The application of a multidisciplinary approach involving geochemical, sedimentological, geophysical, and paleontological research has greatly enhanced the level of understanding of some of the most representative petroleum systems in the Brazilian sedimentary basins. The integration of the data allowed the characterization of the petroleum systems were selected as representative case studies: (1) the intracratonic Paleozoic Solimoes system, in the Amazon region; (2) the rift lower Cretaceous Reconcavo system, in Bahia, northeast Brazil; (3) the proto-marine evaporitic Aptian system, in Sergipe, northeast Brazil; and, (4) the Cretaceous-Paleogene marginal, deep-water Campos system, offshore Rio de Janeiro, southeast Brazil.
