Talk Description.
The pre-salt Santos Basin exploded onto the international scene in 2005 with the drilling of the first well on the Tupi structure – now known as Lula . Costing in the region of $270m, this did not only represent a triumph of engineering; it was the biggest discovery in the Americas since Cantarell in Mexico, 1976. With this 6.5 billion barrel oilfield, and the Santos Basin’s pre-salt plays still having a lot more to offer, Brazil is certainly the focus of much attention on the international energy stage.
This presentation gives an overview of the exploration in the basin, before taking an in-depth look at the geological challenges associated with reservoir prediction in the pre-salt. Finally, we will look at what the future holds for the Santos Basin – are there more big fields waiting to be found? |

Oxford Institute for Energy Studies
The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies was founded in 1982 as an autonomous centre for advanced research into the social science areas of energy issues. The Institute is committed to the idea of dialogue - between consumers and producers, government and industry and academics and decision makers. This is reflected in the membership of the Institute and in the composition of its research team, which is drawn from different national, academic and professional backgrounds. Our aim is that co-operation between researchers from these varied backgrounds, will lead to a more informed and balanced understanding of the behaviour, motivations and objectives of the various economic forces, agents and policy makers that operate in or influence the performance of international energy markets.
