          Abstract

          Áreas com acumulações e escape de gás foram identificadas no estuário Potengi. As várias ocorrências de gás foram classificadas em quatro tipos, de acordo com suas assinaturas sísmicas específicas: (1) blankets ou coberturas acústicas, (2) cortinas acústicas, (3) colunas acústicas e (4) turbidez acústica. Ao mesmo tempo, dois tipos diferentes de escape de gás foram identificados: (1) plumas acústicas e (2) pockmarks . A atividade neotectônica na porção fluvial do sistema Potengi pode ser um dos responsáveis pela migração de gases provenientes das sismofácies localizadas abaixo do atual nível do rio, onde é possível reconhecer a conexão com o nível da fonte do gás, através da assinatura sísmica do tipo coluna acústica. Conclui-se que a fácies sedimentar é provavelmente o fator determinante da acumulação e escape de gás, como também do tipo específico de acumulação ou escape em cada local.

          Areas with gas accumulations and gas seeps, where gas escapes from the river-bottom to the water column, have been mapped in the fill of a fluvial valley, the Potengi estuary. The various gas features have been classified into four types according to their specific seismic signatures: (1) acoustic blanket, (2) acoustic curtains, (3) acoustic columns, and (4) acoustic turbidity. At the same time, two types of gas escapes features have been distinguished: (1) acoustic plumes and (2) pockmarks. The neotectonic activity in the semigraben of the Potengi river may be one of the responsible factors for the migration of gas coming from the seismofacies located below the present river level where it is possible to recognize the connection with the level of the gas source through the acoustic column type seismic signature. It is concluded that sedimentary facies is the main factor determining whether gas accumulates or seeps, and also determines the specific type of accumulation or seep at each location.
