Sequence Stratigraphy, Facies Analysis And Paleoceanographic Events Of The Neogene Deep-Water Section In The Campos Basin, Offshore Brazil

The Campos Basin, situated offshore Rio de<br>Janeiro State, around 23 degrees latitude south,<br>has a total area around 100,000 Km2. It is the<br>most prolific basin in Brazil, with more than five<br>giant oil fields, of which at least four produce in<br>Neogene reservoirs.<br>This work was carried out in a thick deep-water<br>sedimentary section developed on the basin slope<br>during the Neogene and Upper Oligocene, using<br>3D seismic sections, well log correlations, cored<br>facies analyses, nanofossil biozones and<br>paleoecology (fig. 1).
