The Tectonic Framework of Parecis Basin: Insights from a Multiphysics Interpretation Workflow
The Parecis Basin, one of Brazil’s most extensive intracratonic basins, holds significant potential for hydrocarbon exploration. Despite its vast size, Parecis has yet to be extensively explored, with only five wildcat wells drilled. So far, no commercial discoveries have been announced. Regional studies have suggested Paleozoic sedimentation, while recent analyses have revealed a Neoproterozoic infill. Its tectonic model is still a matter of debate, and to date, no detailed structural map for the whole basin has been published. The present work proposes a new detailed structural map of the Parecis Basin based on a four-step interpretation workflow integrating seismic and gravimetric data. The first step includes converting the public 2D seismic lines to the depth domain. The second step is estimating the residual Bouguer anomaly, where the computed residual anomalies should relate to the basin’s tectonic features. The third step comprises the 2D forward modeling of the gravimetric anomalies using the 2D seismic interpretation as a constraint. The final step compiled all the interpreted features into our new structural map. This map reveals the top of the basement, forming a complex framework of horsts and grabens. Normal faults define the main structural style in the basin. Further, we could recognize thick, high-density bodies embedded in the crystalline basement. These bodies consist of Orosian–Calimian (1.8–1.6 Ga) mafic and ultramafic rocks, which may be a potential source for hydrogen exploration in the basin. Subsequent geophysical and geochemical surveys will assess the hydrogen potential in the area.
期刊介绍:
Minerals (ISSN 2075-163X) is an international open access journal that covers the broad field of mineralogy, economic mineral resources, mineral exploration, innovative mining techniques and advances in mineral processing. It publishes reviews, regular research papers and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
