Descrição

The Algarve Basin is the southernmost geological province of portugal. The nowledge of its offshore geology is limited to a few hydrocarbon exploration wells and seismic profiles. Two of these wells, Ruivo-1 and Corvina, were studied in order to assess its organic maturation levels and age using the biostratigraphy of dinoflagellate cysts. The well Ruivo-1 intercepted a thick Callovian succession whereas the well Corvina intercepted a thick Oxfordian succession. Both Jurassic successions are within the oil-window.
