Excerpt from The Mining Magazine, Vol. 27: From July to December, 1922 Panama - Exploration for Oil has been largely confined in this country to the pro vince of Chiriqui, wherein some likely Tertiary deposits outcrop. The most favour able areas lie in the extreme western part Of the state, with possibilities in the Cretaceous rocks Of the Azuero peninsula. East Of the Panama Canal, practically nothing is known of the geology until Colombian territory is reached, where the Miocene rocks bordering the Gulf of Uraba are petroliferous, these extending into Panama itself. The geographical trend of Panama is e.-w., and the structural features, as illustrated by the Sierra de Chiriqui and the Sierra de Veragua, conform to this direction. West indian islands - Attention is next directed to those of the West Indian Islands Situated on the intermediate structural line (with its subsidiary branches) as previously described. Reference to the map (fig. 1) will Show that some comparatively large islands are comprised within this group, especially Cuba, Haiti, and Jamaica. It will be convenient to discuss these geographically from west to east, following the trend of the fold-arc. Fortunately considerably more is known of the detailed geology of these islands than in the case of Central America, so that forecasting achieves a correspondingly greater degree of accuracy.
