From Cretaceous Algae to the Fuel Pump – The Geological Odyssey. Of Guyana-Suriname Super Basin Petroleum
The Guyana–Suriname Basin, a significant offshore petroleum province, traces its hydrocarbon origins to Cretaceous oceanic conditions. The basin’s rich source rocks, developed during Oceanic Anoxic Events, have led to large-scale oil generation, migration, and modern offshore production. Its crude oil is vital for Europe’s energy needs, embodying a geological narrative from ancient times to contemporary…
