Brasil Round 4 Recôncavo Basin Paulo de Tarso Araripe Block Definition Superintendency
Location
Area: 10,200 km 2 Origin: Related to the extensional forces that acted on Gondwanaland during the Mesozoic. Represented in the southern part of the western branch of a Rift Valley system located along the current Brazilian coastal region, that preceded the separation of the South American and African plates. Limits: Generalities Separated from Tucano Basin to the N and NW by the Aporá High and to the S, from the Camamu Basin by the Barra Fault. Bounded to the E by the Salvador Fault.

Semi-Mature Stage of Exploration! (Andrade, 1989)
BACIA DO RECÔNCAVO Andrade s opinions in 1988 - The Recôncavo Basin is in a semi-mature stage of exploration - There are several possibilities for oil & gas in specific areas of the basin - New discoveries depends on increased quality of seismic in less drilled areas - Search for mixed, stratigraphic and nonconventional traps shall be considered - Enhance the use of new tecnologies and new exploratory concepts
BACIA DO RECÔNCAVO The example of Recôncavo EXPLORATION HISTORY Wells drilled (1988-2001): 873 Wells completed (oil and gas - 2000): 108 Total oil production (1988-2000):37.621 MM m 3 Proved reserves (2000):33.350 MM m 3 Reserves incorporated between 1988-2000: 15.407 MM m 3
BACIA DO RECÔNCAVO The example of TEXAS Halbouty s opinions in 1988 - Gulf Coast Region has nt reached yet its full potential - There are several untested possibilities for oil & gas - Total of wells drilled, only in TX & LA, surpasses 820,000 (1/km 2 ) - New discoveries depend principally on increased seismic activities, exploratory drilling and new geologic concepts
The example of TEXAS EXPLORATION HISTORY Wells drilled (1988-2001): 140,488 Wells completed (oil and gas - 2000): 114,265 Total oil production (1988-2000): 7.141 BB bbl Proved reserves (2000): 5.273 BB bbl Reserves incorporated (2000): 335 MM bbl Source: Railroad Comission
