Facies analysis, hydrocarbon potential, palynology and geochemistry of Massoumbou sediments, Douala sub-basin, Central Africa
Michel Kevin Delor Tjade-Eone
Abstract:Several analytical techniques including facies analysis, mineralogy, major and trace elements, palynology and Rock-Eval were used to reconstruct paleo-depositional environments, to determine the hydrocarbon potential and to propose the age of the deposits. The study is focused on a sedimentary outcrop in Massoumbou area, Eastern part of the Douala sub-basin (Central Africa). Lithologies mainly consist of claystones, siltstone and sandstones that were identified and grouped under seven facies. The mineralogical… Show more
