Possible opportunities associated with interbedded of fine sandstone in structured fans from
shale tectonics . Note bioconstruction of bacteria near the seafloor, thus representing a
direct hydrocarbons indication (DHI).

• Exploration Overview
• Tectonostratigraphic Evolution
• Petroleum Systems
• Plays
• Analogous Exploration Successes
• Area on Offer
• Final Remarks
Final Remarks
• Frontier Basin almost unexplored but highly promising due to the
numerous hydrocarbon shows and wells with discoveries;
• Recent discoveries in West African Margin, replicated in French
Guyana, corroborate the oil potential of the Brazilian Equatorial
Margin, and therefore in Foz do Amazonas Basin;
• High-resolution seismic (3D)  essential for the identification of
stratigraphic traps;
Final Remarks
• Technical studies promoted by ANP  Late Cretaceous turbidites of
Limoeiro Formation in stratigraphic and structural traps, similar to
Zaedyus and Jubilee;
• For the area on offer, in situ volumes estimated are 14 billion barrels
of oil and 40 TCF of gas.
