Adana Basin is located in southern Turkey and is a Neogene Basin ([[:file:M106Ch13Fig11.jpg|Figure 4]]). The basin is bordered by the Misis-Andirin strike-slip fault zone that forms the boundary between the Arabian and Anatolian plates to the east,<ref name=Gokcen_1967>Gökçen, L.

Late Cretaceous ophiolites constitute a significant component of the eastern Mediterranean region and tectonically overlie Mesozoic platform carbonates and Paleozoic rocks of the Tauride Belt (Şengör and Yilmaz, 1981; Dilek and Moores, 1990; Dilek et al., 1999). Continued subduction of the Neo-Tethyan Ocean floor following the emplacement of ophiolites resulted in the terminal closure and amalgamation of the bounding continental fragments and termination of marine deposition by Late Eocene (Şengör and Yilmaz, 1981; Clark and Robertson, 2002; Kelling et al., 2005). The Adana Basin is located on the southern flank of the Taurus Mountains. Therefore, the Adana Basin has a complex basement structure and stratigraphy, and the nature and relations of all the basement units have not been fully resolved. Wells drilled in the basin have penetrated several units that are not exposed within or on the margins of the basin.
