Report summary

The Potiguar Basin is one of the most prolific Brazilian sedimentary basins. Located in the equatorial margin of Brazil, it comprises almost 94,043 km² along the offshore and onshore areas. The Ceará Basin lies on the offshore part of the Brazilian Equatorial Atlantic margin and spans over an area of 62,983 km2 between the Tutóia and Fortaleza highs. The application of high resolution geochemistry techniques on oil and rock samples enabled the differentiation and mapping of all oil families and their corresponding source rocks as well as the assessment of the definition of their geographical distribution. 3D petroleum system modelling, calibrated with geological and geochemical data, was performed at a regional scale. BPS built a regional model utilizing the of seismic lines available and it was built with structural maps that encompass the whole sedimentary section.
