This conference explored numerous aspects of the petroleum systems of the South Atlantic basins with particular reference to the Mesozoic Gondwana break-up of Southern Africa, South America and Antarctica and its subsequent influence on hydrocarbon prospectivity. Whilst several of these basins are producing hydrocarbon provinces others remain to be fully explored.
Papers were presented on the Falkland Islands, Antarctica, South and West Africa, and South America covering a wide range of topics, including: regional palaeo geographic evolution, lithospheric structure, distribution of petroleum source intervals, latest developments in exploration activity and the application of innovative technologies.
