Hydrocarbon source rock potential of the Late Cretaceous sediments in the Asaga–Ohafia Axis, Afikpo Basin, Nigeria: Insights from facies and kerogen analyses

Hydrocarbon source rock potential of the Late Cretaceous sediments in the Asaga–Ohafia Axis, Afikpo Basin, Nigeria: Insights from facies and kerogen analyses

This study investigated the hydrocarbon source rock potential of the Late Cretaceous Mamu and Nkporo formations in the Asaga–Ohafia Axis, Afikpo Basin, southeastern Nigeria, using integrated facies analysis, organic geochemical and palynofacies data. Five lithofacies were identified: dark grey shale...
