UNRAVELING MAGMATIC ACTIVITY IN SEDIMENTARY BASINS: SILLS AND RELATED BRITTLE STRUCTURES AFFECTING CAMPOS BASIN PETROLEUM SYSTEM (SE BRAZIL)
View through CrossRef
Historically, volcanic basins have been avoided by oil and gas companies for hydrocarbon exploration, due to high rates of unsuccessful cases, mainly when magmatic suites were unexpected. Furthermore, igneous rocks have always been considered harmful to petroleum systems. However, in the past two decades, researches regarding these systems in volcanic basins have shown a number of positive effects, as increasing permeability of tight rocks, and generation of traps. This work aims to investigate the occurrence and impacts of igneous intrusions on sedimentary basins regarding the reservoir and trap elements. For that, we use eight 2D seismic lines and five wells within the Papa-Terra field, southern Campos Basin, Brazil. Applying seismic stratigraphy, nineteen sills were identified, most of them have saucer-shaped geometries, but they are also planar. We have identified some possible joint connections in the NW sill complex, as well as a possible feeder dyke. Five sills are located right below two domal structures in the overburden, which were interpreted as forced-folds. There are fractures interpreted in the sills’ boundaries and in folded sediments. Some of the fractures in the sills boundaries were interpreted as hydrothermal vents that were active until Upper Cretaceous. The contribution of this study is a documentation of an offshore volcanic basin related to a proven petroleum system in the south Atlantic, which has been neglected by Brazilian researchers over the years.

Description:
Historically, volcanic basins have been avoided by oil and gas companies for hydrocarbon exploration, due to high rates of unsuccessful cases, mainly when magmatic suites were unexpected.
Furthermore, igneous rocks have always been considered harmful to petroleum systems.
However, in the past two decades, researches regarding these systems in volcanic basins have shown a number of positive effects, as increasing permeability of tight rocks, and generation of traps.
This work aims to investigate the occurrence and impacts of igneous intrusions on sedimentary basins regarding the reservoir and trap elements.
For that, we use eight 2D seismic lines and five wells within the Papa-Terra field, southern Campos Basin, Brazil.
Applying seismic stratigraphy, nineteen sills were identified, most of them have saucer-shaped geometries, but they are also planar.
We have identified some possible joint connections in the NW sill complex, as well as a possible feeder dyke.
Five sills are located right below two domal structures in the overburden, which were interpreted as forced-folds.
There are fractures interpreted in the sills’ boundaries and in folded sediments.
Some of the fractures in the sills boundaries were interpreted as hydrothermal vents that were active until Upper Cretaceous.
The contribution of this study is a documentation of an offshore volcanic basin related to a proven petroleum system in the south Atlantic, which has been neglected by Brazilian researchers over the years.
