 Conclusions
• The Yacoraite/Olmedo Petroleum system
sourced 100 MMboe in the Palmar Largo Field
area.
• How much did the Yacoraite/Olmedo Petroleum
system source in the Pirity Sub-basin?
• Basin Analysis work shows recoverable
potential for ~300 MMboe.
• Paraguay is the 7th ranked country in Fiscal
Terms, US = 44th.
