        abstract = {The ongoing exploration activities at the Pelotas basin of Brazil uncover some missing gaps in the existing wells for hydrocarbon accumulation prediction. Therefore, there is a need to further investigate the petroleum system of the basin, especially the organic facies, variations and distributions of the effectiveness of potential source rock. The adjacent basin, Santos basin is currently producing oil and gas fields will be used as the analogs to the Pelotas Basin. The aims of this research are to justify the presence of geological elements and processes of the petroleum system of the Pelotas Basin and to evaluate the potential of hydrocarbon prospectivity for exploration and exploitation of the basin. Two - dimensional basin modelling using TemisFlow will be used in this study. Hydrocarbon generation from the Turonian and Ypresian to Bartonian source rock started during Late Eocene. Visible Hydrocarbon migration can be seen from the Hydrocarbon saturation model. Hydrocarbon migration for Turonian source rock occurred during Early Miocene while for Ypresian to Bartonian, hydrocarbon migrate during Middle Miocene. Peak hydrocarbon expulsion reached during Middle Miocene for Turonian source rock and Ypresian to Bartonian source rock. Based on modelling result, hydrocarbon accumulation can be seen in Upper slope Early Miocene Sandstone, Early Miocene turbiditic sandstone and Early Oligocene turbiditic sandstone. Hydrocarbon composition in Early Miocene turbiditic sandstone and Upper Oligocene sandstone is mainly hydrocarbon liquid while for Early Miocene sandstone, the hydrocarbon composition is mix of hydrocarbon liquid and gas. Based on the prediction of source facies distribution, thermal maturity assessment, and migration and trapping mechanism, the oil and gas pool can be proposed for the future exploration and exploitation in the Pelotas Basin, offshore Brazil. {\^A}{\copyright} Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.}
