Over the last 15 months, 75 wells have been drilled in the Santos, Campos and Espírito Santo basins, including 13 exploration wells. The drilling of new exploration wells can be seen as the rebirth of exploration in the pre-salt province. During the downturn in the oil industry in 2014-2018, only
We are excited to announce we have now integrated GOR and CO2 maps into the platform, fluid properties that are essential to understanding exploration potential in offshore Brazil. When integrated with our massive geochemical and reservoir datasets, they become a key tool in validating petroleum system evaluations and O&G expectations, especially in the areas
Beyond the mapping of our massive collection of geochemical data, our new BPSMAPS project also aims to add fundamental reservoir maps that show the distribution of the quality and presence attributes of the reservoirs along the Brazilian basins. The newest set of maps added this week includes porosity, net-to-gross and net
The assessment of source rock systems in a sedimentary basin is one of the most important tasks performed by petroleum geoscientists! With this in mind, the BPS Geodatabase has built a database with TOC and Rock-Eval pyrolysis data from more than 500 selected offshore wells, ranging from nearshore to ultra-deep
BPS has a long track record in the integration of all available data via a holistic petroleum system-related approach. In fact, this is something we pride ourselves on, constantly striving to provide our clients with the most complete picture of Brazilian petroleum systems on the market. After years of building
An important quality control step for petroleum system evaluation is to compare the fetch areas with the general framework of sedimentary basins. This is commonly achieved by creating a numerical model that simulates nature through reality checks of each petroleum system element and process. The input elements must be supported
Despite not being based on the most high-tech analytical data, our chrono-lithostratigraphic dataset is still a very powerful tool to guide petroleum system studies, especially for understanding the organization of the stratigraphic frameworks and characterizing the spatial and temporal distribution of the source-rock and reservoir sequences of the Brazilian sedimentary
Continuing the saga of utilizing Advanced Geochemistry Technology (AGT) to piece together the puzzle of oil mixture composition and confirm the origin of the deep hydrocarbon charges in the oil mixtures of the Santos and Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, this week we are taking a deeper look at Quantitative Extended Diamondoid Analysis (QEDA), Biomarker
We are excited to announce our new study using a petroleum system-based assessment methodology to revisit the eastern area of the pre-salt province due to its potential for undiscovered oil resources and probable high demand in the next ANP bidding rounds. We are confident that the industry will recover fast and
We continue to present powerful new advanced geochemical techniques in our “A Petroleum Scientist’s Best Friend” series. In Vol. I, we depicted Quantitative Diamondoid Analysis (QDA), which has revolutionized the ability to estimate oil cracking and identify complex oils derived from multiple sources charged from different depo-pods. Application of this method
