The detailed (sub-seismic) stratigraphy of the eastern South American margin presents unique challenges, characterised by multiple closely spaced unconformities (e.g. Campos Basin) and significant structural complexities (e.g eastern Trinidad). To unravel this complexity, a targeted and high-resolution approach is essential for ensuring a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the region’s stratigraphy. PetroStrat offers a wealth of experience when it comes to the provision of the integrated geoscience solutions that are required for de-risking prospects in South America.
