<p>Salt-bearing passive margin basins offshore SE Brazil have been and remain attractive for hydrocarbon exploration and production. In the Campos Basin, major reservoir types include post-salt turbidites, which are located in structural traps related to thin-skinned faulting above salt anticlines and rollers. Classic models of gravity-driven salt tectonics commonly depict kinematically linked zones of deformation, characterised by updip extension and downdip contraction, separated by a weakly deformed zone associated with downdip translation above a relatively smooth base-salt surface. We use 2D and 3D seismic reflection and borehole data from the south-central Campos Basin to show that this does not adequately capture the styles of salt-detached gravity-driven deformation above relict, rift-related relief. The base-salt surface is composed of elongated, broadly seaward-dipping ramps with structural relief reaching c. 2 km. These ramps define the boundary between the External High and the External Low, basement structures related to the rift tectonics. Local deformation associated with the base-salt ramps can overprint and/or influence regional, margin-scale patterns of deformation producing kinematically-variable and multiphase salt deformation. We define three domains of thin-skinned deformation: an updip extensional domain, subdivided into subdomains E1 and E2, an intermediate multiphase domain and a downdip contractional domain. The multiphase domain is composed of three types of salt structures with a hybrid extensional-contractional origin and evolution. These are: (i) contractional anticlines that were subjected to later extension and normal faulting; (ii) diapirs with passive and active growth later subjected to regional extension, developing landward-dipping normal faults on the landward flank; and, lastly, (iii) an extensional diapir that was subsequently squeezed. We argue that this multiphase style of deformation occurs as a consequence of base-salt geometry and relief creating local variations of salt flow that localize extension at the top and along the ramps, and contraction at the base. Translation and extension of salt and its overburden across major base-salt ramps resulted in three ramp syncline basins northeast of the study area, partially bounded by salt-detached listric faults. The temporal and spatial distribution and evolution of these and other key salt and overburden structures, and their relationship to base-salt relief, suggest 30 to 60 km of horizontal gravity-driven translation of salt and overburden.</p>

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. ATIVIDADE MAGMÁTICA EM BACIAS SEDIMENTARES: SOLEIRAS E FALHAS ASSOCIADAS QUE AFETAM O SISTEMA PETROLÍFERO DA BACIA DE CAMPOS (SE BRASIL) ResumoHistoricamente, as empresas de petróleo e gás evitam efectuar propecção de hidrocarbonetos em bacias afetadas por vulcanismo, devido a elevadas taxas de insucesso, principalmente quando os pacotes magmáticos são inesperados. Além disso, as intrusões de rochas ígneas sempre foram consideradas prejudiciais aos sistemas petrolíferos. No entanto, nas últimas duas décadas, pesquisas relacionadas a esses sistemas em bacias vulcânicas mostraram vários efeitos positivos, pois podem contribuir para o aumento da permeabilidade de rochas compactas e geração de armadilhas. Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar a ocorrência e os impactos de intrusões ígneas numa bacia sedimentar. Para isso, foram analisadas oito linhas sísmicas 2D e cinco poços no campo Papa-Terra, no sul da Bacia de Campos, Brasil. Aplicando a estratigrafia sísmica, foram identificadas dezanove soleiras, a maioria delas com geometrias em forma de pires, mas também planas. Foram identificadas algumas possíveis conexões no complexo da soleira NW, bem como um possível dique de alimentação. Cinco soleiras localizadas logo abaixo de duas estruturas em forma de doma correspondem possivelmente a dobras forçadas. Existem fraturas nos limites das soleiras e em sedimentos dobrados. Algumas das fraturas nos limites das soleiras poderão ter funcionado como ductos circulação hidrotermal que terão estado ativos até o Cretáceo Superior. Este estudo contribuiu para um melhor conhecimento de uma bacia vulcânica offshore relacionada a um sistema petrolífero comprovado no Atlântico Sul, a qual tem sido negligenciada por pesquisadores brasileiros ao longo dos anos. Palavras-chave: Vulcânica. Bacia Sedimentar. Soleira em forma de pires. Estratigrafia sísmica. Bacia Offshore. Margem Continental. Cretáceo Superior.
