Abstract
well
as
subsidence processes. Subsidence appears to depend on a small
number of mechanisms--tectonics, heat flow and gravity. Taking
into account the geodynamic context in which these processes
develop, it is possible to compile a classification of subsidence
types
which is distinct from the usual classifications in terms
of basins. The type of subsidence influences the deposition rate,
which determines both the potential and the habitat of petroleum.
Moreover existing statistics show that the number of
"giant" fields, or the potential of a petroleum
province largely depend on the
types
of subsidence and subsequent
tectonic processes.
