Acesso em:.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/6345The hydrocarbon prospection history of the Paleozoic Parnaíba Basin, northeastern Brazil, has been unfavorable when compared to the putatively large reservoirs of the Pré-Sal of the Coastal basins and the onshore Solimões Basin. However, the discovery of natural gas in the Devonian-Eocarboniferous siliciclastic deposits of the Canindé Group which include Pimenteiras, Cabeças and Longá formations, has motivated new research to improve the paleoenvironmental and paleogeographic interpretations to understand the petroliferous system, the possible plays and the potenciality of the Upper Devonian Cabeças reservoir. Based-outcrop facies and stratigraphic analysis combined with detrital zircon geochronology allowed to interpret the paleoenvironment and the sedimentary provenance from Cabeças reservoir. Six facies association grouped in the succession with up to 60m thick, records the evolution of deltaic system influenced by glacial processes mainly in the top of the unit: 1) distal deltaic front, composed of massive mudstone and conglomerate, sandstone with massive bedding, even parallel lamination and sigmoidal cross-bedding; 2) proximal deltaic front, represented by sandstone with massive bedding, even parallel lamination and sigmoidal cross-bedding sandstone and massive conglomerate; 3) deltaic plain, consisting laminated mudstone, massive conglomerate, sandstone with massive bedding and trough cross-bedding; 4) glacial shoreface, composed by sandstone with rippled bedded and hummocky crossbedding; 5) subglacial deposits, which include massive diamictite, diamictite with sandstone pods and intraformational breccia; and 6) melt-out deltaic front, consisting of sandstone with massive bedding, even parallel lamination, climbing ripple-cross lamination and sigmoidal cross-bedding sandstone, as well as, deformed sandstone. In the Fammenian (374-359 Ma), a fluvial dominated deltaic front prograding to the NW (eastern border of the basin) and to the NE (western border of the basin) on a storm influenced platform (Pimenteiras Formation). In the eastern border of the basin, the paleocurrent pattern and the U-Pb zircon ages spectrum indicate that the Cabeças delta was fed by source lands located in the southeastern of the basin, probably in the Borborema Province. Mesoproterozoic (~ 1.039-1.009 Ma) and Neoproterozoic zircon ages are the most populous, differently of the grains with Archean (~ 2.508-2.678 Ma) and Paleoproterozoic (~ 2.054-1.992 Ma) ages. The youngest concordant zircon grain yielded a 206Pb/238age of 501.20 ± 6.35 Ma (95% concordant) indicating Cambrian source areas. The main sediments source of the Cabeças delta in the eastern border were provide of the Transversal Zone Domain and the Brasilian plutons of the crystalline basement found in the southeast of the Parnaíba Basin. Small contribution of sediments was derived from the Central Ceará and of the Western Rio Grande do Norte domains. In the Famennian, the migration of the Gondwana Supercontinent to the South Pole resulted in the implantation of the glacial conditions concomitant with the sea-level fall and exposure of the coastal region. The advance of the glaciers upon the basement crystalline rocks and deltaic deposits generated erosion, deposition of diamicton with exotic and faceted clasts, as well as, glaciotectonic strucutures such as foliation, boudins, folds, duplex, faults and fractures reflecting a brittle-ductile tangential shear. The unconsolidated and water saturated substrate had temperature slightly below to the melting point of ice (warm permafrost). Sporadic conglomerate lenses (dump structure) in shoreface deposits suggest an ice-rafted process due to icebergs during glacier retreat phase. The increase of the temperature in the Late Famennian reflects the dextral rotation of the Gondwana and South Pole migration from western portion of the South America and to the West Africa. The new paleogeographic configuration positioned the basin in subtropical latitudes initiating the glacier retreat and increase the influence of the isostatic rebound. The structures formed during pressure decrease were clastic sills and dykes, ball-and-pillow structures, beds disruption and intraformational breccia. Thrust faults associated with foliated diamictites in the western border of the basin suggest glaciers migrating to the N-NE. The continuity of the sea-level rise propitiates the implantation of melt-out deltaic system and, afterwards, a transgressive platform (Longá Formation). Diamictites interbedded with deltaic front deposits in the Upper Cabeças Formation correspond intervals with low pore volume and can represent secondary stratigraphic traps in the reservoir. The subglacial primary anisotropies were found in the both borders of the Parnaiba Basin, extend the glacial influence and opens a new perspective about the heterogeneity and effective potentiality of the Cabeças reservoir from the Mesodevonian- Eocarboniferous petroliferous system.porAcesso AbertoGeologia estratigráficaBacias (Geologia)Formação CabeçasBacia Hidrográfica do Rio ParnaíbaPiauí - EstadoMaranhão - EstadoTeseCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::GEOCIENCIAS::GEOLOGIA::ESTRATIGRAFIA
