STRUCTURE
Granitic rocks were penetrated in three wells (M-3, M-96,
and S-262) which suggests that the basement underlying
the Cerro Prieto area corresponds to the Upper Creta
ceous granitic and metasedimentary rocks outcropping
in the Cucapa Range to the west and southwest. The
subsurface structure is characterized by complex block
