The Aquitaine Basin, Stratigraphic and Structural History, Petroleum Geology

The Aquitaine Basin is located in the south-western part of France, extending from the Gironde Arch to the north, to the Pyrenean Mountain Chain to the south. It corresponds to a triangular shape domain of 35000 km2 acreage. This presentation aims to describe the history and the dominant Petroleum System of the Aquitaine Basin including both its northern and southern domains. This is an original approach compared to most of the presentations already published.
