... Abstract Brazil is one of the most prominent oil and gas offshore market. Recently, investors’ interest has increased, but not only because of the oil price recovery and pre-salt discoveries, but maybe also because of important changes in the regulatory side. Several issues have been discussed...

... exploratory superplays associated to the EQM's reservoirs with different characteristics and ages. The greatest chances of hydrocarbon discovery were observed in the central portion of the basins that make up the Brazilian EQM, near the 1,500 m isobath; medium and low chances occured in the rest...

... exploration along the West African and South American Equatorial Margin has led to important oil discoveries along both margins. Similar geochemical characteristics of these finds suggest analogous petroleum systems with enormous potential in the conjugate margin sedimentary basins. The Jubilee giant oil...
