The Petroleum Geology and Exploration Potential of Argentina

Petroleum Geology of Sakhalin Island, Former U.S.S.R.

This report provides a summary of the geology and petroleum potential of Sakhalin Island and the adjoining offshore areas of the Soviet Union. Due to project restraints resulting from time and budget requirements, research has been based primarily on published information to provide the data necessary for the preparation of this report.

The first part of this study is an introduction to the geographic and political setting of the area and to the previous investigations. General information on the petroleum exploration, production, transportation, and refining infrastructure is also provided.

The second section consists of the regional geology of the area, including its geologic history and tectonic setting. Each of the prospective petroleum basins, and the major structural features of Sakhalin Island, are described in the third and fourth sections, respectively.

The fifth part is a discussion of the stratigraphy of the study area, with emphasis on the key source beds, reservoir rocks, and seals. Part six describes several oil and gas field examples.

In the seventh section is an analysis of Sakhalin's cumulative hydrocarbon production and an assessment of its recoverable resources, based on published data. The eighth part highlights the current political, economic, geological, and engineering activities and the constraints on future production.

The final section offers recommendations as to which areas of highest hydrocarbon potential warrant detailed investigation. A bibliography of references cited is also included. Copies of all references cited are available upon request.
