===Tectonic setting===

Super Basins are associated with rifts, passive margins, foreland and intracratonic tectonic settings. Most are Mesozoic-aged (J-K), although there are Paleozoic-age examples.<ref name=Fryklundandstark_2020 /><ref name=Sternbach_2020 /> Understanding the stratigraphy and timing of these settings help predict the localization of the petroleum system components.<ref name=Fryklundandstark_2020 /><ref name=Sternbach_2020 /> Globally, 31 basins have been identified within the super basin category so far ([[:file:GiacomoneEtAlFigure1.jpg|Figure 1]]).<ref name=Fryklundandstark_2020 /><ref name=Sternbach_2020 /> Many of them (23) are in onshore locations, such as the Permian Basin in the United States and Neuquén Basin in Argentina.<ref name=Sternbach_2020 /> However, significant offshore basins like the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea Basin are also included in this category. Based on the incremental recoverable oil (billions of barrels), super basins are grouped in regions. Leading the list is the Middle East, followed by North America, Latin America, Africa, Commonwealth of Independent States, Far East, Australasia and Europe.<ref name=Fryklundandstark_2020 />
