The Oil and Gas Habitats of the South Atlantic (Geological Society Special Publication)

The South Atlantic petroleum province contains 4.3% of the world's discovered oil reserves and 2.4% of the world's discovered gas reserves. It contains a wide range of source rocks, reservoirs and trap types. There is a current sharp rise in reserve additions after technology has allowed for deepwater exploration.
