Sergipe-Alagoas Basin
An understanding of the early syn-rift basin evolution is fundamental for hydrocarbon exploration in the South Atlantic, and yet outcrops of early syn-rift sediments are rare. Syn-rift to early post-rift exposures in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin were used as an analogue for early depositional sequences in offshore African and South American marginal basins.
