Popis:	Passive-margin sedimentary basins, despite their geologic similarities, differ substantially in their oil and gas reserves and in the distributions of these areally and in the section. Evidently, the level of hydrocarbon potential is controlled by differences in the size and history of the zone of petroleum generation. This conclusion was originally drawn from historical methods applied to various basins. To refine the conclusions and define the significance of the individual factors controlling hydrocarbon generation, it is of interest to examine the petroleum potential for a fairly extensive system. Here the authors consider the Morocco basin, in the passive-margin basin system of the East Atlantic, which has very scanty oil and gas reserves. The proven reserves at the start of 1978 were only 20.55 million metric tons of oil and 1.2 billion m/sup 3/ of gas. 16 references.
