Summary
The Santos Basin in southern Brazil became famous for the fabulous reserves of oil and gas in the Aptian microbialite reservoirs of the Pre-Salt Play. Super-giant fields such as Tupi and Búzios, and giant fields such as Sapinhoá and Mero, among others, produce 3.681 million boepd (November 2024). These fields and numbers blur the modest existence of different, but still effectively producing, oil and gas fields in the Post-Salt Plays. Numerous turbidite-hosted and carbonate-hosted oil and gas fields are also noteworthy in terms of reserves and production. The objective of this work is to present one quite unusual prospect in the Post-Salt Play.
