Abstract
Abstract
This work is focused in Salaverry Basin, Peruvian Andes Forearc, which contains three oil seeps sampled and
analyzed, suggesting at least one active petroleum system inside the basin. Seismic stratigraphic analysis
calibrated with available well and core data, and integrated with Apatite fission track (AFT) analysis was
performed in order to provide the spatial-temporal evolution of Cenozoic depositional systems in this basin. It has
been developed in extensional tectonic setting punctuated by compressive periods controlled by the interaction
between Nazca and South American plates, and Nazca ridge subduction. As a result, the Cenozoic succession
in the central portion of Salaverry Basin is best subdivided into eleven seismic stratigraphic sequences: 3
second-order sequences (S1, S2 and S5) and 8 third-order sequences (S3, S4, S6–S11), controlled
predominantly by tectonism and also by sea-level fluctuations. Indeed, this work adds new potential reservoir
rocks in the S1, S2, S4, S5, S7 and S8 sequences; and seal rocks in the S3, S6, S7 and S9–S11 ones for the
petroleum systems previously defined in the basin: Upper Jurassic Chicama – Cenozoic (.) and Albian La Zorra –
Cenozoic (.). Fission track thermochronology analysis on apatite suggest a main uplift event in the basin at ca.
25 Ma, which triggered the erosion of Oligocene rocks and the uppermost section of the Upper Eocene deposits,
and is correlated with the Incaic III Andean tectonic phase. These new petroleum system elements are related to
the potential plays proposed in this work, which in turn through a follow-up assessment would become in very
attractive exploratory prospects located in Salaverry Basin central portion.
