CONCLUSIONS

• STRATIGRAPHIC SECTION OF CUBAN BASINS INCLUDES A
  THICK MARINE JURASIC CRETACEOUS SEDIMENT
  DEPOSITED WITHIN THE PROLIFIC GULF OF MEXICO
  PETROLEUM MEGAPROVINCE

20
CONCLUSIONS

• CUBAN FOLDED - THRUSTED BELT CONTAINS HIGH
  QUALITY SOURCE ROCKS OF JURASSIC AND CRETACEOUS
  AGE WITH REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION AND A FAVOURABLE
  TIMING OF HYDROCARBON GENERATION AND ENTRAPMENT.

21
CONCLUSIONS

• WIDE RANGE OF OIL QUALITIES IN CUBA.
• LIGHTER OILS IN CENTRAL STRIP OF THE ISLAND, IN
  NORTHWESTERN PART OF CUBA AND IN DEPTH.
• CUBAN HEAVY OILS ARE MAINLY UNMATURES OILS

22
CONCLUSIONS

• CUBA HAS AN EXCELLENT HYDROCARBON POTENTIAL. THE
  DISCOVERY OF LARGE OIL FIELDS IS POSSIBLE.
