Geology
- The producing reservoir is the Triassic Argilo-Gréseux Inferieur (TAGI) which rests unconformably on Carboniferous strata. The structure has a proven oil column height of 293 meters on a three-way dip closure bounded on the east by a significant fault. Within the field area, the TAGI fluvial sandstones can be subdivided into three units, the Upper, Middle and Lower Members, on the basis of widespread shale markers. Triassic-Jurassic salts provide the regional seal overlie the reservoir interval. Silurian and Devonian shales are the source rock intervals.
