EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This study comprises a detailed quantitative petroleum system analysis of the Potiguar
Basin based on selected geological, geophysical and high resolution geochemical
information. High-resolution geochemical technology methods were applied to 45 selected
oil samples spanning all the oil types identified in the Potiguar basin and their putative
source rocks selected from 17 wells. The objective of this study is to identify and
characterize the active petroleum systems present in the Potiguar Basin. One compositional
2D modeling was performed along a regional cross section in the offshore region in order to
integrate the geochemical data with the geologic evolution of the area.

The source rocks of the lacustrine Pendência and Alagamar, and marine Alagamar Formations
have only been documented in few wells, although lacustrine and marine oils have been
identified in the onshore and offshore areas of the Potiguar Basin. The drilling of organic-rich
sections of these formations has been restricted to the onshore and proximal shelf areas,
where they were found to be exposed to low/ medium thermal stress. As a result, the active
source rocks within the offshore area of the basin are not well understood. Nevertheless, the
occurrence of organic-rich facies in onshore and near shore areas, along with seismic and
gravimetric data, suggests the existence of a series of onshore and offshore depocenters
throughout the Potiguar Basin, with lacustrine and marine active pods for hydrocarbon
generation. The natural series and modeling data suggest that peak generation conditions
were reached at depths ranging from 1,500m to 2,000 m in the onshore area to 3,500m to
4,000 m at the offshore. At these depths, source rocks have attained peak stage of thermal
evolution to generate significant amounts of light oils and fair volumes of gas, indicating the
Potiguar Basin as an oil-prone province.

The integration of the geochemical data with geological and seismic information indicates
the presence of two main well-recognized petroleum systems in the Potiguar Basin:

• The Pendência (!) Petroleum system composed of Neocomian black shales deposited in a
pre-salt lacustrine freshwater rift-sequence from the Pendência Formation; and
• The Alagamar-Açu (!) Petroleum system, which is composed of a mixture of lacustrine
and transitional marine source rocks ranging in age from Aptian to Albo-Cenomanian.
Three distinct source rocks units are recognized in this petroleum system: (1) Upanema
Member (Lower Aptian lacustrine brackish water); (2) Camadas Ponta do Tubarão
Member (CPT-Upper Aptian marine hypersaline) and; (3) the Galinhos Member (Albo-
Cenomanian marine carbonate) of the Alagamar Formation.
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

The high resolution geochemistry data, such as biomarkers and diamondoid analyses
coupled with 2D modeling studies suggest that all the three oil types (lacustrine, marine
hypersaline and marine carbonate) of the Alagamar system are usually mixed in most of the
accumulations analyzed and therefore were grouped into a single petroleum system -
Alagamar-Açu (!). Also, in the Pescada field the oils sourced from the marine CPT and
Galinhos Members are mixed with lacustrine oils sourced from the Pendência. Variations in
oil quality within these families occur due to large differences in oil maturities,
biodegradation and mixtures between biodegraded and non-biodegraded oils from different
pulses derived sometimes from different source rock units.

The source rocks of the onshore Pendência Formation charged most of the known lacustrine
accumulations of the onshore structural traps although no giant oil field from this petroleum
system has yet been found, neither onshore or offshore in the Potiguar Basin. Small to
medium size oils accumulations filled with this oil type were found only in the Agulha and in
part of the Pescada (mixed with marine oils) oil fields (offshore) and Três Marias, Riacho da
Forquilha, Livramento, Lorena, Serraria, Poço Xavier, Brejinho, Fazenda Malaquias, Baixa do
Algodão, Fazenda Canaã, among others (onshore). The presence of pods of generation
from the Pendência system in offshore areas (see Pescada oil field in the modeling section
and Agulha field) opens up an entirely new way of looking lacustrine oil/gas generation,
migration and accumulation in offshore areas of the basin.

In contrast, the other three source rocks of the Alagamar Formation, composed of lacustrine
(Upanema Member) and marine (CPT and Galinhos Members), are mostly generating in the
offshore region. From the offshore areas they have charged more than 500 million barrels
of marine hypersaline/ transitional oils to the onshore giant Canto do Amaro oil field, and
more than 100 million barrels of oils for the offshore Ubarana oil field. Nevertheless, no
giant oil fields from the marine hypersaline/ anoxic system have yet been found in the
offshore part of the basin, but small to medium accumulations, such as Carauna, Arabaiana,
Atum and Ubarana oilfields. On the other hand, several small/ medium size accumulations
filled with this petroleum system were found in onshore oilfields such as S. Miguel, Faz. S.
João, Cajazeiras, Alto da Pedra, Redonda Profundo, Redonda, Ponta do Mel, Conceição,
Salina Cristal, Macau, Faz. Belém, Estreito de Panon, Alto do Rodrigues, Monte Alegre, Faz.
Pocinho, Palmeira, Guamaré, Macau and Lagoa do Aroeira, among others. The spatial
distribution of the generation pods of the Alagamar petroleum system in the offshore region
and the occurrence of oil accumulations in the onshore portion of the basin characterize this
petroleum system with long distance horizontal migration. Moreover, the presence of very
mature marine oils deep offshore in the Pescada-Arabaiana fields close to the pods of
generation from the marine hypersaline/ anoxic sections of the Alagamar system in opens
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

up the chance for giant marine oilfields in the offshore areas, and therefore a potential for
new exploratory frontiers areas.

The geological and geochemical data suggest that the rift (Pendência) petroleum system
must be considered a secondary exploration target, having charged only oil fields of small
size. This concept is corroborated by the fact that the accumulations of lacustrine oils,
discovered, up to now, onshore/ offshore, are not filled to the spill point. On the other hand,
marine oils from the Alagamar Formation occur throughout the basin, are considered an
overcharged system and must be considered the main exploratory target. Moreover, these
oils represent about 90% of the total recovered hydrocarbons, in the Potiguar Basin,
compared to the lacustrine types.

The cracking measurements based on diamondoids and biomarkers for selected oils suggest
that they were generated in the peak to late stage of the oil window, and present mixing of
at least two migration pulses. Therefore, the Potiguar Basin can be classified as an oil-prone
basin, onshore and in the platform area. In the deep water realm gas and light oil must be
abundant, which is also corroborated by the 2D modeling in this study.

Biodegradation and oil mixing appear to have been important processes for all Potiguar
Basin due to the presence of bimodal n-alkane distribution and high Pr/ n-C17 n-alkanes.
However, mixing of biodegraded and non-biodegraded oils occurred with almost all marine
oils resulting on relatively good final oil quality.

PETROLEUM SYSTEMS MODELING

This study also includes one quantitative model along a regional cross-section that takes
into account the main tectonic-sedimentary features the Potiguar Basin in the offshore
region. The section is located in the central offshore part of the basin and is oriented in a
SW-NE direction. The model was performed using the software package PETROMOD, which
accounts for the compositional characteristics of the generated hydrocarbons and assigns
them to specific source rocks.

The geologic section was sub-divided into 4 main structural domains: (1) a Shallow Platform
Domain, in which the basement is located at about 2000 meters; (2) a deeper portion of the
platform, in which the basement was interpreted to occur at about 4000 to 5000 meters is
referred in this report as the Deep-Platform Domain and is separated from the shallow
domain by an important strike-slip fault system called Pescada-Arabaiana; (3) the Slope
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

Domain located in the present day slope of the basin, and; (4) the Deep Basin Domain,
located at the deep-water province.

The most pronounced geological structure along this section is the Pescada-Arabaiana fault
system, which places basement rocks adjacent to sedimentary rocks by means of
normal/strike-slip displacements. The cross section also shows a series of faults occurring at
the oldest and deepest sequences only. Sedimentary sequences younger than about 80 My
are not recognized in the seismic sections as being intensively deformed by basement
tectonics. Similarly to most of the large fault systems along the equatorial margin of Brazil,
the fault system of the Pescada- Arabaiana and other systems along the cross-section were
originated as normal faults and were later reactivated during the drift phase as strike-slip
systems. No salt structures are observed in this basin.

Four source rock units were considered in the modeling of this section: (1) the thickest and
oldest unit was deposited in a lacustrine fresh/ brackish-water environment of the
Pendência Formation during the Barremian/Neocomian; (2) a thinner and younger one,
Alagamar Fm. Upanema Mb., which was deposited in a transitional/rift phase in a marine
hypersaline environment during the Aptian, (3) a third unit also of the Alagamar Formation,
CPT (Camadas Ponta do Tubarão) Member, which was deposited in an open marine
environment with carbonate influence, also during the Aptian, and ; (4) the youngest source
rock unit of the Galinhos Member of the same Alagamar Formation, which was deposited
during the Albian Cenomanian in an open marine system with carbonate influence.

The vitrinite reflectance profile throughout the section shows that all the main source rock
units are immature in the Shallow Platform Domain and become gradually mature as they
dip into the eastward domains of the Deep-Platform, Slope and Deep Basin Domains. The
transformation ratio of the source rocks follows the same trend of the vitrinite reflectance
distribution and characterizes the deepest portions of the basin as presently being in the oil
and gas windows. The Deep Platform and Slope Domains are characterized as oil prone
areas, whereas the deepest region of the Deep Basin Domain shows a gas prone region.
The present-day isotherms show a parallel geometry with respect to the seafloor and
basement morphology.

The main phases of maturation and hydrocarbon expulsion of the Pendência source rock
unit took place during the Tertiary, starting to expel hydrocarbons at about 50-40 millions of
years in the deepest portion of the Deep Platform Domain. Regarding the Alagamar
Formation source rock units the main phases of maturation and hydrocarbon expulsion
observed in the model was achieved in the last tens of millions of years. It is observed an
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

intense growth in the transformation ratio of the organic matter of all source rock units at
about 14-16 million years.

The migration characteristics observed in the model were horizontal displacements along
carrier beds of the transitional sequences and vertical displacements along fault zones,
which were assigned as migration pathways in the model. This migration patterns agrees
with the spatial distribution of pods and hydrocarbon accumulations characterized by the
high-resolution geochemistry dataset. At present day, it is observed relatively widespread
hydrocarbon saturation throughout the rift and transitional sequences. The main
hydrocarbon accumulations in the model are located in the lower sequences although some
reservoirs placed in the lower drift sequences were also saturated with hydrocarbons.

The Pescada-Arabaiana fault system places basement rocks adjacent to sedimentary rocks,
and was assigned as active conduits in the model. This spatial arrangement of basement
rocks adjacent to sedimentary rocks allows this latter to be compacted and forced to expel
porous fluids migrating upwards along the boundary between the two lithology terrains.
Characterizing this important fault system in this manner in the model made it behave as a
major controlling parameter for petroleum migration. Long distance lateral migration was
also observed in the model taking place mainly along carrier beds of the transitional
sequences (Alagamar Formation).

Considering the absence of faults in the upper portion of the drift sequences of the modeled
section the seafloor leakage of hydrocarbons to the surface of the sediments is not
predicted in the offshore area. Substantial accumulations of hydrocarbons in the offshore
region developed in the deep portions of the basin. Their composition is a variable
combination of the transitional and rift source rocks.

The main accumulations of hydrocarbons in the model are located below the potential zone
of biodegradation. The results suggest that the main phases of generation and migration of
the rift source rocks of the Pendência Formation in the slope and deep water region range
from around present-day and 50 My, whereas the lacustrine and marine source rocks of the
Alagamar Formation started generation around 20 My reaching peak generation at present
day. Despite the overmature stage of thermal evolution in the Deep Platform Domain that
province is still displaying the presence of oil (predominantly) whereas the Deep Basin
Domain shows the presence of gas.

The structural lows located in deep offshore areas of the Potiguar Basin acted as the main
depocenters for the Aptian/Albian marine hypersaline source rock systems. The 2D
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

modeling shows that this system is still active and presents variable degrees of thermal
maturity, generating liquid hydrocarbons in most parts of the basin.

In summary, five main conclusions with exploratory implications can be highlighted:

1 - The petroleum systems of the rift Pendência Formation had its critical moment during
the Lower Tertiary, and therefore it was able to charge reservoirs younger than the
Pendência Formation. The lacustrine oils are present in the southern, central and western
parts of the basin, occurring mainly onshore, and despite representing only 15-25% of the
total oil in place discovered up to now they can not be ruled out as a prolific play deep
offshore. Despite that observation derived from sampled hydrocarbons, the simulation
shows that the Pendência source rock units can represent an important source of
hydrocarbons in the offshore region. It is worth to mention that this petroleum system
represents a high-risk target for liquid hydrocarbons in the platform and deeply buried areas
where a gas-prone system would be expected.

2- The Alagamar organic-rich rocks are immature along all the onshore part of the basin
and at peak generation in most of the deeper water parts of the basin, although it has not
been recovered with a peak generation stage of generation. Therefore, it must be
considered an important petroleum system for liquid hydrocarbons in most deep and
shallow water areas of the basin. The exploratory risk will depend upon the presence of the
reservoirs and traps elements.

3-The Albian-Cenomanian system, representing the marine Galinhos Mb. source rocks of the
Alagamar formation has generated some sub-commercial liquid hydrocarbons accumulations
in the Potiguar Basin. Despite that, it can represent a significant petroleum system in the
basin since its hydrocarbon source potential is considered to be very good. It is immature
on most part of the basin, although its potential should be considered for the ultra deep
portions of the basin.

4- The most important petroleum system of the Potiguar Basin is the Alagamar system.
Although it has produced more then 90% of all the oil found up to now (predominantly the
marine hypersaline oil type), it is still relatively unexplored in the deep-water areas. The
occurrence of overcharged pods of generation in the deep-water lows suggests that giant
oilfields of this system may occur offshore. Despite the problems related to migration into
younger reservoir sections, this source rock system must be considered as the most
important source for charging deep-water turbidites in the Potiguar Basin. It is worth to
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

pinpoint the gas-prone character of all the eastern area of the basin, where liquids have
been cracked due to a very high thermal evolution stage.

5- The reservoir and trap geometry represent the highest risk parameters for exploratory
projects in this basin. Most of the known hydrocarbon accumulations in this basin occur in
structural traps. As this study characterizes this basin as a overcharged one, the
exploratory effort in the offshore portion of the Potiguar Basin should concentrate efforts in
the identification and characterization of potential reservoirs and subtle traps.

1. INTRODUCTION

Significant volumes of petroleum have been found in the Potiguar Basin, making it the
second largest oil producing basin in Brazil, just after the Campos Basin. Most of the oil in
the basin has been discovered in the Açu Formation (Albian-Turonian), which also contains
an important freshwater aquifer. Geochemical correlations have shown that oils
accumulated in the Açu sandstones were generated in marine-hypersaline and lacustrine
intervals of the Aptian-Albian Alagamar Formation (Rodrigues et al., 1983; Mello et al.,
1988; Santos Neto et al., 1990; Trindade et al., 1992). The spatial relationship between
these oil accumulations and the occurrence of immature source rocks in the onshore and
near shore wells suggests long-distance lateral migration from deep offshore pods of
effective source rocks (Santos Neto et al., 1990). Heterogeneities in oil compositions reveal
trends related to the amount of source mixing, which in turn, reflect the timing of both oil
generation and migration (Trindade et al., 1992).

Souza et al. (1983) studied the secondary migration in the Potiguar Basin using oil potential
maps, an approach developed by Hubbert (1953) and Dahlberg (1982). These maps were
made from a combination of water potential maps and structural maps for the top of the
Açu Formation.
Over the last years, an evolution has taken place in the understanding of the petroleum
systems of the Potiguar Basin, allowing their occurrence to be accurately predicted, their
effectiveness to be modeled, and the resulting petroleum accumulations to be explained.
Simultaneous developments in the fields of compositional 2D modeling and high resolution
geochemistry have established new standards of exploration technology. When these two
technologies are joined they become even more powerful, given the sophisticated
capabilities to characterize the fluids, source rocks and the correlation with the geologic
processes. High-resolution geochemistry technology (HRGT) is recognized as one of the
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

most effective tools to characterize petroleum in terms of identification of oil types, source
rock characteristics, thermal evolution, migration pathways and overall geologic history.

The petroleum system concept requires a shift in emphasis from rock to the fluid systems.
It also defines the relationship between geologic elements and processes in time and space,
aiming to understand the driving forces behind the distribution of hydrocarbon provinces.
This study demonstrates the central role of new and emerging compositional 2D-modeling
and HRGT techniques in defining petroleum systems in mature and frontier areas and
identifying future exploration opportunities. The petroleum system approach is a powerful
tool that enables the exploration geologist to target the most prospective oil and gas plays,
reducing significantly the petroleum exploration risk.

The application of HRGT in oils and condensates recovered in the basin allowed the
determination of the following characteristics:

• Number of discrete fluid types and their spatial distribution

• Stratigraphic and spatial distribution of source rock systems
• Age and depositional environments of source rocks(s)
• Type, number and overlaps of petroleum systems
• Thermal evolution of oil, gas and source rocks
• Past and present processes that affect oil and gas quality

The oil and condensate data were collected and evaluated regarding the following
parameters:

• Whole oil GC, API Gravity, and 13C

• Saturate Biomarker Distributions
• Aromatic Biomarker Distributions
• GC-MS-MS for C30 Steranes (marine indicator)
• Diamondoids

2. EXPLORATORY HISTORY

Exploration activity in the Potiguar Basin started in the early 70’s and experienced two
remarkable increments, at the end of the 70’s on offshore areas with the discovery of the
Ubarana and Agulha fields. During the 80’s, the Potiguar Basin was the second most
important petroliferous province of Brazil, as a consequence of the discovery of Mossoró and
the giant Canto do Amaro fields with large volumes of hydrocarbons. During the 90’s
several small oil fields were discovered offshore (Pescada and Arabaiana oilfields) and
onshore. Until recently, more than 4000 wells were drilled in the Potiguar Basin (92%
onshore) and about 115.000 km of seismic lines were registered (78% offshore). It is
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

important of mentioning that no significant oil or gas accumulations were found in the last
ten years.

Detailed interpretation of well and seismic data allowed a better definition of the
lithostratigraphic units of the basin, since the outcrops exposures only encompasses the
Açu, Jandaíra, Tibau and Barreiras formations. The stratigraphic framework adopted here is
an update of the diagrams developed by Souza (1982) and Lima Neto (1989).

Recently, several additional speculative 2-D and 3-D surveys have been acquired and are in
the process of being processed in the deepwater areas of the basin. In addition to seismic
data, piston core geochemical data, satellite imagery data, gravity and magnetic data have
also been collected.

3. REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The Potiguar Basin is the most Northeastern of the Brazilian marginal basins. It covers an
area of about 119,295 km2, being approximately 33,200 km2 onshore and 86,065 km2
offshore. The Potiguar Basin was filled with approximately 6000m of sediments and is
limited to the west by the Fortaleza High, which separates it from the Ceará Basin, to the
east by the Touros High, and to the south by basement outcrop. To the north and to east it
extends to the edge of the continental shelf. Nowadays, it is the second most productive
basin in Brazil (with 120.000 bbl/day) and with estimated reserves of 850 million barrels oil
(Figure 1).

The basin is filled with sediments deposited during the rift, transitional and drifts sequences.
The rift section comprises the Neocomian/Early Aptian fluvial-deltaic and lacustrine
sediments of the Pendência and Pescada formations (see schematic cross-section, Figure 2)
and stratigraphic chart (Figure 3). The transitional sequence corresponds to the Alagamar
Formation (Aptian/Early Albian), which is composed of the fluvial-deltaic sandstones, and
lacustrine shales of the Upanema Member, marine hypersaline limestones and shales of the
Camadas Ponta do Tubarão (CPT) Member, and marine marls and shales of the Galinhos
Member (Araripe & Feijó, 1994). The drift section encompasses an Albian/Campanian
transgressive sequence and a Maastrichtian/Tertiary regressive sequence. The former
comprises the Açu (fluvial sandstones), Ponta do Mel (limestones), Jandaíra (limestones),
and Quebradas (marine sandstones and shales) formations, whereas the later embraces the
Tibau (sandstones) and Guamaré (limestones) formations. The marine shales of the
Ubarana Formation extend from the Albian until the Recent in the slope and distal portion of
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

the basin. The Macau Formation is represented by volcanic rocks (mainly basalts) of
Eocene/Oligocene age.

The tectonic framework of the Potiguar Basin (Figure 1) is characterized by the presence of
two main faulting systems that are oriented NE-SW, forming asymmetrical grabens
(onshore), and by NW-SE (offshore). These fault systems that define the tectonic features
(central trough and Aracati and Touros platforms) have controlled the distribution of
sediments and oil accumulations in the basin (Bertani et al., 1990). These grabens,
separated by internal highs, are filled with rift sediments and covered by post-rift deposits.
In the offshore part a second rift phase of Late Barremian to Aptian age gave rise to
seaward dipping normal faults trending NW-SE. The platform areas (Figure 1) contain
sedimentary sequences deposited during the transitional phase (lacustrine to restricted
marine) and drift phase (open marine).

The oldest rocks in the Potiguar Basin are the lacustrine freshwater shales and turbidities of
the Pendência Formation (Figure 2). Organic-rich facies of the Pendência were deposited
under anoxic conditions that developed in deeper parts of the lake(s). Progradational
deltaic, alluvial plain and fan-delta deposits border the lacustrine sequence. Overlying the
Pendência Formation is the Alagamar Formation, which also contains lacustrine source
rocks.

During the transitional phase, crustal cooling caused subsidence that led to the deposition
of carbonates, shales and marls interbedded with deltaic sandstones of the Alagamar
Formation. The CPT beds within the Alagamar Formation record the first marine incursions
into the basin (Bertani et al, 1990). During this time marine hypersaline organic-rich
calcareous black shales and marls were deposited. These black shales of the CPT Member of
the Alagamar Formation represent one of the most important source rocks in the basin.

The combination of sea-floor spreading and continuous subsidence led to open marine
conditions. The drift phase can be divided into two sub-divisions. The first, from Albian to
Turonian, is composed of transgressive shales and carbonates overlying fluvial sandstones.
It includes the Ponta do Mel, Açu (a very important reservoir), and Jandaíra formations. The
second sub-division (Campanian to Holocene) is a progradational sequence containing
coarse siliciclastic facies, shelf carbonates and turbidities. This sequence is comprised of the
Tibau, Guamaré and Ubarana formations. Subsequently, sub-marine canyons have cut both
sub-divisions.

The present-day onshore portion of the basin was significantly uplifted and exposed to
erosional processes during the Tertiary. The tectonic process responsible for this uplift
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

affected also large areas of the northeastern region of Brazil, such as the Chapada do
Araripe, Rio do Peixe basin, etc. The characteristics of the organic matter derived from both
the onshore and offshore regions of the Potiguar basin clearly demonstrates the thermal
effect of this relevant tectonic process, as discussed further in this report.

For many years, exploratory drilling was restricted to the onshore and the shelf areas,
where success was especially good in the onshore part of the basin. In the offshore region
the Ubarana field represents a major discovery, although other results have been limited to
a few marginally commercial gas and condensate fields. In 2003 Petrobras has made a
major gas discovery in the shelf, in rift reservoirs.

4. ELEMENTS OF THE PETROLEUM SYSTEMS

Selected oil and rock samples were studied for this project aiming the identification and
elucidation of the generative petroleum systems in the basin. The recognition of the
generative petroleum systems operative in the Potiguar Basin creates a variety of new
exploration plays and opened new areas for oil and gas exploration.

4.1 SOURCE ROCKS AND HYDROCARBONS

A total of 45 oil samples and organic-rich sediments from 17 wells were selected for this
study (Figs. 4 & 5, and Appendix I). These selected source rocks and oils suite allowed the
identification and elucidation of the two major generative petroleum systems in the basin,
composed of four different oil types (1- lacustrine freshwater of the Pendência Fm.; 2-
lacustrine brackish water of the Upanema Mb of the Alagamar Fm.; 3- marine hypersaline of
the CPT Mb. of the Alagamar Fm. and; 4- marine carbonate of the Galinhos Mb of the
Alagamar Fm.). Prior to this study, only a lacustrine fresh to brackish source (Pendência
Formation and Upanema Mb of the Alagamar Formation) and a marine hypersaline source
(CPT Mb. of the Alagamar Formation) were recognized (Mello, 1988; Mello et al., 1994;
Mohriak et al., 1995).

Well locations and geological and geochemical data for the analyzed and discussed organic-
rich sediments and oils are presented in Tables 1 to 4. Table 1 show the wells selected for
source rock study. Table 2 contains all TOC and Rock-Eval data for the rock samples
analyzed and is part of the Appendix I. Table 3 contains the oils selected with their
geochemical, elemental, carbon isotopic, bulk and GC data of the oils, and Table 4 present
quantitative biological marker data of the oils analyzed.

The integration of all data was used to identify and characterize the petroleum systems in
the Potiguar Basin, allowing the differentiation and mapping of all oil families and their
putative source rock distributions. In addition, source-rock depositional environment,
thermal evolution, degree of thermal oil-to-gas cracking and biodegradation were
determined. It is also discussed parameters controlling oil quality and possible migration
pathways from source rock pods to trap.

All analytical procedures, biomarker peak identifications and results, geochemical summary
sheets, geochemical logs and plots are shown in Appendix I and II.

Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

The sediments, of the 17 wells selected from onshore and offshore areas, were analyzed for
total organic carbon (TOC) contents and by Rock-Eval pyrolysis in order to identify and
characterize the source rocks in the basin (see geochemical logs in Table 2 and Appendix 1).

Figure 5 shows a map with the well location from which organic-rich rock samples were
selected for this study. Based on these samples, two main potential source rock systems
were identified: the lacustrine freshwater source rocks of the Pendência formation (rift
sequence – Neocomian age) and the Alagamar formation, which are comprised of black
shales and marls deposited in a pre/post -salt lacustrine/shallow marine hypersaline/
carbonate water sequences of the Upanema Member (Lower Aptian lacustrine brackish
water), Camadas Ponta do Tubarão Member – CPT (Upper Aptian marine hypersaline) and
the Galinhos Member (Albo-Cenomanian marine carbonates) as referred by Mello(1988),
Mello et al.(1988, 1990), Santos Neto et al. (1990), and Souto Filho et al.(2000).

The organic-rich sedimentary section of the Pendência and Alagamar formations observed in
the Potiguar Basin corresponds to a distinct set of depositional environments and to a
distinct phase of crustal rifting and basin evolution. The Pendência source rock system is
very important in the onshore portion of the basin and represents the syn-rift deep
lacustrine fresh water phase of the basin evolution (Santos Neto et al., 1990; Trinidad et al,
1992). By contrast, the Alagamar formation are formed by three source rock Members that
represent a basin evolution of a shallower lacustrine brackish system that evolves to a
proto-oceanic gulf and finally, due to a large sea transgression for a marine restricted
carbonate environment. The Alagamar source rock is the most important petroleum system
in the Potiguar basin and represents the syn-rift shallow lacustrine brackish water/
transitional/ marine restricted pos-rift phase of the basin evolution (Santos Neto et al.,
1990; Trinidad et al, 1992). All these source rock sequences occur together in a vertical
column of about 300m (see Figure 3).

4.1.1. Pendência Formation

The source rocks of the Pendência Formation occur widespread around the onshore and
offshore parts of the basin. The source rocks are composed of organic-rich dark gray to
black shales deposited under a lacustrine freshwater environment with total organic carbon
(TOC) contents reaching up to 7%.Generally the hydrocarbon source potential (S2) is very
high reaching up to 40 mgHC/gRock. The kerogen in mainly type I/II with hydrogen indices
(HI) up to 950mgHC/gTOC together with low oxygen indices (OI < 100 mgCO2/gTOC;
(Figures 6 to 9; Tables 1-2 and Appendix I; Mello, 1988; Trindade et al., 1992). The
lacustrine source rocks of the Pendência formation can reach up to 1500m thick in the
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

onshore area (Santos Neto, 1996), and up to 700m in the offshore areas (Figures 7a & 7b,
Appendix I; Mello, 1988; Trindade et al., 1992).

According to Santos Neto et al. (1990) these source rocks are very important in the
onshore portion of the basin, since they are very rich, very thick and have undergone
extreme thermal evolution. By contrast, in the offshore areas, although they can also be
thick, their hydrocarbon potential is considerably lower, probably reflecting, shallower depth
that causes less anoxic conditions in the bottom water of the lakes (Mello and Maxwell.,
199O and Mello et al., 1994).

This type of source rock is very similar to those reported in the Sergipe-Alagoas, Recôncavo
and Camamu-Almada basins (Mello, 1988; Mello et al., 1988; Mello et al, 1994). The source
rocks of the Pendência Formation are cyclic in nature due to the climatic changes and their
effects on lake bottom conditions (Mello, 1988 and Mello et al, 1994; Mohriak et al., 2000).
Although immature, in shallow depths, most of the organic-rich sections for the Pendência
Formation analyzed in this study, are suggested to be mature to over mature all around the
structural lows located onshore and offshore, such as, in the Southern part (e.g. 1-RC-2
well; Figs. 5 & 6) and in the Eastern part of the basin, where lacustrine derived oils have
been recovered (e.g. 1-RNS-5 well; Fig. 5). The T-max Rock-Eval data suggested that the
Pendência source rocks have undergone thermal evolution ranging from low to very high,
generating therefore oil and gas (Appendix I).
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

The thickness and the hydrocarbon potential of these source rocks are suggested to have
been controlled by tectonic-sedimentary evolution of the rift sequence, thus, the thickest
(up to 2,000m in the structural lows) and richest organic-rich source rocks are expected to
occur in the deeper parts of the paleo-lake, which correspond to the areas with the highest
rift sequence isopachs (see Figs. 1 & 6).

As reported by Mello (1988), Mello et al. (1988), Santos Neto (1999) and Trindade (2000),
and observed in Figures 6 to 13, and Appendix I, the Pendência Formation can be
considered as an important source rock system in the Potiguar basin, not only due to its
good hydrocarbon source potential and organic matter type but also due to its thickness and
thermal evolution. The natural series plots shown by Figure 9 indicate that the sediments of
the Pendência Formation present two distinct behaviors if we considered the onshore and
offshore wells. In the onshore area, the sediments only reach the onset of oil generation
below 1,200m, peak generation around 1,500m, and the over mature stage around 2,000m.
By contrast, in the near shore wells, where the Pendência Formation has been sampled, the
organic-rich facies identified is marginally mature around 2,700m, are at oil peak generation
around 3,500m were they have generated very large amounts of liquid/ condensate
hydrocarbons, and is over mature at around 4500m (Fig. 9). Such discrepancy could only
be explained by a lack of sedimentary section removed by uplift and erosion in the onshore
area. This assumption is supported by geological and seismic data and also by geochemical
modeling shown below. Also, it is worth to mention that most of the oil of this petroleum
system, found onshore and near shore the basin, were generated in structural lows located
all around the basin as reported by Santos Neto (1999) and Figure 1. The maps of Figures
10 to 13 also support this assumption. As can be noticed, the maps present very high
values of TOC and hydrocarbon potential in the onshore part, probably, because the
sediments were deposited close to the deepest parts of the Pendência lakes. On the other
hand, it shows lower values in the offshore areas, where it occurs at deeper horizons. In
summary, the presence of organic-rich sediments of the Pendência formation, widespread
all around the basin, indicate the offshore deep areas, as prolific frontier for liquid and gas
hydrocarbon exploration.

The maps of Figures 10 to 13 display the spatial distribution of the average Total Organic
Carbon (TOC), hydrocarbon source potential (S2-pyrolysis Rock-Eval), thickness and T-Max
values for the Pendência sediments analyzed. They allow the following conclusions:
1) The Pendência organic-rich sediments occur widespread along the basin;
2) It is very a thick unit and can be considered as a relatively overcharged system, although it
is localized in pods situated in local structural lows;
3) Data suggest that the onshore sequences suffered uplift followed by erosion of, at least
1,500 meters, having therefore a very important impact in the thermal evolution of these
source rocks;
4) T-max data suggest that most of the Pendência organic-rich sediments analyzed
passed through all stages of thermal evolution reaching an over mature stage onshore
around 2000m and offshore around 4,000m.
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

4.1.2. The Alagamar Formation (Upanema Member)

The source rocks of the Alagamar formation are composed of the organic-rich calcareous
black shales and marls of the Upanema, Camadas Ponta do Tubarão and Galinhos Members,
deposited during the Aptian-Cenomanian times (Figure 3). The thicker organic-rich
intervals of this system belong to the Upanema member (e.g. Figs 14 to 19; Tables 1-2,
Appendix I). The Upanema organic-rich sediments were deposited in a pre-rift lacustrine
brackish water depositional environment before the deposition of the hypersaline interval of
the organic-rich marls from Camadas Ponta de Tubarão and Galinhos members (e.g. Figs 14
to 16; Tables 1-2, Appendix I).

Two well logs from the wells 1-MA-11-RN and 1-CES-121 are shown as the best examples
to depict the relation between these two depositional facies (e.g. Figs 14 to 16; Tables 1-2,
Appendix I). The source rocks of the Upanema lacustrine Member have TOC contents up to
5%, but averaging 2 to 3% (see Figs. 15a, b & c and Appendix I).

The hydrocarbon source potential (Rock-Eval S2) exceeds 10 mgHC/gRock, but are below 20
mgHC/gRock, and the hydrogen indices averaging 400mgHC/gTOC with a dominance of
type II kerogen (see (e.g. Figs 14 to 16; Tables 1-2, Appendix I; Mello, 1988; Trindade,
1990 and Mello et al., 1994). Bulk geochemical and isotopic data from the rock extracts
indicate that the organic-rich sediments of the Upanema Member were deposited in a deep
lacustrine brackish water anoxic environment (Mello, 1988; Santos Neto, 1999; see Figs 14
to 16 and Appendix I). In contrast, the source rocks of the Camadas Ponta do Tubarão and
Galinhos Members have TOC contents up to 8%, but averaging around 4%. Their
hydrocarbon source potential (Rock-Eval S2) exceeds 40 mgHC/gRock and the hydrogen
indices average around 500 to 600mgHC/gTOC with a dominance of type II kerogen (e.g.
Figs 14 to 16; Tables 1-2, Appendix I; Trindade, 1990 and Mello et al., 1994). Bulk
geochemical and isotopic data indicate that the organic-rich sediments of the Camadas
Ponta do Tubarão and Galinhos Members were deposited in a shallow marine anoxic
hypersaline environment (Mello, 1988 and Trindade, 1990).

Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

The natural series, the reconstructed thickness, TOC (%) and S2 data of the Alagamar Fm
(Figures 17 to 21; Table 2 and Appendix I), suggest that the petroleum system of the
Alagamar Formation sampled up to now can be considered as an charged system, although
their inadequate thermal evolution in the onshore and offshore areas. The natural series plot
indicates that the sediments of the Alagamar Formation only reach the onset of oil generation
below 3,000m. In the near shore wells, where the Alagamar Formation has been sampled, the
organic-rich facies identified is marginally mature, but represent the real prolific facies of this
petroleum system (e.g. Figs 15a, b & c, 17; Tables 1-3, Appendix I). In the offshore areas,
where it is buried below 4,000m, the Alagamar organic-rich sediments are at oil peak
generation and have generated huge amounts of liquid hydrocarbons (see Canto do Amaro
and Ubarana fields; (e.g. Fig 17; Tables 1-3, Appendix I). This assumption is supported by
geological and seismic data and also by geochemical modeling shown below. Also, it is worth
to mention that most of the oil of this petroleum system, found onshore and near shore the
basin, were generated in the Alagamar pods located deep offshore in the basin (e.g., deep
offshore lows, as reported by Mello et al., 1994 and Souto Filho, 2000). As can be noticed,
the maps of Figure 18 to 21 present a thick section with very high values of TOC and
hydrocarbon source potential in the onshore and northwestern parts of the basin, probably,
because the sediments are buried shallower. It is important mentioning that at shallow depth
the organic-rich sequences are still immature. In summary, the presence of organic-rich
sediments of the Alagamar formation, widespread all around the basin, although presenting
low to medium thermal evolution, suggest that the offshore deep areas, can be considered as
prolific frontier for liquid hydrocarbon exploration.

Figure 22 show a map summarizing the pods of generation of the Pendência and Alagamar
petroleum systems in the Potiguar basin based on the integration of the rock geochemical
data generated in this study (Figures 1, 5-22 and Tables 1-4 and Appendix I).

As can be noted there are, at least, three main pod of generation in the Potiguar Basin (Figs
23-24 and Table 1-3; Appendix I and II): The Neocomian lacustrine fresh water Pendência
Albo-Aptian, pods, located in the offshore North Central portion, and in the Onshore
Southweastern area, comprising the source rocks of the Pendência formation ; and The
Albo-Aptian, Alagamar pod, located North in the deep offshore area comprising the source
rocks of the Members Upanema (Lacustrine Brackish water environment), CPT (Marine
hypersaline environment) and Galinhos (Marine anoxic). It is important mentioning the
overlay of both petroleum systems in the Central offshore portion of the Basin. Such
feature increases the chance of overcharge petroleum pods.

Figure 22. Spatial distribution of the Pods of Generation of the Potiguar Basin based in the
location of all the oils discovered up to now. Note that the most of the hydrocarbon occurrences
are composed of mixed oils, suggesting therefore an overlay of lacustrine and marine migration
pathways.

4.2. Hydrocarbons

Oil biomarkers, i.e. molecular fossils, such as steranes, hopanes, and aromatic compounds
reflect the precursor compounds of the organisms that contributed with organic matter at
the time of source-rock deposition, and thereby can provide information about age and the
prevailing environmental conditions. During generation and migration, the oils undergo
molecular changes in response to temperature and biodegradation, and therefore, biological
marker analysis of oils can be used to ascertain which types of organisms and depositional
environments of the source rocks prevailed, and in some cases the degree of thermal
evolution and biodegradation can be determined. Such data are fundamental for assessing
the underlying causes of oil origin and quality and therefore allowing for oil type and quality
prediction. A new method based on diamondoid analyses to determine oil-to-gas
conversion, i.e. oil cracking, was applied in this study for determining advanced oil maturity
and mixing of post-mature with normal maturity oil. This methodology opens up new
exploration plays by recognizing contributions from deep sources.

The assessment and differentiation of petroleum systems using geochemical and molecular
parameters of 45 selected oil samples were performed in order to characterize the
petroleum systems of the Potiguar basin (Figures 1, 23-67 and Tables 3-4 and Appendix
II).

The integration of the high-resolution geochemical data generated in this study indicates
that there are, at least, four main oil types in the Potiguar Basin (Figs 23-24 and Table 3;
Appendix II).
The pre-salt, Neocomian lacustrine freshwater single oil type sourced by the black shales of
the Pendência Formation, defines the Pendência (!) Petroleum System and occurs isolated
in the oilfields of Pescada (offshore Northwestern part of the Basin) and Agulha (offshore
Northeastern part of the Basin; Figs 24-25). Also, this system is reported to occur
widespread in the extreme onshore Southern area (See Fig. 25).
In contrast, the others three oil types, identified as: lacustrine brackish water, marine
hypersaline and marine anoxic usually occur as a mixture, since they are derived from a
relatively single thick sedimentary section of the Alagamar Formation (See geochemical
logs above). They were sourced by the Lower Aptian lacustrine system of the Upanema
member, the post-salt Aptian marine system of the CPT Member, and the post-salt Albian-
Cenomanian marine system of the Galinhos Member, and defines the Alagamar-Açu (!)
petroleum system (Figures 1 and 3 and 23-25; Table 1 and Appendix II; Babinski & Santos,
1984; Mello, 1988; Mello et al., 1988; Mello et al., 1989; Koutsoukos et al., 1991;
Trindade, 1992; Trindade & Brassell, 1992; Mello et al., 1995; Mohriak et al., 2000).
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

In the extremes east and west portions of the basin, the oils of the Alagamar-Açu (!) are
derived from a single source (Figs 23-25). In the central part of the basin, oils are mixed,
derived from the marine and lacustrine sources (Figs 23-25). The presence of multiple
sources is important for several reasons. First of all, the chance that multiples petroleum
systems overlapping each other in most part of the basin is increased. Furthermore, due to
the fact that these sources have different activation energies, (lacustrine Type I kerogen,
marine hypersaline and marine carbonate Type II kerogen with varying sulfur
concentrations) there is a chance to get multiple source rocks into the oil window at the
same time, which, drastically increases the chance of reservoir overcharge by liquids.

Figure 23. Location Map of the oils from Potiguar Basin analyzed in this study.
 Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

Figure 24 Oils type versus reservoir depth, name and age in the Potiguar Basin
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

The recognition of the overlap and mixing of as many as five oil types, in the offshore
portion of the Potiguar Basin, opens up an entirely new exploration type of plays in most
part of the basin. For example, plays targeting the lacustrine Pendência, the CPT marine
hypersaline and Galinhos carbonate anoxic-sourced oils located in relatively deep water
have not been tested. Moreover, deep reservoirs containing lacustrine oils have scarcely
been tested in the entire offshore region. The most important conclusion of this study is
that the most active source pods for lacustrine and marine sourced oils have not been
understood and drilled in the offshore area. The source rocks of most of the petroleum
systems (see above), that has sourced oils, and occurs throughout the deep offshore areas
of the Basin has not been mapped. It is important to mention, that up to now, no giant oil
accumulations have been discovered in the offshore, or in the deep water realm of the
basin. Such fact is probably due to the lack of detailed petroleum system modeling. It is
worth mentioning that the Potiguar Basin can be considered an overcharged system, and a
proof of that is the occurrence of the giant onshore Campo do Amaro field with more that
500 million barrels of oil reserves. Also, all the oil from this field migrated from a deep pod
situated deep offshore from more than 80 km distance. Therefore, this study suggests that
deep and shallow reservoir targets, bearing large volumes of oil and gas, sourced by
Neocomian to Cenomanian source rocks, are still undiscovered in the offshore areas of the
Potiguar basin (figs 24-25).

The physical and chemical properties of the oils from the Potiguar Basin (e.g. gravity,
viscosity, sulfur content, asphalthene content, waxiness; Table 3 and Figs 26-29) are
dependent on source, thermal maturity (e.g. depth) and the extent of biodegradation.
Generally, higher-quality, light, low sulfur, saturate-enriched, waxy oils originate from
lacustrine sources at peak oil generation. Conversely, lower quality heavier, more sulfur-
rich, oils originate from low/ medium-maturity marine (hypersaline/carbonate) source rocks
(see below the marine oils; Tissot & Welte, 1984, Hunt, 1979, Mello, 1988). In addition,
biodegradation generally lowers the quality of the oil by removing light saturate
hydrocarbons and concentrating heavy, sulfur-rich polar and asphalt components.
 Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

Figure 25. Map showing a summary of the petroleum system of the Potiguar Basin. Observe the occurrence and juxtaposition of
the marine and lacustrine petroleum systems towards deep water in the basin. Also, the presence of regional NE-SW fault
systems is a very important feature controlling the migration pathways in the whole Basin. Such feature suggests that the
presence of the active pods of generation are located deep offshore.
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

Typically, Brazilian lacustrine fresh and brackish water oils are rich in saturated
hydrocarbons and are low in sulfur (<0.1%; see Table 3 and Figs 24-27). These
characteristics are associated with the source type and advanced maturity and are
consistent with elevated API gravities (Mello, 1988, Mello et al., 1988; 1994). In the
Potiguar Basin, the oils that were sourced or have received contribution from the Pendência
source rocks (e.g. 3-AG-2-RNS, 1-RNS-7, 1-RNS-27 and 3-RNS 88D-RNS, etc.) show very
low sulfur content (< 0, 08%), elevated saturate (up to 84%) and API values (up to 42 o;
Figures 25-27; Table 3). These features are characteristic of the pre-salt, lacustrine oil
types sourced from organic-rich lacustrine sediments of the Pendência formation (Mello,
1988; Mello et al., 1988; Mello et al, 1990 and 1995).

The quality of the Potiguar lacustrine oils, as can be observed in Table 3, is quite uniform,
with API gravities ranging from 33o to 43o, and appears to be controlled by reservoir depth
and also oil mixing (See figs 26-28; Tables 2 and 3). In the analyzed oils, the elevated API
gravities observed are the result mainly of very high thermal maturity, source type and lack
of biodegradation, (Hunt, 1979; Tissot and Welte, 1984). Oils with the highest API gravities
(>40o) and consequently saturate contents (up to 85%) are from deep reservoirs, and
sourced by the lacustrine Pendência and the Marine Galinhos source rocks (e.g. 3-RNS-33,
RNS-120, RNS-125, 1-RNS- 7 and RNS-27 wells). They are located in the Pescada,
Arabaiana and Agulha fields, and associated with localized pronounced deep structural lows
(Figs. 24-28).

By contrast, single marine hypersaline oil type (CPT member; Upper Aptian sequence of the
Alagamar formation) contain more than 0.3 weight percent sulfur, are depleted in saturated
hydrocarbons and show API gravities ranging from 18o to 30o. Among them, the lowest API
gravities observed are the result mainly of biodegradation and low thermal maturity (e.g.
1-RNS-112, 3-RNS-47, 3-RNS-38, 4-RNS-81, 4-RNS-127 (Table 3, Figs. 24-29).

On the other hand the mixed oils (Upanema Member, brackish water oils/ mixed with
marine CPT and Galinhos oils) contain weight percent sulfur ranging from 0.1% to 0.3%,
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

saturated hydrocarbons around 60% and show API gravities ranging from 30o to 35o. These
features are the result mainly of oil mixing, biodegradation and thermal evolution (e.g.
Table 3, Figs. 25-29).
Figure 29 and 30 show maps displaying the API gravity and sulfur data of the oils analyzed
in this study. Note the increase of API and decrease sulfur values close to the deep offshore
Northern areas where the location of the source rock pods of generation was postulated by
Santos Neto at al. (1990) and Souto Filho et al. (2000). Also, observe that the highest
values are associated with the deep depocenters located at the Pescada-Arabaiana oil fields
(e.g. Figs 24-30). By contrast, the oils located near shore showed the lowest API values
with the highest sulfur content (e.g. biodegraded or long distance from the pods).

For the marine hypersaline oils there is a uniform NE-SW trend, in which the API values
decrease towards shallow water. This data corroborates with a migration pathway from the
Northern deep offshore pods to onshore reservoirs (e.g. 26 and 27; Santos Neto at al.
(1990) and Souto Filho et al. (2000).

Figure 26. API gravity versus Depth (m) of the oils from the Potiguar oils. Note that, as a general trend
the API gravity data of the do suggest a depth control for oil quality. The oils considered outsider from
this trend are mixed oils composed of contribution from the marine and lacustrine petroleum Systems.

Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

The stable carbon isotopic composition of the hydrocarbon fractions is related to the organic matter from
which the fractions are derived. Isotopically light values of δ13C suggests a freshwater origin since the
principle lipid constituents, originating from terrestrial plants and freshwater algae, are depleted in δ13C
relative to those of marine or saline plants (Tissot & Welte, 1984; Mello, 1988). On the other hand,
heavier values of δ13C can indicate a hypersaline origin. Nevertheless, δ13C values can differ as much as
two per mil if significant differences in thermal evolution or biodegradation are involved (Sofer, 1984). For
example, increasing thermal maturation (e.g. 3-RNS-33) and bacterial alteration (e.g. 3-RNS-47) can
result in isotopically heavier whole oil and saturate hydrocarbons and, to a lesser extent, aromatic
hydrocarbons (Figs 25-31, Table 3 and Appendix II; Tissot & Welte, 1984; Peters & Moldowan, 1993).

The stable carbon isotopic signatures of the studied Potiguar oils are consistent with the
geochemical bulk data described above and the overall data from all the equatorial oils of
the Brazilian marginal basins (Mello, 1988; Mello et al., 1988; Figures 25-31, Table 3 and
Appendix II). Namely, the lacustrine fresh water oils show the lightest isotopic signatures
(i.e. δ13C values < -28%0), and can be easily differentiated from the marine hypersaline
and marine carbonate oils that possess heavier isotopic signatures (i.e., δ13C values > -
26.5%0; Figs. 30-31, Table 3 and Appendix II). Mixed oils from the lacustrine brackish water
(sourced from the Aptian Upanema) and marine hypersaline and anoxic (sourced by CPT
and Galinhos) of the Alagamar Formation have intermediate isotopic compositions ((i.e.,
δ13C values around -27 to -28%0; Figs 31-32, Table 3 and Appendix II).

Values of δ13C values > -25%0; (Figs 31-32, Table 3 and Appendix II), on the other hand,
can be attributed to very high thermal stress that altered the carbon isotope ratios making
them very positive.

In summary, the use of bulk geochemical and carbon isotope data help to differentiate and
classify the oil types and quality in the Potiguar basin. However, as can be noted by figures
27-32, a lot of oil mixing could be suggested as a result of superposition of the various
source rock systems occurring in the same areas, where the Alagamar organic-rich
sediments are distributed along the Upanema (lacustrine), Camadas Ponta do Tubarão-CPT
(marine Hypersaline) and Galinhos members (marine anoxic; e.g. see the source rock
section above).

Pristane/Phytane, normal-paraffin distributions and carbon preference indices (CPI) can

help to identify the source rocks facies that gave origin to the oils studied. Dominance of
high molecular n-alkanes (long-chain n-paraffin with a high waxy content), with odd over
even carbon preferences (CPI > 1.0) are associated with input from terrigenous higher land
plant organic matter (lacustrine environment), while a dominance of low molecular weight
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

n-alkanes with an even carbon number preference (CPI < 1.0) indicates possible marine
hypersaline/ carbonate source environment; (Mello, 1988; Peters & Moldowan, 1993). It is
important mentioning that oils with high thermal maturity often do not display an odd or an
even carbon preference regardless of origin (see 1-RNS-79, 1-RNS-134, 3-RNS-120 and 3-
RNS-125 in the Appendix II). On the other hand, the isoprenoids ratio (pristane to phytane;
Pr/Ph) are not greatly affected by post-generative alteration processes and therefore, can
be used as a source indicator (Mello et al., 1988). Also, Pr/Ph ratios less than about 1.5 are
often associated with a source composed of predominant marine organic matter; Pr/Ph
ratios greater than 2 are generally associated with a lacustrine sources composed of
terrestrial organic matter. By contrast Pr/Ph ratios less than 1 are often associated with a
marine anoxic environment (Mello, 1988; Mello et al., 1988; Mello et al., 1995). However,
Pr/Ph ratios also reflect salinity rather than simply the anoxic/oxic conditions of
sedimentation (Mello et al., 1988; Haven et al., 1988). Indeed, it has been observed in the
Potiguar oils that pristane predominates in freshwater environments (higher than 2% for
the Pendência oils classified as lacustrine fresh and brackish water), whereas phytane
dominates in hypersaline environments of the CPT and Galinhos systems (less than 1.5%;
Figs 25-33, Tables 3-4 and Appendix II; Haven et al., 1985, 1988; Mello et al., 1988a,
1988b). Mixed oils, in general, present intermediate values (e.g. Figs 31-32).

The Pr/n-C17 and Ph/n-C18 ratios are dependent upon thermal maturity and degree of
biodegradation in addition to source type (Peters & Moldowan, 1993). These ratios will
increase with increasing biodegradation due to preferential removal of n-paraffin relative to
branched paraffin (isoprenoids) and will decrease with increasing maturity (cracking
reactions).

As can be observed on Figures 25, 33, 43, and 51, Tables 3-4 and Appendix II, the whole
oil gas chromatograms (GC’s) representing the oils from Potiguar Basin are of 3 basic
types: (1) GC’s with n-paraffin distributions dominated by high molecular weight
components (over n-C21) with odd/even predominance along with high pristane/ phytane
ratios (>2.0; typical characteristic of lacustrine fresh and brackish water oils); (2) The
second type produced by marine-sourced oils has smooth n-paraffin distributions skewed
toward low molecular weight components associated with low pristane/phytane ratios
(<1,2; typical of marine hypersaline and anoxic oils) and; (3) The GCs exhibits bi-modal n-
paraffin distributions, suggestive of oil mixing of different types with biodegraded and non-
biodegraded oils (e.g. pristane/phytane ratios between 2 and 1; Figs 25, 31, 33, 43, and
51, Tables 3-4 and Appendix II).

Several oils in the Potiguar Basin have experienced varying degrees of alteration by
bacteria as shown in the examples of Figures 33, 43 and 51 (bimodal distribution of n-
alkanes and Appendix II). Depending on the level of biodegradation, these oils display a
reduction of n-paraffin relative to the isoprenoids and/or have enlarged naphthene "humps"
corresponding to a complex mixture of unresolved hydrocarbons (e.g. 3-RNS-47). The
isoprenoids, pristane (Pr) and phytane (Ph) are more resistant to bacterial alteration than
n-paraffin, but are also consumed during severe biodegradation (e.g. Mello, 1988; Peters &
Moldowan, 1993).

Biodegradation has affected the quality of many oils from the Potiguar Basin, particularly
those from relatively shallow reservoirs (e.g. Figs 26-29, 33, 43, and 51, Tables 3-4 and
Appendix II, Tables 3 and 4 and Appendix II). However, oil mixing, as demonstrated by the
bi-modal n-paraffin distributions in most of the oils (see above), has improved the final oil
quality, by the addition of fresh no biodegraded oils to reservoirs containing heavy
biodegraded oils. Also oil mixing among all Upanema (lacustrine brackish), CPT (marine
hypersaline) and Galinhos members (marine anoxic), has altered substantially the GC
character of most of the oils in the basin (see Figs 25-29, 33, 43, and 51, Tables 3-4 and
Appendix II, and Appendix II). Summarizing, in general, the oil quality aspect is not a
major problem in the Potiguar basin.

Biomarkers are compounds present in oils that can be correlated with their original
biological precursors molecules even after having undergone the process of oil generation.
Thus, biomarkers are useful indicators of source, depositional paleoenvironment, and
source-rock age in the same manner that physical remains of organisms, i.e. fossils, can
describe depositional systems. Therefore, differences in biomarker distributions
(absence/presence/relative abundance of specific biomarkers) can be used to separate oils
into different source families (Seifert & Moldowan, 1978, 1981; Moldowan et al., 1985;
Mello et al., 1988a, 1988b; Peters & Moldowan 1993). They are also thermal maturation
and biodegradation indicators. Terpanes, steranes, methylsteranes, diasteranes, and
triaromatic steranes biomarkers distribution from Potiguar Basin oils are shown in Tables 3-
4, Appendix II, and Figs. 32-58). Selected oil samples from Potiguar oils were also analyzed
(Appendix II and Figures 39-42, 57 and 58), using metastable reaction monitoring (MRM)
techniques. This high specific analysis can provide important molecular information,
regarding oil origin, that can not be obtainable by any other means. An example is the MRM
transition used to detect the presence/absence/relative abundance of C30 n-propyl steranes
which are present only in marine oils and absent in lacustrine-sourced oils (Appendix II).
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

Based on these geochemical analyses, the oils were classified as generated from source
rocks deposited in four distinct depositional environments from the pre-salt and pos-salt
sequences: 1) Neocomian lacustrine fresh water systems of the Pendência Formation; 2)
Aptian lacustrine fresh to brackish water systems of the Alagamar Formation (Upanema
Member); 3) Aptian marine hypersaline water system of the Alagamar Formation (Camadas
Ponta do Tubarão Member-CPT) and 4) Aptian marine carbonate anoxic water system of the
Alagamar Formation (Galinhos Member).

The oils from Pendência and Alagamar Formation (Upanema Member) have diagnostic
biomarker features that indicate a lacustrine fresh (Pendência) to brackish water
(Alagamar) origin including (Tables 3-4, Figs 32-38, 44-50 and Appendix II): high hopane/
sterane ratios (> 10), dominance of C26 relative to C25 tricyclic terpanes, Ts higher than Tm,
absence/ very low abundance of bisnorhopane; high concentrations of the TPP doublet
relative to C27 diasteranes (m/z 259), high abundance of C29 regular steranes, high
abundance of 4-methyl steranes over regular steranes, low diasteranes, gammacerane and
extended hopanes and an enrichment in C30 αβ hopane over its C29 counterpart. In addition,
these lacustrine oils are often enriched in C29 triaromatic steranes and 4-methyl triaromatic
dinosteranes relative to the 3-methyl compound (Mello, 1988; Mello et al., 1988a and b;
Mello et al., 1989; Koutsoukos et al., 1991; Trindade, 1992; Trindade & Brassell; 1992;
Mello et al., 1995; Peters & Moldowan, 1993; Mohriak et al., 2000). It is important to
mention that in oils with very high thermal evolution most of the biomarker data diagnostic
of source input are completely altered and must be used with caution (e.g. Hopane/
Sterane ratios in the oils from 3-RNS-120, 3-RNS-33 and 3-RNS-88D-RN wells; Appendix
II).

By contrast the marine oils from oils from Aptian marine hypersaline and anoxic carbonate
water systems of the Alagamar Formation (Camadas Ponta do Tubarão Member-CPT and
Galinhos Members) present completely different biomarker data, diagnostic of increased
salinity in the depositional environmental, that includes: (Tables 3-4, Figs 33-63 and
Appendix II): low hopane/sterane ratios (< 3), high abundances of C25 relative to C26
tricyclic terpanes, Tm higher than Ts, high abundance of bisnorhopane, low concentrations
of the TPP doublet relative to C27 diasteranes (m/z 259), high proportions of C27 relative to
C29 regular steranes, very low abundance of 4-methyl steranes over regular steranes, low
gammacerane in the oils from the Galinhos System; and very high gammacerane and
extended hopanes in the oils sourced from the CPT Member). In addition, these marine oils
are often low in C29 steranes and triaromatic steranes and present dominance of 3-methyl
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

over 4-methyl triaromatic dinosteranes (e.g. Figs 33-58; Appendix II; Mello, 1988; Mello et
al., 1988a and b; Mello et al., 1989; Koutsoukos et al., 1991; Trindade, 1992; Trindade &
Brassell; 1992; Mello et al., 1995; Peters & Moldowan, 1993; Mohriak et al., 2000).

The ratio of TPP/ diasteranes has also been used to differentiate lacustrine from marine oils.
High values of this ratio are indicative of lacustrine environments. This parameter is also
seen to be effective here in differentiating most lacustrine and mixed oils from those oils
derived from typical marine source rocks (Figures 25, 36, 46, 54, Table 4 in the Appendix
II). Some of the mixed oils are near in value to the marine oils, which could indicate a
larger "marine" effect in those particular mixed oils (Table 4 and Figures 60 and 61).
However care must be taken regarding the use of this source parameter in the marine
hypersaline oils from the CPT. Generally, this type of oil presents very low concentrations of
C27 diasteranes. Such fact can modify the ratio and mislead the oil classification (e.g. Figs
54 and 62 and Appendix II).

The ratio of hopane/sterane and the gammacerane index have been used to differentiate
lacustrine fresh from saline and also from marine hypersaline and siliciclastic oils in the
Brazilian Marginal Basins (Mello, 1988 and Mello et al., 1988). High values for Hopane/
Sterane (above 10), and low values of gammacerane/ hopane ratios (below 4), were shown
to indicate lacustrine fresh to brackish to saline water environments. This parameter is also
seen to be effective here in differentiating most lacustrine Pendência oils from those
lacustrine oils derived from the Alagamar source rocks (Figs 24-27, 59 and 560, Table 4
and Appendix II). A few oils show intermediate value close to the observed in marine oils.
This could indicate mixed oils with a larger "lacustrine fresh to Brackish or marine" or
“marine hypersaline” effects in those particular oils. Interestingly, are the 7-Ub-23D, 3-
RNS-88D, 1-RNS-27, 1-RNS-71, 1-RNS-74 and 1-RNS-79 oils that appear to represent a
lacustrine source environment, although have hopane/sterane ratio lower than 9 and
gammacerane index higher than 0.5 (Figs 24-27, 59 and 60, Table 4 and Appendix II).
These features are a result of oil mixing (lacustrine plus marine) and thermal stress
affecting the molecular ratios. Indeed such mixtures are present in most of the oils
analyzed in this study, since there is the superposition of their three petroleum systems in
most part of the basin.

On the other hand, very low values for Hop/ Sterane (below 2) were shown to be diagnostic
of the marine oils. Also the gammacerane index is very effective here in differentiating
most marine hypersaline CPT oils (very high gammacerane indices; > 0.7) from those
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

marine oils derived from the Galinhos source rocks (Figs 24-26, 60 and 61, Table 4 and
Appendix II).

In addition to biomarker analyses based on selected ion monitoring (SIM-GC-MS), some oils
were selected for biomarker analysis using metastable reaction monitoring (MRM-GC-MS;
Figures 39-42, 50-51 and 57-58 and Appendix II). These MRM-GC-MS data was used to
confirm the presence/ absence of the C30 steranes (24-n-propylcholestane) considered to
be diagnostic of marine contribution (Moldowan et al., 1995). The non-marine oils from the
Pendência and Alagamar lacustrine systems do not show any presence of detectable C30
steranes. By contrast the marine oils from the hypersaline CPT and Galinhos Members do
present C30 steranes compounds, although in very low concentrations (Figures 39-42, 50-
51 and 58-59 and Appendix II Table 4 and Appendix II), confirming therefore their marine
origin. The explanation for the low concentrations of C30 steranes compounds in these oils is
the hypersaline conditions in which their putative source rocks were deposited. As reported
by Mello (1988) and Mello et al. (1988), all hypersaline oils sourced by the Upper Aptian
hypersaline marls from the Brazilian marginal basins do represent a transitional
environments, in which the hypersaline conditions do not allow the development, in high
abundances of the C30 steranes (24-n-propylcholestanes) precursors (e.g. chrisophyta
algae; e.g. Peters and Moldowan, 1994; Mello et al., 2000)

It is important mentioning that the lacustrine petroleum system is restricted in the basin
occurring locally in the oil fields of Agulha and Pescada and in localized onshore
depocenters (extreme Southwestern part of the Basin; see Figs 24-26). By contrast the
most important petroleum system present in this study appears to be the Upper Aptian
Marine hypersaline Member Camadas Ponta do Tubarão-CPT of the Alagamar Formation.
This petroleum System represents not only, the reserves of the Ubarana (offshore) and
Canto do Amaro oil fields (onshore), but also the majority of the oil fields found up to now
in the Potiguar Basin. On the other hand, the Galinhos Member is only represented by few
sub-commercial oil accumulations. Also, the molecular data suggest that oil mixtures
involving the lacustrine Upanema together with the marine petroleum systems from the
CPT and Galinhos Members are more common than has been thought before, and must
represent a large part of the reserves of the Ubarana field (see Figs 24-26).

The GC-MS and MRM-GC-MS data also provide an opportunity to easily and reliably assess
the thermal evolution of the source rocks and oils from the Potiguar Basin. The thermal
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

maturity ratios commonly used are the C29 αββ/ (αββ + ααα) and 20S/20R ratios. Another
maturity parameter is the terpanes ratio (Ts/Ts + Tm) that systematically increases with
maturity for oils derived from similar source rocks. Figures 63 and 64 show the comparison
among the C29 αββ/ (αββ + ααα) with 20S/20R and (Ts/Ts + Tm) ratios. Although this
ratios may be very difficult to accurately determine using only GC-MS data due to
interfering coeluting compounds, a very reliable measurement can be made using MRM-GC-
MS transitions (see table 4), which completely eliminate coelutions.

The assessment of relative thermal evolution in oils is based on physical properties, gross
compositions, isoprenoids and biomarker ratios that are primarily dependent on thermal
stress of the source rocks (Mello, 1988; Peters & Moldowan, 1993). Biomarker maturity
parameters are listed in Table 4. Figure 63 show a correlation between the steranes C29
20S/ (20S+20R) with the C29 αββ/ (αββ + ααα) counterparts. Figure 64 show the Ts/Ts +
Tm compared with the C29 αββ/ (αββ + ααα) steranes. As can be observed, both diagrams
show a trend of thermal evolution in which the oils from the lacustrine Pendência Formation
and mixed ones are the most mature. By contrast, the least mature are the hypersaline oils
sourced by the CPT Member. Both of these ratios can also be affected by differences in
source facies (Peters & Moldowan, 1992). The Ts/ Ts + Tm ratio can be affected also, by
biodegradation (because of greater Ts resistance to bacterial alteration relative to Tm).
Therefore, these ratios must be used with caution.
The plots of figures 63 to 64 and the map of figures 64 and 65 suggest that higher thermal
maturity were achieved by the oils associated with the localized offshore structural lows of
the Pendência Formation and close to the distal Northern offshore pods of the Alagamar
formation. Also the map suggests that a long distance migration pathway, for the Marine
oils, from their active pod of generation, which is located at the deep offshore Northern
realm.

Maturity dependent steranes Ro equivalent biomarker parameters, (Appendix, Table 3 and

Figures 67 to 68; Mello, 1988; Peters & Moldowan, 1993;), suggest that most of the oils
were generated from source rocks at a maturity equivalent to peak stages of oil generation
(0.85-1.0 %Ro equivalent). The lacustrine and mixed oils from the wells 1-RNS-27, 1-RNS-
120, 1-RNS-125, 3-RNS-33, and 1-RNS-79 (see Appendix II also), were generated from
source rocks in the post peak portion of the oil generation window, fact that destroyed most
of the biomarker compounds (Appendix II, Tables 3-4 and Figures 66-67). This conclusion
was based primarily on maturity dependent geochemical and biomarker parameters (very
high saturates/aromatics content and αββ steranes (e.g. Mello, 1988; Peters & Moldowan,
1993). On the other hand, the marine hypersaline oils from the wells 1-RNS-43, 3-RNS-42,
3-RNS-73A, 4-RNS-35, 1-CES-, 118, 125 and 140, 3-RNS-38, 3-RNS-44 and 1-RNS-77, etc
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

were generated from source rocks at maturity equivalent to the early/ middle phase of oil
generation (around 0.6-0.7 %Ro equivalent; Appendix II, Figures 63-68, Table 4). As a
rule, the offshore oils are more mature than the onshore ones in the Potiguar basin. This
suggests a migration scenario from deep offshore active source pods. Reconstructions of
the burial and thermal history of the organic-rich sequences of the Potiguar Basin indicate
that beyond the limits of the platform in the offshore region the source rock pods of the
Pendência and Alagamar Formations must occur (e.g. Fig. 68). The integration of these
data with geological and seismic ones suggests the deep offshore area as light oil/gas-
condensate prone for the Pendência and Alagamar sequences. These data, also suggest
that offshore in the deep water area, all the Pendência Formation must be over mature, and
therefore a gas/ condensate-prone lacustrine petroleum system should be expected. On the
other hand, the marine source rocks must be in the liquid stage, and therefore a light oil-
prone marine petroleum system should be expected

to mention the difficulties in differentiating the Aptian marine hypersaline from the Albian-Cenomanian
marine anoxic oil types.

As can be observed by the chromatograms and fragmentograms from Figures 33, 43 and
51, Table 3 and Appendix II, some of the lacustrine and marine hypersaline and anoxic oils
analyzed in this study have experienced degrees of biodegradation ranging from extreme to
mild (Mello, 1988; Peters & Moldowan, 1992. This is indicated by the loss of low molecular
weight n-alkanes, presence of very high UCM compounds and pristane/ n-C17 ratios and
high abundances of nuclear demethylated hopanes (25-norhopanes). The 25-norhopanes
are formed by extensive bacterial alteration, after destruction of all n-alkanes. In addition,
most of the Pendência lacustrine oils appear to be mixed oils based on geochemical
evidence such as presence of very high 25-norhopanes together with n-alkanes (e.g. 1-
RNS-13, 1-RNS-27, 1-RNS-71, 3-RNS-74 and 1-RNS-137, etc; Fig. 69). Oils containing
both a full-suite of n-paraffin and nuclear demethylated hopanes (25-norhopanes) indicates
mixing of non biodegraded and biodegraded oils (Fig. 33-34, 43-44, and 51-52; Appendix II
and Table 4). It is likely that the first oil migrated into the reservoir was severely degraded
by bacteria (giving rise to the nuclear demethylated hopanes). Subsequent fresh oil
migrated into the reservoir and mixed with the degraded oil. It is worth or mentioning the
presence, although in low abundances of 25-norhopanes in most of the hypersaline marine
oils situated in the extreme Northwestern and Southeastern part of the basin. Such feature
indicates that the biodegradation of these oil types in the very shallow reservoirs occurred
very recently and therefore their biodegradation stage still on course.

thermal evolution of the oils towards and close to the deep offshore Lows, where the active pods of generation are located.
Therefore, suggesting a long distance migration pathway from Northern pods towards near shore and onshore areas of the Basin..
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

The map of Figure 69 illustrates the distribution of oil mixing and biodegradation in the
basin. As can be observed, the mixed oils composed by more than one pulse of oil
migration occur in the offshore projections of two main oil accumulations trends; the
Pescada –Arabaiana, located at the Northwestern part of the basin and the Agulha field
located at the Southeastern area. In both areas, major regional faults had a significant role
in the oil migration, oil mixing and water percolation. Also, it could be observed that bellow
2000m all reservoirs have been preserved from biodegradation and present good quality
oil.

Figure 70 shows a diamondoids plot from selected Potiguar oils analyzed on this study. The
oils from 1-RNS-127, 1-RNS-121, 1-RNS-137, 1-RNS-71 and 1-RNS-134 wells show a lack
of/ low degree of thermal cracking (oil window). By contrast, the two oils from well 3-RNS-125-
RNS are extremely cracked, but also have moderate C29 sterane concentrations, so they are mixed from
severely cracked and probably normal maturity oil. Oils from 3-RNS-33-RNS, 3-RNS-120-RNS and
possibly 1-RNS-79-RNS also appear to be cracked. The C29 steranes are low in these three samples.
Therefore, they are predominantly very mature condensate, with perhaps a small amount of normal
maturity oil mixed in. Such thermal stage suggests a considerable potential for light oils,
condensates and gas accumulations for the area around the Pescada-Arabaiana fields. The
mixtures composed of non-cracked and highly cracked oils could arise when oils sourced by
a single or multiple sources are generated from several pulses as source rocks are buried to
greater and greater depths. The integration of these data with geological scenarios
suggests mixing of lacustrine (rift) light oils and condensates with the marine anoxic oils.
Indeed, the presence of mixed lacustrine fresh (Pendência type) with marine anoxic
(Galinhos) oils in the Pescada–Arabaiana field would suggest a great potential for
exploration in the basin at deep horizons, not only for light oils, but also for gas and
condensates.

In summary, the oils from Potiguar Basin can be divided in four types: 1) Neocomian
lacustrine fresh water systems of the Pendência Formation; 2) Aptian lacustrine fresh to
brackish water systems of the Alagamar Formation (Upanema Member); 3) Aptian marine
hypersaline water system of the Alagamar Formation (Camadas Ponta do Tubarão Member-
CPT) and 4) Aptian marine carbonate anoxic water system of the Alagamar Formation
(Galinhos Member). In general, there is a facies distribution pathway in which the
hypersaline facies occurring in more proximal areas and the marine carbonate anoxic in
more distal regions.
 Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

Differences in thermal evolution also exist, and the differences are relatively high if you
compare the hypersaline oils with the lacustrine and marine anoxic (Figs 59-61). In
general, deep offshore oils are much more mature than the oils close to onshore. This
suggests a long distant migration scenario from deep offshore active pods towards the
onshore accumulations, which opens up a large new frontier for exploration throughout the
whole basin (e.g. Fig. 22-26).

biodegraded events coincident with the most mature oils suggested oil mixing from several migration
pulse from distinct petroleum system contributing for the same oil accumulation.

noted, there are a number of oils that are mixtures non cracked and cracked oils derived from distinct

4.3. Reservoirs, Seals, and Traps

This following session discusses the main characteristics of the reservoirs, seals and traps
related to each petroleum system of the Potiguar basin.

4.3.1. Pendência (!) petroleum system

The petroleum generated by the Pendência source rocks is found within reservoirs of the
rift, transitional and marine sequences (Figure 70). It is worth mentioning that while the
petroleum sourced by the Pendência Formation accounts for most of the whole of the fields
discovered in the rift sequence, (except contribution of marine oils in the Pescada and RNS-
33 accumulations) it represents only a part of the accumulations found in the transitional
and marine sequences, being always mixed with the petroleum generated by the Alagamar
Formation source rocks.

In the rift sequence, the reservoirs comprise alluvial, deltaic and lacustrine turbidities
sandstones ranging from coarse to fine, and with porosities between 12 and 27%, and
permeability ranging from 700 md to 1 Darcy. The seals are dark gray shales deposited in
lacustrine and deltaic environments (Bertani et al., 1990). There is a wide variety of traps
including rotated faulted blocks related to the border fault of the onshore grabens, and
structures associated to antithetic, gravitational (e.g. Serraria field) and transfer (e.g.
Pescada fields and RNS-33 area) faults (see cross sections – Figure 70). Although the traps
are mainly structural, lateral facies variations and paleogeomorphic features may also play
an important role for the entrapment of petroleum in some cases.
In the marine sequence there are various reservoirs and the traps may be structural,
stratigraphic, or mixed (for a more detailed discussion about such reservoirs and traps see
the Alagamar-Açu (!) petroleum system).
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

entrapment mechanism within the Pendência Formation reservoirs, Potiguar Basin (after Bertani et al.,
1990).
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

4.3.2. Alagamar-Açu (!) petroleum system

The petroleum generated by the Alagamar Formation source rocks is trapped within the
reservoir rocks of the Açu Formation, and secondarily of the Alagamar Formation itself.
Minor occurrences are also found in the reservoirs of the Ubarana Formation.

The Açu Formation reservoirs comprise alluvial and fluvial sandstones of Albian to
Cenomanian age with porosities ranging from 14 to 18%, and permeability around 700 md
to 1 Darcy (Fig. 3). The entrapment mechanisms are structural, mixed (structural and
stratigraphic), or paleo-geomorphic (Bertani et al., 1990). In the structural traps the
closure is provided by a combination of the regional dip of the strata with the drag
associated to reactivation of normal faults along the shoulders of the onshore grabens (e.g.
Estreito field). In the mixed traps, besides the structural component, lateral facies changes
also play an important role in the entrapment of oil (e.g. Canto do Amaro field). There are
also paleogeomorphic traps, which consists of alluvial fans associated to the flanks of
basement paleohighs (e.g. Fig. 71, Fazenda Belém Field). The seal is provided by the pelitic
levels within the Açu Formation.

The Alagamar Formation reservoirs comprise deltaic sandstones of Aptian age, with
porosities ranging from 12 to 16% (Bertani et al., 1990). The traps consist of homoclinal
structures truncated by marine canyons and domic structures associated to transcurrent
faults. In the former case, the canyon infill which is composed of the Ubarana Formation
marine shales, provides the seal (e.g. Ubarana field, see cross section above), while in later
the petroleum accumulations are sealed by carbonates and shales of the Alagamar
Formation itself (e.g. Pescada, RNS-33 areas).

The Ubarana Formation reservoirs of Upper Cretaceous to Tertiary age, are turbiditic
sandstones deposited in the canyons and depressions around the basin. They presented
porosities ranging from 20 to 25% and permeability above 1 Darcy (Bertani et al., 1990)..
The petroleum accumulations (e.g. Agulha field) are stratigraphically entrapped, being
sealed by the marine shales of the same formation (Fig. 71). These turbidities must occur
widespread around the basin, but has not been well understood. For deep-water siliciclastic
reservoirs, sediment provenance, distributions pathways and siesmostratigraphic models
are vital information. Therefore, detailed studies must be carried out aiming to understand
the distribution and occurrence of siliciclastic turbidity reservoirs, from the Ubarana
Formation, in the Potiguar Basin. The integration of the migration pathways of the
Alagamar petroleum system with the knowledge of the delivery transport mechanism of the
deep water turbidity sandstones of the Ubarana Formation can help the identification of
prospective areas independent of structural controls in the Potiguar Basin.

5. PROCESSES OF THE PETROLEUM SYSTEMS (MODELING)

This session brings a summary of the analysis and results of a 2D petroleum systems
simulation along a regional geological section, located in the offshore portion of the Potiguar
basin, as displayed in Figure 73. To perform the simulation it was used the program
PETROMOD, which accounts for the compositional aspects, as well as the investigation of
the amount of hydrocarbons that were derived from each different source rock interval. In
this regard, it was remarkable to verify the relationship between oil mixtures among distinct
source units present in the Potiguar basin (Pendência and Alagamar Formations). A more
detailed presentation of the results of the modeling is shown on the Appendix of this report.

5.1. Geological Characteristics

The 2D model was built along two seismic lines (58-0858 & 222-0381) in the offshore
region of the Potiguar basin (Figures: 73, 74, and 75). The cross section cuts through the
main offshore geologic provinces in a SW-NE orientation, and therefore is expected to
represent the main parameters and characteristics of the petroleum systems in that region.
The section crosses 4 relevant wells (1-RNS-22, 1-RNS-28, 3-RNS-86, and 4-RNS-55, see
Figure 75), which were useful for calibration purposes, together with other regional data.

As a result of the depth conversion process a total depth of about 7000 m of sediments is
suggested to occur in the deepest offshore depocenter along the line (Figure 75). One
important aspect of the modeling along this cross section is the fact that the Alagamar
Formation was interpreted as being absent or eroded in the region of the deepest
depocenter. Despite that, regional studies suggest that the Alagamar Formation may occur
in the nearby region (Souza, 1982; Figueiredo, 1985; Bruhn et al., 1988; Trindade et al.,
1992; Penteado, 1996).

It is important to consider that the results of any 2D model have their intrinsic limitations
when it comes to aspects such as volumes of hydrocarbons and relative importance of the
petroleum systems present in the basin. As a general rule, it is fundamental to consider
these limiting aspects of 2D models when considering an exploration assessment for the
basin.

modeling in this study.

Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

The section was sub-divided into structural domains, named: (1) shallow platform domain;
(2) deep-platform domain, (3) slope and; (4) deep basin domain (Figure 75).

The geometry of the cross section demonstrates that the region doesn’t show very complex
geologic evolution, despite a large number of unconformities. It can be observed a lower
sedimentary package, composed of typical rift-related interval and deformed by basement
tectonics, superimposed by a thick drift megasequence. In this region of the Brazilian coast
the absence of salt layers in the transitional sequences, which usually deforms drastically
the drift sequences, made the paleo-reconstructions through geologic history much easier to
be accomplished during the simulation process.

Most of the structural deformations are present in the lower portion of the section and are
related to the rift and early drift tectonic activities. Bruhn et al. (1988) mentioned that the
Potiguar basin evolved in a strike-slip (transtensional) stress regime during the rift phase,
and which kept the same style in subsequent periods of re-activation in the early drift
phase. In fact, this style of deformation is also quite distinct from what is observed in the
basins of the eastern margin, and consequently, the processes of sedimentary infilling of
both regions were also quite different.

The only structurally deformed zone along the cross section occurs in the Pescada-
Arabaiana region, which is the area of wells 3-RNS-86 and 4-RNS-55, where a series of
basement blocks are tilted in a synthetic geometry. This prominent deformed zone was
formed during the early drift phase of the basin, and developed under a strike-slip regime,
as mentioned earlier (Bruhn et al., 1988). The Pescada-Arabaiana gas fields occur
associated with this important structural zone and represent an important gas cluster in the
offshore region of the Potiguar basin.

The Potiguar basin shows many unconformities in the offshore portion of the drift sequences
with a large number of scouring features easily recognized in seismic lines. The most
prominent unconformity is called “Pre-Ubarana unconformity”. This outstanding horizon is
diachronous and is located at the base of the Ubarana Formation. Figure 74 shows the
“Pre-Ubarana Unconformity” cutting the Jandaira and Alagamar Formations, creating
juxtaposition between the Ubarana and the Pendência/Pescada Formations in the deep
water area.
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

It is quite unknown in the offshore region of the Potiguar basin the presence of clastic
reservoirs derived from large turbidite deposits, as so frequently observed along the eastern
marginal basins of Brazil, such as in Santos, Campos, Espírito Santo and Sergipe-Alagoas,
for example. Despite that, the offshore Ubarana field demonstrates that this type of
reservoir is present in the area and might also be present in a few intervals in other areas.
The presence of a sandy onshore province, formed by the Açu formation fluvial deposits, the
occurrence of an uplift of the continental area during the Upper Cretaceous/Tertiary, and a
large number of erosional intervals in the offshore region suggest that turbidite deposits of
this age might be present in certain areas of the deep water realm. The classic seismic
facies of turbidite reservoirs were not recognized along this section (Figure 74)., but in the
present model it was included one such reservoir in the lower portion of the Ubarana
Formation to investigate the generic behavior of this key element of the petroleum systems
in the drift megasequence (Figure 75).

Along the section the main reservoirs were interpreted in the Pendência/Pescada and
Alagamar sections, structured in the Pescada-Arabaiana region, and in the Ubarana
Formation as deep water turbidites. These reservoirs show good connection with the
potential source rock intervals by means of fault zones. Regarding the deep water
turbidites inside the Ubarana Formation it is observed a direct communication by means of a
series of faults between these turbidite reservoirs and the source rock intervals of the
Alagamar and Pendência/Pescada Formations (Figures 74 & 75).

The source rock distribution, Figure 77 shows that the thickest sequence along this geologic
cross section is the Pendência Formation. Despite that, the Alagamar is also present with
three intervals with relatively high potential for hydrocarbon generation, as depicted on
Figure 78.

5.2. Calibration

The calibration of the model was performed using data derived from wells located along the
section, as well as located in the nearby region, and were able to provide reasonable
insights into the thermal conditions of this geologic province. The main information used to
calibrate the results of this study were Rock-Eval, vitrinite reflectance, and present-day
temperatures at subsurface.

Figure 79 shows present-day temperatures along the whole cross section. The isotherms
shows a parallel contour related to the seafloor and basement. These values were
controlled by regional data. As expected, the calculated vitrinite reflectance shows variable
conditions of maturation along the section due to variable depths of the source rocks, as
seen on Figure 80, which was also calibrated using regional information.

The calibration control of this model was performed in the shallow and deep platform areas,
and in the deep basin domain there are no wells drilled up to this moment. Figures 83 & 84
show a present-day and paleo thermal calibration of well 1-RNS-22 located at the shallow
platform domain.

The kinetics for transformation of the organic matter used for the Alagamar Formation
source rock units was of type II, and followed the quantitative approach of Behar et al.
(1997). The kinetics used for the Pendência Formation was of Type I, also estimated
according to the same previous author. These two types differ in a sense that the type II
shows a lower level of activation energy, and therefore it is able to start to generate
hydrocarbons in a lower thermal regime when compared to the type I kinetics.

Well 1-RNS-22, located in the shallow platform domain, shows a very immature stage of
thermal evolution (Vitrinite Reflectance of about 0.6), as depicted on Figure 83. The
Alagamar Formation shows rate of organic matter transformation of about 5%. The
Pendência source rock unit doesn’t occur in this domain along this geologic cross section.

In contrast, well 3-RNS-86, located in the deep platform domain, shows a present-day oil
window thermal stage for both formations (Figures 84 & 85). Regional data regarding
present-day temperatures and vitrinite reflectance data were used to calibrate the thermal
evolution at this point along the section (Figure 86). The calculated transformation ratio of
the organic matter at this point of the section reaches about 26% for the Alagamar (CPT)
source rock unit (Figure 87) and 44% for the Pendência source rock units (Figure 88).
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

The following figures (from 89 to 90) refer to thermal calculations in pseudo-wells in the
slope and deep-basin domains. Calibration data are not available to validate the
calculations in these domains, but the values obtained are not very different from what
would be expected for these regions. The slope and deep basin domains can be
characterized as gas prone areas. Important to notice is the absence of the prolific source
rocks of the Alagamar Formation in the deep basin domain, interpreted along this section.
This doesn’t seem to be a generic case or spatial distribution of the Alagamar Formation for
the whole Potiguar basin, as suggested by Trindade et al. (1992). As mentioned before, the
geologic interpretation was restricted to the geometries observed along the chosen seismic
lines.

5.3. Results

This session describes the main results and exploratory consequences obtained from the
simulations. Much of the discussion regarding the maturation aspects were already
presented in the previous calibration session.

5.3.1. Maturation

The maturation of the organic matter can be observed in Figure 80, which depicts the
calculated and calibrated vitrinite reflectance along the whole cross section. The shallow-
platform domain, in which the Pendência source rocks were not interpreted, cannot be
considered a source area. The vitrinite reflectance data indicate an immature stage of
thermal development and is well calibrated with well data. In contrast, the deep platform
domain shows both source rock formations in the oil window at present-day. This is an
optimum scenario for present-day processes of migration, accumulation and preservation of
freshly generated petroleum. The thermal calculations performed in this domain were also
reasonably calibrated with well data.

In the slope and deep basin domains there are no well data to calibrate the simulations but
the values achieved are reasonable to accept and indicate to be light oil to gas prone region.
It is geometrically lower than the others and is able to source reasonable amounts of
hydrocarbons to the shallower sequences. Most of the hydrocarbons generated in the
model in that region are derived from the Pendência source rock because along this 2D
model the Alagamar was interpreted to be absent in the deep basin domain.

The graphs of transformation ratio suggest a steep increase in the process of generation
after 16 Ma, which is an age that accounts for sedimentation of the Upper part of the
Ubarana Formation.

5.3.2. Migration

It is of common sense in petroleum exploration the concept that the geological conditions
that would be most favorable for migration in a sedimentary basin are created when
hydrocarbons are being generated at the same time as structural deformations are taking
place. Under this special condition a large volume of the migrated hydrocarbons would flow
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

through active fault zones. Fault zones tend to keep an open pathway for migration while
they are still active and tend to seal with time due to precipitation of veins as fluid pressure
decrease.

In the case of the Potiguar basin most of the regional fault activity, such as the Pescada-
Arabaiana Fault System, took place during the rift phase (145 to 118 Ma) as well as in the
beginning of the drift phase (115- 100 Ma). During this time period the stage of maturation
of the source rock pods had achieved very low level of organic matter transformation. As
mentioned above, the bulk of the thermal transformation of the source rocks started at 16
Ma, and during this time the fault zones were not highly active any more.

Long range migration is usually achieved when widespread carrier layers are present in the
basin. The Potiguar basin shows the presence of such layers, as for example, the
sandstones present in the Alagamar Formation. In fact, the high resolution analyses of the
oils (session 4 of this study) suggest that large range migration would be one primary
characteristic of the petroleum systems in the Potiguar basin. Accordingly, the model also
demonstrates the strong effect of the lateral migration along the Alagamar sandstones as a
major carrier bed (Figure 92).

The simulation showed that both concepts, vertical migration through fault zones (although
not active) and long range migration through carrier beds, can be active in the Potiguar
basin. The simulation process cannot directly discriminate the hydrodynamic behavior of
fault zones, but changing the properties of these zones it can be achieved a better
adjustment of the present day accumulations with the ones calculated by the model. The
simulations indicate that the fault zones can still be active conduits for petroleum migration,
once they allowed the filling of a few accumulations in the Pescada-Arabaiana region, as
well as in the Ubarana turbidites. The long range lateral migration along the Alagamar
Formation was also observed, once it forms a continuous, permeable and tilted layer.

The model shows a key aspect of the fluid migration through fault zones where sediments
occurs juxtaposed with basement rocks, as observed on the west side of the deep platform
domain (Figure 93). This is the case of the Pescada-Arabaiana Fault System. The
compaction of sediments forced fluids out of the pore spaces while in the basement rocks
this process didn’t occur. The end result of this differential compaction is the process of
fluid migration along the border of the two lithologic regions, forcing the fault zones to be
active pathways of fluid migration (Figure 93). The petroleum that would eventually reach
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

this area would easily migrate upwards, with its extra driving force derived from the
buoyancy forces.

5.3.3. Accumulation

Most of the petroleum accumulations in the model were located in the lower and deeper
sedimentary sequences and were formed in structural traps. Such is the case of the
Pescada-Arabaiana region and even the turbidite body of the Ubarana Formation (Figure
94).

Mixtures of medium oils derived from the Pendência and Alagamar/Galinhos Formation were
achieved in the traps of the Pescada-Arabaiana structure (Figures 95 & 96). The deep basin
shows the occurrence of gas, derived from the Pendência Formation, as shown by Figure 97.
The slope domain also shows the occurrence of one structural trap which was filled with
liquid hydrocarbons derived from the Alagamar Formation (Galinhos Mb; Figure 98).
 Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

Figure 92: Lateral migration along the Alagamar Formation is observed in the model and played a
major role conducting petroleum generated at deep pods to shallower levels.

Figure 93: Differential compaction between these two domains forces fluids to migrate upwards through
the fault zone. This process suggests that these fault zones might be active conduits for petroleum
migration.

distance of the potential biodegradation zone. The same is not true when the shallow
platform and onshore region are considered, as it can be seen on the left side of the
section.
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

5.3.4. Preservation

Most of the petroleum accumulations shown by the model occur in the deepest sedimentary
sequences of the offshore part of the basin and therefore occur quite separated from lower
temperatures that could allow the process of biodegradation to take place. Figure 99 shows
the temperature distribution associated with the main accumulations of the model. The
same is not true in the onshore region, where it shows many heavy oil accumulations
caused by biodegradation.

5.3.5. Modeling conclusions

In summary, the model demonstrates that the Potiguar basin can be considered a ‘
“charged” basin, with 4 source rock levels from the Pendência and Alagamar Formations.

The fault systems were active conduits for petroleum migration, as well as the Alagamar
carrier beds allowed lateral migration to occur over large distances.

As the analysis of high resolution geochemistry demonstrates the Alagamar oil families are
distributed throughout the Potiguar basin and the model demonstrates that, although these
source rocks are not very thick they can achieve excellent degrees of maturation and
migrate easily across the basin.

The deep basin can be characterized as light oil to gas prone region.

The vertical proximity of all source rock units make them quite similar in terms of
maturation history. The hydrocarbons derived from them will vary as a function of their
thickness and distribution regarding the migration pathways.

As a charged basin, the exploratory effort in the offshore portion of the Potiguar basin
should concentrate on the characterization of potential reservoirs and subtle traps.
Therefore, the reservoir and the trap geometry would represent the highest risk parameters
for exploratory projects in this basin.

6. CONCLUSIONS & EXPLORATORY IMPLICATIONS

High-resolution geochemical results from 45 selected oil samples spanning all the oil types
identified in the Potiguar basin and their putative source rocks selected from 17 wells were
used to form a detailed investigation of the petroleum systems in that basin. One
compositional 2D modeling was also performed along a regional representative cross section
in the offshore region in order to integrate all the geochemical data with the geologic
evolution of the area, and was used to integrate all geological and detailed geochemical
data. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize the active petroleum
systems present in the Potiguar Basin.

The source rocks of the lacustrine Pendência and Alagamar, and marine Alagamar Formations
have only been documented in few wells, although lacustrine and marine oils have been
identified in the onshore and offshore areas of the Potiguar Basin. The drilling of organic-rich
sections of the Pendência and Alagamar formations has been restricted to the onshore and
shallow water areas, where they were found to be composed of low to medium thermal
evolution. As a result, the active source rocks within the offshore area of the basin have only
been recovered in very few wells located in shallow waters. Nevertheless, the occurrence of
organic-rich facies in onshore and near shore areas, along with seismic and gravimetric data,
suggests the existence of a series of onshore and offshore depocenters throughout the
Potiguar Basin, with potential active pods for hydrocarbon generation. The natural series and
modeling data suggest that peak generation conditions were reached at depths ranging from
1500-2000m onshore e 3,000m to 3,500 m in offshore areas. At these depths, source rocks
have attained peak stage of thermal evolution to generate significant amounts of oils and fair
volumes of gas, indicating the Potiguar Basin as an light oil-prone province.

The integration of the geochemical data with geological and seismic information indicates
the presence of two main well-recognized petroleum systems in the Potiguar Basin: the
Pendência (!) Petroleum system composed of Neocomian black shales deposited in a pre-
salt lacustrine freshwater rift-sequence from the Pendência Formation; and the Alagamar-
Açu (!) Petroleum system, which is composed of a mixture of lacustrine and transitional
marine source rocks ranging in age from Aptian to Albo-Cenomanian.

Three distinct source rocks units are recognized in the Alagamar-Açu petroleum system,
which are the composed of black shales and marls deposited in a transitional
lacustrine/shallow marine hypersaline/ carbonate water sequences of the: (1) Upanema
Member (Lower Aptian lacustrine brackish water); (2) Camadas Ponta do Tubarão Member
(CPT-Upper Aptian marine hypersaline) and; (3) the Galinhos Member (Albo-Cenomanian
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

marine carbonate) of the Alagamar Formation. The high resolution geochemical data, such
as biomarkers and diamondoid analyses, coupled with 2D modeling studies suggest that all
the three oil types of the Alagamar system (lacustrine, marine hypersaline and marine
carbonate) are usually mixed in most of the accumulations analyzed and therefore were
grouped into a single petroleum system - Alagamar-Açu (!). Variations in oil quality within
these families occur due to large differences in oil maturities, biodegradation and mixtures
between biodegraded and non-biodegraded oils from different pulses derived sometimes
from different source rock units.

The source rocks of the onshore Pendência Formation charged most of the known lacustrine
accumulations of the onshore structural traps although no giant oil field from this petroleum
system has yet been found, neither onshore or offshore in the Potiguar Basin. Small to
medium size oils accumulations filled with this petroleum system were found in the Agulha,
Pescada and Arabaiana oil fields (offshore) and Três Marias, Riacho da Forquilha,
Livramento, Lorena, Serraria, Poço Xavier, Brejinho, Fazenda Malaquias, Baixa do Algodão,
Fazenda Canaã, among others (onshore). The presence of pods of generation from the
Pendência system in deepwater areas (see Pescada oil field in the modeling section) opens
up an entirely new way of looking oil/gas generation, migration and accumulation in deep
offshore areas of the basin.

In contrast, the other three source rocks of the Alagamar Formation, composed of lacustrine
(Upanema Member) and marine (CPT and Galinhos Members), are mostly generating in the
offshore region. From the offshore areas they have charged more than 500 million barrels
of marine hypersaline/ transitional oils to the onshore giant Canto do Amaro oil field, and
more than 100 million barrels of oils for the offshore Ubarana, Arabaiana and Carauna oil
fields. Nevertheless, no giant oil fields from the marine hypersaline system have yet been
found in the offshore part of the basin, but small to medium accumulations. By contrast
several small accumulations filled with this petroleum system were found in onshore oilfields
such as S. Miguel, Faz. S. João, Cajazeiras, Alto da Pedra, Redonda Profundo, Redonda,
Ponta do Mel, Conceição, Salina Cristal, Macau, Faz. Belém, Estreito de Panon, Alto do
Rodrigues, Monte Alegre, Faz. Pocinho, Palmeira, Guamaré, Macau and Lagoa do Aroeira,
among others. The spatial distribution of the generation pods of the Alagamar petroleum
system in the offshore region and the occurrence of oil accumulations in the onshore portion
of the basin characterize this petroleum system with long distance horizontal migration.
Moreover, the presence of overcharged pods of generation from the marine hypersaline
portion of the Alagamar system in deepwater areas opens up the chance for giant marine
oilfields in the offshore areas, and therefore a potential for new exploratory frontiers areas.
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

The geological and geochemical data suggest that the rift (Pendência) petroleum system
must be considered a secondary exploration target, having charged only oil fields of small
size. This concept is corroborated by the fact that the accumulations of lacustrine oils,
discovered, up to now, onshore/ offshore, are not filled to the spill point. On the other hand,
marine oils from the Alagamar Formation occur throughout the basin, and must be
considered the main exploratory target. Moreover, these oils represent about 90% of the
total recovered hydrocarbons, in the Potiguar Basin, compared to the lacustrine types.

The cracking measurements based on diamondoids and biomarkers for selected oils suggest
that they were generated in the peak to late stage of the oil window, and present mixing of
at least two migration pulses. Therefore, the Potiguar Basin can be classified as an oil-prone
basin, onshore and in the platform area. In the deep water realm gas and light oil must be
abundant, which is also corroborated by the 2D modeling in this study.

Biodegradation and oil mixing appear to have been important processes for all Potiguar
Basin due to the presence of bimodal n-alkane distribution and high Pr/ n-C17 n-alkanes.
However, mixing of biodegraded and non-biodegraded oils occurred with almost all marine
oils resulting on relatively good final oil quality.

This study also includes one quantitative model along a regional cross-section that takes
into account the main tectonic-sedimentary features the Potiguar Basin in the offshore
region. The section is located in the central offshore part of the basin and is oriented in a
SW-NE direction. The model was performed using the software package PETROMOD, which
accounts for the compositional characteristics of the generated hydrocarbons and assigns
them to specific source rocks.

The geologic section was sub-divided into 4 main structural domains: (1) a Shallow Platform
Domain, in which the basement is located at about 2000 meters; (2) a deeper portion of the
platform, in which the basement was interpreted to occur at about 4000 to 5000 meters is
referred in this report as the Deep-Platform Domain and is separated from the shallow
domain by an important strike-slip fault system called Pescada-Arabaiana; (3) the Slope
Domain located in the present day slope of the basin, and; (4) the Deep Basin Domain,
located at the deep-water province.

The most pronounced geological structure along this section is the Pescada-Arabaiana fault
system, which places basement rocks adjacent to sedimentary rocks by means of
normal/strike-slip displacements. The cross section also shows a series of faults occurring at
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

the oldest and deepest sequences only. Sedimentary sequences younger than about 80 My
are not recognized in the seismic sections as being intensively deformed by basement
tectonics. Similarly to most of the large fault systems along the equatorial margin of Brazil
the fault system of the Pescada- Arabaiana and other systems along the cross-section were
originated as normal faults and were later reactivated during the drift phase as strike-slip
systems. No salt structures are observed in this basin.

Four source rock units were considered in the modeling of this section: (1) the thickest and
oldest unit was deposited in a lacustrine fresh/ brackish-water environment of the
Pendência Formation during the Barremian/Neocomian; (2) a thinner and younger one,
Alagamar Fm. Upanema Mb., which was deposited in a transitional/rift phase in a marine
hypersaline environment during the Aptian, (3) a third unit also of the Alagamar Formation,
CPT (Camadas Ponta do Tubarão) Member, which was deposited in an open marine
environment with carbonate influence, also during the Aptian, and ; (4) the youngest source
rock unit of the Galinhos Member of the same Alagamar Formation, which was deposited
during the Albian Cenomanian in an open marine system with carbonate influence.

The vitrinite reflectance profile throughout the section shows that all the main source rock
units are immature in the Shallow Platform Domain and become gradually mature as they
dip into the eastward domains of the Deep-Platform, Slope and Deep Basin Domains. The
transformation ratio of the source rocks follows the same trend of the vitrinite reflectance
distribution and characterizes the deepest portions of the basin as presently being in the oil
and gas windows. The Deep Platform and Slope Domains are characterized as oil prone
areas, whereas the deepest region of the Deep Basin Domain shows a gas prone region.
The present-day isotherms show a parallel geometry with respect to the seafloor and
basement morphology.

The main phases of maturation and hydrocarbon expulsion of the Pendência source rock
unit took place during the Tertiary, starting to expel hydrocarbons at about 50 millions of
years in the deepest portion of the Deep Platform Domain. Regarding the Alagamar
Formation source rock units, the main phases of maturation and hydrocarbon expulsion
observed in the model was achieved in the last tens of millions of years. It is observed an
intense growth in the transformation ratio of the organic matter of all source rock units at
about 16 million years.

The migration characteristics observed in the model were horizontal displacements along
carrier beds of the transitional sequences and vertical displacements along fault zones,
which were assigned as migration pathways in the model. This migration patterns agrees
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

with the spatial distribution of pods and hydrocarbon accumulations characterized by the
high-resolution geochemistry dataset. At present day, it is observed relatively widespread
hydrocarbon saturation throughout the rift and transitional sequences. The main
hydrocarbon accumulations in the model are located in the lower sequences although some
reservoirs placed in the lower drift sequences were also saturated with hydrocarbons.

The Pescada-Arabaiana fault system places basement rocks adjacent to sedimentary rocks,
and was assigned as active conduits in the model. This spatial arrangement of basement
rocks adjacent to sedimentary rocks allows this latter to be compacted and forced to expel
porous fluids migrating upwards along the boundary between the two lithology terrains.
Characterizing this important fault system in this manner in the model made it behave as a
major controlling parameter for petroleum migration. Long distance lateral migration was
also observed in the model taking place mainly along carrier beds of the transitional
sequences (Alagamar Formation).

Considering the absence of faults in the upper portion of the drift sequences of the modeled
section the seafloor leakage of hydrocarbons to the surface of the sediments is not
predicted in the offshore area. Substantial accumulations of hydrocarbons in the offshore
region developed in the deep portions of the basin. Their composition is a variable
combination of the transitional and rift source rocks.

The main accumulations of hydrocarbons in the model are located below the potential zone
of biodegradation. The results suggest that the main phases of generation and migration of
the rift source rocks of the Pendência Formation in the slope and deep water region range
from around present-day and 50 My, whereas the lacustrine and marine source rocks of the
Alagamar Formation started generation around 20 My reaching peak generation at present
day. Despite the over mature stage of thermal evolution in the Deep Platform Domain that
province is still displaying the presence of oil (predominantly) whereas the Deep Basin
Domain shows the presence of gas.

The structural lows located in deep offshore areas of the Potiguar Basin acted as the main
depocenters for the Aptian/Albian marine hypersaline source rock systems. The 2D
modeling shows that this system is still active and presents variable degrees of thermal
maturity, generating liquid hydrocarbons in most parts of the basin.

As concluding remarks, the following exploratory implications can be extracted from this
work on the Potiguar basin:
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

1 - The petroleum systems of the rift Pendência Formation had its critical moment during
the Lower Tertiary, and therefore it was able to charge reservoirs younger than the
Pendência Formation. The lacustrine oils are present in the southern, central and western
parts of the basin, occurring mainly onshore, and despite representing only 15-25% of the
total oil in place discovered up to now they can not be ruled out as a prolific play deep
offshore. Despite that observation derived from sampled hydrocarbons the simulation shows
that the Pendência source rock units can represent an important source of hydrocarbons in
the offshore region. It is worth to mention that this petroleum system represents a high-
risk target for liquid hydrocarbons in the platform and deeply buried areas where a gas-
prone system would be expected.

2- The Alagamar organic-rich rocks are immature along all the onshore part of the basin
and at peak generation in most of the deeper water parts of the basin, although it has not
been drilled. Therefore, it must be considered an important petroleum system for liquid
hydrocarbons in most deep and shallow water areas of the basin. The exploratory risk will
depend upon the presence of the reservoirs and traps elements.

3-The Albian-Cenomanian system, representing the marine Galinhos Mb. source rocks of the
Alagamar formation has generated some sub-commercial liquid hydrocarbons accumulations
in the Potiguar Basin, such as the Arabaiana and part of the Pescada fields. Despite that, it
must be considered as a new frontier of exploration in the deep water realm of the Potiguar
Basin .

4- The most important petroleum system of the Potiguar Basin is the Alagamar system.
Although it has produced more then 90% of all the oil found up to now (predominantly the
marine hypersaline oil type), it is still relatively unexplored in the deep-water areas. The
occurrence of overcharged pods of generation in the deep-water lows suggests that giant
oilfields of this system may occur offshore. Despite the problems related to migration into
younger reservoir sections, this source rock system must be considered as the most
important source for charging deep-water turbidities in the Potiguar Basin. It is worth to
pinpoint the gas-prone character of all the eastern area of the basin, where liquids have
been cracked due to a very high thermal evolution stage.

5- The reservoir and trap geometry represent the highest risk parameters for exploratory
projects in this basin. Most of the known hydrocarbon accumulations in this basin occur in
structural traps of the Açu and Pendência sequences. As this study characterizes this basin
as a overcharged one, the exploratory effort in the offshore portion of the Potiguar Basin
Petroleum Systems of the Potiguar Basin

should concentrate efforts in the identification and characterization of potential structural

reservoirs and subtle stratigraphically controlled traps.

 Main Aspects of Maturation
- Summary -

a. The maturation of hydrocarbons along the cross section

modeled was restricted to the Deep Platform, Slope and
Deep Basin Domains.

b. In the Deep Basin Domain the maturation characteristics

indicate a gas prone region, whereas the Slope and Deep
Platform Domains would represent oil prone areas.

c. It was observed a significant increase in the maturation

process in these domains at about 16 Million of years.
4- Migration Analysis

This image shows the saturation of liquid hydrocarbons along the cross section. It

 4- Migration Analysis
- Gas saturations at present-day

Shallow Platform Deep Platform Slope Deep basin

This image shows the saturation of gaseous hydrocarbons along the cross section. It can
be observed a concentration of this type of hydrocarbons in the Deep Basin Domain.
 4- Migration Analysis
Shallow Platform Domain

The Shallow Platform Domain shows no hydrocarbon saturation at present-day along this
section. The Pescada-Arabaiana Fault System behave as preferred migration pathway due
to differential compaction between basement rocks and sediments. The water flow
represented by the blue arrows display this peculiar hydraulic behavior.
 4- Migration Analysis
Deep Platform Domain

Hydrocarbon saturation occurs in the Deep Platform Domain, mainly accumulated in

structural traps. The structural lows generated by the Pescada-Arabaiana fault system are
the main pods of hydrocarbon generation.
 4- Migration Analysis
Deep Platform Domain 16 Ma

As shown previously, the Deep Platform Domain started to show hydrocarbon

generation at approximately 16 Million of years.
 4- Migration Analysis
Deep Platform Domain 16 Ma

Lateral migration of liquid hydrocarbons is observed carrier beds located in the

transitional sequences of the Alagamar Formation.
 4- Migration Analysis
Deep Platform Domain

This image shows the main petroleum accumulations modeled in the Deep Platform
Domain, accumulated in structural traps. The hydraulic behavior of the faults is the main
controlling parameter of these accumulations.
 4- Migration Analysis
Slope and Deep Basin Domains Present day

This figure shows gaseous hydrocarbon saturations in the Deep Basin Domain and a small
liquid hydrocarbon accumulation on the crest of the main basement structure in that region
of the section.
 4- Migration Analysis
Slope and Deep Basin Domains Present day

At present day, the Slope and Deep Basin Domains show liquid and gaseous
accumulations of petroleum, as seen in the structural traps of the section.
 4- Migration Analysis
Slope and Deep Basin Domains Present day

At approximately 16 My this region of the cross section was not showing the occurrence of
significant generation of hydrocarbons. As shown before, at about this time the Pendência
and Alagamar source rock units started to generate at a high rate.
 4- Migration Analysis
Excess Hydraulic Pressure 40 My

The modeling indicates the formation of a slight pressure cell at the Deep Basin Domain at
about 40 My.
 4- Migration Analysis
Excess Hydraulic Pressure Present day

At present day the pressure cell is still present. The formation of a this cell at the Deep
Basin Domain was due to the large amount of shales deposited and its associated
compaction.

 Main Aspects of Migration
- Summary -

a. The main pods of generation and migration were the Deep

Platform, Slope and Deep Basin Domains.

b. Most of the hydrocarbons observed today along the

modeled cross section was formed after 16 My.

c. The relatively thin layers of sands and carbonates of the

transitional sequences (Alagamar Fm.) showed as relevant
carrier beds for lateral migration of hydrocarbons.

d. The Pescada-Arabaiana fault system acted as important

migration pathway due to differential compaction between
the basement and adjacent sedimentary rocks.
 cont... Main Aspects of Migration
- Summary -

e. A small pressure cell was generated in the Deep Basin

Domain due to the deposition and compaction of shales.

f. Practically, all the hydrocarbons observed along the modeled

section were generated, migrated and accumulated after 16
million of years.

- Summary -

1. Most of the hydrocarbon accumulations are located in the lower

sequences of the rift, transitional and lower drift sequences.

2. Most of the hydrocarbons shown in the model were derived from the
Pendência Formation, although there is also considerable volume
derived from the Alagamar Fm. Oserve that volumetrics are not
precisely assessed in 2D models.

- Accumulations in the Inset 1 (gas)

This deep gas accumulation

Rift source rocks of the

 6- Biodegradation Risk
- Present-day distribution of the potential biodegradation zone
(range of 40ºC to 70ºC)

The hydrocarbon accumulations along this section are located at great vertical distance of
the potential biodegradation zone. The same is not true when the shallow platform and
onshore region are considered, as it can be seen on the left side of the section.
 7- Conclusions

♦ As exemplified by this model the Potiguar Basin shows itself

as a charged basin, with few relevant source rock units
contributing for many hydrocarbon plays.
♦ The fault systems can be considered as very important
migration pathways to the younger sequences.
♦ Likewise, the fault systems are mostly abundant in the lower
sequences and can represent a lack of direct communication
between the source rock units and the younger Tertiary
sequences.
♦ The model represents the geologic process that affect the
petroleum systems along the offshore portion of the Potiguar
Basin. The onshore portion, which was affected by regional
uplift at the Upper Cretaceous certainly shows other petroleum
systems characteristics that are not present in the offshore
region.
 cont... 7- Conclusions

♦ In all studied domains along this geologic cross section the

main pulse of migration occurred at about 16 My.

♦ The source rock units are immature in the Shallow Platform

Domain and become gradually mature towards the Deep Basin
Domain.
♦ Although the Alagamar source rock units are relatively thin
and interpreted with limited occurrence they represented a
relevant source of hydrocarbons along this section. There are
uncertainties regarding the occurrence and/or thick relevance
of this formation in the Deep Basin Domain.
♦ The Pendência source rocks accounted for most of the oil
generated and accumulated along the modeled section, and
was responsible for a large gas accumulation in the Deep
Basin Domain.
 cont... 7- Conclusions

♦ The vertical proximity of all source rock units make them quite
similar in terms of maturation history. The accumulated
hydrocarbons derived from them will vary as a function of their
thickness and distribution regarding the migration pathways.
♦ As observed in the model most of the accumulations occurred
in structural traps. As a charged basin, the exploratory effort in
the offshore portion of the Potiguar basin should concentrate
on the characterization of potential reservoirs and subtle traps.
Therefore, the reservoir and the trap geometry would represent
the highest risk parameters for exploratory projects in this
basin.
