RESUMO

Based on the sequence stratigraphy and on the excellent quality of the seismic data, a systematic study was used to better understand the development of the siliciclastic / carbonatic sedimentation of the southern portion of Santos Basin, occurred during Miocene. The database includes a multichannel seismic data, with approximately 500 km of linear data, and 3 wells. The applied seismic techniques used, both seismic stratigraphy and well log analysis (gamma ray and sonic). The Miocene interval was subdivided into 5 depositional sequences, and a paleoenvironmental evolutionary model was established together with a correlation of global sea level variation. The results showed that the sedimentation was controlled by the glacio-eustasy associated with the main changes of the paleoclimate occurred in Miocene, as well as with the influence of the halokinesis. The global data indicated that in Early Miocene the climatic conditions start to cool, and then the Middle Mioceno and Late Miocene too. With a direct relationship with these changes, the transgressive characteristic of the depositional systems predominated in Early Miocene and regressive in Middle Miocene and Early Miocene. This transgressive tendency that started at Oligocene changed the source of siliciclastic sediments outside of the studied area, allowing good conditions for the mixed sedimentation to establish. In the beginning of Miocene the carbonatic sedimentation was restricted to the proximal areas, during the development of the transgressive tracts. At the end of the transgressive events, the maximum maximum flood was responsible for the main development of the carbonatic sedimentation, beginning the enlargement of the area.
