Latvia – Petroleum Potential and Exploration Opportunities. Mini-Atlas prepared through the cooperation between the State Geological Survey of Latvia and PGS Reservoir ( Norway ).

This mini-atlas offers to the oil industry an introduction to the region presenting condensed facts on the country itself and on the Baltic basin in general. The mini-atlas has nine chapters containing relevant information on the geological history of the area, updated stratigraphy and palaeogeography, together with information on reservoirs, source rocks and hydrocarbon habitat of the region.
