Barrancas
A property with asphaltite exploration interest. Its evaluation reconstructs the geological setting of known occurrences to guide future reconnaissance work.
Background for exploration guidanceProject · Asphaltite
Asphaltites of southern Mendoza
Four properties focused on the study of asphaltite occurrences within the sedimentary systems of southern Mendoza.
Project framework
Geological context
The project is located in a region with a long history of geological and hydrocarbon research. Historical records are used to guide new investigations and are not extrapolated into present-day economic conclusions.
The evaluation seeks to understand the distribution, geometry and geological controls of the occurrences by integrating background information, regional interpretation, mapping and field reconnaissance.
The objective at this stage is to improve interpretation and prioritize areas or questions that warrant more detailed study, without anticipating technical or economic conclusions.
Properties
A property with asphaltite exploration interest. Its evaluation reconstructs the geological setting of known occurrences to guide future reconnaissance work.
Background for exploration guidanceA property approached through geological reinterpretation, without assuming continuity or economic potential until sufficient technical evidence is available.
Background for exploration guidanceA property whose conceptual analysis examines the relationship between local structures, sedimentary units and the presence of solid hydrocarbons.
Background for exploration guidanceA property that broadens the regional analysis and allows different expressions of mineralization to be compared within the same territorial setting.
