This book assesses the use of various non-seismic and non-conventional oil and gas exploration
methods in Cuba. In addition to discussing the benefits of these methods the book demonstrates
how they can be combined with geological data and conventional methods leading to a better
evaluation of prospects and exploration risks. The authors describe how potential new
gaso-petroleum sites in the Pina-Ceballos and Sancti Spiritus regions can be effectively
mapped. The geophysical-geochemical exploration techniques combined in the Redox Complex method
are used to identify and evaluate these sites. Areas of interest are mapped based on the
presence of a combination of indicator anomalies mainly derived using gravimetric
aeromagnetic and airborne gamma spectrometry. The geochemical study concentrates on two
petroleum-rich regions one in northern and one in southern Cuba. The scope also includes the
seas to the south of Cuba which are studied with non-seismic exploration tools such as the
Digital Elevation Model which employs morphotectonic regionalization.
