The turbiditic reservoirs in rift and passive margin settings of Atlantic sedimentary basins located in Brazil (Campos Basin) and Portugal (Lusitanian Basin) represent potential economic units for the hydrocarbon exploration. However, despite being considered analogous reservoirs, these units present distinct potentials for the accumulation of hydrocarbons. In this context, the work presented discusses the results obtained from the analysis of static (source rock, reservoir rock, seal and trap) and dynamic elements (migration, tectonic, diagenetic and thermal processes) of both studied petroleum systems, using geological, seismic, well, geochemical and petrographic data. The developed methodology of multiscalar characterization of the two petroleum systems was successful, leading to a specific classification of the efficiency of the static and dynamic elements. These served as the basis for a petroleum systems analysis of the potential of turbiditic reservoirs in both analyzed basins. In the Campos Basin, the salt diapirs and the associated faults provided the origin of excellent migration routes for the hydrocarbons generated in lower intervals, allowing them to reach Cretaceous turbidite reservoirs. At Lusitanian Basin, the diagenetic processes reduced significantly the porosities of the potential turbiditic reservoirs, besides the intense influence of the salt tectonics that may have been responsible for the migration of hydrocarbons along faults or by their walls, towards upper formations and to the surface.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/en15218224","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,4]],"date-time":"2022-11-04T03:28:10Z","timestamp":1667532490000},"page":"8224","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Petroleum Systems Analysis of Turbidite Reservoirs in Rift and Passive Margin Atlantic Basins (Brazil and Portugal)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Gustavo Santana","family":"Barbosa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Brazilian National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), Avenida Rio Branco, 65, Rio de Janeiro 20090-004, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, Geosciences Center, University of Coimbra, Rua S\u00edlvio Lima S\/n, 3030-790 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8033-3486","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui","family":"Pena dos Reis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, Geosciences Center, University of Coimbra, Rua S\u00edlvio Lima S\/n, 3030-790 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ant\u00f4nio Jorge Vasconcellos","family":"Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, Geosciences Center, University of Coimbra, Rua S\u00edlvio Lima S\/n, 3030-790 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Progeologia Laboratory\/Nucleus of Competence in Oil, Gas and Biofuels, Federal University of Sergipe, Avenida Marechal Rondon S\/n, S\u00e3o Crist\u00f3v\u00e3o 49100-000, Sergipe, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7971-6196","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriel de Alemar","family":"Barberes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, Geosciences Center, University of Coimbra, Rua S\u00edlvio Lima S\/n, 3030-790 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3858-5054","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gustavo Gon\u00e7alves","family":"Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, Geosciences Center, University of Coimbra, Rua S\u00edlvio Lima S\/n, 3030-790 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Departament of Earth Science, Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Coimbra, Rua S\u00edlvio Lima S\/n, 3030-790 Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jnggs.2019.03.002","article-title":"Giant discoveries of oil and gas fields in global deepwaters in the past 40 years and the prospect of exploration","volume":"4","author":"Zhang","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
