Characteristics of low-angle normal faulting in Serifos (Western Cyclades, Greece)

The Subandean Basins of South America extending from Trinidad to Tierra del Fuego have been the object of intensive exploratory activities (Fig. 1). The largest amount of hydrocarbons discovered during the last 30 years in these basins was found in complex structural terrains. A total of 59 Billion Barrels of Oil Equivalent (BBOE) have been discovered in areas affected by compressional tectonics. Of these basins, the largest discoveries are in the Furrial Trend of Venezuela (24 BBOE), followed by the Chaco area in Bolivia and Argentina (13 BBOE), the Llanos Foothills of Colombia (4.4 BBOE), and the Madre de Dios Basin of Peru (4.2 BBOE).
