Brasil - Brasil '99/2000/2001
This line is from the TGS-Nopec and Schlumberger Brasil '99/2000/2001 non-exclusive seismic survey offshore Brasil. The survey, the largest of its kind in the World, includes over 200,000 line kilometers of seismic, gravity and magnetic data and covers the primary deep water sedimentary basins in south-east and northern offshore Brasil.
The line shows a remarkable depth image of salt cored ridges and intervening mini-basins overlying a thick sub-salt section typical of the structure of the outer Santos Basin in southern Brasil. To date this section has not been drilled and for many years it was not possible to demonstrate the presence of a synrift section with older seismic data. The modern data processed through pre-stack depth migration has allowed us to image reflectors below the salt for the first time. These reflectors provide the first real evidence for a time equivalent synrift section such as the Lagoa- Feia Formation as found in the Campos Basin which contains organic-rich lacastrine shales that are world-class source rocks.
