajos 12% en comparación con los crudos livianos y medianos ubicados en las mismas cuencas.
This report contains an exploration review of the Colorado Basin, located in southeastern Argentina, it has onshore and most extensive offshore sections with more than 125,000 Km2 of total extension. The basin has more than 70 years of exploration history, with a few wells drilled, one of them recovered 39º API Oil from Early Cretaceous Syn-rift sandstone. Three main plays were identified, with high exploration potential: Rift Margin Play, Continental Slope Play, and Thrust belt play.
