Using recently acquired 3D data, the first part of the workshop will include an Orange Basin to Pelotas Basin seismic correlation to analyze similarities and differences between the two margins and identify the elements which can be used from the discoveries in the Orange Basin to de-risk the frontier Pelotas Basin in southern Brazil. Next, the Equatorial Margins of Brazil and West Africa will be compared using the latest 3D data acquired in Northern Brazil. And lastly, the workshop will move to the North Atlantic where data from the host Newfoundland Province will be shared to identify key elements of the petroleum system in the exploration hot spots.
