Malvinas Basin

The Malvinas Basin (Spanish: Cuenca de Malvinas[1]) is a major sedimentary basin in the Argentine Shelf offshore southern Patagonia. The basin bounds to the west with the Río Chico-Dungeness High that separates it from the Magallanes Basin.[2][1] Contrary to the neighboring North Falkland Basin and Magallanes Basin Malvinas Basin is not known to have commercial hydrocarbon reserves.[3]
