The Rec ncavo and Camamu basins in Northeastern Brazil are two rift basins which were formed during the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous as a result of the process of continental breakup between South America and Africa. du Bois-Pr au, Rueil Malmaison, France 3Independent Consultant, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Universit ria, Quadra 7, Ilha do Fund o, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 2Institut Fran ais du P trole, 1-4 Ave.

Other data presented shows perceived levels of integration, support for modeling software and the distribution of R D moneys. The data indicates that the modeling part of Hydrocarbon system work is rarely outsourced while all data collection functions are outsourced to one level or another. Even before major problems are solved the focus is shifting away from research.
When comparing R D effort with application effort a dangerous trend becomes obvious. Most applications seem to occur late in the exploration cycle which might indicate a potential problem. It appears that most companies spend about 2% of their exploration budget on Hydrocarbon system technology. Some key results highlight the relative importance of modeling as indicated by funding levels, the timing of application and the link to other technologies. While the presentation will not identify individual companies, this is the first time this data is presented to a wider audience. It will be up to the individual companies to decide where in the spectrum of basin modeling technology application they stood three years ago and where they stand now. Some of the data collected in this benchmark will be presented and the stage will be set for where we were three years ago. A few years ago one major oil company sponsored a benchmark to see how far the industry as a whole moved towards the goal of integration and embracing basin modeling technology. Instead of pushing sub-disciplines further the companies realize more is to be gained by integration of existing technology and develop only where gaps are obvious. While the names and approaches might be slightly different the overall goal is the same. It appears to be true that integration of geological and to some extend geophysical data has found a home in basin assessment teams, play modeling teams, integrated basin analysis teams or hydrocarbon system modeling teams. However, integration is recognized as the most important advance possible at this time. During the recent wave of reorganization we have seen modeling teams gain in importance and lose in importance.
