Exploration History
Exploration History Petroleum exploration in the Amazonas Basin started in 1917. It was carried out by the Brazilian Geological and Mineralogical Service (SGMB) - in this time the focus was coal exploration. In 1925, the first oil and gas shows occurred near the Itaituba city. In 1953, Petrobras was created. The exploratoy efforts in Amazonas Basin can be divided into three phases: Phase 1 1953-1967 53 stratigraphic wells and 58 wildcat wells were drilled. Results: sub-commercial discoveries in the Nova Olinda reservoirs (1-NO-1, 1-NO-3 e 1-NO-4-AM) and some wells with oil/gas shows. Phase 2 1971-1990 Petrobras improved seismic method and 36 wells were drilled. Results: two discoveries: 1-LT-1-AM (Lago Tucunaré) and 1-ICA-1-AM (Igarapé Cuia). Phase 3 Since 1999 After the creation of the ANP, in 1999, Petrobras discovered gas in the well 1-RUT-1-AM which resulted in the fields nowadays under development, Azulão and Japiim.

Thermal Maturity Modified from Gonzaga et al., 2000 Maturity The Ro data show that thermal evolution is mainly controlled by the burial history in the trough area Thermal effect of igneous intrusions played an important role only where dykes and sills are hosted on source rock The intrusions effect is dominant in the eastern Amazonas Basin %Ro < 0.6 0.6 < %Ro < 1.35 %Ro < 1.35 %Ro > 1.35

Final Remarks
Final Remarks The gas pipeline Urucu-Coari-Manaus is expected to start operation in September, 2009. The Manaus (capital of the Amazon State) electricity demand grows about 8% a year, mainly because of the industrial sector, which is responsible for 43% of this necessity. In 2006, a treaty was signed between Eletrobrás, Eletronorte, Manaus Energy and Cigás to support new thermoelectric power plants and change the energy matrix from oil to natural gas.
Final Remarks 62% of the wells already drilled in the basin show evidences of oil and/or gas. The offered blocks are near Japiim and Azulão gas fields. The main petroleum system Barreirinha - Nova Olinda is similar to Solimões Basin (Urucu Complex). There are 11 possible exploratory opportunities already mapped in the Nova Olinda play.
Final Remarks Considering the 11 opportunities already mapped, ANP estimates around 72 BCM of gas in the offered area
