BG GROUP

Integrated Stratigraphic-Sedimentologic-Petrologic Study of the Clastic Rift Sections of Santos and Campos Basins, Eastern Brazil

Objectives

• Integrated interpretation of the rift section of the CamposBasin, aiming at:

- Stratigraphic and tectonic evolution;

- Depositional controls, sedimentological processes;

- Depositional and diagenetic constituents;

- Diagenetic controls and history;

- Depositional integrated model and evolutionary history;

- Role of the depositional evolution on the petroleumsystem.

• Extension of the model to the Santos Basin

TIME 6:Continuing deposition in the half-graben during the LowTectonic Activity System Tract. Shallow-wateraccumulation of bivalve banks and stevensite ooids in the flexural margin. Erosion of older units in the flexuralmargin. Continuous erosion of the uplifted footwall alongthe border fault, and deposition of the border-faultdeposits. Re-sedimented deposits in the troughs.

POLVO Project

INTEGRATED ANALYSIS OF THE UPPER CRETACEOUS

SANDSTONES OF THE POLVO FIELD AREA, CAMPOS BASIN

Characteristics of the Polvo Project

Main Goals of the PolvoProject:

Increase the knowledge of Maersk about the Upper Cretaceous sandstones of the Polvo and surrounding

areas (Peregrino)

Based on a Integrated Study:•Petrography•Sedimentology•Stratigraphy•Seismic•Biostratigraphy

Petrographic analysis

Main reservoirs in the Peregrino Field area:

Dominantly coarse to medium-grained, locally conglomeratic,

porous, friable sandstones, rich in feldspar grains and in plutonic

rock fragments

ENC1RJS 2340.28 ENC3RJS 2273.72

Petrographic analysis

Sandstones of the upper, unconfined interval:

Dominantly fine-grained, rich in mud intraclasts, and in glauconite

peloids

Bioturbation common

ENC2RJS 2288,15ENC1RJS 2315,325

Sedimentology – Facies Models

CH – Dominance of Gl and Gm, subordinated occurence of Sm, Smg and SlPL – Dominance of Sm and ShIL – Dominance of Sr, subordinatedoccurence of Sh and SmDL – expected Fm with subordinated Sr.

Stratigraphy

Seismic facies indicate different arrangement of depositional sub-systems, or architectural elements, along the depositional system.

Mud dominated depositsSand dominated depositsVolcanics? Intrusives?

Integrated Model

Upper Cretaceous turbidite complexes

of Campos Basin are extremely

immature, although deposited within

the Upper Cretaceous 2nd order

transgressive system (Fetter et al.

2009).

Serra do Mar uplift events were the

triggers of high-supply discharges

during a transgressive interval, creating

immature and retrograding turbidite

complexes.

Integrated Stratigraphic-Petrologic

Characterization of Sergi Formation Reservoirs

OBJECTIVES

• Integrated study of stratigraphic-sedimentologic-petrologic aspects of the fluvial-eolian reservoirs of Sergi Formation;

• Identify the influence of depositional architecture and facies on reservoir distribution, heterogeneity and diagenetic evolution;

• Enhance the recovery of hydrocarbons from mature oilfields.

StratigraphicFramework

Three depositional sequences limited by regional unconformities:

Constituted by different facies associations:

Sequence I – fluvial - eolian -lacustrine

Sequence II – fluvial braided

Sequence III – fluvial - eolian

Stratigraphic detail – Sequence I

Stratigraphic detail – Sequence I
