『Abstract
Most present-day petroliferous basins are localized in one of
the five global oil and gas accumulation belts confined to continent-ocean
transition zones that existed in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. The
Gondwana belt is formed by basins developed on continental margins
of the Indian Ocean and South Atlantic (Konyukhov, 2009). All
of them are riftogenic in nature and were formed during either
the Late Paleozoic (basins on continental margins of the Indian
Ocean) or the Late Mesozoic (basins in peripheral zones of the
South Atlantic). During the most part of geological history, they
were located in zones dominated by the humid climate, which determined
the prevalent role of terrigenous rocks in their sedimentary cover.』
