Location: Carson / Bonnition Basin
Parcel Area: 188,420 hectares
Water depth: 100 - >1000 m
Released Seismic Data: 2063.28 km
Data Vintages: 1971 –1985
Play Types:
- Base of Tertiary fans and turbidites
- Cretaceous and Jurassic sands in tilted
fault blocks
- Pinch out of Jurassic sands and
carbonates against the Base of Tertiary
unconformity and over the basement
high on the NW end of the line
This line clearly shows the high terrace
along the western part of the Carson Basin
dropping off to the east where a thick
Jurassic section is preserved. No Lower
Cretaceous has been interpreted to be
present in this part of the Carson Basin.
The Jurassic section has been deformed by
salt movement resulting in steeply dipping
beds that terminate against the base of
Tertiary unconformity providing the
opportunity for stratigraphic traps.
Overlying the Jurassic section, fans and
turbidite deposits are interpreted in the
Lower Tertiary. To the east of the basement
ridge, tilted fault blocks provide the
opportunity for structural traps within the
Jurassic.
