SUMMARY:

The activity of the Romanche Fracture Zone, a zone of motion transfer between tectonic plates, influences the formation of different tectonic structures in the Barreirinhas Basin. The combination of reflection seismic and well data reveals details about sediment distribution and structure geometry, crucial for understanding the geological evolution of the region.

Methodological research utilized seismic and well data from ANP to analyze transpressive tectonic structures in the Barreirinhas Basin, focusing on their interaction with the Romanche Fracture Zone. Seismic interpretations identified features such as faults and discordances, allowing for a detailed understanding of the basin's Evolution over geological time.

The results indicate that the Romanche Fracture Zone plays a crucial role in the structural compartmentalization of the Barreirinhas Basin, affecting from the continental shelf to the slope, with significant impacts on the morphology and structuring of sedimentary layers. The study highlights the complexity of these interactions and underscores the ongoing importance of further research to better comprehend geodynamic processes and their implications for natural resource exploration and environmental management in the region.
