The Monagas Fold–Thrust belt of Eastern Venezuela. Part II: Structural and palaeo-geographic controls on the turbidite reservoir potential of the middle Miocene foreland sequence

Sedimentological and ichnological signatures of changes in wave, river and tidal influence along a Neogene tropical deltaic shoreline

“…The ages were interpreted from biostratigraphic analysis and used to correlate throughout the studied area. A maximum flooding surface has been established in coincidence with the Oligocene–Miocene boundary (MFS 23), and is placed within third‐order depositional Sequence 1 of SM1 (Sánchez et al. , 2011).…”

“…, 2011). A younger maximum flooding surface in the Early Miocene (MFS 16) lies within the second‐order depositional Sequence 2 (SM2) (Sánchez et al. , 2011; Fig.…”

Stratigraphic evolution of a submarine channel–lobe complex system in a narrow fairway within the Magallanes foreland basin, Cerro Toro Formation, southern Chile

“…17A). Sánchez et al (2010) documented the formation of possibly similar paleovalleys created by variations in shortening along a thrust fault in the Monagas Fold-Thrust Belt in Venezuela that acted as a sediment pathway into the Miocene Maturín Sub-Basin.…”

Neotectonic evolution of Northeastern Venezuela . Geomorphological and seismic analysis in the Monagas Fold and Thrust Belt

“…All the seismic and well data was acquired by Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA). The interpretation was focused mainly in structure identification such as unconformities, structural highs, thrusts, and faults, based on stratigraphic markers interpreted and validated by the PDVSA multidisciplinary team, which has been working in the area for a long time (e.g., DiCroce et al, 1999;Duerto, 2007;Parra et al, 2010;Sánchez et al, 2010). 2D seismic interpretation was carried out in several zones of the area, but in this paper, we only show the seismic lines located across the surfaces structures described in the geomorphological study: seismic line M1 across the Tarragona high and lines M2, M3, M4, and M5 across the Amarilis, Punta de Mata and Jusepín highs (Fig.…”

“…Based on stratigraphic markers from wells (e.g., Sánchez et al, 2010) and seismic data acquired by PDVSA in the MFTB, we interpreted four seismic horizons (Figs. 2 and 7A).…”
