Figure 14--Geological cross sections through the Espirito Santo basin (after Estrella et al., 1984). (a) Cross section through a paleocanyon filled with turbidite sediments showing the short migration of hydrocarbons from the disconformity between the lacustrine shales and turbidites into the reservoirs. (b) Cross section through the platform sediments showing the long migration distance and the direction of filling from east to west.
