The geological description of the Campos Basin suggests that the rock formations in which oil is being found are in Upper Oligocene to Lower Micocene deposits – in other words, deposits from the Cenozoic Era, dating back only some 24,000 years.
The technical descriptions of the oil-rich rock in the Campos Basin strongly suggest that the deposits flowed from the continent and settled on the ocean floor.
While the geology suggests the Campos Basin oil-rich deposits formed when the sea level was lower than today, the deposits suggest that the area was most probably still underwater when the sand and mud deposits flowed into the area.

Recent seismic surveys in the Angolan portion of the Lower Congo Basin and in the Campos Basin show that post-depositional salt movements have created various trap types in the overlying sediments.
The salt thickens toward the African shore, producing different structures in the basin's upper margin extensional tectonic environment, from those that occur in the area affected by compressional tectonics (western and deeper parts of the basin).
The only fields that come close to those numbers are found in the deep water Campos Basin, which geologically is a mirror image of West Africa.

Studies for Barra Grande Dam, on the Pelotas River in the Uruguay River basin were shown to be fraudulent in failing to mention that several thousand hectares of primary forests would be flooded.
A diversion tunnel for the recently built Campos Novos dam in Brazil failed in late June, causing an uncontrolled release of the water from the huge upstream reservoir reports the Engineering News Record.
Journalist C. Schexnayder writes that the failure caused no loss of life, the dam contractors assert that the main structure is intact, but the event is nonetheless raising alarms from international environmental groups and sparking concerns about additional delays in the project, which is already well behind schedule.
