Abstract: In recent years, the pre-salt sequence of Santos Basin is the focused exploration area, but CO2 is generally found in the pre-salt oil fields. After analysis of CO2 content, carbon isotope and helium isotope, the generation type of CO2 in Santos basin pre-salt layers is inorganic mantel. Based on generation type and the comprehensive analysis of the correlation of CO2 content with basement faults distribution, we found that fields closed to faults are generally high in CO2 content. Meanwhile, the analysis of generation factors and accumulation elements of CO2 in the typical fields displays that volcano activities and basement faults are the controlling factors for the accumulated CO2 gas cap. And the volcano provides CO2 source, faults acting as migration pathways. Affected by a large amount of inflow of continuous CO2, evaporation and diffluence occurred in oil and gas composition and generated gas cap of high CO2 content.
