This report is an overview of the geology and petroleum resource potential of Bolivia. Because of budget and time constraints, the research for this report has largely utilized published information sources. Additional unpublished geologic, geochemical and seismic data has been made available and has been incorporated into the report where possible. Furthermore, large amounts of unpublished YPFB and oil company geologic, geochemical and seismic data exist, but were unavailable for this report. Finally, published YPFB literature is not generally available in this country.

The first chapter of this report is an overview of the geopolitical setting of Bolivia. The second chapter contains a summary of the regional geology and tectonics and the third chapter is a brief discussion of structure. The stratigraphy of Bolivia is described in the fourth chapter; the similarity of the stratigraphy in the Subandean and Altiplano zones is pointed out in this section.

In the fifth chapter, the petroleum geology is discussed. This section includes overviews of source rocks, time of migration, reservoirs, seals, traps and seeps. Much of the sixth chapter is concerned with the exploration and production by YPFB and foreign operators. It includes a brief discussion of the small oil and moderate gas reserves discovered in Bolivia. The final chapter sets forth conclusions and recommendations concerning the oil and gas potential of Bolivia. The Bibliography includes the principle references utilized in this study. Geologic, geochemical and geophysical data obtained for this study are included in Appendix 1. Current news releases regarding exploration, production and development are contained in Appendix 2.
