Abstract
This paper presents the analysis of radiometric data from an aerial survey carried out in the Rio do Peixe Basin, which is a promising oil-producing region in the state of Paraiba, Brazil. The data collected through gamma spectrometer allowed the preparation of counting maps of Uranium, Potassium and Thorium, allowing to evaluate and compare the radiometric concentrations obtained with the geological and land use maps of the region. The radiometric maps of total and ternary counting illuminated the basin lineaments. The potassium, thorium and ternary maps allow to identify the geological formations of Rio Piranhas, Sousa and Antenor Navarro, contributing to the geological knowledge of the region.
