Abstract In this study, the available 2D seismic lines have been interpreted to understand basin development and petroleum potential of Late Cretaceous–Quaternary stratigraphy Tanga offshore Basin in Tanzania. Conventional interpretation has delineated eight sedimentary fill geometries, fault properties, stratal termination patterns unconformities characterizing studied stratigraphy. The Cretac...

The ever-increasing demand for oil and gas has driven its exploration in rather extreme conditions. In Lamu offshore, which is hitherto underexplored, most of the wells already drilled turned out dry save a few with hydrocarbon shows despite promising reservoir properties related geological structures. This, therefore, necessitated source rock evaluation study area to ascertain presence potenti...

This is partly due to the contribution of Chinese investments, trade and partnership cooperation to Africa’...

With the development of petroleum in China, most oilfields have entered stage high water cut development. Well ground resistivity method as a new type electric prospecting method, which influence on formation small, measuring low cost advantages, gradually become one key technology remaining oil distribution detection inversion is through observation underground space apparent data reconstructi...
