Energy, 1981, vol. 6, issue 11, 1113-1140

Abstract: As a consequence of exploration for hydrocarbons, and of research programs conducted by academic and international institutions, substantial progress has been made in recent years in definition of hydrocarbon bearing basins, and those potentially so, in Southeast Asia and the South China Sea. Basins and depositional provinces now recognized include: the Thai Basin, the Malay Basin, West Natuna and Penyu Basins, Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) and Mekong (Vung Tau) Basins, East Natuna area, the Greater Sarawak Basin including Central Luconia and Balingian depositional provinces, the Baram Delta/Brunei-Sabah Basin and the Northwest Palawan Shelf. Where hydrocarbons have been encountered, the deposits are commonly associated with rocks of mid- and Upper Miocene age. Oligocene and Pliocene occurrences are locally significant.
