Molecular Zoning of Eocene and Miocene Age Deposits, North of Maracaibo Lake Basin

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to document the molecular zoning of trapped crudes in La Rosa Basal Formation (BLR) / Arenas B, located in Block I, in the West of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, specifically in the Lake Maracaibo Basin, in areas VLA0016 and VLA0033 of the Lagomar Production Unit. For the development of this study, a collection of the crude samples in the field following the standard methodology was carried out. Then, at the laboratory level, the atomic relationships between compounds were determined to establish the physicalchemical transformation of the organic material from its deposition to their current state.
