Oil<br />

Pre-Salt<br />

The pre-salt layer is a strip located up to 300 km (180 miles)<br />

offshore, along 800 km (500 miles) of coastline in the southeast of<br />

<strong>Brazil</strong>. The oil lies at depths that exceed 7,000 meters underneath a<br />

thick layer of salt that conserves the quality of the oil. This is the<br />

first large reserve of light oil found in <strong>Brazil</strong>.<br />
