In recent years, the Brazilian Equatorial Margin has drawn attention due to its similarity to areas with new hydrocarbon discoveries in the African conjugated margin, and in French Guiana. However, studies on the tectonic regimes associated with transform margins and their evolution, structures, and petroleum potential are still lacking due to the geological complexity of this region. To address this knowledge ...
An organic geochemical investigation combined with sequence stratigraphy was performed in the Ceara´ Basin, an offshore basin located in Northeastern Brazil. The information available from 30 well logs (gamma-ray, resistivity, density), besides geochemical (TOC, and pyrolysis indexes) and isotopic (δ13C) data, aided the preparation of a dataset for this study. The application of sequence-stratigraphic methods h...
The Brazilian equatorial margin (BEM) evolved in response to transform motion between Brazil and Africa. In 2012, Petrobras drilled the Pecem well in the Mundaú subbasin (Ceará Basin) of the BEM to record the first deep-water oil discovery in the region. This work investigates the deep-water evolution of the Mundaú subbasin focusing on its structural and sedimentary evolution, and characterizes the petroleum sy...
