An exploratory “reality”:
no oil fields in the paleozoic basins!
Geologist and geophysicist need to search new exploratory areas
Lessons learned: Brazil and Petrobras needed Geologist and training program

7. End of 60´s
No perspectives for self-sufficiency
Search of a New Exploration
Scenario for Prospection
Geologist and Geophysicist must learn how
to discovery oil in Offshore Sedimentary Basin
Technology and Training Program

8. Technological Innovation
Digital Technology and First Brazilian Processing Center (1968)
Petrobras made a Geophysical Prospection in a Regional Scale at Brazilian
Continental Platform to map new exploratory prospects (Digital 2D Seismic)
To reveal the first Offshore Oil Prospects (Guaricema, Garoupa, Namorado,…)
Petroleum industry worldwide start to incorporated Digital
Technology to improve Seismic Resolution and Exploratory Results.

1975 Namorado Field
The first giant in turbidite reservoirs
2D Seismic interpretation revealed the first giant oilfield at Campos basin.
The first result with Seismic Attribute Technology to identify reservoir with oil,
like a Direct Hydrocarbon Identification (DHI).

12. End of 70´s
Geologist and Geophysicist worldwide works to increase
Exploratory Success Rate using 3D Seismic Technology
Petrobras Geologist and Geophysicist after Guaricema,
Namorado e Marlim oilfields discovered start to use 3D
seismic technology to address Self-Sufficiency challenge

13. From Cherne (1978) to Tupi (2001)
3D Seismic Technology
Key technology for E&P
30 Campos basin oilfields discovered

Continuing internal training programs
Geologist and geophysicist worldwide and at Petrobras
incorporated Digital and 3D Seismic Technologies increasing
Exploratory Success Rate.

15. Self-Sufficiency Challenge require more
Agreements between Petrobras and Brazilian Universities
Master and Ph.D. programs on Geophysics,
Petrology, Sedimentology.
Intensive training abroad:
Geophysics Ph.D. programs
Advances on Stratigraphy and Seismic-Stratigraphy
Capacitation in turbidites - Field courses

Tectonics and basin modelling

16. Marlim, a giant in deep waters
1985
2,7 Billions barrels of reserves
• Geological Models for deep water
siliciclastic systems supported seismic
acquisition/processing in deep water
Petrobras seismic processing technology
(DEFANINST), shows that the original position of the
first well at Marlim was placed not in the best position.
After seismic re-processing the RJS-219 well was
placed in the discovery position.

20. 4D Seismic Technology at Marlim oilfield
A key technology for Petrobras´s E&P Strategic Recovery Program
Marlim oilfield recovery factor increased
from 35 to 65% due to 4D and
in-fill drilling program.
4D Seismic technology
allows reservoir management
to identify oil not yet produced. Water injection

36. Challenges for geologist and geophysicist
To find supergiant and giant oilfield is NOT impossible!
To discovery small and middle size oilfield with production
facilities established could be very good business.
Companies with more than 300 oilfields need always to
optimize fields Recovery Factor with new update technology.
For search new exploratory frontiers and for optimize the
recovery factor we need geologist and geophysicist with
knowledge, motivation and open mind for new technologies.
Keep the integration between Geologist and Geophysicist
skills is a key value of Petrobras E&P expertise.

37. Conclusion
The successful history of petroleum exploration and production of Petrobras
was marked by paradigms breaks: hard work, determination, and competence
are the key elements.
Breaking paradigms is facing risks. Definitively Petrobras is not a risk-aversion
company.
The human mind, birthplace of creativity and knowledge and its continuous
development are the most valuable assets of Petrobras exploratory and
production process

38. Conclusion
The geologic and geophysical knowledge is the technical foundation for
Petrobras exploratory and production investments. It is based on the continuous
evaluation of Brazilian sedimentary basins as a whole, not only blocks. It is
supported by efficient training and technological development.
The commitment to Brazil and the Brazilian people is on the basis of Petrobras
employee enthusiasm.
Geophysical Technology and Geophysicist Community commitment are
fundamental elements for Petrobras E&P Activity.
