Abstract

Recent deep offshore drillings and detailed onshore geological studies have increased the importance of the Paleogene section of the Philippines as a possible hydrocarbon producer. Geochemistry of source rocks, shows, and production tests from this horizon indicates the generation of oil and gas. Isotopic analysis shows no correlation between the oil now being produced in reservoirs of Lower Miocene age, and the contemporaneous shale, a potential source rock, thus suggesting deeper, older sections as the possible source. In the past, exploration has been focused on Neogene reservoirs and source rocks and has resulted in very modest success. It is anticipated that the present inclination of explorationists to test the Paleogene section will lead to more definitive data and economic discoveries.
