STRATIGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE ALAGOAS STAGE LOWER CRETACEOUS: ARARIPE, TUCANO/JATOBA, PARNABA AND SANFRANCISCANA BASINS

Focus on the most important outcrops of the Brazilian Alagoas Stage (~ Aptian), an important unity to the comprehension of the rift-drifte transition in Brazilian coastal basins. Facies studies, definition of key-horizons and depositional sequences, correlation of sections etc.

UNESPetro: Present Research Projects

USING QUANTITATIVE GEOPHYSICAL METHODS TO CHARACTERIZE CARBONATE PETROLEUM RESERVOIRS

Definition of the architecture and the tridimensional distribution of carbonate petroleum reservoirs combining seismic and well data with visualization methods. Seismic attributes, neural network, and seismic inversion (acoustic impedance) are going to be apllied.

UNESPetro: Present Research Projects

ENVIRONMENTAL OIL SPILL SENSITIVITY ATLAS FOR THE SO PAULO LITTORAL

The So Paulo coastal zone is in connection with the Santos Basin. Its littoral is being divided in several areas. For each one, oil spill sensitivity index values are being calculated and the segments ranked acccording to degrees of sensitivity. The ranking is shown in maps. The study is strategic in terms of protection for the ecosystems.
