EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Project Description
The Ucayali/Ene Basin Report is another in a series of reports generated by PARSEP
(Projecto de Asistencia para La Reglamentacion del Sector Energetico del Peru), on
the hydrocarbon potential of the Sub-Andean basins of Peru. The methodology is
similar to the Maranon and other basinal reports already generated. The data, both
well and seismic (from the archives of PeruPetro), was generated in digital format so
that the work could be done on computer workstations for speed and efficiency.
Geology
The Ucayali Basin is one of the sub-Andean Basins of Peru with a prospective area of
105,000 km2 and some 5,000m of sedimentary infill. The Basin borders on the
Brazilian Shield to the east and extends 650 km in length south from the Maraon
Basin to the Madre de Dios Basin and 250 km in width east from the Fold Thrust Belt
to beyond the Brazilian border. In the context of this study, the Ene Basin is
considered to be simply a continuation of the thin-skinned deformation front which
extends south from the Huallaga Basin and through the Oxapampa wells located
directly north of the Ene Basin as it is currently defined.
The Ucayali Basin includes thick sedimentary stratigraphic sequences that extend far
beyond the present Ucayali Basin and merge with the greater Maraon and the Acre
and Solimoes basins in Brazil and eventually pinch out onto the Brazilian and Guiana
Shields. The geological evolution of the greater Ucayali Basin area is controlled by
two regional tectonic systems recognized in the sub-Andean basins of Peru. The first,
the pre-Andean System, encompasses three cycles of Ordovician, Devonian and
Permo-Carboniferous ages overlying the Precambrian basement of the Guyana and
Brazilian Shields. The second, the Andean System, was initiated with the beginning
of subduction along the western margin of Peru. It encompasses several megastratigraphic sequences and numerous minor sedimentary cycles, ranging from Late
Permian to the Present.
The dominant structural form of the Basin is major basement-involved thrusting
which in many cases is the result of reactivated Paleozoic normal faults, and along its
western margin, it is one of detached thrusts along almost its entirety. The western
thrust front can be divided into three segments; the northern Ucayali FTB, the
Oxapampa/Ene FTB and the Camisea FTB. The first two are separated by a lateral
ramp and the later two are divided by the Shira Mountains.
At present, three oilfields (Agua Caliente, Maquia and Pacaya) and five gascondensate fields (Aguaytia, San Martin, Cashiriari, Pagoreni and Mipaya) have been
discovered in the Ucayali Basin. Maquia and Agua Caliente fields are currently the
only producing oil fields, with the Pacaya Field being shut-in. Of the four gas
condensate fields only Aguaytia is on production although the Camisea fields are
under development and expected to be on production in the near future. The main

reservoirs in the Basin are Cretaceous continental and marine sandstones with
subordinate Upper Permian lacustrine, eolian and restricted marine sandstones.
Wells
Standardized composite well logs were generated for all the wells with available logs,
and used to create a grid of cross-sections over the Basin. Approximately 40 wells
were used in this study.
Seismic
As the well coverage in this basin is relatively sparse, the study is largely driven by
seismic interpretation. This meant that the seismic data had to be loaded onto
workstations for interpretation. Upon doing so it was found that several of the data
sets did not tie properly. A considerable amount of time was lost in analyzing the
errors and correcting the positional data to a standard datum in this case, a UTM
WGS-84 grid and re-loading all the data. The seismic data was interpreted in two
sections, designated Ucayali North and Ucayali South. The northern half was
interpreted and mapped using Kernel Technologys WinPics software on a PC
platform; Ucayali South was interpreted and mapped on Schlumberger GeoQuest
IESX software on a Sun Platform running in a UNIX environment.
Interpretation
The interpretation for the Ucayali project is supported by ten regional stratigraphic
cross sections, designed to include almost all the wells in the Basin and six regional
structural profiles. A total of ten two-way time structure maps were generated from
the geophysical interpretation, along with six Isochron maps.
An attempt has been made within the time framework of this study to produce a
standardized stratigraphic column for the Ucayali Basin. This attempt has been
partially successful, but there are still a number of unanswered questions that may
form the basis of further study.
The Ucayali/Ene Basin Study was intended to be a regional work, integrating as much
data as possible within the Basin to investigate whether new exploration concepts,
etc., could be defined. It was not intended to be an exploration exercise where the
ultimate goal is in defining drillable prospects. Ultimately however, in a study such
as this, certain prospects and leads do emerge. During the process of this evaluation
two structural prospects and two stratigraphic leads were defined. It should be noted
that there are numerous other structural leads in the Basin and these have been well
documented in other Perupetro reports. The two stratigraphic leads, the Mashansha
Channel Play and the Cushabatay South Pucar play, on the other hand are new
concepts and believed to be only partially representative of what can be found when a
concentrated effort in exploring for stratigraphic traps is applied.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Southern Sub-Andean Basin Project is the last of several by the PARSEP Group
on the evaluation of the hydrocarbon potential of the Sub-Andean Basins of Peru.
PARSEP is an acronym for Proyecto de Asistencia para La Reglamentacin del
Sector Energtico del Per and is a joint venture between the governments of Peru
and Canada. The parties comprising PARSEP are: the Canadian International
Development Agency (CIDA), the Canadian Petroleum Institute (CPI), Teknica
Overseas Ltd. (TOL), and PERUPETRO. The technical work on this project is being
done by personal from TOL and PERUPETRO. The basins evaluated previously
were in Northeastern Peru, and included the Huallaga, Santiago and Maraon Basins.

Peru.

This phase of the project was originally proposed to complete three independent
studies on the Ucayali, Ene and Madre de Dios Basins. The Ene Basin after
reviewing the regional geology, however is considered for all intensive purposes to be
part of the Ucayali Basin by the PARSEP Group and consequently its evaluation has
been incorporated within contents of this study. There was a debate whether to
include the Madre de Dios Basin as well but it was ultimately decided to do a separate
report on this Basin. This restructuring has resulted in this PARSEP study being
called the Ucayali/Ene Basin Technical Report

10

Unlike the previous PARSEP studies, the one on the Ucayali/Ene Basin is not as
complete an evaluation as the one done for the Maraon Basin (PARSEP 2002) in that
certain sections such as geochemistry, basin modeling and prospective areas have
been reduced or omitted. The emphasis of the last years work has been on data
gathering, quality controlling and correcting the data, and in defining the stratigraphic
and structural framework of the Basin. Despite receiving critical data sets needed for
the interpretation within the last month of the study to complete this analysis, most of
these objectives have been met. This study represents an excellent staging point from
which a more detailed examination of the Basin can be continued.
All the SEGY data utilized in this project was supplied by Perupetro and was
interpreted primarily utilizing a Schlumberger GeoQuest UNIX based seismic
interpretation software and with Kernel Technologys WinPICs PC based seismic
interpretation software. The seismic data was tied (bulk-shifted, phase rotated and
amplitude-tied) utilizing Kernel Technologys SMAC software. On the geological
side, Geographixs and DigiRule software were used extensively for mapping, well log
preparation and cross-section construction. Microsoft Access was utilized to design a
standardized, exportable well database in the same format carried forward from the
previous PARSEP Studies.
The PARSEP Team would like to thank Perupetro, CPI and Teknica for their
technical and logistical support on this project and CIDA for making this project a
possibility through their financial support.

2.0 SCOPE OF PROJECT

When this project was initiated it was intended to be a regional geological and
geophysical evaluation of the southeastern Peruvian Sub-Andean Basins focusing on
the identification of new play types. It was hoped not to be a rework of previous
Ucayali/Ene Basin studies of which there have been a number of excellent ones. The
focus was to examine the Basin in slightly a different manner than others had before
in the past. The manner in which to do this was though the interpretation of a
seamless digital seismic and well data set, with each being tied to one another
combined with an analysis of the exploratory drilling history in the Basin since 1990.
Supplementing the work done by the PARSEP Group were two additional studies:
1. Geochemical: by Hans Von Der Dick, ChemTerra International Ltd.
2. Tectonic: by Tony Tankard, Tankard Enterprises
Although both of these studies were originally initiated for the Maraon Basin study
(PARSEP, 2002), they were sufficiently regional in nature to have application for this
evaluation of the Ucayali Basin.
One of the more time consuming aspects of this evaluation was the standardization
and quality control of the data. Digital curve data was compiled and corrected for
each of the New Field Wildcats in the Basin (Figure 2). A composite log for each
well was constructed, which if available included a Caliper, SP, Gamma Ray, Deep
and Shallow Resistivity, Density, Neutron and Sonic curve. These composite logs are
available as an LAS file as part of this report. A series of 9 cross-sections were strung
across the Basin to standardize the stratigraphy that was to be utilized in the
geological mapping module of this project. Where possible, a synthetic for each of
the wells was made and tied to seismic. A standardized well database in Access was
developed in which is included every new field wildcat well in the Basin with
standardized well tops, and other information when available was input.
The principal seismic data set utilized and interpreted in the project consisted of over
14,000 kilometers of 2D SEGY data, which represents coverage throughout most of
the Basin (Figure 2). Perhaps one of the more notable accomplishments of this study
was in the assemblage of this data set. Seismic data acquisition on this project began
in November 2001 and has continued on through to the time of this writing. Clearly
the lack of readily accessible data in the earlier stages of this project was a major
roadblock for the group with respect to the completion of this study. A further
complication was the realization that after 50% of the data had been loaded and
partially interpreted on the workstation, was that the navigational data supplied to the
group was incorrect. To correct this Perupetro brought in a contractor to correct the
errors by going back to the original field records and maps. All data was then
standardized to a UTM WGS-84 grid, and reloaded. Despite all these quality control
steps, the data set although much better than what was previously available, is far
from being perfect. One of the current discrepancies is between wells and seismic
locations as there is not an exact 1 to 1

correlation. Well coordinates were obtained from a multitude of sources utilizing

different grid systems. After converting the locations to a UTM WGS-84 grid, a bestfit approach was taken utilizing various data sets as certain groups of wells from one
data set fell nicely on seismic line intersections in one part of the Basin and not in
another. Clearly this is an issue that needs to be addressed in future studies.
As mentioned previously, the study as it was originally proposed was to include
separate reports on the Ene and Madre de Dios Basins. Within the Ene Basin there
are only six seismic lines available all showing considerable structuration as a result
of intense imbricate faulting and consequently there was little in which to support a
separate report. In the context of this study, the Ene Basin is considered to be simply
a continuation of the thin-skinned deformation front which extends south from the
Huallaga Basin and through the Oxapampa wells located directly north of the Ene
Basin as it is currently defined. This thrust front in part overrides the Shira
Mountains, an older positive feature, which ultimately dissects the front, separating
the Oxapampa-Ene segment from the Camisea segment. As such, the Ene Basin and
Ucayali Basin analysis has been incorporated into one single report.

The Madre de Dios Basin (Figure 3) however is somewhat more isolated from the

contiguous data sets) from it as well. As a result this Basin will be covered within its
own separate report. The well data sets (Las and Access) of the Madre de Dios Basin,
however is included within the Ucayali data set on CD in the Appendices of this

3.0 PREVIOUS WORK IN THE STUDY AREA

Drilling activity in the sub-Andean Basins of Peru began in 1937 with the drilling of
Ganso Azul #1 to test the Agua Caliente surface structure located in the Ucayali
Basin. This well discovered oil pay in the Cretaceous Cushabatay Formation at 311
meters. The well was twinned and flowed 2000 BOPD of 43o API oil with an open
choke. Five more wells were drilled on the structure eventually proving up 14.7
MMBO. Subsequent to the development of the Agua Caliente Field, during the 40s
and 50s, numerous companies were doing fieldwork in the sub-Andean Basins of
Peru and as a result several more wells were drilled. The next discovery, however,
was not until 1957 with the discovery of the Maquia Field. This was made by the El
Oriente Oil Company just west of the Contaya Arch in the northern Ucayali Basin.
This small field (20 MMBO) was put on stream with the 37o API oil being barged to
refineries in Iquitos and Pucallpa.
Contemporaneously with this discovery, the Cerro De Pasco Petroleum Corp. drilled
five dry holes with gas shows near Oxapampa within the Ucayali fold and thrust belt
to the west of the Shira Mountains. During this time in 1962, Mobil made a gas
condensate discovery with Cretaceous reservoirs at Aguaytia in the central Ucayali
Basin. This field did not live up to its initial promise and plans for a gas pipeline to
Lima were cancelled.
Through most of the remainder of the 60s and into the early 70s, exploration was
virtually none existent as the petroleum concession system had been annulled by
decree. By the beginning of the 1970s the Peruvian Sub-Andean production from
Maquia and Agua Caliente, at 2,500 BOPD, comprised less than five percent of the
countrys output.
The Sub-Andean Basins of Peru in 70s saw a renewed interest in exploration with
significant discoveries being made in the Maraon Basin of northeastern Peru and the
Oriente Basin of Ecuador. During this time, six exploratory wells were drilled in the
Ucayali Basin, one each by El Oriente and Hispanoil and four by Burmah Oil. All
were D&A. To the south of the Ucayali Basin in the Madre de Dios Basin, in the
mid-70s, Cities Service and Andes Petroleum shot seismic and between them drilled
five dry holes.
In the southern Ucayali Basin, Shell Oil in 1978/80 after extensive field geological
studies, signed blocks 38 and 42. Their first well within the foreland area of Basin,
Sepa 1X recovered a small amount of oil from the Carboniferous before it was
ultimately abandoned. This was followed up with the San Martin 1X well within the
fold and thrust belt of the Ucayali in 1983 which flowed 41 MMCFGPD Gas and
1,626 BCPD from a Cretaceous/Permian section. The next wildcat by Shell,
Cashiriari 1X was drilled in 1986 and flowed 56.7 MMCFGPD and 1,553 BCPD from
a section similar to that tested by the San Martin 1X well. One appraisal each of these
two fields was drilled indication reserves over 8 TCF gas and 300 MMB condensate,
with considerable upside. Shell also made several other gas discoveries afterwards
but nothing replicating the success of the San Martin and Cashiriari discoveries. By
1988, however, Shell had been unable to reach an agreement with respect to
developing these discoveries and ceased all exploration activities. At this time, Shell
15

also relinquished the Madre de Dios Basin foothills acreage where they have recorded
500 km of seismic. Other activity in the Basin during the 80s included 4 wells by
Petroperu and 2 by Occidental Petroleum. Despite the occurrence of significant oil
shows in several of these wells, all were plugged and abandoned.
The 90s saw Petroperu drill their last well in the Basin, the Cachiyacu 1X well in the
northern Ucayali Basin in 1992. Shortly there afterwards, the legal framework, which
currently governs the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons, was passed in
August 1993 allowing companies to operate under either a Service or License
contract. In November 1993, the Peruvian government set up a new state agency,
Perupetro, to deal with contract negotiations, on the governments behalf, talking over
Pertroperus former role. As a result, industrys interest in Peru was heightened and
several new blocks were signed. Activity further increased in 1996, which also saw
the initialization of the privatization process of Petroperu. Although never completed,
Petroperu sold all their producing properties and left the upstream sector. Drilling
and leasing remained active through the rest of 90s. Six exploratory wells were
drilled during this time with no success. During this time Shell returned to once more
make an attempt of making the Camisea project a reality, which included the drilling
of the Pagoreni 1X gas/condensate discovery well in the area, but negotiations broke
down with the government, and Shell abandoned the project.
The concession containing the giant Camisea gas project was won by Pluspetrol in the
year 2000. They have worked since then on bringing the project closer to production.
The only exploratory well drilled in the Basin was done so by Repsol in the central
portion of the Basin in 2002. It was plugged as a dry hole with oil shows in the
Paleozoic section.
A chronological listing of new field wildcats drilled in the Ucayali Basin is presented
in Appendix 1.

4.0 GEOLOGY OF THE UCAYALI/ENE AREA

4.1 GENERAL BASIN DESRIPTION
The Ucayali Basin is one of the sub-Andean Basins of Peru (Figure 1) with a
prospective area of 105,000 km2 and some 5,000m of sedimentary infill. The Basin
borders on the Brazilian Shield to the east and extends 650 km in length south from
the Maraon Basin to the Madre de Dios Basin and 250 km in width east from the
Fold Thrust Belt to beyond the Brazilian border. It has been discontinuously explored
since 1939 with much of the basin still remaining under-explored.
Seismic and well data indicates that an almost complete composite sedimentary
section of Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic ages was deposited in the Basin.
However, the Basins present configuration shows a discontinuous preservation of the
pre-Cretaceous sedimentary succession overlying the crystalline Basement revealing a
complex tectonic evolution that involved most phases of the Caledonian and
Hercynian pre-Andean and Andean aged tectonic events.
The sedimentary fill of the Ucayali Basin is fairly similar to the southeast Maraon
Basin, comprising up to 3000m of Tertiary continental molasses clastics overlying
westerly thickening wedges of mainly marine Cretaceous Jurassic and Triassic, and an
extremely variable section of Paleozoic. The principal difference between the two
basins are; a) the thinning of the Cretaceous section from north to south as it onlaps a
progressively elevated Paleozoic section (Figure 19), and b) a dramatic thickening of
the Paleozoic section through a southerly thickening of Devonian and a Carboniferous
Ambo section, and increased erosional preservation of Permian sediments beneath the
Cretaceous unconformity.
The dominant structural form of the Basin is major basement-involved thrusting
which in many cases is the result of reactivated Paleozoic normal faults, and along its
western margin, it is one of detached thrusts along almost its entirety. The western
thrust front is interrupted north of the Oxapampa area by an inferred lateral ramp with
the northern section being offset to the west, and south of the Ene Basin by the Shira
uplift, which separates it from the Camisea Fold and Thrust Belt (FTB). This later
segment contains the giant Cashiriari and San Martin Gas Fields. For clarification
purposes, this study considers the Ene Basin to be just a continuation of the
Oxapampa fold belt west of and abutting against the Shira Mountains to its east.
At present, three oilfields (Agua Caliente, Maquia and Pacaya) and five gascondensate fields (Aguaytia, San Martin, Cashiriari, Pagoreni and Mipaya) have been
discovered in the Ucayali Basin. Maquia and Agua Caliente fields are currently the
only producing oil fields, with the Pacaya Field being shut-in. Of the five gas
condensate fields only Aguaytia is on production although the Camisea fields are
under development and expected to be on production in the near future. The main
reservoirs in the Basin are Cretaceous continental and marine sandstones with
subordinate Upper Permian lacustrine, eolian and restricted marine sandstones.
Despite the insignificant current oil production (approx 600 bopd) from three small oil
and gas fields, the presence of the giant Camisea Field (13 TCF of gas and over 500
17

MMBC) in the southernmost part of the Basin has offered sufficient encouragement to
keep companies exploring for hydrocarbons in the Basin. Many large structures are
still untested and the presence of light oil shows encountered in the majority of the
wells mark this region as one of the more promising onshore areas in Peru.
The available data appears to indicate that the lower Paleozoic section has fair
reservoir potential and some possible oil source potential (Cabanillas) in parts of the
Basin, which has not been adequately tested. The Upper Paleozoic section
(Carboniferous and Permian) exhibit good source rock potential in the shales of the
Ambo Group and Ene Formation, and fair to good reservoir quality potential in the
sandstones of the Ambo and Tarma Groups (Green Sandstones) and Ene Formations.
The Mesozoic section, although thinning from north to south, also has good quality
reservoirs within the Oriente Group and Chonta and Vivian Formations.
4.2 REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The Ucayali Basin includes thick sedimentary stratigraphic sequences that extend far
beyond the present Ucayali Basin and merge with the greater Maraon and the Acre
and Solimoes basins in Brazil and eventually pinch out onto the Brazilian and Guiana
Shields. The geological evolution of the greater Ucayali Basin area is controlled by
two regional tectonic systems recognized in the sub-Andean basins of Peru. The first,
the pre-Andean System, encompasses three cycles of Ordovician, Devonian and
Permo-Carboniferous ages overlying the Precambrian basement of the Guyana and
Brazilian Shields. The second, the Andean System, was initiated with the beginning
of subduction along the western margin of Peru. It encompasses several megastratigraphic sequences and numerous minor sedimentary cycles, ranging from Late
Permian to the Present. The stratigraphic column that has been used by PARSEP in
the Ucayali Basin is representative of all NE Peru and is presented in Figure 4.
4.2.1 Pre-Andean System
The pre-Andean tectonic cycle includes Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian and the
Permo-Carboniferous cycles all overlying crystalline/metamorphic Basement. This
tectonic system preserved discontinuous successions of Ambo/Cabanillas/Contaya
and a more continuous Tarma/Copacabana/ and Ene/Red Bed Groups which reveal
complex tectonics that includes a possible pre-Cabanillas rifting and peneplanation
and a late Permian uplift and erosional episode.
Ordovician aged sediments initiate the pre-Andean cycle and are represented by the
siliciclastic Contaya Formation. In NE Peru, as found within the Maraon Basin, the
Contaya Formation has a thickness of up to 150m. A maximum thickness of 4500m,
however, has been reported for the cycle in the Eastern Range of southern Peru. The
Contaya Formation outcrops in the Contaya Mountains of the northern Ucayali Basin.
Although not within the studied basins, next in the succession is the Silurian, which is
represented by argillites, flysch and tillites, and can reach thicknesses up to 1000m in
southern Peru (Laubacher, 1978). The Silurian cycle merges with that of the
Devonian, which is comprised of sediments of the Cabanillas Group. Cabanillas aged
sediments have been deposited in the Madre de Dios, Ucayali and Maraon Basins.

Figure 4: Stratigraphic Columns for the Sub-Andean Basins of Peru, highlighting the Ucayali Basin

In the south of Peru, Devonian sediments reach thicknesses of up to 2000m, while in

northern Peru, the maximum thickness attained is 1000m. Unlike the Maraon Basin,
rocks of Devonian age are quite extensive in the Ucayali Basin, particularly in its
southern half and have been encountered in a number of wells, and thick sequences
can be seismically identified in the South-Central Ucayali Basin. An example of such
is shown in Figure 5 where up to 600 msec of Devonian sediments (and possibly
older) can be mapped within a series of isolated half grabens.

In Late Devonian, the large Arequipa granitic terrain docked into the western South
American Continent. The Pisco Abancay deflection is more or less coincidental with
the north boundary of this block and the southern boundary is in turn marked by the
Africa deflection in northern Chile (Anadarko, 1999). The docking of this large
terrain probably produced the Eo-Hercynean compression in the Late Devonian and
resulted in a major unconformity underlying sediments of Carboniferous age (Figure
6). The Eo-Hercynean compressional event affected the Ucayali Basin directly as it
produced a swarm of northsouth oriented faults. Many of them are left lateral
transpressive, and accommodated the Arequipa Massif as it docked into place. These
north-south faults are very important as they established the structural grain of the
weakness in the basement of the Ucayali Basin and have been reactivated in one
fashion or another every time the area was subject to diastrophism. For instance the
north-south grain has been affected by structural inversion through wrenching, caused
by Andean compressive episodes in the Late Cretaceous and Tertiary.
The Permo-Carboniferous is next in the succession and is found resting
unconformably over the Devonian Cycle (Figure 6) and/or Ordovician sediments and
Basement in the uplifted areas. Rocks of this age have a widespread distribution
throughout the Andean Range, the subsurface of the Peruvian eastern basins, and in
the Brazilian Acre and Solimoes Basins. In the Peruvian basins, the earliest
Carboniferous sedimentation began with the Ambo Group, which was deposited as
continental to shallow marine, fine-grained sandstones, with interbedded siltstones,
gray shales, and occasional thin coal beds. These sediments are followed vertically by
the thin transgressive, clastic-rich Tarma Formation, which is overlain, usually
conformably, by the normally thick, massive shelf carbonates of the Copacabana
Formation.
The Tarma-Copacabana Group is widely distributed in most of the Andean basins. It
is predominantly a marine carbonate sequence although the cycle begins with a basal
fine- to coarse-grained sandstone, the Green Sandstone Unit. This is overlain by a
thick sequence of dark gray, fossiliferous limestones (wackestones, packstones and
grainstones), and thin interbeds of dark gray shales and anhydrites. The unit contains
several intervals with characteristic fusulinid forams of Permian age.
The
Copacabana limestones covered most of Sub-Andean Peru with the exception of the
Contaya Arch and several other structural highs, where the Cretaceous overlies rocks
of lower Paleozoic age. The Copacabana Formation in turn, was conformably
overlain by the Ene Formation, a sequence containing black organic rich shales,
dolomites and minor sandstones.
4.2.2 Andean System
The Andean System was initiated simultaneously with the beginning of subduction
along the Pacific margin. A major change in the tectonic regime along the
northwestern border of the South-American plate promoted isostatic rearrangements.
In a global scale, the initial phase of the Andean System developed during the
Pangaea break up (M. Barros & E. Carneiro, 1991). The development of the Andean
subduction zone during late Permian to early Triassic times is supported by geological
information gathered by Audebaud, et. al. (1976) along the Peruvian Eastern Range,
where they recognized a Permo-Triassic continental volcanic arc. The volcanic
Lavasen Formation, which is seen in outcrops unconformably underlying the Mitu

22

Group to the west of the Huallaga Basin (Serie A: Carta Geologica Nacional,
INGEMMET Bulletin No. 56, 1995) could be a remnant of this arc. The Lavasen
Formation is also found intruding older rocks such as the Ambo Formation. Its lower
member is a volcanic-sedimentary sequence with interbedded red clastics. The upper
member is comprised of thick lava flows and breccias.
In a study done for PARSEP on the Tectonic Framework of Basin Evolution in Peru
(A. Tankard, 2001), Tankard correlates the Juru Orogeny with the onset of our
above-defined Andean System. Towards the end of the Permian, relaxation of the
earlier extensional basin forming stresses that culminated in the deposition of the late
Permian aged Formations were interrupted by a regional uplift and a pronounced
unconformity that marks a first order sequence boundary after Ene-Red Bed Group
accumulation. This event is believed by Tankard (2001) to correspond to the Juru
event identified in the Acre and Solimoes Basins of the Brazilian upper Amazon.
Tankard (2001) describes a three-part cycle of basin formation and sedimentation that
is repeated throughout the Phanerozoic of South America. Typically each cycle
consists of (1) an early phase of rift-controlled subsidence and deposition of relatively
coarser-grained clastics, (2) abandonment of individual fault controlled subsidence
and yoking together of the various depocenters into a shallow epeiric basin, and
deposition of a widespread cover of finer clastics and potential petroleum source
rocks, and (3) a marked change in the stress fields resulting in structural inversion,
uplift and Orogeny.
The Late Permian Middle Jurassic tectono-stratigraphic cover accumulated in a
compartmentalized basin complex. This is demonstrated seismically in Figure 7 and
in map form, in Figure 8 (Late Triassic Middle Jurassic). The cover succession
consists of Mitu red beds in isolated rift segments, accumulation of finer-grained
Pucar clastics, limestones and evaporites, and termination in the widespread
Sarayaquillo blanket. Initiation of subsidence and deposition of the Mitu Formation is
attributed to a process of orogenic collapse following the late Hercynican Juru
Orogeny.
A regional supratidal sabkha environment developed at the transition between the
Pucar and Sarayaquillo Formations, which marks the beginning of the continental
and shallow marine deposition. Of stratigraphic significance to the western
Ucayali/Ene Basin area is the evaporitic unit associated with the sabkha deposition.
This unit has been tentatively named the Callanayacu Formation by Advantage who
completed extensive fieldwork in the fold and thrust belt between the Huallaga and
southern Maraon Basins (Advantage 2001). In the Peruvian Fold and Thrust Belt
this evaporitic unit can be traced over a distance of at least 700 km. These deposits
were intersected in subsurface by the Oxapampa 7-1 and Chio 1X wells in the central
part of the Ucayali Basin (Appendix 2e to 2h), and by the Putuime 1X well of the
Santiago Basin in its north. In between, extensive deposits of evaporites have been
identified in outcrop in the Huallaga Basin, and in the Fold Thrust Belt of the
westernmost Ucayali Basin. With further regression of the Jurassic sea the Pucar and
Callanayacu Formations were overlain by Middle to Late Jurassic continental red
beds of the Sarayaquillo Formation.

Termination of the Sarayaquillo deposition coincides with the later part of the
Jurassic, which is represented by the regional Nevadan unconformity over which lies
sediments of Cretaceous age. This is a boundary generally well recognized on
seismic, below which the Jurassic is seen to thicken westward and locally subcrop
with considerable angularity. Cretaceous deposition was initiated in the greater
Maraon/Ucayali Basin during Neocomian-Aptian times and was characterized by a
westerly thickening wedge of fluvial to marginal clastics occasionally punctuated by
carbonate sedimentation.
The Cretaceous epeiric sea deposition terminated during the Late Cretaceous with the
arrival of the first pulses of the Andean Orogeny (Peruvian and Incaic Phases) at
which time through to Middle Eocene time, molasse-styled deposition dominated the
Basin. This was punctuated during the Late Eocene to Early Oligocene by a marine
transgression that resulted in the deposition of the Pozo Formation, which is restricted
to the northern basins and to the north Ucayali. Molasse deposition resumed in the
Late Oligocene, which culminated during the Miocene Quechua deformation and has
continued through to the present.
4.3 GEOLOGY OF THE UCAYALI/ENE PROJECT AREA
4.3.1 Project Overview
PARSEP constructed a digital database from geological/geophysical data gathered
from an extensive set of old and recent exploration activities that were made available
to the group through the Perupetro technical archives. It was this database that was
updated and subsequently used as the basis for the geological interpretation of the
Ucayali/Ene Basin. The main database consists of wire-line logs and data from 40
new field wildcats and over 15,000 km of 2D seismic data. The seismic data set
provided for the Ene Basin was of an earlier processed version than the one used by
Elf in their evaluation of the Block 66 and was of considerably less quality. As a
result, the Elf interpretation was utilized for the evaluation of the Ene Basin area.
The Ucayali project is largely comprised of five subprojects: a) Collection and
standardization of geological information; b) The stratigraphic cross-section grid
project utilizing the data from (a); c) Collection of SEGY seismic data, navigational
data corrections and tying the various data sets; d) Geophysical interpretation; and e)
Structural profiles.
a) Collection and standardization of geological information Geological well
data and tops were collected and put into an ACCESS data base that was used
as the preliminary data set for interpretation. This information was gathered
from literature and PARSEP correlated well logs. The database was
continually updated reflecting changes and additions as the interpretation
progressed. The final ACCESS database is included as Appendix 5 in this
report and LAS files of the composite wells logs used for the interpretation as
Appendix 6. In the Maraon Basin study done by PARSEP (2002), numerous
geological maps were created from a similar type database and presented as
enclosures in the report. The tectonic style, significant pre-Cretaceous uplifts
and erosion, lack of significant well control and the biased sampling of what

26

was tested by those few wells, were not conducive to the creation of
meaningful geological maps from well data. As a result, only seismic was
utilized for generation of the maps in this project. The one exception was an
isopach of the Cretaceous, which was created simply to show the regional
thinning of the mapped interval from north to south in the Ucayali Basin.
This map is presented in Figure 19 within section 4.3.2.8
b) The stratigraphic cross-section grid project - The cross-section grid consists
of ten regional stratigraphic sections (Enclosure 1b), which was designed to
include almost all the wells in the Basin. The sections were created to
construct the regional stratigraphic framework of the Basin, particularly
within the pre-Cretaceous section and are referred to extensively in the
stratigraphy section 4.3.2, and presented as Appendices 2a to 2j in this report.
c) Collection of SEGY seismic data, navigational data corrections and tying the
various data sets This section is discussed in detail in the Geophysics
Section 5.0 of this report.
d) Geophysical interpretation The geophysical interpretation was done in two
parts, the northern Ucayali which extends from the southern Maraon Basin
to just north of the Oxapampa wells in the western part of the Basin and north
of the La Colpa well in the eastern part of the Basin. The division represents
a discontinuity in two largely continuous data sets of almost equal size.
Additionally, changes in geology between the northern and southern Basins
resulted in different reflectors and intervals in both areas to be mapped. In the
northern Basin, TWT maps were made on, Pozo, Base Cretaceous,
Copacabana, and Contaya and isochrons of the Pozo to Base Cretaceous, Base
Cretaceous and Top to Base of the Jurassic salt intervals, while in the south,
TWT maps were made on the Upper Cretaceous (near Chonta), Base
Cretaceous, Tarma, Devonian and Basement and isochrons Cretaceous,
Upper Cretaceous to Tarma and Top Devonian to Basement. These maps are
all discussed in detail with the Geophysical Section 5.0 of this report. Three
other geophysical maps are included in this report that were done
independently of the regional geophysical mapping project. They were a
TWT map on the top of the Ene (Figure 12) created largely to show the
distribution of the Formation throughout the Basin, an isochron of the Ambo
section in the southern Ucayali (Figure 9) to emphasis the probable Ambo
source kitchen area for the Camisea area and a lower Cretaceous channel map
(Figure 45) in the area of the Mashansha well in the southern Ucayali Basin
e) Structural profile project The structural profile study for the Ucayali/Ene
Area was completed through the compilation of the available seismic data,
exploratory wells, geological field data and maps, and the PARSEP seismic
mapping. Generally speaking, the six dip sections through the Basin were
constructed by tying the geological field data from the Ingemmet quadrangle
maps in the Andean fold and thrust belt to the west, with the seismic and well
data in the sub-surface of the Ucayali Basin to the East. Additionally, both
geological and geophysical interpretations available through various reports
within the Perupetro archives were also utilized in areas of minimal PARSEP
data coverage. The geological profiles are presented in Enclosures 3a to 3f

27

and discussed in detail in section 4.3.3 . One additional section, (Figure 22) is
also presented in this report as a representative structure profile through the
Ene Basin, 1f, that has been taken from Elfs Final report on Block 66 (Elf,
1996).
4.3.2 Stratigraphy of the Ucayali/Ene Area
One of the intentions of this study was to standardize the stratigraphy of the Ucayali
Basin as presented in Figure 4. The most critical and difficult aspect of this exercise
was the tying of correlations between the northern Ucayali Basin and the Mainique
Gorge/Camisea area of the southern Ucayali Basin. In the later, important
modifications were introduced by Shell (1997) within the Permian and Cretaceous
stratigraphic sections after the Camisea gas discoveries. The modifications made by
PARSEP are in line with our intent to present a consistent digital database to facilitate
mapping and interpretation. Discussions are presented where previous assumptions
and conclusions were found to be contradictory (or in question) through our
evaluation of the data. The intention is to keep the stratigraphy as simple as possible
without introducing unknown or contradictory names. Unfortunately, at the
termination of this project there are still a number of unanswered questions relevant to
stratigraphy that may form the basis for future studies.
The composite stratigraphic column present in the Ucayali Basin includes a thick
sedimentary succession of early and late Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic age
(Figure 4) and the stratigraphic cross-sections presented in the report show the
widespread distribution of all these units throughout most of the Basin. It is
interesting to note, however, that the sections show no single area drilled to date, with
a complete stratigraphic section preserved. Where this may be found is in the
foredeep area just east of the Fold Thrust Belt west of the Pisqui - Rashaya Sur
Aguaytia structural trend, and in the deep basinal area of the northern Ucayali Basin
south and west respectively of the Cushabatay and Contaya highs.
The Camisea discoveries of the southern Ucayali Basin in the 80s, allowed for
detailed stratigraphic studies to be completed that defined the extension and
termination of the early Cretaceous units and the stratigraphy in the Cretaceous/preCretaceous section overlying the Copacabana Group. These discoveries introduced a
controversy that we do not intend to solve with the present means allocated to the
project. In this report, PARSEP uses Shell (1997) Cretaceous age units with name
modifications below the Vivian and its late Permian age units and names overlying
the Copacabana Group. The major characteristics of these stratigraphic intervals that
are presented in this report for investigators not familiar with the data, are from the
knowledge gained after the Camisea discoveries and updated through the additional
work done by Shell in the late 90`s. Additionally, the lesser-known deeper Paleozoic
stratigraphy is reviewed and condensed, since it also constitutes a potential play type
throughout much of the Basin.
The following section discusses the Ucayali Basin mega-sequences Paleozoic, Late
Permian to Jurassic (Rift/Sag Phase), Cretaceous and Tertiary beginning first with a
brief section on Basement.

28

4.3.2.1 Basement
Few descriptions on Basement rocks have been presented in the greater Ucayali Basin
area. One reference, however describes the Basement east of the Contaya Arch across
the border in Brazil (Ingemmet 1997, Bull 101,) at Xingu Complex which is
composed of granitic and dioritic gneisses and metamorphics with a K/Ar age of 911
13 and 877 42 my. Several wells in the Basin penetrated Basement such as in the
Agua Caliente 1X well north of the Shira Mountains and the Platanal 1X, La Colpa
1X, Shahuinto 1X, Runuya 1X, Sepa 1X and Mashansha 1X wells east of the Shira
Mountains in the south Ucayali (stratigraphic cross-sections 2, 4, 7, 8 and 10).
In the Ene Basin area, Basement has been described from outcrops to its west as being
Precambrian crystalline and possible sedimentary to metasedimentary rocks.
4.3.2.2 Ordovician
The pre-Andean System begins with the Ordovician cycle and is represented by the
Contaya Formation, a unit of gray and black laminated hard slates, which overlies
Basement. A maximum thickness of 4500m has been reported for the cycle in the
Eastern Range of southern Peru. The Contaya Formation outcrops in the Contaya
Arch (150m thick) and 35km south of the Oxapampa wells in the northern and
southern Ucayali Basin, respectively. It has been drilled in the Agua Caliente 1X well
and possibly in the Cashiboya South well (stratigraphic cross-sections 2, 3, and 4) and
its presence is interpreted by seismic across the northern Ucayali Basin.
Other than the occurrence south of the Oxapampa wells referred to above, no Contaya
aged rocks have been recognized in the Ene Basin area.
4.3.2.3 Silurian
Next in the succession is the Silurian cycle which is represented by argillites, flysch
and tillites, and can reach thicknesses up to 1000m in southern Peru (Laubacher,
1978). A portion of the monotonous clastic sequences drilled by Panguana 1X and
Sepa 1X wells in the southern Ucayali may represent this cycle (stratigraphic crosssections 2 and 4) although the actual date of these sediments is unknown. The Silurian
depositional cycle ends with an erosional episode that is the result of tectonic
movement during the Caledonian/Taconian Orogeny in the Peruvian Oriente. The
Silurian cycle merges with that of the Devonian Cabanillas Group that has been
deposited in the Madre de Dios, Ucayali and Maraon Basins.
4.3.2.4 Devonian - Cabanillas Group
Sediments of Devonian age have a widespread distribution reaching a thickness of up
to 2000m in the south of Peru, while in northern Peru the maximum thickness seen is
1000m. Rocks of the Cabanillas Group of Devonian age constitute a well defined unit
in the study area, and are found in outcrops in the Mainique Gorge and in the Sepa 1X
and Panguana 1X wells in the south, and the Rashaya Sur 1X and Cashiboya 1A wells
in the north (stratigraphic cross-sections 2, 4, 9 and 10). The presence of this unit is
interpreted by seismic throughout much of the subsurface in both the southern and

29

northern Ucayali Basin. The presence of Cabanillas aged rocks in the Ene Basin area
is likely although this has never been conclusively confirmed (Elf, 1996).
The Cabanillas Group is comprised of dark gray mudstones, shales, siltstones and
sandstones. The mudstones are dark gray, micaceous, and iron-rich, weathering to red
with a sulfurous stain. Generally, the unit is considered to have been deposited in
moderately deep water as turbidite and hemi-pelagic deposits, which change upwards
into sediments representative of shallow water deposition. In outcrops to the west of
the Camisea fields, the upper section is represented by coarsening upward sequences
recording episodes of progradation from shelf to deltaic sedimentation and eventually
into sediments representative of a shallow basin environment. Each period of
progradation ends in a flooding event that deposits a potentially organic-rich source
rock facies that characterizes the Cabanillas sediments. The Cabanillas is absent in
the northern Shira Mountains-Agua Caliente and to the east of this area in the
Platanal-Shahuinto-Mashansha area (stratigraphic cross-sections 7, 8 and 10).
4.3.2.5 Early Carboniferous - Ambo Group

Possible Ambo Basin

Hingeline

Figure 9: Isochron map of the Ambo Group in the southern Ucayali Basin

30

In the Peruvian basins, the earliest Carboniferous sedimentation began with the Ambo
Group. The Ambo Group is well known in the southern portion of the Basin where it
is generally found overlying the Devonian Cabanillas Group and/or Basement. A
gross thickness of 813m in the south diminishes to less than 300m in the La Colpa
well area (stratigraphic cross-sections 7, 9 and 10). Its distribution in the northern
portion of the Basin is not well known. From the seismic mapping completed by
PARSEP, the Ambo Group is seen to thicken dramatically from north to south in the
southern Ucayali Basin (Figure 9) with the Ambo sediments onlapping the underlying
unconformity surface on Devonian and/or older horizons. In the area of the
Mashansha well and to its north, the Ambo is very thin and in some areas, completely
absent where basement paleo-highs exist. Moving from this area to south in the
Camisea area, the Ambo section thickens dramatically to where over 600msec of
Ambo section can be mapped overlying the Devonian. It is currently interpreted that
the Camisea fold and thrust belt may be controlled by a major hingeline that was
active during Ambo deposition as the Ambo section is seen to increase dramatically in
thickness in close proximity to the termination of the Camisea fold and thrust belt.
Additionally, it is believed that in the area of thick Ambo deposition, the Ambo was
also one of the principal detachment surfaces for the decollement structures in the
Camisea area.
The Ambo consists predominantly of coarse and fine-grained terrigeneous sandstones
with interbedded siltstones, gray shales, and with coal or organic rich interbeds
deposited as continental to shallow marine and fluvial deposits. The coal and organic
rich beds represent the initial transgression of the early Carboniferous Ambo Group.
The unit includes a tidal/estuarine inter-deltaic lower section, a deltaic middle section
and an inter-deltaic upper section. The middle deltaic portion has commonly TOCs
of 1.0 and locally over 8.0, and 18.0 wt% mainly humid organic matter with potential
gas and oil generation capabilities. The Ambo Group is identified as the main source
rock of the Camisea gas/condensate fields. These sediments are overlain by the thin
transgressive, clastic-rich Tarma Formation (with its widely distributed basal Green
Sandstone unit).
The Ambo identified in the Ene Basin corresponds to a shallow siliciclastic platform
from upper offshore facies to dominant delta front deposits (Elf, 1996). In its more
distal facies, the Ambo consists of amalgamated storm beds that contain greenish
sands containing coaly debris.
4.3.2.6 Late Carboniferous to Early Permian - Tarma/Copacabana Group
The Tarma/Copacabana Group is by far the most widely distributed pre-Cretaceous
unit in the sub-Andean basins, including the Ucayali and Ene Basins. Generally it is
difficult to place an exact upper contact for the Tarma Group and the two units
together are consequently often referred to together, as the Tarma/Copacabana Group.
A separation of the Tarma and Copacabana groups can be established locally where
the Tarma Group includes more clastic interbeds as in the Mainique Gorge area of the
southern Ucayali Basin. The lower unit of the Tarma Group is a clastic unit that
includes green sandstones, red siltstones, silty mudstones and anhydrite beds reaching
80 m. in thickness. The basal clastic unit of this interval is called the Green
Sandstone member, which typically has good porosity and good reservoir potential. It
is a green to brown, fine to very coarse cross-bedded, moderately sorted, glauconitic

and chloritic sandstone. There is a sharp contact between the Green Sandstone and
the underlying Ambo Group.
The green colored clastics diminish upwards and the upper part of the Tarma Group
comprises micritic wackestones and dark gray mudstones establishing a gradational
contact with the overlying carbonates of the Copacabana Group. The carbonates
become a sequence of thick units of dark gray micritic and sparite carbonates, white
to light brown crystalline dolomites, cross-bedded oolites, wackestones and cherts
with distinctive fusulinid rich horizons in the upper part (Mainique Gorge, Agua
Caliente and San Alejandro 1X wells). The group also include some clean 1 to 3
meter-thick anhydrite beds, occasionally 5 m thick, as in the upper Tarma Group in La
Colpa 1X well and in the bottom 2/3 in the San Martin 1X well. In the 1950-2050m
interval of the Huaya 3X well a 50-60m thick anhydrite unit was intersected within
the Copacabana section and is repeated between 2430-2500m by a thrust fault at
2200m (Figure 10).
Thickness varies from 640 - 960m in the northern portion of the Ucayali Basin (see
wells Huaya 3X, La Colpa 1X, Runuya 1X and Agua Caliente 1X in stratigraphic
cross-sections 2 and 4) to 860 - 940m in outcrop in the Mainique Gorge and Atalaya
areas (stratigraphic cross-section 9) and 990m in the Camisea San Martin 1X well
(stratigraphic cross-sections 4 and 9), in the southern Ucayali Basin. Locally, the unit
is partially reduced by erosion along the crests of Paleozoic aged structures such as in
the Coninca 2X well were the Tarma/Copacabana has a thickness of 333m
(stratigraphic cross-section 3) and in the Panguana 1X well where it has been reduced
to 166m as demonstrated in stratigraphic cross-section 9 and seismically in Figure 10,
or it has been completely stripped by erosion as in the Cashiboya area, (stratigraphic
cross-section 1).
In the area over the Contaya arch where there is no Copacabana, it is presently
unknown whether the Contaya Arch was a positive feature during Copacabana
deposition, (the result of an earlier tectonic uplift and the unit was not deposited as
suggested by Mathalone (1994)) or whether it is simple a result of uplift and complete
erosion as referred to in the examples above. If the latter is true, the Contaya Arch
became a positive feature in Late Permian time.
The Copacabana contains organic-rich dark gray to black mudstones deposited under
flooding or anoxic conditions with source rock characteristics.
Dolomitic
wackestones interbedded with brown sandstones at various levels in the whole unit
produce strong to faint oil smell in fresh broken surfaces. These intervals have TOC
of 2.0 wt% and are mature for oil and gas generation in the Mainique Gorge, Shell
(1997). Near the top, the carbonates are bioturbated and burrowed and are found
underlying the basal Ene Formation mudstone, with no evidence of karsts or breccias.
In the Huaya 3X well there is a common presence of dolomites observed near the
anhydrite beds. These dolomites are brown gray and dark gray, locally vugular,
micritic, oolitic and pelletoidal, which are remnants of the original limestones prior to
dolomitization. The anhydrite/porous dolomite/organic rich carbonate association
may constitute a potential petroleum system in this part of the Basin.

4.3.2.7 Late Permian Ene Red Bed Group

The late Permian Ene Formation and the Red Bed Group conformable overly the
Tarma/Copacabana Group and unconformably underlie the Cretaceous in the Camisea
area, the area around the Tamaya well, and in a deep trough south of the Cushabatay
Mountains and west of the Contaya Arch where seismic data reveal the presence of a
thick Permian section of probable Ene age that extents into the areas drilled by the
Orellana and Huaya wells. A map showing the seismically mapped distribution of
Ene sediments is shown in Figure 12 and in its stratigraphic occurrence is shown in
Figure 13. A seismic line through the northern Ene thick is shown in Figure 14.

section in the Northern Ucayali Basin. In an alternative interpretation, the Top Copacabana was
picked at an alternative reflector, the pink mk below the Grn Sdst. If this surface were a significant
unconformity, as it would appear from this seismic interpretation, this horizon would most likely
represent the Devonian unconformity so readily visible in the southern Ucayali Basin, thereby
supporting the interpretation presented above.

These units will be covered with more detail later in this report since their age, has
been redefined after the Camisea gas/condensate discoveries in the late 80`s and
updated in the late 90s and it is not available in published literature. Previously
much of this section was described as belonging to the Cretaceous Oriente Group.The
extension of the late Permian age Formations to the west and SW of the Shira
Mountains and adjacent and north of the Ene Basin is largely unknown and will
require detailed field work. This is particularly true in the western Shira Mountains
area where an abnormally thick Cretaceous Oriente Group (with individual
Cushabatay, Raya and Agua Caliente Formations) and Chonta Formation are
reportedly found, overlying the Copacabana Group (INGEMMET, 1997). The lower
part of this section may have been a misinterpreted Permian section as originally was
the case in the Camisea area.

Figure 15: Stratigraphic cross-section flattened on Base Cretaceous shows detailed late Permian
stratigraphy. Note excellent log correlation in Shinai, and two 10 m. thick anhydrite beds in the
Middle Mudstone Formation and anhydrite beds in the Noi Sandstone Patsite Member.

37

Ene Formation
Presence of the Ene Formation is confirmed in outcrops in the eastern Shira
Mountains from south of the Runuya 1X well down to the Mainique Gorge and in
subsurface in the Camisea wells and in many wells in the eastern Ucayali Basin. Its
presence is well known in the outcrops of the Ene Basin where is has been recognized
as a potentially prolific source rock.
Thickness of this formation varies substantially, being controlled by depth of erosion
of the late Permian and Base Cretaceous unconformities. It is best preserved in the
south Ucayali in the Sepa/Camisea/Mainique Gorge area where the unit is divided in
three members (Shell, 1997), the Ene Sandstone, Noipatsite and Shinai Members with
a thickness between 150 to 220 m, as shown in Figure 15 and stratigraphic crosssections 4, 9 and 10.
The Ene Sandstone and Noipatsite Members are two 70-150 meter-thick sandstone
bodies similar in rock character, and resting on a basal dark gray 6 meter-thick
organic rich source rock mudstone with strong petroleum odor in fresh fractures. The
mudstone overlies the Copacabana Group limestones with no signs of karstification or
brecciation. This mudstone changes to black and dark gray siltstone in the area east
of the north Shira Mountains and it disappears in the north Ucayali. West and to the
NW of the Contaya Arch, a uniform 160-200m thick sandstone member possibly
equivalent to Ene Sandstone/Noi Sandstone is preserved overlying the Copacabana
Group in the Huaya 3X (identified by PARSEP based on lithostratigraphic regional
correlation) and by Coastal in the SE Maraon Orellana 1X wells (stratigraphic crosssections 1 and 2 and Figure 13).
The Ene sandstones in the Huaya 3X well are white, cream to light gray, very fine to
medium-grained, sub-angular to rounded, with siliceous cement and non-calcareous.
The Ene Formation (1690-1850m) overlies the Copacabana Group and it is capped by
a conglomerate/sandstone unit (1620-1690m), which is overlain by a finer clastic red
bed section (1620-1400m) tentatively assigned by PARSEP to the Mitu Group and
Pucar, respectively. The conglomerate has clasts of granitic gneiss with quartz and
feldspar phenocrysts and a medium to coarse quartz-feldspar and lithic fragments
matrix. The Ene-Mitu-Pucar clastic sequence (1400-1850m), thus defined, was
originally named Sarayaquillo Formation underlying the Cushabatay Formation and
overlying the Copacabana Group in previous reports in the Huaya 3X. Additionally,
PARSEP structural/stratigraphic interpretation in this well defines a repeated section
of the Ene Formation and the upper limestones and anhydrites of the Copacabana
Group as shown in Figure 10.
In the Ene Basin, the Ene Formation consists of four units, a basal black shale
overlain by a sandstone, then an upper black shale, overlaid by a dolomitic interval.
As such it is more or less identical to the Ene identified in the southern Ucayali Basin
(Camisea area). In the Ene Basin region the depositional setting for the Ene
corresponds to a marginal marine (lagoonal) to coastal plain setting, with lagoonal
black shales, fluvial to estuarine sandstones, and peritidal, possibly evaporitic
dolomite.

38

Shinai Member
The Shinai Member is a 70-100 meter-thick organic-rich carbonate mudstone with
algal laminates, oolites and wackstone carbonates preserved south of the Runuya 1X
well (stratigraphic cross-section 4). Stable basin conditions allowed the unit to extend
laterally with minor lithological changes, providing a distinctively characteristic
horizon for log correlation in the Sepa/Camisea area (Figure 15).
Red Bed Group/Mainique
Biostratigraphic analyses in the Mainique Gorge/Camisea area reveal the presence of
an uppermost sequence of late Permian age in the southern Ucayali Basin. This is the
Red Bed Group, which is equivalent to the Mainique Group, and found overlying the
Ene Formation (Shell, 1997). From bottom to top, this sequence is made up of the
Lower Sandstone, the Middle Mudstone and the Upper Sandstone Units, as shown in
the stratigraphic cross-sections 4, 9 and 10 and in Figure 15. This sequence was
recognized in older literature as the Oriente Group, where each of the units
represented the Cushabatay, Raya and Agua Caliente Formations, respectively. Its
presence is restricted to the SW of the Runuya-Mashansha-Panguana structural trend.
The unconformity at the base of Cretaceous has stripped off much of this section in
the San Martin, Cashiriari and Pagoreni fields, leaving only the Lower Sandstone
Formation or Lower Niakaatsirinkari Formation, in contact with the Agua Caliente
Formation of Cretaceous age.
Lower Sandstone The Lower Sandstone Formation (Lower Niakaatsirinkari
Formation) consists of massive arkosic to sub-arkosic, medium to coarse-grained
arenites, with meter-scale cross-bedding suggesting an eolian origin although no
frosted quartz grains were detected in outcrops. The dune complex is truncated from
W to E (stratigraphic cross-sections 4 and 10) beneath the Cretaceous unconformity
and based on paleo-current data, migrates westwards into a sabkha environment
(Shell, 1998). The lower and upper contacts with the Shinai Member and with the
Middle Mudstone Formation are sharp planar surfaces, as seen in outcrops and in
wells Sepa 1X, Mipaya 1X, Pagoreni 1X and Armihuary 1X wells (stratigraphic
cross-sections 4 and 10 and Figure 15). These wells have a maximum thickness of 90
to 130m, which contrast with the approximately 40m of the lowermost section
preserved below the Cretaceous unconformity in the remaining wells in the San
Martin and Cashiriari fields (Figure 15). Petrographic examination in selected
intervals reveal its thinly laminated nature, and the alternation of well-sorted laminae
with bimodally sorted laminae and the absence of detrital clays. This is also
suggestive of an eolian origin.
Middle Mudstone The Middle Mudstone Formation is well developed in the
Mainique Gorge and in the Mipaya 1X well, as shown in the stratigraphic crosssection 9 and Figure 15 where it is found to be 175 and 90m, respectively. The unit
consists of a predominantly red mudstone, with a middle unit of red calcareous and
dolomitic mudstones, thin micritic carbonates with rare anhydrite pseudomorphs in
outcrops and with two very distinctive 10m thick massive anhydrite beds as seen in
the Mipaya 1X well.

and Vivian Formations

40

Upper Sandstone The Upper Sandstone Formation is only present in outcrops in

the Mainique Gorge area, overlying in sharp planar contact the Middle Mudstone
Formation, and underlying the Pucar Group (stratigraphic cross-section 9). It is a
massive, medium to fine-grained unit with some coarse granular to pebbly layers and
feldspathic sandstones moderately to well sorted. Trough and tabular cross-bedding
up to several meters in thickness and petrographic examination suggests an eolian
origin for several intervals.
Permian/Cretaceous Basin Evolution Camisea Area
Figure 16 is a representation of the evolution of the late Permian and Cretaceous basin
in the Camisea area through a series of flattening at various levels. Refer to Figure 15
for location of the Figure. The bottom section flattened on the Noipatsite Member,
shows a thickening of this reservoir in the San Martin and Cashiriari fields. These
units were not drilled in Pagoreni. The following section flattened on the Shinai
Member, demonstrates the uniform nature of this unit, which makes it an excellent
correlation surface in the area. In the following section a thin Lower Niakaatsirinkari
or Lower Sandstone Formation is preserved below the Cretaceous, except in the
Armihuary 1X and Pagoreni 1X wells to the NW, where quite a thick section remains.
The flattening on the Base Cretaceous shows both the removal of most of the Middle
Mudstone Formation and an important portion of the Lower Niakaatsirinkari
Formation. The Agua Caliente flattening shows the sand-to-sand relationship with
underlying Lower Sandstone Formation, which together form a single reservoir in
Camisea. Generally there is a consistent thickness of Agua Caliente Formation
throughout the area although there is some minor thinning seen over the Cashiriari
field to the east. The final flattening, on the Chonta Formation, demonstrates the
presence of an excellent regional seal for the Cretaceous and Permian reservoirs. A
flattening on the Vivian (not shown) does not change appreciably from the one at
Chonta time. In general, the Cretaceous and Permian formations have an excellent
correlation over a distance in excess of 150km.
4.3.2.8 Triassic to Jurassic
The early episodes of the Andean tectonic system are preserved in the western and
NW extremes of the Ucayali Basin, where deep latest Permian/Jurassic basins were
formed. These basins contain sequences of syn rift continentally derived sediments of
the Mitu Group, overlain by a Triassic to Jurassic-aged marine to transitional unit
dominated by carbonate deposition and evaporites, the Pucar Group. The Pucar is
overlain by regressive continental redbeds of the Jurassic aged, Sarayaquillo
Formation, which was deposited prior to the early Cretaceous regional episode of
erosion and peneplanation, as shown in the stratigraphic cross-sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7
and 8. The Permo/Jurassic mega-stratigraphic sequence is covered by a Cretaceous
foreland and Tertiary foredeep sedimentary cover.
Mitu
The Mitu Formation is considered to be the syn-rift sequence associated with the
initial opening of the combined proto-Maraon/Ucayali Basin. Within the Maraon
Basin and surrounding areas it is deposited in a series of grabens (Figures 7) formed
within a rifted Paleozoic section.
From observations made during PARSEP

41

sponsored field trips (PARSEP 2002), the contact between it and the overlying Pucar
was observed to be conformable in several locations implying the two are part of the
same mega-sequence. However, in most literature and published stratigraphic
columns, the Mitu is often described as an unconformity bound unit and
depositionally, separate from the Pucar Group.
A thick Mitu Group was drilled by the Orellana 1X well in the SE Maraon Basin just
to the north of the Ucayali Basin. In the northern Ucayali Basin itself a thin
conglomerate with gneiss and granite pebbles, intersected by the Huaya 3X well is
tentatively assigned to this group. With this exception, the Mitu Group has not been
drilled in the Ucayali Basin and its occurrence is restricted to the Fold Thrust Belt
where common outcrops are reported.
The identification of the Mitu in the Ene Basin is considered ambiguous, as is the
identification of most redbed sequences in this complex structural area. Typically the
Mitu represents redbed deposition within a complex horst and graben to pull apart
setting close to fault scarps. Very coarse-grained and immature breccias have
generally been attributed to the Mitu in this region although they might very well
represent a local subfacies of the Sarayaquillo when close to Jurassic basin boundary
faults.
Pucar Group
The Pucar overall, represents the maximum flooding event of a major megasequence with the Chambara and lower Aramachay Formations forming the lower
transgressive cycle and the upper Aramachay and Condorsinga/Sarayaquillo
Formations forming the upper regressive cycle. The Condorsinga Formation is
overlain conformably by the newly defined (Advantage, 2001), predominantly
evaporitic, Callanayacu Formation or by red beds of the Sarayaquillo Formation.
In the Ucayali Basin the eastern Pucar shoreline has a NS trend from approximately
just west of the Contaya Arch to the Agua Caliente field north of the Shira Mountains,
with the hinterland being located to the east. As interpreted by some, the Pucar
depression was a restricted basin partially isolated from the open sea by early positive
movement on the NWSE trending proto-Maraon high that acted as a subtle barrier
during basin development. An alternative explanation and the one supported by the
various PARSEP studies, is that the basin was segmented into a series of smaller
wrench related restrictive depocenters and that a good percentage of the deposited
evaporites were the result of sabkha deposition. Excellent examples of pre-existing
structural features controlling depositional patterns and facies distributions of Pucar
were presented by PARSEP (2002) in the Shanusi 1X well.
The distribution of the Pucar Group is restricted to subsurface occurrences in the
northwest and western portions of the Ucayali Basin, and in outcrops in the Fold
Thrust Belt. The Pucar as seen in outcrop, is a marine sequence that changes to a
continental facies and pinches out in its eastern occurrences. The exception to this is
the Aramachay Formation of the Pucar Group which maintains its marine organicrich character in the San Alejandro 1X and Agua Caliente 31D-1X wells as shown in
stratigraphic cross-Sections 3 and 7 (Appendix 2c and 2g). The Condorsinga
Formation of the upper Pucar Group was penetrated by the San Alejandro 1X and

42

was found to be a siliciclastic rich unit resting on the Aramachay Formation, which in
turn unconformably overlies the Copacabana Group. The Chambara Formation, of
the lower Pucar Group, pinches out to the west of the San Alejandro 1X well. In the
northeastern Ucayali Basin, the Pucar Group is recognized in the subsurface as in the
Huaya 3X well, as mainly a siliciclastic unit. The Pucar section intersected in the
Huaya 3X well is a red and brown red sequence of interbedded mudstone, siltstone
and sandstones. The mudstones are found in laminated beds, and the sandstones as
fine to very fine, occasionally medium-grained, and subangular with argillaceous
matrix and locally calcareous. The siltstone is sandy, micaceous, and locally
calcareous.
A less known carbonate/evaporitic sequence is recognized in the southern Ucayali
Basin in the southernmost Oxapampa wells, as shown in the stratigraphic crosssections 1, 2, 5-8 (Appendices 2a, b, e, f, g, and h). A 25m thick sandstone remnant
of Rhaetian-Hetangian age was found by Shell (1997) in the Mainique Gorge and
represents a unique occurrence of the Pucar Group east of the Shira Mountains. This
sequence is shown on stratigraphic cross-section 9 (Appendix 2i).
The Pucar has only been observed within the carbonate facies in the NW part of the
Ene Basin area. The possible presence of an uppermost Pucar is also anticipated
between the San Matias uplift and the Pachitea Basin, where black shales with sandy
levels containing evaporitic molds (Elf, 1996), have been identified. These could
represent the upper transitional facies from marine (Pucar) to continental
(Sarayaquillo) deposition. How this interval correlates to the Aramachay identified in
the San Alejandro well as both are described with very similar lithologies, will require
further investigation. The black shales of this latter interval in the Ene Basin are
barren due to overheating. These shales do, however, constitute the principal
decollement level at the base of the allochtonous unit of the San Matias thrust. Elf
concluded the Pucar Formation in this area records an intertonguing between internal
platform carbonates and related coast sabkha facies in which an influence of siliclastic
input is recorded. These observations support well, the regional analysis on the
Pucar as presented in this and previous PARSEP reports.
Evaporites (Salt)
In the northern and central Ucayali Basin, the evaporite section is generally present
only within the western areas of the Basin boundaries and can be readily identified
seismically (Appendix 3c, Figure 4) and mapped (Figure 17). The greatest
thicknesses are seen west of the Pisqui Rashaya structural trend in the northern
Ucayali Basin and within the disturbed belt west of the San Matias thrust where a salt
section has been penetrated by the Oxapampa 7-1 well. The salt occurrences appear
to be confined by a major Paleozoic northeast trending fault system with normal
displacement that was associated with the breakup of the stable platform, during Mitu
time. West of Rashaya Sur (Appendix 3g Figure 3) on the seismic line shown in
Appendix 3g Figure 5, such a fault with normal displacement of approximately 1
second of throw can be identified with the lower Mesozoic evaporitic section being
limited to the hanging wall block. It is believed that a series of isolated deep grabens
were formed during Mitu time and because of their restricted nature, were conducive
to the development of significant evaporite deposits. In other words, the evaporites
identified in the Ucayali Basin may largely be restricted to these depocenters and

43

consequently not more blanket-like in occurrence as they have been described in the
previous PARSEP works (PARSEP, 2002 a, b). A further example supporting this
can be documented East of the Pisqui Rashaya structural trend, where areally small
pods of evaporites can be found in isolated inverted half grabens as in the productive
Aguaytia structure as shown in Figure 18.

represent thins and hot colors represent thicks.

Sarayaquillo
With further regression of the Jurassic sea the Pucar Formation and evaporitic unit
were overlain by Middle to Late Jurassic continental red beds of the Sarayaquillo
Formation. Termination of the Sarayaquillo deposition coincides with the end of the
Jurassic, which is represented by the regional Nevadan unconformity over which lies
sediments of Cretaceous age.

Figure 18: Seismic line across the Aguaytia structure showing the presence of salt (?) within an

The Sarayaquillo Formation in the Ucayali Basin is largely restricted to northern

Ucayali, centered around the Contaya Arch, and in the north to central western
Ucayali Basin where thick sections of the sequence can be found overlying the salt on
the hanging walls of the large displacement pre-Mesozoic normal faults such as the
ones described in the previous section west of Rashaya Sur (Appendix 3g Figure 3).
The Sarayaquillo is virtually absent from the southern Ucayali Basin.
In the Ene Basin a considerable thickness of Sarayaquillo has been identified.
Although the basal contact of the Sarayaquillo with the Pucar is difficult to define in
this area, the lower Sarayaquillo was described by Elf (1996) as corresponding to a
lower coastal plain or lagoonal setting. The middle sequences were extremely
characteristic of the unit containing 100s of meters of conglomerate characteristic of
a distal alluvial fan or braidplain progradation, while the upper, was sandier and
representative of meandering channel and crevasse splay deposits corresponding to a
low gradient flood plain setting. Elf also suggested that even though all conglomeritic
series with oriented pebble structures were assigned to the Middle Sarayaquillo this
may also be representative of a more distal facies of a Mitu Breccia facies.
4.3.2.9 Cretaceous
The reader is referred to extensive and excellent studies done to date on the
Cretaceous stratigraphy in the Ucayali Basin in such works as Robertson Research
(RRI)s Petroleos del Per (1990) and Shell (1997) and in the Ene Basin, in Elf
(1996b). The objective of this PARSEP study was to correlate time units across the
Basin that could be tied back to seismic. The methodology to do so and the results are
described in detail in the preceding section. Within the context of the regional

45

stratigraphic cross-section grid and geological mapping that was done for this project,
the subtle details of the Cretaceous stratigraphy that are needed to further understand
its importance in defining hydrocarbon trapping geometries, were not examined.
Through the length of this study, digital well data was collected to further supplement
the Ucayali Basin database in preparation for such future studies.
An important observation emphasized in this study is the change between the
Mesozoic and late Paleozoic stratigraphy in the northern and southern Ucayali Basins
and across major structural features (hingelines) that show evidence of syndepositional influences. On this later point, several notable examples of structures
contemporaneous with Cretaceous sedimentation were described in both the Santiago
and Maraon Basins (PARSEP, 2002). Similar observations were also made by Elf in
the Ene Basin (Elf, 1996), who stated that synsedimentary block faulting is inferred in
the Basin in order to explain the rapid and important thickness variations from west to
east during Cretaceous time. Elf also noted (1996a) that the present day western
border of the Ene Basin does not correspond to the deepest part of the Cretaceous
Basin as was once thought. Rather, the basin probably thickened toward the west and
may have even been even thicker yet westward of the present-day Ene Basin where it
is now eroded.
The Cretaceous mega-sequence covers the entire Ucayali Basin with regional thinning
to the south as demonstrated in Cretaceous isopach map shown in Figure 19 and
stratigraphic cross-sections 2, 4, 6 and 8. The lower Cretaceous Cushabatay and Raya
Formations are seen to onlap the Cretaceous unconformity between Platanal and La
Colpa wells (stratigraphic cross-section 2) and between the Runuya and Sepa wells
(stratigraphic cross-section 4). The Cushabatay and Raya wedges align in a NE/SW
trend as shown in the subcrop lines drawn on Figure 19. In any case, the Cushabatay
and Raya Formations are present west of the N/S alignment formed by wells La Colpa
1X, Shahuinto 1X, Mashansha 1X and Sepa 1X (stratigraphic cross-section 10). The
regional lithostratigraphic and biostratigraphic correlation and interpretation in these
stratigraphic cross-sections extend the uppermost section of the Agua Caliente
Formation to the southernmost Ucayali Basin including the Camisea area. PARSEP
places the top of this formation at the top of Shells Basal Chonta Sandstone and,
therefore, it also includes the sandstone unit of Cretaceous age designed as Upper Nia
as defined by Shell (1997). Stratigraphic cross-section 10 includes twelve wells east
of the Cushabatay and Raya wedges, which very clearly demonstrates the relationship
between the Agua Caliente Formation in the wells and the pre-Cretaceous sequence.
PARSEPs preliminary interpretation shows the Mashansha 1X well with a very thin
Agua Caliente Formation overlying the Copacabana Group.
Cushabatay
The Cushabatay is limited to the northern and western Ucayali Basin as noted above,
and the Ene Basin. Thickness variations of the Formation range from a maximum of
just over 400m in the Santa Clara 1X well of the Contaya Arch area (stratigraphic
cross-section 1) to over 200m in the Ene Basin and to 0m as the formation pinches out
to the south and east in the Ucayali and possibly over the central and southern Shira

47

Mountains (Elf, 1996b). The Formation forms a sharp-based fining upwards unit of
sandstones unconformably overlying the Sarayaquillo Formation. It consists of a
thick amalgamation of braided to low sinuosity channel belt sandstones. This broad,
laterally continuous sand body is overlain by the marine to restricted marine shales of
the Raya Formation, which end the broad transgressive trend recorded by the
Cushabatay.
Agua Caliente
The Upper Agua Caliente is seen onlapping Paleozoic aged units in the southern
Ucayali Basin as the entire Cretaceous section thins from North to South (Figure 19).
In the Camisea fields, we interpret the top of this unit to be equivalent to the top of the
Chonta Basal Sand of Shell nomenclature. It is found beneath a continuous shale unit
that can be correlated throughout the area, although the lithostratigraphic top of this
interval may in fact extend upwards into what Shell has designated the Lower Chonta
interval. If so it would therefore represent the upward continuation of a predominant
transgressive sequence of sandstones channels and mudstones.
In the Ene Basin, Elf refers the Agua Caliente as the Iscozacin (Elf, 1996b). Here the
Formation shows a shallowing upward trend toward littoral sandstones. These
sandstones are interbedded within illite-dominated formations. This package is
overlain by a 300m thick sequence of extremely shaly lower coastal plain facies
containing minor channel and crevasse splay sands. Field observations (Elf 1996)
show that the Iscozacin (Agua Caliente) acted as a decollement level with internal
deformations and duplications.
Chonta
Overall the Chonta Formation represents the end of a regional transgression and the
beginning of a regressive episode. The maximum flooding surface that occurred
during Chonta deposition more or less represents the division between the Upper and
Lower Chonta intervals. During the period of maximum flooding, marine conditions
were prevalent throughout the entire Ucayali Basin and deposition during this time
was restricted primarily to marine shales and limestones. In the Camisea area this
interval has excellent seal characteristics, containing several anhydrites beds within its
upper section.
The Chonta thins to the east and SE towards the Basin borders (stratigraphic crosssections 4 and 8) and it reaches a minimum drilled thickness of 150m. In the
easternmost well in the Basin, Panguana 1X, the Chonta has still maintained a high
shale content which comprises approximately 50% the section (stratigraphic crosssections 2 and 9) which is probably sufficient for it to maintain reasonable sealing
characteristics.
The Chonta Formation in the Ene Basin is made up of a thick (500-700m) thinly
bedded carbonate mudstone accumulation. It is clearly transgressive on the top of the
Agua Caliente with a backstepping of a siliciclastic dominate shelf, followed by an
aggradation of marine carbonate platform interrupted by a regressive event and finally

48

a regressive siliciclastic dominated shelf, which is cut at its top by a major

unconformity.
Vivian Formation
The nearshore regionally extensive Vivian sandstone complex is subdivided into 3
units, with the two sand sequences, the Upper and Lower Vivian being separated by
the Cachiyacu interval. The sands are quartz arenites, white, very fine to very coarse
-grained, poorly cemented with quartz overgrowths, and moderate to good
intergranular porosity. The Upper Vivian typically has kaolinitic authigenic clays
while the Lower Vivian sandstone as noted primarily in the southern Ucayali Basin,
has a much cleaner sand character. Channel sandstones develop in the base of both
sandstone units and rest on erosive contacts over their respective lower mudstones
units. The Cachiyacu represents the end of a transgressional cycle (fining upward
sequence) that begins with deposition of the Lower Sand. The Cachiyacu cycle
represents a period of considerable stratigraphic variability as it contain numerous
shales and discontinuous sands that have remained protected from fresh water
flushing which is more common than not in the Vivian section throughout the Basin.
The Vivian in the Ene Basin is found overlying the Chonta, separated by a significant
erosional unconformity and consists of channel sands that grade upward into a lower
coastal plain facies. These lower sandstones have been designated as the Lower
Vivian sandstone. The coastal plain interval shows an overall increase in marine
influences and is eventually overlain by a shoreface sandstone termed the Upper
Vivian. After a brief period of emersion there is further marine influence with the
deposition of marls and carbonated sandstones to sandy limestones, which is what has
been designated as the Cachiyacu by Elf (1996b). This is different from the
interpretation of PARSEP who regionally have called the interbedded shale package
between the Upper and Lower Vivian the Cachiyacu.
4.3.2.10 Tertiary
The Tertiary section consists of a wedge shape foredeep deposit of red bed cycles,
with poor hydrocarbon potential that is widely distributed throughout the Basin
overlying sediments of Cretaceous age. Paleocene aged sediments are normally
described overlying the Vivian Formation. Elf (1996b) has the Cachiyacu in the
Ene Basin as being overlain conformably by a regressive succession of lagoonal to
continental shale facies. The transition from the Cachiyacu is gradual, through a
rapid increase in reddened intervals until a there is a total disappearance of any gray
facies. As a consequence the boundary between the Cachiyacu and the Tertiary
sediments cannot be defined precisely as this facies boundary is probably somewhat
diachronous (Elf 1996b).
The sediments of Tertiary age consist of Paleocene/Pliocene Upper and Lower Red
Bed sequences separated by the Pozo Shale and Pozo Sand. The Pozo shale/Pozo
Sandstone couplet form one the strongest seismic events in the Maraon Basin and
can be mapped into the northern Ucayali Basin. This event represents a regional
marine incursion in the northern Sub-Andean basins and is coincidental in time with
important events of hydrocarbon generation. The Upper Red Bed unit includes the
Ipururo and Chambira Formations. In the south Ucayali Basin the Tertiary sediments

49

consist of an Upper Red Bed Member of red and red brown sandy and silty clays
interbedded with pale gray clays with sandstone units up to 15m thick and
conglomerates, truncated at an angular unconformity by river deposits. This unit is
underlain by a Conglomerate Member of Miocene age consisting of a thick sequence
of numerous channel conglomerates with well rounded mainly Paleozoic clasts,
sandstones, clays and coaly and silicified tree fragments. An underlying Sandstone
Member forms a coarsening upward sequence of gray and yellow lithic channeled
sandstones interbedded with red and brown clays.
As mentioned previously, the Pozo Shale and Pozo Sand units are identifiable only in
the northern Ucayali Basin although time equivalent markers can be mapped further
south of this limit. The Pozo Shale consists of olive green claystone resting on the
Pozo Sandstone made up of greenish gray sandstones, fine grained, silty, friable,
tuffaceous, micaceous and carbonaceous.
The Yahuarango or Lower Red Bed Member of Paleocene age is made up of red and
purple clays with nodular carbonate rich layers and contains Paleocene charofites in
the Camisea area. Lithic sandstone beds become more common upwards and it
grades transitionally into the Sandstone Member. Red brown and green siltstone and
mudstone are common in the northern portion of the Basin.
4.3.3 Structural Analysis of the Ucayali/Ene Area
The tectonic history of the Ucayali Basin is complex with the most significant events
spanning a period ranging from the Devonian to late Tertiary. This was discussed in a
preceding section (4.2 Regional Geology). Through this complex evolution a
number of prominent tectonic features were developed that give the Basin its present
geometry as well as having influenced sedimentation at various stages of Basin
development. This section of the report will focus on those elements that could be
documented and studied with the data at hand, which are listed below.

In this analysis of the Ucayali Basin a series of six structural profiles across the Basin
were constructed and are presented as Enclosures 3a to 3f on which many of the
above features can be observed. A brief description on these profiles is presented in
the section following this one.

50

4.3.3.1 Devonian Faults

Within the Ucayali Basin, Devonian faulting was only really observed in the southern
sector of the Basin. Two ages of faulting can clearly be documented. The earliest
represents a series of extensional faults that created deep half grabens during the
Devonian (and possibly earlier) that contain significant thickness of preCarboniferous sediments. This is best seen on the seismic line displayed in Figure 5.
Additionally, the Devonian to Basement Isochron shown in Enclosure 5h, clearly
maps the areas of Devonian graben development within the southern Ucayali
foreland. Three very significant features, all with a north-south alignment can be seen
in the area between the Mashansha and Panguana wells. It is possible that these
depressions may be local source kitchens containing organically rich Cabanillas
Shales but further work will be required to confirm this as a possibility.
The second fault type (Figure 6) is in response to the Eo-Hercynean compression in
the Late Devonian, which resulted in a major unconformity separating sediments of
Devonian and Carboniferous age. This compressional event as supported by some,
produced a swarm of northsouth oriented faults that established the structural grain
of the weakness in the basement of the Ucayali Basin (Anadarko, 1999). In the
preceding paragraph, however evidence is stated that this north-south trend may have
been established well before the Eo-Hercynean compression and what has been
interpreted as a result of this later tectonism, is just a reactivation of an older fault set.
4.3.3.2 Late Paleozoic Faults/Structures
Almost the entire Ucayali Basin shows remnants of the late Permian extensional
event. Similar Paleozoic block faulting and preservation was observed to the north in
the SE Maraon Basin (PARSEP, 2002b). This tectonic event is one of the most
significant events that happened in the Ucayali Basin and is particularly important
when viewed from a hydrocarbon exploration perspective. The reasons for this are
the following:
1. Many of the major structural features in the Ucayali Basin such as the Contaya
Arch and Shira Mountains owe their ancestral history to the late Permian
extension as they were initiated as significant horst blocks during this time.
- Early structural growth allows for the capture and containment of earlier
migrating oil, as structures with just an Andean history, do not.
2. Within the graben areas, thick sequences of Carboniferous to late Permian
sediments containing source rock and reservoir sequences were protected from
later peneplation by early Cretaceous erosion.
3. Regionally low areas and isolated grabens that were areas of lower Mesozoic
sedimentation and preservation were created. Included in this would be thick
salt sequences within lower Mesozoic restricted basins, and the deposition of
the Pucar Group, which is considered to be the principal source rock in the
northern Ucayali.
4. Development of subtle highs and lows that have influenced deposition
environments and hence, reservoir development. The best example of this is
within the Pucar section as intersected by the Shanusi 1X well in the
Southern Maraon Basin (PARSEP, 2002a). An example similar to this is
presented in Section 7.3.2.1

51

Orientation of the late Permian faults generally appears to be in a northerly direction

with a tendency to favor a NNE orientation, i.e. Aguaytia. Features such as the
Contaya Arch and the Shira Mountains, which were supposedly to have been initiated
as horsts during this time, have a more of a NNW (Shira) and NW (Contaya)
orientation but this may be reflecting more of a later superimposed Andean imprint.
Very often these late Permian faults were reactived during the Andean Orogeny as
inversion features such as Aguaytia, or through a further accentuation of the older
high block. However, in many instances as seen in the figures shown within
Appendix 3h (Rashaya Sur), there is little to no reactivation. The Coninca-Pisqui
Anticlinal trend is a good example where the older NNW trending faults show little
reactivation and, where they do, it is only in a strike-slip manner, where they act as
relays between NW trending en echelon Andean faults (Appendix 3h).
4.3.3.3 Late Andean Foreland Faults/Structures
Generally speaking the late Andean aged faults of the Ucayali Basin and their
associated structures, are well documented. They often have a strong surface
expression, can be readily mapped seismically with most seismic programs having
been designed to better define these features, and finally, it is the Andean aged
structures on which almost all of the wells in the Basin have been drilled.
In the northern Ucayali Basin, several very prominent structural trends exist that are
generally just a result of Late Andean tectonics. The first is the Pisqui Coninca
Rashaya Sur trend near the eastern border of the Basin, and the second is the Maquia
Cashiboya trend near the eastern border. Both have the very distinctive NW
Andean orientation, and, as yet, production has been established only on the Maquia
Cashiboya trend.
In the southern Ucayli Basin the most significant pure Andean aged structure is Sepa,
which was drilled by Shell in the 1980s. The only other structure comparable in size
in the foreland Basins of Peru would be the Loreto Structure of the southern Maraon
Basin.
Many other Andean aged features such as Aguaytia, the Tamaya Rio Caco trend, in
the central Maraon, and the large mega-structures such as the Shira Mountains and
the Contaya arch are also present, but they are largely reactivations of older
structures.
4.3.3.4 Cushabatay High
The Cushabatay High is a very prominent structural feature with Jurassic Sarayaquillo
exposed on the surface, bordering the northern Ucayali Basin (Enclosure 2a). The
interpretation of PARSEP (2002a) has the Cushabatay High as very a significant half
graben filled with sediments of Pucar and Mitu age that developed concomitantly
with the NW SE trending horsts and grabens seen in the foreland of the Maraon
Basin in response to the Permo-Triassic extensional event. The Cushabatay graben
was filled with a very thick succession of Mitu overlain by Pucar, Sarayaquillo and
Cretaceous sediments that was later inverted some time between the latest-most
52

53

Cretaceous and pre-Chazuta/Shanusi thrusting in the late Tertiary of the southern

Maraon Basin (Figure 20). As this structure was in place prior to the forward-most
advancement of the fold and thrust belt, it acted as a buttress to any further eastward
advancement of the FTB into the Basin in much the same manner as the Tiraco Dome
to its north and Shira Mountains to its south.
4.3.3.5 Contaya Arch
The Contaya Arch is a roughly N-S trending structure that represents the northeastern
limit of the Ucayali Basin, separating it from the southern Maraon Basin (Enclosure
2a). The Contaya Arch has typically been called an ancestral horsted structure with
its origins beginning in the Permo-Triassic and Jurassic, then uplifted by compression
in the Neogene (SPT, 1993). Some have postulated that it may have even originated
as early as the Devonian (SPT, 1993). Whether this is the origin of the Contaya arch
or it is a product of a late Cretaceous-early Triassic inversion as interpreted for the
Cushabatay High, or a product of continued wrenching along the proposed NE
trending Contaya Shear zone, which separates the Maraon and Ucayali Basins as
proposed by Tankard (2001), is a subject for future debates.
4.3.3.6 Shira Mountains
The Shira Mountains and their subsurface extension to the north is perhaps the most
prominent tectonic element in the Ucayali.
On the surface, this feature trends
NNW/SSE from the central north Ucayali down south, to the west of the Camisea
area. Its subsurface extension to the north extends into the Cashiboya/Maquia and
Contaya Arch areas following the surface Ucayali River alignment. This regional
structural alignment coincides with the Sarayaquillo and Pucar eastern wedges that
divides the Ucayali Basin into a deep western basin with a thick sedimentary section
containing a thick early Mesozoic section, and a shallower eastern basin where the
Cretaceous is found directly overlying the Paleozoic.
On the surface, the Shira Mountains divide the southern basin into a larger eastern
portion, and a western portion that includes the Oxapampa/Ene fold and thrust belt
and the Pachitea sub-basin.
Some of the initial geological maps available prior to the 1996 field work done by Elf
along the west central Shira uplift, indicated that all the Mesozoic series was present
but reduced in thickness. Field data along seismic lines 96-ENE-03, 5, 7 and 9
(Enclosures 2c) indicate that only Upper Cretaceous (Cachiyacu, Vivian) is present,
which in turn is found resting unconformably on the Permo-Carboniferous series
(Ambo, Tarma, Copacabana). The Ene Formation was not identified.
These
observations were supported by gravity data, which suggests that the crystalline
basement is shallower in the Shira uplift and that the overlying sedimentary cover is
thinner than in the surrounding area (Elf, 1996)
In summary the Shira Mountains are interpreted to be an ancestral horst block formed
during late Permian time (Mitu rifting) and is found to have the latest Cretaceous
sediments overlying rocks of Paleozoic age. This would imply either:

54

1. A late onlap of the Cretaceous onto a Paleozoic high that had remained
emergent through most of the Mesozoic, or;
2. A major erosion of most of the Cretaceous during the Peruvian tectonic phase.
The final event affecting the Shira Mountains was the significant uplift that occurred
in later Neogene which elevated the mountains to a considerable height.
Of importance are the observations that the Shira Mountains are seen cutting the
western Ucayali FTB into two discontinuous segments, and is clearly seen to be
acting as a buttress to any further eastward advancement of the Oxapampa/Ene FTB.
It would therefore seems safe to conclude that there was significant uplift in the
Tertiary of Shira Mountains in an event or series of events that pre-date the latest
deformation seen in the Oxapampa/Ene and Camisea FTBs (Figure 22). This is
similar to what has been suggested for the Cushabatay High as well (PARSEP, 2002a)
4.3.3.7 Fold and thrust belt of the Ene and western Ucayali Basin
North and Central Areas
The fold and thrust belt of the northern Ucayali begins with the Chazuta thrust located
to the west of the Cushabatay High, which continues south and is found separating the
Huallaga Basin from the Ucayali Basin. From previous studies (PARSEP 2002), it
was determined that the movement on Chazuta Thrust represents approximately 45km
of horizontal shortening. The Chazuta thrust is controlled by seismic in the Huallaga
Basin (PARSEP 2002a) but there is little subsurface control south of this area and
published quadrangle maps of Ingemmet (Appendix 2a and 2b) were utilized for the
following interpretation.
At approximately the westernmost point of seismic line CP739802 (Appendix 2a) the
thrust belt is offset to the east by what is interpreted to be a northwest trending lateral
ramp after which the fold belt trends almost north to south to near the Oxapampa Area
(Appendix 2a and 2d). The interpretation of the thrust front from the Ingemmet data
in the northern Ucayali is shown on Enclosures 3a to 3d.
Structural Section A
(Enclosure 3a) shows a west verging fault detaching at depth into a east verging blind
thrust. Structural Sections B and C (Enclosures 3b and 3c) show an east verging
thrust front with overturned beds and the southernmost line Section D, is depicted
simply as an east verging thrust.
Oxapampa and Ene Basin Areas
The delineation of the Oxapampa/Ene fold and thrust segment is depicted in Figure 2.
The northern edge of this segment is also offset to the east by another interpreted
lateral ramp, which is similar to what was seen within the northern segment. The
eastward leading edge of the Oxapampa/Ene segment is defined by the San Matias
Fault, which trend roughly NNW, separating the fold and thrust belt from a sliver of
the west central Ucayali Basin, often referred to as the Pachitea Basin. This in turn
terminates into an older basement cored uplift trending North, the Shira Mountains,
where the thrust belt collides with the Shira Mountains, south of the Oxapampa wells.
The area South of this is what has been historically referred to as the Ene Basin.

55

Figure 21: Map of the Shira Mountains (Pajonal High), Pachitea Basin and the Oxapamapa and
Ene Basin Fold and thrust Belt showing the major tectonic features (after Elf, 1996a). Elf has
divided the Ene Basin into three regions, the northern, central and southern Ene Basins

The Ene Basin has been designated as a basin largely due the presence of Tertiary
aged sediments. These sediments, however, are nothing more than the preservation of
younger sediments within the intervening lows between thrust sheets south (Figure
22) as the older sediments are progressively found at increasing depths from north to
south.
Two structural profiles are shown through this thrust belt segment.. The first is
Section E (Enclosure 3e), which goes through the Oxapampa 7-1 well, the San Matias
Thrust, the Pachitea Basin and into the Shira Mountains.
The interpretation
presented here is different than the one made by Elf (1996c). PARSEP has
interpreted two major thrusts versus one by Elf, with a detachment surface somewhere
near the base of salt and Mitu levels. The reason for this was that two salt bodies at
different levels were interpreted in the seismic line Elf96-12, and as depicted in
Structural Section E, the only way to allow this was with the repeat of a
Mitu/Salt/Pucar succession.

56

Figure 22: Structural profile through the central Ene Basin modeled from the interpretation of
seismic line Elf96-09 (after Elf, 1996c). In this region, the principal detachment surface and zone of
multiple imbrications, is interpreted to be within the Cabanillas Formation. The Elf interpretation
has the western margin of the Shira Mountains as an old high controlled by a series of down to the
west normal faults of substantial displacement that acted as a buttress to eastern the advancing
thrust front.

57

The second profile, Structural Section G, (Figure 22) is taken from Elfs interpretation
of Elf96-09 in the central Ene Basin. At this point it should be noted that the SEGY
data set provided to PARSEP through the Ene Basin was an earlier processed version
with much poorer reflector continuity in the structurally complex areas than the one
used by Elf in their final interpretation. Consequently, this report relies heavily upon
Elfs interpretation within the Ene Basin Area. This profile shows the principal
detachment surface of the Ene thrusting to be within the Cabanillas Formation, which
is also depicted as a zone containing multiple imbrications.

magnetic characteristics been the northern Ene Basin and the Central and Southern Basins across the
Tambo Fault zone.

58

Figure 24: Evolution of the of the Tambo Fault zone (After Elf, 1996a) Two alternative
explanations with the inactive paleogeographic limit scenario being favored.

The interpretation of the eastern boundary of the Ene Basin and its relationship with
the Shira Mountains remains controversial. Field data in the area indicate the
presence of numerous diffuse extensional criteria (several observed normal faults and
sinistral wrench movements along the Tambo Fault zone direction). The chronology
of these two events has not been established. Field data confirms the seismic
interpretation of Tertiary series against relatively none-deformed Paleozoic
formations of the Shiras (Elf 1996c). This interpretation fits well the regional
interpretation of PARSEP in this and its preceeding studies (PARSEP, 2002a and b).
If the north trending Shira Mountains are controlled by a series of down to the west
normal faults of substantial displacement, this trend of older normal faults is probably
contemporaneous with Mitu deposition, and would parallel and be generically related
to the major pre-Mesozoic normal faults in the north to central western Ucayali and
the east central Ucayali as discussed in a previous section (4.3.3.2). In many ways the
Shira Mountains are acting in much the same manner as the Tiraco Dome and
Cushabatay Mountains to the north (PARSEP, 2002a) where they are older emplaced
highs acting as a buttress to the eastward advancement of the fold and thrust belt.
Elf in their evaluation of Block 66 divided the Ene Basin into three regions, the
northern, central and southern basins (Figure 21). The northern Ene Basin as depicted

59

by Elf (1996a) is bounded to the east by the Cordillera San Matias thrust and includes
the southern Oxapampa area. Its southern margin is roughly paralleling the Tambo
Fault Zone although there is no field evidence that this fault crosses through the
Basin. Nevertheless the magnetic data indicates a meaningful limit between two
different sectors of the Basement showing significantly different characteristics
(Figure 23). This emphasizes a deep inherited tectonic element that might have
influenced the paleogeography of the successive Mesozoic and Cenozoic Basins. In
terms of magnetic basement, the Tambo fault zone crossed the Ene Basin and extends
outside the Elf survey areas in both direction. It is associated with a major
susceptibility contrast between sediments and basement suggesting the possibility of
an oceanic or at least a transitional crust at depth.
The Tambo Fault zone can be interpreted as an inherited non-reactivated structure or
as an active strike-slip fault during Andean compression (Figure 24). As there is no
evidence of strike-slip movement or associated deformation (fold axis deflection)
west of the Tambo Fault Zone, it appears more as a passive limit between the Basin
and a basement high. Present day seismicity in the area also suggests that it is an
almost inactive entity (Figure 25). Elf proposes that the Shira Mountains acted as a
buttress and the observed en-echelon anticlines pattern in the Basin could be
associated to the influence of this rigid area. The tectonic evolution of this zone in
this later case is shown in Figure 24.

Figure 25: Location of present day seismicity in the Ene Basin and surrounding area (from Elf,
1996c).

60

The central Ene sub-basin (Figure 21 and 22) is occupied by a huge Tertiary syncline
whose syncline axis crossed across the boundary (Tambo Fault Zone) into the
northern sub-basin without displaying any evidence of a change of direction or
displacement. The boundary with the southern basin has been interpreted from
gravimetric data which indicates a roughly N-W step. As the northern sub-basin, it
also is affected by important active seismicity (Figure 25).
The southern Ene sub-basin from remote sensing and gravimetric analysis shows
significant differences with other parts of the Ene Basin. Surface structures appear to
be more continuous. The amount of deformation appears less important and the
wavelength of the structures is larger. The basement is apparently shallower than in
the northern and central sub-basins and the seismicity of the area (Figure 25) shows
strong discrepancies between the North and Central sub-basins that could reveal a
change in decollement level and consequently a major change in the paleogeographic
environment (Elf, 1996c).
Camisea Area
The Camisea area has been the focus of attention for a large number of years with the
discovery of the giant San Martin and Cashiriari and the smaller Mipaya
gas/condensate fields in the 1980s, and the Pagoreni in the 1990s, in the thrust and
fold belt of the southern Ucayali Basin. Consequently, much effort has gone into the
structural interpretation of the extensive data in this area by such companies as Shell
and Chevron. PARSEP due to time constraints and a limited seismic data set of
varying quality (see Section 5.0 on Geophysics) could never duplicate the excellent
work done in this region, especially by Shell. Additionally, with the recent
acquisition of a large 3D program over the Camisea Fields by Pluspetrol that may
ultimately redefine the geology of this area or at least in all certainty, refine it, the
PARSEP Group largely reviewed this area in order to incorporate it into the regional
context of the Ucayali/Ene Basin evaluation. The remainder of this section on the
Camisea area will be to highlight a number of observations that impact regional
tectonic trends rather than a discussion on the detailed structural interpretation of this
complex area. Structural Section F (Enclosure 3f) is the one exception to this, which
traverses the southern Basin tying outcrop, seismic and well data. This section
depicts the fold and thrust belt from the Paleozoic trusted region of the southern
Camisea area, across the San Martin structure and into the Basin.
Section F shows that the anticlinal structures of the Camisea area are typically ramp
fault bend folds with the principal detachment surface being contained within the
Ambo/Devonian section. In work that was done subsequent to this section, the Ambo
is seen to thin dramatically after the termination of the eastern-most thrust. This
being the case, it would appear that the forward advancement of the thrust front was
controlled by a depositional hingeline within the Ambo that probably had a tectonic
origin (Figure 9).
The Camisea fold belt is separated from the northern segments of the western fold belt
by the Shira Mountains, a positive tectonic feature that pre-dates the Camisea
thrusting (Figure 2). The termination of the fold belt against the Shira Mountains is
through a gradual diminishing of fault throw, both horizontally and vertically from
east to west, which is roughly coincidental with the Tambo Fault Zone. This

decrease in amplitude from east to west has resulted in the development of much
smaller structures such as Mipaya in the west relative to the large structures such as
San Martin and Cashiriari, to the east.

Tankard (2001) in his study done for PARSEP describes the Madre de Dios foldthrust belt (Camisea FTB in this study) as consisting of northward-verging, stacked
thrust sheets. The western margin of the thrust belt is rotated into an arcuate string of
faults against which it abuts. This arcuate string of structures is locally expressed in
the northward-oriented Cordillera Vilcabamba (Figure 26) that has a discordant
relationship to the overall tectonic fabric of Peru, and continues northward to form the
eastern sidewall or termination of the Acre basin, and finally appears to link the Acre
and Solimoes basins of Brazil. Like the Madre de Dios, the Solimoes basin also
suffered structural inversion at this time.
Tankard feels that the geometric relationships showing the northward-verging Madre
de Dios (Camisea) fold-thrust belt was rotating into this Vilcabamba fault system,
suggesting a left-lateral sense of displacement and lateral-ramp affinities (Figure 26).
The Cenozoic granitoids that form the Vilcabamba Cordillera are attributed to
transtensional dilation along this shear zone. This Vilcabamba shear zone
accommodated structural shortening, and relayed the compressional stresses into the
Solimoes basin as well. In this context, the faulted Fitzcarrald anticline (Figure 26)
was formed as a lateral fold associated with transcurrent displacement along the
principal Vilcabamba shear zone.
Before leaving the Camisea area one further point needs to be emphasized. It was
mentioned previously that the thin-skinned thrusting of the Camisea trend diminishes
to the west. Conversely, to the east of San Martin and Cashiriari it increases in
amplitude and steps out through a series of NNE trending lateral ramps further into
the Ucayali Basin creating several additional anticlinal trends that have not yet been
drilled. Three seismic lines shown in sequence in Figure 27 in the San Martin area
show the Camisea FTB progressively stepping out into the southern Ucayali Basin.
4.3.3.8 Structural Profiles
The structural profile study for the Ucayali Area was done to complete to scale
regional sections through the Basin utilizing all available data, which included seismic
data, exploratory wells, geologic field data, and geological maps. In the construction
of the profiles, where data was available, seismic was tied to the surface geology and
to wells in the subsurface with synthetics. The structural cross-sections (Enclosure 3a
to f) were prepared using a horizontal scale of 1: 100,000 and a vertical scale of
1:50,000. The six regional dip lines constructed for the Ucayali Basin are as follows:
Section A (Enclosure 3a)
FTB Santa Clara Orellana Area: This section shows a triangle zone developing
in the eastern area of the fold thrust belt. The section extends to the northeast through
the boundaries of the northern Ucayali into the southern Maraon passing first the
southern subsurface projection of the Cushabatay High and then the northern
subsurface projection of the Contaya Arch. Note the exceptionally thick section of
Ene interpreted to be preserved within the stratigraphic section.

64

Section B (Enclosure 3b)

FTB Pisqui Cashiboya Sur Area: The western margin of the Basin is represented
by a NW-SE trending NE-directed thrust with overturned beds. The profile crosses
the Pisqui anticline, a NW- SE trending asymmetrical feature that is bounded to the
east by a steeply west dipping, basement involved thrust fault. A thick lower
Mesozoic and possibly Ene section is preserved on the west flank of the structure.
After crossing a relatively untectonized section through the synclinal axis of the
Basin, the profile crosses the Cashiboya Sur feature, a popup-type structure which has
the Cretaceous sitting on a pre-Carboniferous section with the entire Copacabana
Group having been eroded off.
Section C (Enclosure 3c)
FTB Aguaytia Moa Divisor: The western area of the cross-section through the
thrust zone belt resembles that of the preceding section. In the western foreland
(Figure 28), the significant structures in this section are the southern continuation of
the Pisqui structure and the Aguaytia-Zorrillos feature, which is a productive gas
field. The Aguaytia feature is a NE-SW trending asymmetrical anticline, bounded to
the east by a steep NW dipping thrust fault. It is more than 100 km long, with steep
dipping eastern flank. On the eastern edge of the section is an interesting inversion
feature with a thick preserved Ene section beneath the Cretaceous. The eastern
boundary of the Basin here is defined in part by the Moa uplift to the north which lies
just inside, and sub parallel to, the Peruvian-Brazilian border.

Section C

Figure 28: Radar image of western regions of the Ucayali Basin crossed by Section C. Section B is
located parallel to C but just off the map to the north.

65

Section D (Enclosure 3d)

FTB Chio San Alejandro Agua Caliente South of Moa Divisor: This section
crosses several important geological features in the Ucayali Basin. They are, from
west to east:
1. The east verging FTB;
2. Thick salt swells of lower Mesozoic age that trend NW (drilled by the Chio
well);
3. The San Alejandro Structure;
4. The productive Agua Caliente Structure which represents the northern
subsurface extension of the Shira Mountains to the south; and
5. The northern plunge of the Tamaya-Rio Caco, north to south trending
anticline.
The Agua Caliente anticline is a NW- SE oriented dome-like structure, bounded to the
east by the westward-dipping Shira thrust; it is characterized by 20-35 E dipping
horizons on the eastern flank, and by 10 W dipping horizons on the western flank.
The anticline is breached and the Agua Caliente Formation crops out at the core of the
anticline, and the Chonta Formation crops out on the border. West of the Agua
Caliente structure there is a thick sequence of lower Mesozoic sediments preserved
that thin gradually to the east. East of the Agua Caliente structure, there are none.
Section E (Enclosure 3e)
Oxapampa Area Shira Mountains NE of Mashansha: In the west, this crosssection was constructed using the ELF 12 seismic line, which is located 6 kilometers
east of the Oxapampa 7-1 well. Field data indicate that Tertiary sediments outcrop
along most of the line except to the east in the cordillera San Matias where the Upper
Cretaceous Formations (Vivian, Cachiyacu) have been identified. East of the line, the
main thrust related to the San Matias thrust comes to the surface. Seismic and the
surface outcrops would suggest the presence of several thrusts in the San Matias
Mountains. Several salt sections were identified at different levels on seismic that
would further support the presence of several significant thrusts.
The Shira Mountains are the prominent structural feature on this section, which are
the topographic expression of a large asymmetrical anticline feature, found dipping
gradationally to the west and bounded by a major thrust fault system on the eastern
flank, a result of later Tertiary faulting. The elevation of the Shira Mountains is over
1000 meters above sea level. Some basement outcrops can be observed in the eastern
flank of the Shira anticline. Thinning of sediments from west to east indicates that the
Shira Mountains have been a paleo-high during different sedimentation stages.
Section F (Enclosure 3f)
Camisea area NE Panguana Area: The Camisea section crosses two different
structural provinces, the highly deformed western province with multiple thin-skinned
thrust faults, and the much less deformed eastern province. Deformation in the FTB
gradually decreases in intensity from the southwest to the northeast. The highly

66

shortened trends in the SW are almost no longer present towards the NE as the
anticlines progressively plunge and loose structural relief. The frontal thrust of the
FTB shown on the profile represents the San Martin Anticline on which the San
Martin, Cashiriari and Pagoreni gas/condensate discoveries have been made.

5.0 GEOPHYSICS
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Seismic interpretation was carried out in two halves North and South. Interpretation
of Ucayali North was done using the WinPics interpretation software from Kernel
Technologies, on a PC platform. Interpretation of Ucayali South was carried out on
Schlumberger GeoQuest IESX software mounted on a Sun Workstation in a Unix
environment.
Prior to interpretation, however, a number of serious navigational errors with the data
sets needed to be corrected. The first that needed to be done was to change the of
datums from PSAD 56 to WGS 84 and the second one, to change the projection from
TM to UTM.
To fix the first problem the datum was changed from PSAD 56 to a WGS 84 datum
using the coordinates from National Geographic Institute (IGN). The second issue
was considerably more complex. This was fixed by using the points of the seismic
coverage carried out by Norpac during the Petroperus seismic survey between 19831984, in addition to three Satellite points taken for PAN ENERGY from when they
drilled the San Alejandro 1X well. Using this data the Transformation deltas
(Projection differences) were calculated, and the coordinates for all the seismic
surveys carried out from latest seventies to the present were standardized.
The data sets used in the study and the number of lines available in each is presented
in Table 1 below

The tape also includes a .txt file on the navigation information used, and the
interpretations (horizons and faults) in ascii format.
5.2 DATA QUALITY
The data quality in the Northern half of the study was moderate to good. The data was
recorded between 1973 and 1998. Large holes in the SEGY data set unfortunately
prevented the north central basinal area from being interpreted, i.e. the Tiruritan 1X
area.
In the Southern half, data quality varied from very good to very bad. In particular
some of the Shell SHL-UBA series of lines had been processed for amplitude only,
and this was the only version of these lines available. Lines that did not tie to the main
data set (i.e., did not physically connect) were not used in the interpretation. None of
the Hispanoil line were used in the interpretation as they are of such poor quality.
Many lines had to be trace decimated on-screen to make them properly visible and
interpretable. The flexibility of the software was a great advantage in giving the
interpreter the advantage of changing displays quickly as needed.
In summary, the variable quality of the data did give some problems, and some lines
were not used in the interpretation, but on the whole interpretation was carried out
successfully within the given time frame.
5.3 WELL TIES
5.3.1 Ucayali North
Out of the 25 wells in the Ucayali North area, 13 reached the Paleozoic, and 3 reached
Basement of which a large number were used to generate synthetic seismograms to tie
to the seismic data. This was done directly in WinPics by first importing LAS files
with tops, creating a synthetic, and then to exporting the synthetic into a composite
seismic line on the workstation.
5.3.2 Ucayali South

Of the above wells, only the Sepa 1-x and Mashansha 1-x penetrated basement.
Synthetic seismograms for the well ties were generated in the Digi-rule software
system and plotted out on an HP 650 color plotter, then tied to paper plots of the
seismic sections as the software did not support inputting the wells logs and
generating the synthetics on screen. It is recommended that for future projects
PeruPetro add this software package to the GeoQuest interpretation workstation.
5.4 HORIZONS INTERPRETED
In Ucayali North, only the following horizons of the many that were interpreted, have
been included as data files in this report:
1. Top Pozo (and its time equivalent)
2. Base Cretaceous
3. Salt (lower Mesozoic)
4. Copacabana
5. Contaya
In the Southern half of the project, the following horizons were interpreted, and tied to
the wells in Table 2:
1. Upper Cretaceous
2. Base Cretaceous
3. Tambo
4. Top Devonian
5. Basement
The main faults throughout the area were interpreted and mapped, and fault boundary
files generated.
5.5 MAPS PLOTTED
The following maps were generated and plotted

3. Top Devonian to Basement (i.e. Palaeozoic)
A word is in order in general about the mapping before discussing the individual
maps.
Maps for Ucayali North were generated in the WinPics interpretation system. WinPics
does not allow for the honoring of fault boundaries in the contouring package.
However fault boundaries are displayed on the maps and the general form of the
structuring is clearly evident.
Maps for Ucayali South were generated and contoured using the Schlumberger
GeoQuest IESX software. The time constraints placed on this project made detailed
editing of the machine-generated contouring impossible. Gridding parameters were
chosen to maximize the use of the data points without in the one extreme oversmoothing of the data, or in the other extreme producing false anomalies. This meant
that the program had difficulty honoring the throw across the faults. However the
overall structural elements of the area are clear in the mapping. The thrust belt in the
South that contains the Camisea field is very evident. Again, time constraints made it
impossible to map anything other than the main faults. The Sepa structure is clearly
mapped, as are the large throw thrusts seen in the west against the Shira uplift.
The maps are included in the text of the report as page-sized plots, as well as
enclosures.
5.5.1 General Comments
Ucayali North All mapped horizons exhibit a basic North-South trend, with
shallow structuring to the North-East and South-West, separated by a low. All
horizons are affected by faults trending South-East North-West.
Ucayali South There are some comments to be made about features that are
common to all the horizons above the Devonian. Along the San Martin thrust, all
reflectors exhibit rollover into the various thrusts. The thrusting is very much
controlled by deeper events, including older thrusting at the Devonian level that
appears to have been the nucleus for younger movement. It should be noted that there
are some structures still undrilled along this trend.
Within the northern part of this Southern Ucayali area there are high-angle reverse
faults, with fairly small throw, that are re-activations of older, normal faults marking
the edges of grabens and half-grabens. The Mashansha well was drilled on the
upthrown side of one of these faults.
In the Mashansha area there is a marked basement graben that is the location of a
large Cretaceous channel (discussed later in this report). It is evident that the location
of the channel was controlled by the presence of older faulting. This zone of weakness
would have been a controlling factor in the drainage system at that time. The younger,

71

reverse faulting associated with the graben system affects all three of the shallower
horizons.
The structuring along the San Martin trend has been well documented, and is
confirmed in the present study. Closed, rollover structures into the main San Martin
thrust have resulted in several successful wells (Mipaya, San Martin, Pagoreni,
Cashiriari). The present study identifies an undrilled structure, again a rollover into a
thrust fault, to the north of the San Martin wells (seismic line SHL-UBA-22, Figure
29).

Figure 29: Seismic SHL-UBA-22 showing the San Martin structure on the South end of the line,
and an un-drilled structure just over half way along the line. The two red horizons mark the
Cretaceous interval. The blue pick is Top Devonian, the cyan is Basement.

5.5.2 Time Structure Maps Ucayali North

5.5.2.1 Pozo (Figure 30, Enclosure 4a)
The Pozo, a mid-tertiary sand-shale unit constitutes a regional marker in the Maraon
and parts of the Ucayali. Although the Pozo is know geologically to be present only
in the northern most portion of the Ucayali Basin, there were good reflectors in time
equivalent positions that allow the extrapolation of the horizon further south to
facilitate mapping.
The map shows a deep depression separating the NW-SE trending reverse fault
systems. Two large anomalies are mapped: one between Rio Caco and Runuya, with a
structural closure of 100ms over an area of 15x7km; and one in just to the north of
Rashaya Sur, also with a closure of 100ms.

5.5.2.2 Base Cretaceous (Figure 31, Enclosure 4b)

The Base Cretaceous is an unconformity that is easily recognizable on seismic data
throughout the whole of the Ucayali Basin. It exhibits many of the same features as
the younger Pozo formation, with the same closed structuring.
5.5.2.3 Copacabana (Figure 32, Enclosure 4c)
The limited extent of the Copacabana, as seen on the map shown in Figure 32 is a
result of extensive erosion of this once massive shelf carbonate (compare with the
Tambo maps for Ucayali South, where there is a marked erosional edge on the East of
the map area). The Copacabana shows an important structural closure in the Southern
portion of the Rio Caco area.
5.5.2.4 Contaya (Figure 33, Enclosure 4d)
Deposits of the Contaya are restricted to the Eastern part of the basin. This nearBasement pick has depths of up to 5300ms two-way time
5.5.3 Isochron Maps Ucayali North
5.5.3.1 Pozo to Base Cretaceous (Figure 34, Enclosure 4e).
This map shows that the Cretaceous thickens dramatically from South to North.
Thickness varies from 400ms to 1000ms (two way-way time).
5.5.3.2 Base Cretaceous Contaya Isochron (Figure 35, Enclosure 4f)
This map also demonstrates a dramatic thickening from South to North. It indicates a
Palaeo structural high in the Rashaya structure, with structural closure of more than
100ms. There is also an ancient depression running through the center of the Aguaytia
structure that testifies to its Andean inversion. In this sense the Aguaytia anomaly is
rather unique as demonstrated by this map. As this is the only productive anticline in
this immediate area, there may be some relationship between the two.
5.5.3.3 Salt Isochron (Figure 17, Enclosure 4g)
The map in Figure 17 (shown in a previous section) shows the distribution of the
evaporitic unit within the Jurassic section in this part of the Ucayali Basin. The salt
does not extend into the Southern part of the Basin, and is confined to the eastern part
of Ucayali North. As can be seen on the map, there is a particularly thick lens,
trending almost due North-South in the center of the map area, to the west of the Chio
well.

5.5.4 Time Structures Maps Ucayali South

5.5.4.1 Upper Cretaceous (Figure 36, Enclosure 5a)
This horizon, picked as near Vivian on the well ties, is a fairly good reflector and can
be picked easily throughout the survey area. It is highly structured in the Mipaya/San
Martin area where it is heavily fault controlled. Mapping shows good rollover into the
faults in this area. There is considerable closure over the Sepa structure as well. The
Upper Cretaceous shallows to the East of the study area, over an extensive basement
high. This horizon is uplifted to near surface near the Shira Mountains to the west.

Figure 36: Upper Cretaceous Time Structure, Ucayali South.

5.5.4.2 Base Cretaceous (Figure 37, Enclosure 5b)

The base Cretaceous is a marked and familiar unconformity throughout the area and is
a good pick to follow. Its form mirrors the Upper Cretaceous in many respects, except
for a feature just east of the Mashansha well, where the surface is eroded by a channel
feature that has not been interpreted as such in any previous work. This channel
feature is discussed in detail later. This horizon also shows good rollover into the San
Martin fault, and has large areal closure on the Sepa structure. It is generally flat and
featureless to the East over the basement high.

75

Figure 37: Base Cretaceous Structure Time, Ucayali South.

5.5.4.3 Tarma (Figure 38, Enclosure 5c)

This reflector was more difficult to pick throughout the area, as it does not appear to
have as strong a reflection coefficient as the others. However it was possible to follow
it through most of the area. In map form it has much the same characteristics of the
other, younger horizons. There is closure over the Sepa structure, and rollover into the
main San Martin fault. The Tambo thins and subcrops on the Eastern side of the
project area.
5.5.4.4 Top Devonian (Figure 39, Enclosure 5d)
This is the nearest horizon to basement picked in the present interpretation and is
largely controlled by the basement structuring. Along the San Martin thrust belt, the
Devonian is displaced a small amount by an old, nearly horizontal thrust. This
displacement on the Devonian appears to control the movement of the main San
Martin Thrust the Devonian (+ Ambo) surface may well be the decollement for the
younger thrusting. This reflector is uplifted (along with the others) in the main thrust
zone to the West against the Shira uplift. In the Northern part of the South Ucayali
study area, the Devonian is faulted by the younger rejuvenated reverse faults over
Basement grabens and half grabens, including the graben controlling the channel
feature mentioned earlier, and discussed in detail later.

76

77

5.5.4.5 Basement (Figure 40, Enclosure 5e)

Interpretation of the basement was tied to the two basement penetrations - wells Sepa
1X and Mashansha 1X. The Sepa structure is controlled by a broad basement dome,
clearly seen on seismic and on the time structure map (Enclosure 5e) In the northern
part of this portion of the Ucayali study, this is a well-defined reflector that becomes
steadily shallower to the East until the Basement pick and top Devonian become
almost one and the same. Block faulting of the basement controls much of the
overlying structuring in the north and east of this area; to the south, the San Martin
thrust is in part controlled by deeper, older thrusting that affects the basement
morphology. The San Martin thrust provides the structuring for the Camesea gas field,
well documented by the Chevron and Shell work. To the northern part of the South
Ucayali study area, basement faulting along grabens and half grabens controls
younger, rejuvenated near-vertical reverse faults.

5.5.5 Isochron Maps Ucayali South

5.5.5.1 Cretaceous Isochron (Upper to Base) (Figure 41, Enclosure 5f)
The main feature on this map is the thickening seen along the major channel feature,
from North to South. It would appear that there is a major depositional feature in this
part of the Basin. Further study of this feature is recommended as a possible new play
type is involved here.

Figure 41: Cretaceous Isochron, Ucayali South.

5.5.5.2 Upper Cretaceous Tarma Isochron (Figure 42, Enclosure 5g)

This map indicates that the Isochron interval generally thins to the North-East, as the
Tarma becomes thinner and eventually pinches out along a line running generally
NW-SE. There is a very thick unit in the Southwest.
5.5.5.3 Lower Paleozoic (Devonian-Basement) Isochron (Figure 43, Enclosure 5h)
This is possibly the most interesting and significant map of the present interpretation.
On it can be seen the following features:
The graben system controlling the channel feature in the middle of the Northern
part of the Southern Ucayali study area.
A major half-graben feature in the Western part of the study area.
The major thickening of the unit in the South-West portion of the study area.

5.5.6 Cretaceous Channel Play Ucayali South

Historically in the Ucayali Basin, as the in the Maraon to the north, exploration has
targeted young structures controlled by older, deeper structures. Stratigraphic
mechanisms have been largely ignored. Future work in the Basin must include a
proper study of the sequence stratigraphy and seismic stratigraphy.
There is a stratigraphic feature in the survey area, shown in Figure 44 (a plot of a
portion of three parallel lines over the feature in question) that has been known for
some time but never examined in close detail before.
Close examination of this anomaly would seem to indicate that it is a large channel
that has filled a tectonic depression within the Paleozoic at this location. Interpretation
and mapping shows that this was most likely part of a deltaic system, sourced from
the north, depositing into a depocenter to the south (Figure 45). The channel gradually
thins to the north, pinching out and providing closure of the channel sands in that
direction. There is some evidence of high amplitudes within the channel so that this
may well provide a new, stratigraphic trapping mechanism within the study area. The
position of the channel is to a certain extent controlled by a deep basement half
graben; the fault on the east side of the graben was obviously the zone of weakness
controlling the drainage system in the Cretaceous and later. Future work should
include sequence stratigraphy in this area to try and understand the possible
provenance of the sands and their depositional environment. The present study does
not afford the luxury of the time necessary to do such a detailed study of this one area.

Figure 44: Seismic Lines rep35-124, 126 and 128 (top to bottom), over the channel feature discussed
in the text. Note the high amplitude event in the middle of the channel on line 126.

81

It would appear that the location of the channel is in part controlled by the presence of
basement faulting which has also been re-activated later, affecting the upper
Cretaceous as well. This can be seen on lines rep35-124, 126 and 128 (Figure 44)

Figure 45: Cretaceous channel Isochron, Ucayali South.

In the above figure it can be seen that the channel thickens gradually to the South, a
possible depocentre at this time. The channel sands thin and pinch out to the North,
giving a good chance of a major stratigraphic trap. The Mashansha well, drilled
immediately West of the channel had major oil shows. The presence of hydrocarbons
in the area makes the channel an interesting feature for further studies.
5.5.7 Future work to be done
As has been stated previously, this study was hampered somewhat by the lack of data
is certain areas, and the quality of some of the data provided. There is potential for
quite a bit of more work here:
Incorporating more available data into the study area.
Reprocessing of some of the data sets to make them compatible with
the data presently available.
A more detailed study of the channel with a view to drilling the first
stratigraphic target in the basin. The study should include an
assessment of both reservoir potential and source rock migration paths
to ensure that the channel could be charged.
82

6.0 WELL SUMMARY

A detailed evaluation was done in this study of the 10 wells drilled between 1990 and
2002 (Appendix 3). The intention of this work was to identify the success /failures of
each to understand better how to explore for Ucayali Oil. Where possible PARSEP
generated maps that were utilized from the available well and seismic data and using
the interpretation provided by the operator only when sufficient data was not
available. These evaluations are presented in Appendices 3a to 3j and include the
wells,
1. Agua Caliente 31X
2. Cachiyacu 1X
3. Chio 1X
4. Insaya 1X
5. Mashansha 1X
6. Pagoreni 1X
7. Rashaya Sure 1X
8. Panguana 1X
9. San Alejandro 1X
10. Shahuinto 1X
Additionally, because of the their importance of with respect to discovered reserves in
the Ucayali Basin, the Cashiriari 1X and San Martin 1X well were also included in
this appendix but more from a standpoint of reference than one of evaluation.

7.0 PETROLEUM GEOLOGY

7.1 GEOCHEMISTRY
7.1.1 General
Petroperu and a host of other exploration companies have conducted numerous
geochemical studies in the Maraon and neighboring Santiago and Huallaga Basins
resulting in an abundance of data. These studies include 1) regional basin studies
incorporating data from wells, and outcrops along the Basin border, and 2) analyses
on individual wells carried out by exploration companies as part of their routine well
evaluation. The studies cover the following: complete geochemical analyses to
evaluate potential source rocks; make oil-source rocks correlations; genetically
classify oils; and basin modeling to establish level of maturity, hydrocarbon
generation timing and alteration of the oils and location of possible hydrocarbon
kitchens. For detailed coverage of these and all geochemical reports the reader is
referred to a database recently completed of all original geochemical reports in the
Perupetros technical archives.
Time did not permit the PARSEP group to go into any depth and evaluate in detail the
geochemistry aspects of the Ucayali Basin let alone complete a Basin Modeling
evaluation as was done for the Maraon Basin (PARSEP, 2002b). As such it, it is
recommended that such a study be undertaken to further understand the petroleum
systems of the Ucayali Basin
Unlike the Maraon Basin, with two documented source rocks, the Chonta and the
Pucar, the Ucayali Basin has multiple source rocks including the Pucar, Ene,
Tarma/Copacabana, Ambo and Cabanillas. Additionally most of the wells drilled in
the Basin have had shows, many which have recovered high gravity crudes. Clearly
hydrocarbons are being generated in great quantity in the Basin from a variety of
sources. One of the objectives of this study was to identify and map seismically
where potential kitchen areas for the various source rocks may reside. Several maps
were completed in this respect for the Ene, Ambo, and Devonian (Cabanillas). These
have been presented in Figures 12, 9 and 43 respectively.
PARSEP had previously conducted a first approach of hydrocarbon generation
modeling through Chem Terra Intl. Consultants CTI (2000). The study gave an insight
of events as well as various parameters for refinements and data estimates for more
precise future modeling. This study is included in the Appendix 4 of PARSEP
(2002b)
7.1.2 Source Rocks
In the Sub-Andean Basins of Peru, based on TOC and Rock-Eval data, numerous
formations from Ordovician age to the Tertiary can be identified as potential source
rocks in the sub-Andean Basins of Peru. They are as follows:

84

Tertiary
Pozo Shale Formation with Type II Kerogen, locally developing into a
Kerogen Type I may be restricted to the Santiago and the Huallaga Basins,
low TOC quantities are recorded in most parts of the Maraon Basin;
Cretaceous
Chonta Formation contains Type II and Type II-III Kerogens with frequent
TOC concentrations in the range 2-3% in the northern and NW areas of the
Maraon Basin and the Santiago Basin
Raya, Agua Caliente and Cushabatay Formations also have source
characteristics, but mainly Kerogen Type III and III-II quality;
Triassic/Jurassic
Pucar Group is a bituminous carbonate with interbedded organic rich shale
sections and is considered the principal source rock in the southern Maraon
and northern Ucayali Basins and source for the Maquia, Aguaytia and Pacaya;
Paleozoic
Late Permian Ene Formation (the source of the oil in the Agua Caliente Field
and the oil tested in well La Colpa 1X.). Permian source rocks are important
contributors in the Madre de Dios Basin and Bolivia further to the south. In
the Ene Basin excellent quality source rocks have been found within the Ene
and consequently, is expected to be the principal source rock there.
Ambo/Tarma-Copacabana Formations with marine shales and carbonates in
the southern portion of the Basin. The Ambo has sourced the giant
gas/condensate fields of the Camisea Area.
Ordovician Contaya and Devonian Cabanillas Formations have extreme
maturity and moderate present-day TOC values in the SE Maraon, and like
the Permian source are important contributors in the Madre de Dios Basin and
Bolivial.
In summary geochemical studies by various Groups have shown that the Paleozoic in
the Peruvian Sub-Andean Basins has hydrocarbon source rocks ranging in age from
Devonian through Permian including the Cabanillas (Devonian), Ambo
(Carboniferous), and Ene (Permian). These source beds exist primarily in the central
and southern Basins of Peru. Mesozoic source beds include the Cretaceous Chonta
Formation with lesser contributions from other Cretaceous intervals, and the Triassic
to Jurassic Pucar Formation. The Cretaceous source rocks, however, are limited
only to the northern Maraon and Santiago Basin. Of particular importance within
the Mesozoic are the Pucar source rocks, which are attributed to sourcing most of the
oil and gas in the Southern Maraon and Northern Ucayali Basins.
7.2 RESERVOIRS/SEALS
In the Ucayali Basin, because of the much thicker section of Paleozoic rocks
preserved, there are considerably more reservoirs that can be explored for than in the
Maraon Basin. One of the more complete works on this topic was completed by SPT
85

(1993) in the Geology, Hydrocarbon Potential and Prospect Analysis Ucayali Basin
Report for Petroperu. A good portion of the following section relies heavily on SPTs
work.
SPT concluded the proven reservoirs within the Basin include the following:
Ene Formation (Lower Permian)
Cushabatay Formation (Lower Cretaceous)
Raya Formation (Upper Cretaceous)
Chonta Formation (Upper Cretaceous)
Vivian Formation (Upper Cretaceous)
Cachiyacu (Upper Cretaceous)
Casa Blanca PARSEP Upper Vivian (Upper Cretaceous)
Subsequent to the SPT study, much analysis has gone into the stratigraphy of the
Camisea area, which has also proven reservoirs in the Agua Caliente (Upper Nia),
several discrete sands within Ene Interval, a lower basal sand (Ene) and an upper sand
(Noipatsite) and the Lower Nia sandstone of the Manique Group (which if present is
usually found in contact with the unconformably overlain Agua Caliente).
Both regional and local seals are present within the Ucayali Basin. The proven
regional seals are concentrated within the Cretaceous interval and include
Raya Formation (Esperanza Member, Lower Cretaceous)
Chonta Formation (Upper Cretaceous)
Cachiyacu Formation (Upper Cretaceous)
Huchpayacu Formation (Upper Cretaceous)
Additional to this and again from the Camisea area would be the Permian Shinai,
which is a 70-100m thick organic-rich carbonate mudstone that overlies the
sandstones of the Ene Formation
Although non-productive as of yet, one of the principal exploration targets in the
Basin has been for the Green Sandstone, a Late Carboniferous sandstone of the Tarma
Group. In the La Copla well for example, the sandstone had good SP deflection, a
blocky and clean GR, and good neutron and density log response indicating 37.9m
pay with 19.4% porosity.
Other more speculative reservoir targets include
The deltaic sandstones of the Early Carboniferous Ambo Group sealed by
intraformational shales
Intratitidal carbonates of the Pucar Group as seen in the Shanusi 1X well of
the southern Maraon Basin. Anticipated seal would be the transitional
sabkha evaporites separating the Pucar from the Sarayaquillo
Karsted Copacabana carbonates although seals are a problem and this is
dependant upon which sediments unconformably overlie the Copacabana Mitu, Pucar, evaporites, Sarayaquillo, or Cretaceous sediments.
In summary the most attractive reservoirs in the Ucayali Basin are those of the
Cretaceous, Manique (Lower Nia), Ene, and Green sandstone. The Cretaceous
typically has the best petrophysical qualities although its distribution is not uniform

86

throughout the Basin. Extensive mapping of the various Cretaceous units and
sand/shale ratios for each was not conducted as part of this study. The reader is
referred to SPTs excellent and complete analysis of the Cretaceous reservoirs in their
1993 study. The one issue to highlight within the Cretaceous however is with the
distribution of the Cushabatay. The Cushabatay is a reservoir target in the northern
Ucayali Basin but it disappears to the south and east as it onlaps the Paleozoic
unconformity surface reflecting an overall thinning of the Cretaceous section.
Consequently, in the southern Ucayali Basin, the basal most Cretaceous reservoir
target would be the Agua Caliente sandstone as has been proven in the Camisea area.
The Ene sandstone distribution is spotty and dependent upon erosional inliers, which
have been outlined in Figure 12. The Green Sandstone on the other hand represents
an attractive reservoir target, as it is widespread throughout a good part of the Basin.
In the Ene Basin, Elf (1996) concluded that the principal reservoir target was the
Cushabatay as there is little to no Vivian present. The only other potential reservoir
within the Cretaceous that was noted, was a littoral sandstone attributed to the Agua
Caliente that is found beneath the Chonta. A deeper possibility in the area may exist
within the Ene sandstone but some analysis carried out on samples of an intra-Ene
sandstone by Elf, showed a rather low reservoir potential to this formation. The
porosity is low and strong silicification downgraded the permeability.

7.3 PROSPECTS/LEADS
The Ucayali/Ene Basin Study was intended to be a regional work, integrating as much
data as possible within the Basin to investigate whether new exploration concepts,
etc., could be defined. It was not intended to be an exploration exercise where the
ultimate goal is in defining drillable prospects. Ultimately however, in a study such
as this, certain prospects and leads do emerge and this section is a summary of our
findings. During the process of this evaluation two structural prospects and two
stratigraphic leads were defined. It should be noted that there are numerous other
structural leads in the Basin and these have more or less been documented in
Perupetros Catalogo de Prospectos No Perforados. 2001 ITP. The structural
prospects highlighted here are done so as they were mapped in more detail, are in
relatively inactive areas at the moment and show some potential. The two
stratigraphic traps on the other hand are new concepts and believed to be only
partially representative of what can be found when a concentrated effort in exploring
for stratigraphic traps is applied.
7.3.1 Structural Prospects
7.3.1.1 Rashaya Norte
Rashaya Norte (Appendix 3h, Figures 3 and 4) has been identified by several
companies; the most notable in recent years was Pan Energy who had this inventoried
as one of their drillable prospects. Pluspetrol also identified it in their evaluation of
Rashaya Sur location, on which they eventually drilled a dry hole with oil shows.
PARSEPs interpretation of this structure is different than that of both Pan Energy and

87

Pluspetrol. Pan Energy had interpreted this feature is such a way that it resembled an
inverted graben with salt being present beneath the Cretaceous unconformity. Our
interpretation has the structure as a Paleozoic horst block with the Cretaceous
overlying Cabanillas on the crest of the structure and Copacabana on its flanks. The
interpretation of Pluspetrol is different in that they have the Rashaya Sur as a much
larger structure areally and vertically than the Rashaya North structure. PARSEPs
interpretation is that the Rashaya Norte is the much larger of two and consequently
represents a more attractive drilling target than Rashaya Sur. The Rashaya Sur well
had gas shows of C1 to C5s and fluorescence through the Raya, Cushabatay (weaker
shows), and the Pumayacu. A DST of an upper Raya sand tested 0.6 BBL
compeletion fluid, 16 BBL FmWtr (42,600 ppm Cl) and 39 BBL diesel and 40.6o API
oil.
7.3.1.2 Rio Caco Sur
The Rio Caco Sur prospect is located along the massive Runuya/Rio Caco/Tamaya
anticline (Figure 46), south of the Rio Caco well, within a well defined four-way dip
closure (Figure 47. Potential exists within the Cretaceous, and Paleozoic (including
Ene). Shows have been encountered in the surrounding wells:
Rio Caco 1X well had good oil shows in the Raya and Cushabatay
Runuya had shows within the Paleozoic section
Tamaya 1X had good oil shows in the Cushabatay

7.3.2 Stratigraphic Leads

7.3.2.1 Cushabatay South Pucar Lead (CSPL)
The CSPL lead is defined primarily by one seismic line, Coastals CP739801 (Figure
48) shot in 1998 south of the Cushabatay High in the northern Ucayali Basin. This
lead is based on the concepts developed for the Pucar as a result of the evaluation of
the Shanusi 1X well as describe
in PARSEP (2002a).
The
Shanusi well tested the Pucar
on a paleo-horst block that is
believed to have influenced
deposition during Pucar time.
In this well, gas charged porous
dolomitic carbonates were
encountered. It is believed that
over this paleo-high, high
energy
carbonates
were
deposited that may have
consisted of grainstones or
possibly even reefal type
deposits that represents a
porous fairway trend within the
Pucar that can be explored for.

carbonates are expected to have been deposited over a Copacabana erosional high. The upper
section is a time section, the middle section is flattened on the Base Cretaceous and the bottom
section is flattened on the Pucar.

90

Seismic line CP739801 is shown in Figure 49 in a variety of forms. The first is a time
section, which shows the prominent structures in the area, two NW trending Andean
aged high angle reverse faults. The CSPL lead is located between these two
structures within the low. In Figure 49, the middle section is flattened on the Base
Cretaceous and the bottom on the Pucar. The play is set up by an erosional high in
the Paleozoic over which was deposited the Pucar with presumably high energy
carbonates, creating a situation almost analogous to what was described for the
Shanusi Well. This is best demonstrated on the Pucar flattening where the erosional
high is seen to be coincidental with the subcrop edges of the Copacabana whose
limestones would have been more resistant to erosion than the over and underlying
rocks. It is also interesting to note the reflectors paralleling the Pucar within the
Paleozoic section which are in high contrast to the steep east dips the sediments are
know to have from seismic. Consequently, it is interesting to speculate that this
perhaps represents a karstified zone within the Copacabana limestones. Seals for the
play would be the more tight, basinal carbonates of the Pucar located within the
depression to the east and the evaporites that are believed to separate the Pucar from
the Sarayaquillo.
7.3.2.2 Mashansha Channel
As this lead was covered in Section 5.5.6 it will just be summarized here. In Figure
44 (a plot of a portion of three parallel lines over the feature in question) there is a
stratigraphic feature that has been interpreted to be a Cretaceous channel cutting into
the Paleozoic of probable Ene and Copacabana age. Interpretation and mapping
shows that it was most likely part of a deltaic system, sourced from the north,
depositing into a depocentre to the south (Figure 45). The channel gradually thins to
the north, pinching out and providing closure of the channel sands in that direction
and thus the possibility of a major stratigraphic trap. If this channel is filled with
porous sands, it may explain the lack of hydrocarbons with the Mashansha structure,
as there would have been no lateral seal. Any hydrocarbons that were present in
Mashansha would have leaked into the Channel and migrated elsewhere, possibility
into a stratigraphic trap that lies somewhere within this Cretaceous sand body.
An alternative interpretation, however is that the Cretaceous unconformity is higher
than mapped and what is interpreted a Cretaceous Channel is in fact an Ene inlier
beneath the unconformity.

8.0 CONCLUSIONS
The Ucayali Basin is one of several Sub Andean Basins in Peru, with mixed
exploration success. The Basin is approximately 650 km long and about 250 km in
width. Much of the Basin remains under-explored. This is a poly-history basin, with
elements of both extensional and compressional tectonics, with older, Paleozoic faults
being rejuvenated as reverse faults that have controlled much of the structuring and
hence the trapping mechanisms of the Basin. The western boundary of the Basin is
dominated by a thin-skinned fold and thrust belt along almost its entirety, which is
interrupted only by the Shira Mountains in the southern regions of the Basin. It is
within the fold and thrust belt south of the Shira Mountains that the giant Camisea
fields have been discovered.
Generally, the principal reservoirs in the Basin have been within the Cretaceous and
the Lower Nia (Camisea) although others in the Late Carboniferous Tarma Group
(Green Sandstone), and the shoreface and fluvial sandstones of the Late Permian Ene
have been targeted. The later is a major contributor to the reserves of the Camisea
fields
The work completed in this study was an attempt to first standardize the data digital
set (seismic and wells) and then to utilize the data completing a regional evaluation of
the Ucayali/Ene Basin. The first part was accomplished and a digital data set is now
completed and includes,
1. A tied (as well as could be) SEGY data set representing a large portion
of the available seismic in the Ucayali Basin
2. Composite log LAS files for each of the exploration wells of the
Ucayali Basin
3. An Access database with tops, tests, etc., of all exploration wells in the
Ucayali Basin
Further recommended work on this segment would be to,
1. Obtain the Oxy and Pangea seismic data sets in the areas of the La
Colpa and Shahuinto wells
2. Complete the loading and tying of the Shell UB and UBA data sets in
the Camisea area as there was still data coming in as this project was
winding down
3. Obtain the better processed seismic for some of the data sets. The
most notable would be in with the Shell data set in the Camisea area
where some of the data supplied to PARSEP had only a special
amplitude processing, and the Elf data in the Ene Basin where a better
reprocessed data set is known to exist
4. Scan critical seismic lines in the area where there is currently no SEGY
data to create a more representative regional data set
5. Incorporate the development wells of the Ucayali into the database
with proper bottom hole locations.

92

6. Resolve the coordinate problem that seems to exist in the Camisea area
as this project found it necessary to utilize two different projections in
the Basin to have all the wells tie the plotted seismic data.
The second part of the project was completed up to the point of developing a regional
stratigraphic and tectonic framework in the Basin that can be used as a building block
for future studies. As a result of this study, additional work in the following areas is
recommended,
1. Basin modeling at a number of critical point in the Basin be done
incorporating the concepts advanced in this study to further understand
migration and timing better.
2. A hydrodynamic study is strongly recommended, as fresh water
flushing in the Cretaceous is a major exploration risk. Also with such
a strong drive, tilted oil water contacts in this Basin may be important
and may help better explain the failure of some wells.
3. A further investigation into why some many wells within the Basin
foreland structures have excellent hydrocarbon shows but are dry holes
or lack sufficient accumulations to be economically viable. Is this a
problem of seals, migration/structural timing, or hydrodynamics? This
was a problem tackled during the course of this project but one that
was not successfully resolved.
4. Complete a detailed seismic sequence stratigraphic study in the Basin
to further investigate the possibility of large stratigraphic traps in the
Basin.
The most attractive area without much doubt in Ucayali Basin is within the fold and
thrust belt along its entirety but particularly, in the area of the Oxapampa wells where
a considerable gas column has already been discovered in one of the wells, and in the
Camisea area. In the foreland, there are still a large number of undrilled structures of
which this report documents two that with further understanding of the points
addressed above, may be attractive drilling targets. The final point to emphasize is
that this Basin has multiple, mature source rocks and there apparently has been large
quantities of oil migrating through the system as evidenced by the numerous shows in
most of the wells drilled in the Basin. Stratigraphic traps should therefore have an
excellent chance of receiving a significant hydrocarbon charge and this Basin with
such a variable stratigraphy because of its complex structural history, should contain
numerous ones. This report documents two, one in the Pucar and the other in the
Cretaceous.

Figure 15: Stratigraphic cross-section flattened on Base Cretaceous shows detailed late Permian stratigraphy. Note excellent log correlation in Shinai, and two 10 m.
thick anhydrite beds in the Middle Mudstone Formation and anhydrite beds in the Noi Sandstone Patsite Member.

Figure 22: Structural profile G through the central Ene Basin modeled from the interpretation of seismic line Elf96-09 (after Elf, 1996c). In this region, the principal detachment
surface and zone of multiple imbrications, is interpreted to be within the Cabanillas Formation. The Elf interpretation has the western margin of the Shira Mountains as an old
high controlled by a series of down to the west normal faults of substantial displacement that acted as a buttress to eastern the advancing thrust front.

The Agua Caliente Dome is an elongated NW/SE trending 12 by 7.5 km. surface anticline over which the Agua Caliente oil field was discovered
in 1938. It produces 44 API oil from the Cushabatay and Raya (Aguanuya and Paco Sands) Formations. The Chonta Formation outcrops on the
surface in the core of the structure and the Vivian and lower Tertiary Formations along the flanks. In subsurface as seen in the discovery well, the
Agua Caliente 1X (stratigraphic cross-sections 4 and 7), the Cretaceous section directly overlies the Tarma/Copacabana Group including the basal
Green Sandstone unit, which is found at the base. This Group in turn overlies the Contaya Formation, which was deposited over a quartzitic
Basement. A sequence of Jurassic and Paleozoic age is interpreted to border the core of the dome preserved in erosional contact under the
Cretaceous unconformity. It should be noted that
the Green Sandstone unit at the base of the Tarma has not been previously interpreted as being present in this well before.

The Agua Caliente 31D-1X was programmed to test hydrocarbon accumulations in the flank of the Agua Caliente Dome, west of the oil field. The
objectives were the sands of lower Raya (Aguanuya), Cushabatay, Pucara, Ene and the limestones of the Copacabana Formations. The well TDd
at 991m and drilled the programmed objectives with the exception of the Ene Formation. Light oil shows were encountered in very fine-grained
sands in the transitional contact between Cushabatay and Raya Formations and slight fluorescence was detected in the top of the Copacabana
Formation underlying the Aramachay Formation. No gas shows were encountered. These shows represent stratigraphic traps in discontinuous
sands interfingering with shale. The Copacabana limestones contained the typical fusulinid fossils on the top of the unit. The organic rich black
shales of the Aramachay Formation are similar to those found in the San Alejandro 1X well where shales had good TOC. Sands of Cretaceous age
show the good reservoir character found elsewhere in the Basin.
No tests were performed and the well was abandoned as a dry hole. As the well was drilled well off structure (Figures 3 and 4) it is assumed that
this well was drilled to test a stratigraphic trap

AGUA CALIENTE

The Cachiyacu Structure is an asymmetrical NW/SE trending anticline located on the western border of the Contaya Arch and bounded on
the NE flank by the NE and E verging Contamana/Cashiboya Thrusts. It runs for 33 x 6 km with a vertical fault closure of 430m at the
base of Cretaceous and a net closure of 56m with 4,566 acres at the top of Cretaceous. The Cachiyacu/Insaya and the neighboring
Huaya/Maquia/ Pacaya structural alignments are related tectonically to the Contaya Arch and to the last tectonic pulses of Tertiary age. No
seismic data was provided to PARSEP over this well, as part of this study.
The Cachiyacu 1X well is located on the crest of the anticline defined by the 1989-1990 Seismic, on seismic line MQ-90-16, SP 345, and
14 km to the east of the Maquia oil field. Original primary objectives were the Cretaceous Vivian, Cachiyacu, Chonta, Agua Caliente and
Cushabatay Formations and the Paleozoic Tarma (Green Sandstone) to a PTD of 1497m. However, the well was TDd at 1220m in the
upper Cushabatay, due to rig capacity. Tops for the Raya and Cushabatay Formations were found 24 and 7m higher respectively than in the
prognosis.
No shows were encountered in the cuttings. The only oil shows were observed in SWCs at 447m in the Cachiyacu Formation and at 476.6
and 479m in the top Lower Vivian Formation. The interval with shows is interpreted as containing movable oil as determined from wireline logs. The test of the Lower Vivian very likely had communication with the underlying wet massive sandstones, since RFTs pressures
detected the presence of a single reservoir. Although a negative SP indicates flushing, some sandstones produced salt water indicating that
they are isolated and protected from flushing. The area has excellent reservoirs with porosity in excess of 20-25%. Permeability ranges
from 50-70 to 150-350 were found in the Vivian in the Cashiriari 1X well. The entire Cretaceous interval and the lowermost Tertiary has
well-developed shale seals overlying the reservoirs of Raya, Chonta, and Cachiyacu age. Tertiary age.

Table 1: Chio 1X well data

The objective of the well was to evaluate a structural closure at the Pucar level and a Copacabana carbonate mound feature on the NE
corner of Block 81 based on the mapping of 1500km of reprocessed seismic. The main risk was that the interpreted mounds were salt or
anhydrite, as carbonate buildup (bioherm) had ever been drilled in the Basin. The mound tested had an areal closure of 3967ha and 300m
of vertical closure. Little closure was seen within the Cretaceous sediments (Figure 3), but structural/stratigraphic traps were of secondary
importance.
The Chio 1X well drilled the mound and proved to it to be salt, capped by a 4 meter-thick anhydrite bed underlying Sarayaquillo (Figures 2
and 4). The presence of salt water was detected as the mud chlorides increased from 7000 to 36000 ppm Cl after a significant drilling break
3 m above the top of the evaporites was encountered. Drilling resumed after the setting of a 7" liner, 21m above the top of Salt, but drilling
was eventually suspended after intersecting 189m of salt. Preliminary interpretation of the VSP indicated a lithology with faster velocity
than salt was present some 100 to 130m deeper. The Salt was interpreted as being 350m in thickness of which 189m had already been
drilled.
The Cretaceous and Sarayaquillo sections were drilled encountering few and poor indications of hydrocarbons. The base of Raya and the
base of Cushabatay had slight C1-C3 shows. Based on drilling results the well was not tested and it was abandoned as a dry hole.
No closed structure develops below or above the salt at Chio, although the salt pillows grew in pre-Cretaceous time as a large portion of the
Sarayaquillo Formation is eroded above by the overlying pre-Cretaceous unconformity. No later additional growth is detectable in the
Chio salt mound. PARSEPs Base Cretaceous 2WT Structure Map shows a west dipping monocline away from the San Alejandro
structural trend (Figure 3). A positive stratigraphic correlation with the San Alejandro 1X well identifies the strong seismic reflector below
the salt as Top Pucar at 2.315 msec on seismic line NP-31 presented in Figure 4. These saline anomalies had been mapped previously by
Petroleos del Peru throughout a large portion of the Ucayali Basin (Reategui, 1984). The well proved the mounds to be salt located
stratigraphically between the Sarayaquillo and the Pucar.

Table 1: Insaya 1X well data

Insaya is a NW/SE trending Andean age anticline parallel to and west of the Contamana Mountains bounded on the NE flank by a thrust fault.
Reserves were calculated to be 39 MMBO (46% fill up case), with 35 milliseconds of fault independent relief. Minimum reserves to be
economic and potential reserves were calculated as 25 and 209 MMBO, respectively. According to the original interpretation Insaya is located
closer to a potential Permian Ene source graben (to the west) than Maquia. Risk involved source rock presence, migration, trap timing and
hydrodynamic flushing.
The Insaya 1X well was programmed to test the Cachiyacu and Vivian Formations on the crest of the NW highest culmination, 25km to the NW
of the Maquia oil field. A coring program was designed to see physical evidence of hydrocarbons for extensive testing operations in an area
with expected high resistivity on logs. The well basically proved the pre-well structural interpretation. No gas or oil shows in the mud and
cuttings was noted and only local faint fluorescence with no cut was observed in the Cachiyacu. Reservoirs all had good measured porosity and
permeability of up to 30% and 1073mD respectively. Most, if not all, sands in Vivian, Chonta and Agua Caliente were found with fresh water
(see SP in front of sands in Figure 2). No tests were performed and the well was abandoned as a dry hole.

PARSEP TWT seismic map at Base Cretaceous in Figure 3 shows the Insaya Structure with its two culminations. Figures 2 and 4 of the log and
a seismic section shows that the well cut a thrust fault at 1040m near the top of the Agua Caliente Formation and drilling continued into the
footwall section of a repeated Chonta and Agua Caliente interval. The Insaya well 1X tested a valid structural closure in Vivian.
An explanation for the lack of success may be either one of freshwater flushing, age of structuration (post-dating hydrocarbon migration or lack
of adequate hydrocarbon charge to sufficiently charge the structures in the area. From the results of the well indicate that the postulated Ene
source kitchen of Coastal, does not appear to be present. The anticipated source rock for this area is believed to be the Pucar as it is in the
Maquia field.

Table 1: Mashansha 1X well data

The Mashansha structure is a N/S trending four-way dip closure located in the NE portion of Block 35. It presents two culminations with the
northern one extending into Block 34.
The Mashansha 1X well was a proposed basement test to a PTD of 2,500m to test the south culmination of the Mashansha structure which had
a mapped vertical relief of 70-60m within the objective Paleozoic and Cretaceous sections. Primary objectives for the well were the
Carboniferous Ambo and the Green Sandstone, the basal Tarma Group unit, and a secondary objective was within the sandstones of the lower
Chonta Formation. The expected source rocks were to be from shales of the Ambo Group, the source of the gas/condensate in the Camisea
area to the southwest, the Devonian Cabanillas and late Permian age Ene Formation. The objectives were found over 100m deeper and the
Basement some 370m deeper than in the prognosis. A thin Ambo section overlies Basement and the Cabanillas is absent.
PARSEP stratigraphic and seismic interpretations are shown in accompanying Figures 2,3 and 4. Based on regional correlations the Mainique
or Ene Formations is absent in the well, and a thin Agua Caliente section is found overlying the Copacabana Formation, which is supported
seismically (Figure 4). The PARSEP generated TWT map on the Base Cretaceous (Figure 3) shows that the well was not drilled on the
structural culmination in time which is located to the south, and that the well was located just inside the last closing contour. The well,
however, was drilled on a depth conversion, which indicated the well was drilled near the structural crest of the feature (Personal Comm.
Burlington Resources). Significant hydrocarbon shows within the Paleozoic section of this well indicate that hydrocarbons have been
generated in the area and migrated through the section. Just to the east of the well, there is an interpreted north trending Lower Cretaceous
channel (Section 5.0 this report) that is in lateral communication with the upper Paleozoic section. This being the case, there may not have
been a lateral seal for the section penetrated at the Mashansha location.

Pagoreni is the latest in a series of hanging wall closures drilled along the northwest trending Camisea fold and thrust belt of the southern
Maraon Basin. The structure is located to the NW of the world-class gas/condensate discoveries San Martin and Cashiriari and to the SE of a
much smaller gas/condensate discovery, Mipaya, all of which were drilled by Shell in the 1980s. Hydrocarbons for all these accumulations
are most likely derived from coaly shales of the Ambo Group.

The Pagoreni 1X well was drilled 15 km to the NW of the San Martin 1X well to test the hydrocarbon potential of the Cretaceous and Permian
targets in Block 75. The well represented the culmination of a second exploration campaign in the area by Shell. This followed the drilling of
the appraisal wells in San Martin and Cashiriari in Block 88-B in an attempt to establish commerciality in the Camisea area. The Pagoreni well
was programmed to drill directionally with an inclination of 55, which represented a horizontal displacement of 2472m to a PTD of near
4000m in the upper Copacabana Group. The primary hydrocarbon targets were the Agua Caliente (Basal Chonta Sand and Upper Nia) and
Lower Nia Formations and the secondary targets were the Vivian and Ene Formations and the Lower Chonta sands. The well drilled all and
tested successfully most of the primary targets. The main objective Lower Nia found exceptionally well developed 150m of eolian sands
(compared to the 35 and 50m drilled in San Martin and Cashiriari, Appendixes 11 and 12). Tests were conducted in the Lower Nia and Agua
Caliente Formations, which resulted in the addition of substantial gas and condensate proven reserves to the greater Camisea Area. Reserves DST
estimates for the well are 3.2 TCFG, GIP as assessed by Shell.

Table 1: Panguana 1X well data

The operators interpretation is that the Panguana Anticline is a WNW/ESE trending anticline extending 13 km in length and 4 km wide on the SE
corner of Block 82. It is described as having three-way dip closure and one-way normal fault closure with the anticline being bounded to the NE
by a NW/SE trending normal fault whose throw across the fault is sufficient to seal an 80m HC column by juxtaposed shales. The mapping done
by PARSEP (Figure 3) does show that the Panguana well was drilled on a closed structure but one of limited areal extent and one bounded by
faults of reverse throw (Figure 4).
The well location is located updip from the Camisea fields, an area partially occupied by the Tertiary foredeep basin where thermal modeling
suggests the presence of mature source rocks of various Paleozoic ages and kitchen areas. Available seismic does not define major faulting to
prevent hydrocarbons migration from these kitchens, where Basin Modeling indicates current generation and migration. The shows encountered
during the evaluation of this well would support this concept.
The Panguana 1X well was programmed to a TD of 2500m or to top of Basement, to test the Cretaceous Vivian and Oriente Group (including
Agua Caliente and Cushabatay Formations) as primary objectives and the Tarma Group as a secondary objective. Potential reservoirs in the
Tarma/Copacabana Group were, the basal Green Sandstone, and porous dolomitic zones and possible additional sand and karsted intervals within
the Copacabana sequence.
The well found the primary objectives Chonta and Agua Caliente and 30m of Lower Vivian sands with fair to good development. The Vivian and
Agua Caliente Formations were found 190 and 85m deeper, and the Copacabana and base of Tarma, 105 and 120m shallower than prognosis. The
well was TDd at 2750m in Devonian, possibly Cabanillas Formation. No Cushabatay or Raya Formations were present in the well. PARSEP
interprets the Cushabatay and Raya wedges to onlap to the W/NW of the Panguana location and the upper Agua Caliente sands are found resting
directly over Copacabana. The thin section assigned by the operator to Ene/Mainique is considered as part of the Agua Caliente Formation. The
Copacabana section is thin in this well as a result of erosional thinning beneath the Base Cretaceous unconformity. The pre-Ambo section is
generally a thick sequence of coarse clastics that has tentatively been interpreted to be of Devonian age that are often referred to as Ananea in the
southern Ucayali Basin. It may also include older sediments as well.
Minor oil and gas shows were encountered in the Cretaceous and Paleozoic objectives. Slight amounts of gas and very light API oil were
recovered only from the Green Sandstone in a series of open hole Selective Formation Tests taken in the Cretaceous and Paleozoic section.
Porosities often exceeded 25% and permeabilities were found in the range of 1300-3500 mD in SWCs through the Agua Caliente section. The
Green Sandstone and Ambo from SWC analysis were found to have porosities as high as 17% with permeabilities in the range of 3-140 mD in the
Green Sandstone and Ambo. Evaluation of well results concluded lack of commercial hydrocarbons in Panguana.

Rashaya Sur is one of four independent culminations along the N/S trending Pisqui/Santa Ana structural alignment that extends 75 km. in
the NE corner of ex-Block 79. Rashaya Sur is an elongated 7 by 3 km. anticline with a steep eastern flank bordered by a late Andean-aged,
high angle thrust fault. This fault appears to be one of several that form a series of en echelon structures (Figure 3) along the overall
structural trend. To the west of the well (Figure 5) a spectacular normal fault with over 1.0 msec of throw can be seen. The general
orientation of this older fault system is in SW to NE and in general have not experienced much reactivation during the latest Andean
orogeny. Typically in the area of Rashaya Sur they act as transfer faults between en echelon fault sets.

CUSHABATAY

The well objective was to evaluate the Cushabatay Formation and to drill 173m into an interpreted possible Pucar section to a PTD of
3,500m. The secondary objective were the sandstones of the Raya Formation. Rashaya Sur 1X found all programmed objectives some
80m deeper than prognoisis and the well was TDd in Paleozoic, identified as Cabanillas by PanEnergy (1999B). Slight oil shows and
continuous gas shows (C1-C5) were detected in the Raya, Cushabatay and Pumayacu Formations in unflushed reservoirs which
encouraged well completion. The three DSTs did not flow fluids to surface, but the recovery by reversing out was salt water of 42,00
ppm Cl and with only a little oil which was seen in the last test. Probably the extensive gas shows represent residual gas in unflushed
Raya, Cushabatay and Pumayacu. The section above Raya is flushed as seen in the SP (Figure 2).

The San Alejandro structure is one of three culminations on the San Alejandro NNW/SSE trending structural alignment that is bordered by a thrust
fault along its eastern flank (Figure 3 and 4). The San Alejandro alignment plunges to the NW and outcrops to the SE in the NW Shira Mountains
where an oil seep is present. The shallow Cretaceous objectives are not coincidental with the deeper Paleozoic objectives over the Structure. The
well was drilled with the Cretaceous section being targeted as the principal objective. Major risks involved, timing of structuration and meteoric
flushing.

San Alejandro 1X well was programmed originally to test Cretaceous (main), Pucar and Ene reservoirs near the crest of the San Alejandro central
culmination, to a PTD of 2978m. The well encountered continuous gas shows (C1-C5) from 2700m to TD in unflushed intervals in the lower
Sarayaquillo, Pucar (Condorsinga and Aramachay) and Copacabana (Figure 2). Similar gas shows with oil fluorescence were present in lower
Raya in a section protected from flushing (DST 2). Slight gas shows were recorded from Chonta, Raya, Cushabatay and upper Sarayaquillo down
to 2350m, in a section with pronounced fresh water flushing. Testing proved a porous tight upper Condorsinga Formation and a non-commercial oil
accumulation in the lower Raya, and the RFTs indicated fresh and salt-water gradients in the upper and lower Cushabatay, respectively. During
abandonment procedures, the casing collapsed and the well was abandoned without the possibility of a future re-entry.
Post-well studies provided positive identification of the Aramachay (Geochemical biomarkers) and Copacabana (fusulinids in thin sections)
Formations, and a correlation between the oil recovered from the lower Raya oil back to a Pucar source rock.

The San Alejandro 1X well drilled a Cretaceous culmination near its crest and the flank of a deeper Paleozoic culmination (Figure 3 and 4). The
main reservoir objectives were water-bearing and/or flushed by meteoric waters. Residual gas or gas being generated presently was encountered in
the structure. The test in Raya proved the presence of oil generation, migration and entrapment in stratigraphic traps that were protected from both
regional flushing and deep burial that would have cracked the oil into gas.

PARSEP was unable to re-interpret the Shahuinto area due to the lack of available SEGY digital seismic (Figure 5). As interpreted by
the operator Murphy/Pangea Shahuinto is a well defined seismic prospect in ex-block 71 located 240 km N of the giant Camisea gas
condensate fields and 180 km SE of Agua Caliente oil field. The structure is an elongated N/S trending asymmetric anticline bounded
on the steep eastern flank by an early Andean age high angle thrust fault (Figures 3 and 4). The size of the structure is 42 by 4 km
(36,100 acres) with fault closure at the base Cretaceous the vertical closure is 230m). The well itself was drilled within a much
smaller four-way dip closure in the northern half of the much larger fault closure as shown in Figure 3. The primary objectives for the
well were the Cretaceous Oriente Formations (basically Agua Caliente) and Paleozoic Tarma/Copacabana with secondary targets in
the Vivian, Chonta and Ambo Formations, to a PTD of 2,400 m in Basement.

From the seismic line presented in Figure 4, the Shahuinto structure appears to be the result of a graben that was inverted during the
late Andean orogeny as the pre-Cretaceous to Basement section on the hanging wall side is considerably thicker than the footwall side.
Despite this, all the Sarayaquillo, Ene and the upper Copacabana were truncated by the Base Cretaceous unconformity.
The well drilled the expected formation tops of the Vivian, Copacabana and Basement levels at 24, 55 and 226 m respectively
shallower than in the prognosis. A thin siliciclastic unit overlying Copacabana was interpreted to represent the basal Ene Formation
although it is most likely an interbed within the Copacabana Group as the Copacabana has been erosionally thinned. Poor oil and gas
shows were found only in the Paleozoic. The Cretaceous section in its entirety was found wet. The well was plugged and abandoned
without testing. The young age of the structure, which probably postdated migration, is believed to be one of the principal reasons for
the lack of success of this well.

Cashiriari is an E/W asymmetric hanging wall structure of Andean origin extending 30 by 5 km essentially parallel and to the south of the San Martin Anticline,
a world-class gas/condensate discovery completed by Shell in 1984 in the south Ucayali Basin. Hydrocarbons are likely derived from coaly shales of the
Paleozoic Ambo Group.

The Cashiriari 1X well was located near the crest of the structure to test the productive hydrocarbon section found by the San Martin 1X and Segakiato 1X, the
discovery and appraisal well respectively of the San Martin accumulation. The primary objectives for the Cashiriari well were the Agua Caliente and Lower Nia
Kaatsirinkari Formations and the secondary objectives, the Vivian, Ene and Copacabana Formations, and to test a potential oil rim of the objectives. The well
found Agua Caliente some 250m deeper than prognosis and a Permian section that had stratigraphic variations relative to the San Martin 1X well. The well was
sidetracked from 2285m after the DP got stuck at 2505m in the Shinai and subsequently drilling continued to TD in the upper Copacabana.

An extensive hydrocarbon column was tested partially by 3-cased whole Production Tests, in the Noi Sandstone Member, in the top of Agua Caliente Formation
and in the Vivian Lower Sand. These tests, shown in the accompanying Table and Figure, also proved a world-class gas/condensate discovery with potential
production in excess of 60 MMCFGD and 27-32 bbl/MMSCF. Untested Potential Productive sands included intervals in lower Ene Sandstone, Noi, all Lower

Reserve calculation for the field amounted to GIIP 9.7 TCFG (revised in 1998 with early results of Shell appraisal drilling) and liquids IIP 434 MMSTB with
recoverable reserves of 260 MMSTB. DeGolyer and MacNaughton (1998) confirmed 5.44 and 3.45 TCFG of Proved and Probable/Possible gas reserves.

A detailed post-well petrophysical evaluation of the Cretaceous and Permian interval was performed using good quality logs by Shell, 1987. All intervals were
found to be gas bearing (compare Neutron and Density logs in accompanying figure) totaling 258m of net gas sands with porosities between 8 and 20% and
hydrocarbon saturations up to 94%. Average values are presented in the accompanying Table 1. The Vivian and Agua Caliente/Lower Nia constitute the main
reservoirs, and the Noi and Ene Sandstone Members the secondary reservoirs. RFT pressure evaluation defines two reservoir systems; in the Vivian (GDT
1698m TVDss with mean and potential gas columns of 450 and 600m, respectively), and; in the Lower Chonta/Agua Caliente/Lower Nia/Noi Sandstone/Ene
Sandstone (FWL at 2060 m TVDss with a gas column of 200+ m), with gradients of 0.078 and 0.087 psi/ft for the upper and lower systems respectively. The
gas composition for the Vivian and Lower Cretacesous/Permian systems would indicate a common origin for both hydrocarbon columns. Lower Tertiary and
Chonta shales provide excellent seals, to the reservoirs whereas the thick Shinai mudstone reveal the extend of reservoir fracturing and/or faulting.
The Appraisal well, Armihuari 1X was drilled and found the same gas bearing objectives as the Cashiriari 1X well some 300m deeper.
