             abstract = "The Camamu-Almada Basin (CAB) is located along the Eastern 
                         Brazilian coast with great potential for oil exploration. The 
                         dynamics of the ocean currents in CAB is complex and presents a 
                         set of eddies influenced by variations of the South Equatorial 
                         Current Bifurcation. At the present, there are only shallow water 
                         oil and gas fields in this basin and the oil production in 
                         deepwater has been subject of discussion, as CAB is near to the 
                         largest and richest coral reefs in Brazil: the Abrolhos Coral 
                         Reefs. Therefore, studying the oil behavior from spills in this 
                         region is fundamental to evaluate the possible affected areas. In 
                         this work, a system of Lagrangian numerical models was used to 
                         simulate the dynamics of the oil in CAB. This system can be used 
                         to simulate oil and gas blowouts from deepwater and oil spills at 
                         surface. The oil releases were simulated from deepwater in two 
                         different locations in CAB, but the characteristics of the 
                         blowouts, such as kind of oil, discharge, and duration, were the 
                         same. The results showed the oil moving in different directions 
                         along the water column, influenced by the ocean conditions. In 
                         both experiments, the oil reached the surface. At the surface, the 
                         dynamics of the slick was controlled by the formation of eddies 
                         and meanders, in particular the Ilh{\'e}us Eddy, and by a wind 
                         blowing from East, which transported the oil towards the shore.",
