Huallaga Basin Petroleum Systems The Huallaga Basin is part of the sub-Andean fold-thrust belt in the foothills of Eastern Cordillera of Peru. It is a NNW-SSE trending elongated basin about 400 km long and 100 km maximum width located between 76o - 77oW and 6o - 9oS . The basin is bounded to the north by the Santiago Basin. To the east, the Huallaga Basin is separated from the Marañon Basin foredeep by the NE-vergent Shanusi-Chazuta thrust, which overthrusts the WNW-ESE-oriented Contaya Arch. To the west, the basin is bounded by the Eastern Cordillera, and to the south it progressively terminates into the sub-Andean fold-thrust belt. The basin area covered by the Cenozoic sediments is approximately 20,380 km2 (2,044,760 hectares). In the present evaluation, the study area includes the Huallaga Basin proper as well as the fold-thrust belt separating it from the Marañon Basin. There is no charge for this report. |
