This study is a contribution to our understanding of the hydrocarbon potentials of the Nkporo Shale in the Anambra Basin, Nigeria. The main objective was to simulate the hydrocarbon generation and expulsion in the Nkporo source horizons encountered in Igbariam-1, Iji-1, and Ajire-1 wells ...
Campano-Maastrichtian Nkporo Shales from the Lower Benue Trough, Nigeria were analyzed to assess their petroleum potential by sedimentological analysis and Rock-Eval pyrolysis. The Nkporo Shale consists of dark grey and highly fissile shale with interbeds of sandy shale, siltstone and mudstone. The...
determined and compared, by means of total organic carbon (TOC) content analysis and Rock-Eval pyrolysis, the organic geochemistry and hydrocarbon source rock potentials of the Cenomanian–Turonian Eze-Aku (southern Benue Trough) and Campanian Nkporo Shales (Anambra Basin), southeastern Nigeria. A...
Integration of sedimentologic and sequence stratigraphic interpretations of the Nkporo Group has provided the basis for a basin-wide framework for prediction of potential source,seal and reservoir rocks in the Anambra Basin,Nigeria.Lithofacies and biostratigraphic data show that the Nkporo Group in ...
