Caracterização de reservatórios siliciclásticos neoaptianos: um estudo do membro carmópolis no campo de Camorim, sub-bacia de Sergipe, Brasil

The Camorim Oilfield, discovered in 1970 in the shallow water domain of the Sergipe Sub-basin, produces hydrocarbons from the Carmópolis Member of the Muribeca Formation, the main reservoir interval, interpreted as siliciclastics deposited in an alluvial-fluvial-deltaic context during a late rifting phase of Neoaptian age, in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin. The structural setting of the field defines different production blocks, being associated to the evolution of the Atalaia High during the rift stage and subsequent reactivations, encompassing NE-SW trending major normal faults and NWEW trending secondary faults. The complexity of this field is related to the strong facies variation due to the interaction between continental and coastal depositional environments, coupled with strata juxtaposition along fault blocks. This study aims to geologically characterize its reservoirs, to provide new insights to well drilling locations in order to increase the recovery factor of the field. Facies analysis based on drill cores and geophysical logs and the 3D interpretation of a seismic volume, provide a high resolution stratigraphic analysis approach to be applied in this geodynamic transitional context between the rift and drift evolutionary stages of the basin. The objective was to define spatial and time relations between production zones and the preferential directions of fluid flow, using isochore maps that represent the external geometry of the deposits and facies distribution maps to characterize the internal heterogeneities of these intervals, identified in a 4th order stratigraphic zoning. This work methodology, integrated in a 3D geological modelling process, will help to optimize well drilling and hydrocarbons production. This methodology may be applied in other reservoirs in tectonic and depositional contexts similar to the one observed at Camorim, for example, the oil fields in the Aracaju High, Sergipe Sub-basin, which together represent the largest volume of oil in place in onshore Brazilian basins

Produção do espaço e transformações urbanas no litoral sul de João Pessoa - PB

This present work has as its objective the analysis of transformations relating to the production processes in the Southern littoral urban space of the city of João Pessoa PB. The research estimated that the urban space is the product, means and condition of the society which produces it. The object-area of this inquiry is constituted of five districts: Altiplano Cabo Branco, Portal do Sol, Ponta do Seixas, Penha and Costa do Sol. The urban expansion which occurs in this area is characterized by the appearance of sufficient contradictory space phenomenona. On the other hand, the launching of real estate products such as the horizontal closed condominiums, directed towards the upper class, and the occurrence of areas of irregular occupation, inhabited by lower socioeconomic class and with a great lack of infrastructure and basic urban services, revealing the social contradictions. Due to this, processes such as auto-segregation and segregation imposed beyond the precarious and delinquent inclusion, has become the determining characteristic of this part of the city in analysis. The study also takes into account the appreciation of the new urban environmental zoning of Altiplano do Cabo Branco and from this moment on, start the discussion about the tendencies of urban expansion in this area, due to the interests and strategies of the real estate sector and the prominent role of the government in the current valorization process of urban soil of the area. The presence of residuals of agricultural businesses indicates a typical picture of the peri-urban areas configuring what we observe today at the Southern littoral of João Pessoa

Análise e monitoramento geoambiental da praia de Genipabu/RN

Issues concerning coastal regions, especially the beaches have sparked quite complex because studies are there that most people in the world has secured housing, mainly from the half of the last century, without concern for the natural dynamics of these environments, which have complex interactions of continental and oceanic, coastal responsible for changes in locations that can be perceived in a few years and sometimes even a few days or hours. The search took as main goal, analyze the Genipabu Beach, in the municipality of Extremoz/RN, fragile environment and rapid momentum, which has been occupied in a disorderly and unplanned. Carried out a beach monitoring through profiles beach environments: defined stages morphodynamics; realization of characterize hydrodynamic processes; identification of changes in the landscape. To this end, made necessary a survey from the bibliographic collection for theoretical and conceptual rationale. An empirical step for conducting the environmental characterization of hydrodynamics, leveling and topographic analysis of sediments (in laboratory), for observation of changes in features, influenced, and natural dynamics, anthropic action that increasingly comes taking the characteristics from the natural landscape. Underlines therefore the importance of academic studies in several areas in these environments, for setting up a coastal zoning giving public subsidies for managers for managing and planning the use and occupation of the coast in their areas

O uso de geotecnologias no planejamento ambiental: o plano diretor municipal de Tambaú - SP

A Lei Federal 10.257, de 10 de julho de 2001, regulamentou os artigos 182 e 183 da Constituição Federal de 1988 no que trata da política urbana, especialmente da propriedade, sendo obrigatório para municípios com mais de 20.000 habitantes. Até então, os planos diretores municipais vinham sendo feitos levando em conta apenas as respectivas áreas urbanas, A partir desta lei, tais planos tiveram de levar em conta também as áreas rurais, integrando-as no processo do planejamento municipal sustentado. Analisando-se os planos diretores municipais recentes, elaborados a partir dessas novas diretrizes, nota-se que a maioria ainda enfatiza a área urbana, em detrimento da área rural. O objetivo deste trabalho foi, a partir de um estudo de caso, avaliar e validar metodologias e tecnologias rotineiramente empregadas em Geociências e Ciências Agrárias.

Perda de produtividade potencial da cultura do sorgo no Estado de São Paulo

O objetivo deste trabalho foi estimar a perda de produtividade potencial do sorgo em 36 épocas de semeadura, para quatro localidades do Estado de São Paulo: Manduri, Piracicaba, Ribeirão Preto e Ilha Solteira. As estimativas basearam-se nas chances de atendimento das exigências hídricas da cultura, utilizando-se do método de Doorenbos e Kassam/FAO, para estimativa da produtividade potencial e real. Foi necessário acrescentar um fator de correção com base na temperatura do ar para a obtenção de estimativas coerentes com o modelo. Utilizaram-se séries de dados climatológicos entre 10 e 40 anos. Foi possível identificar épocas de semeadura com menores riscos para o cultivo do sorgo e as chances de perda para cada época do ano. em Manduri, Piracicaba, Ilha Solteira e Ribeirão Preto, os riscos de quebra de produção foram menores nas semeaduras entre 15-10 e 15-11, com quebras inferiores a 5%. em todas as localidades, foram observadas perdas inferiores a 5% para semeaduras realizadas em fevereiro.

Classificação climática de Köppen e de Thornthwaite e sua aplicabilidade na determinação de zonas agroclimáticas para o estado de são Paulo

O clima pode ser entendido como as condições atmosféricas médias em uma certa região. Ele influencia diretamente a maioria das atividades humanas, em especial a agricultura na qual define o nível de produtividade agrícola, condicionado principalmente pela disponibilidade hídrica regional. Entretanto, os sistemas de classificações climáticas (SCC) são pouco utilizados no âmbito de estudos agrícolas pois, normalmente, considera-se sua escala de atuação muito abrangente. Dessa forma, valores médios mensais de temperatura máxima e mínima do ar de 27 estações termométricas e de 427 postos pluviométricos do Estado de São Paulo foram utilizados na atualização e melhoria do mapeamento dos SCC de Köppen modificado e de Thornthwaite, além da avaliação de potenciais aplicações em estudos de zoneamento agroclimáticos para o Estado de São Paulo. A utilização de dados de 427 localidades propiciou um mapeamento mais acurado do Estado pelas duas classificações. Avaliou-se a aplicabilidade das classificações em estudos agroclimáticos pela capacidade de separação dos climas pelos dois sistemas em relação aos elementos meteorológicos e componentes do balanço hídrico normal, com análises de dispersão dos dados, testes de separação de médias de Tukey e análises de cluster com dados independentes. O SCC de Köppen foi eficiente apenas na macroescala e com baixa capacidade de separação de tipos de climas em relação aos elementos meteorológicos (temperatura do ar, chuva) e elementos resultantes do balanço hídrico (evapotranspiração, deficiência e excedente hídrico). Conseqüentemente, não deve ser utilizado em estudos agrometeorológicos. O SCC de Thornthwaite permitiu separar eficientemente os climas na topoescala ou mesoescala, pois conseguiu resumir eficientemente as informações geradas por balanços hídricos normais, demonstrando capacidade para determinação de zonas agroclimáticas. Foram também feitas discussões sobre épocas de semeadura e qualidade de produtos agrícolas relacionadas com os SCC considerados.

Épocas de plantio de milho em função das deficiências hídricas no solo em Cambará-PR

The aim of this study was to try the forecast of corn (Zea mays L.) sowing dates, the understanding of the quantitative effect of water deficits on that crop and crop yield decrease on a basis of a climatic model of water deficit forecast. This model was applied at Cambara (lat. 23 degrees 00'S, long. 50 circle 02'WGr, altitude 450 m), PR, Brazil. The model estimates yield decrease, in relation to potential values, as a function of the sowing dates which determine flowering and grain filling dates, highly critical times in relation to water deficit. The estimates were done from expected values of water deficit, at the 80% probability level and accumulated degrees-days, using several climatological data. Results show that the first ten days of November are the best corn sowing date under dry or irrigated conditions. Under these same conditions, the worst time showed to be August. Estimates of total needs of supplementar irrigation get values of 126 e 226 mm, respectively to the corn sowed at the first ten days of November and August.

Modelagem da variação horária da temperatura do ar em Petrolina, PE, e Botucatu, SP

The air temperature is a climatic element of interest for several agricultural related studies. Hence, daily air temperature from two locations in Brazil (Botucatu and Petrolina, with different climate classification), hourly recorded from January 2004 to December 2005, were analysed to verify if 24 h long air temperature variation can be predicted with 6 h interval records. Three data set were selected, with different first time record of air temperature, and analyses performed using geoestatistics to confirm the temporal dependency of records. Then, ordinary krigging was used to model air temperature variation within 1 h interval, and spherical model presented the best approach, with range of 11.6 h for Botucatu and 12.7 for Petrolina. For both locations, the time of air temperature recording was the most importnat factor on accuracy of estimation of air temperature variation. Records at 2, 8, 14 and 20 h and at 4, 10, 16 and 22 h presented the best approaches, but for records at 9, 15 and 21 h, the approach was worst.

Geomorfologia e distribuição da vegetação ripária na ilha Mutum, rio Paraná - PR/MS

Conectivity between the hydrologic regimen and the distribution of the vegetation there is already a lot is recognized by several researchers in the works of fluvial ecology. It can be affirmed that the geomorphology of the alluvial plain has an important paper in the constitution of the riparian vegetation. On the proposed study, traverse topographical profiles were elaborated in the island, recognition of the distribution of the vegetation and the zoning geomorphologic presented in profiles for the Mutum Island. It's located in the upper course of the Parana River, between the mouth of the Paranapanema River and the mouth of the Ivinhema River. It elapses of this study the succession of the strata of the riparian vegetation and the relationship with the morphology of the surface, in this case the relief as the main controller abiotic and selective of the species in the environmental. For the whole island it was possible to define three classes: Mutum Upper Unit, Mutum Lower Unit and Paleochannel. The presented discussion is resulted partial of the project called Processes of Conectivity and the Riparian Vegetacion in the high course of the Parana River, PR/MS.
