Title: Gas-Bearing Structures of Southern France

Author(s): Daniel Schneegans (2)

Abstract:

The first drilling in southern France took place in 1919 and centered on seepages in connection with complex salt domes. The attempts were unsuccessful and interest lagged until 1937 when the French Government undertook the investigation of some anticlines in the Petites Pyrenees. The discovery well penetrated a large natural-gas reservoir on July 14, 1939, and since that time the geological and geophysical exploration of the Aquitaine Basin has been vigorously propagated. The report deals chiefly with the geology and production data of the Saint Marcet field. In addition the other exploration activities of the Government are briefly described.
