Caribbean Offshore Basin • PETROLEUM POTENTIAL: • Source Rock: UpperCretaceous & Oligocene age.Proven byGas production, shows and seafloor samples (oil). • Reservoir Rocks: Tertiary Sands of Cratonic (non-volcanic) origin delivered by major rivers. • Seals: Thick Upper Oligocene & Middle Miocene shaly units. • Play Types: Structures associated to oblique subduction. Accretionary prism with thrust and transform faults. • GENERAL ISSUES: • Water Depth: From shore to 2,000 meters. • Transport Facilities: There is an oil shipping port and two gas pipeline systems Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos

Colombia CaribbeanCretaceous Source Rocks • Oil-prone Cretaceous source rocks (2 – 14 % TOC, average 5.6%). Type II, Hydrogen Index between 39 and 1164 mg/g, abundant oil seeps in the San Jacinto Foldbelt • Oil-prone Cretaceous source rocks (2 – 15 % TOC) on Caribbean oceanic crust in Costa Rica • 700 km of the Cretaceous Caribbean Plate has underthrusted the NW Colombia accretionary prism, potentially yielding a significant hydrocarbon charge Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos
Colombia CaribbeanOligocene Source Rocks • 2-3% TOC in the Onshore Sinu Foldbelt and Plato/San Jorge Basins (oil & gas-prone) • Live oil found in piston cores was typed like Oligocene (BP 1993 & Texaco 1999) • The seabed coring data indicates biogenic and thermogenic gas presence • Biogenic gas originated from upper Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocene source rocks (Northeast Fields) Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos
Oligocene Reservoirs (Sinu Fold Belt) • Quartz Sand (75% Qz), fine to medium grained sandstones and some conglomeratic sandstones • Porosity between 5% to 15%, average 12%; good permeability; medium to well sorted. • Turbidites, channels and submarine fans of considerable extension. • Oligocene outcrops with thickness of 1200 feet of sandstones Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos
