OIL AND GAS POTENTIAL

• Demonstrated source rocks levels
• Large structures for giant oil fields
• Regionally extended seals associated mainly to
  marginal basins
• Carbonate reservoirs similar to those present in
  analogous neighboring areas
• Oil and gas production in oilfields offshore
  northern coast of Cuba and oil gas seeps

ALL INFORMATION SUPPORT THE HYPOTHESIS OF THE
EXISTENCE OF A NEW LARGE PETROLEUM PROVINCE AND
WITH SERVERAL GIANT OIL OR GAS FIELDS.
