(editor), Proceedings of Geofluids IV78-79 (2003)227-230The petroleum system of the subduction zone of Costa Rica was examined in a numerical basin modelling study. Three models with varying subduction velocities (30, 60, 90 mm/year) were calculated. The calculated temperature distribution shows that the temperature field is heavily disturbed in all models. The amount of subducted organic carbon is high due to the high-subduction velocity. Migration of oil and gas towards the sea floor does not occur due to the low migration velocities.completedEconomic geology, geology of energy sourcesSolid-earth geophysicsactive marginscarbonCentral Americacontinental marginCosta RicaEast Pacificgeophysical methodsgeophysical profilesgeophysical surveysLeg 170Middle America TrenchNorth PacificNortheast Pacificnumerical modelsOcean Drilling ProgramODP Site 1039ODP Site 1040ODP Site 1041ODP Site 1042offshoreorganic carbonPacific Oceanpetroleumplate tectonicsseismic methodsseismic profilessubduction zonessurveystemperaturetwo-dimensional modelsurn:org.iodp:exp:170urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:170:site:1039urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:170urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:170:site:1040urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:170urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:170:site:1041urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:170urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:170:site:1042urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:170urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-86.0000-83.30008.000010.0000application/x-unknown-media-typeunknownSEDIS Publication Catalogueana.macario@awi.dehttp://sedis.iodp.org/pub-catalogue/informationpointOfContacthttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=MiamiImageURL&_imagekey=B77C6-4B0FVKG-BM-F&_cdi=14570&_user=10&_pii=B012227430X004657&_check=y&_origin=article&_zone=related_ref_hover&_coverDate=11%2F12%2F2003&view=c&wchp=dGLbVlz-zSkWA&md5=3cc6c0d6fb06c8504653e7bacce84bdc&ie=/sdarticle.pdfdownload
