Paléoenvironnements et caractérisation des roches mères pétrolières des séries pré-salifères du bassin intérieur du Gabon

Abstract: Le bassin intérieur du Gabon, dont l'histoire est liée à la séparation des continents Sud-Américain et Africain, comprend des dépôts continentaux fluvio-lacustres, localement glaciaires, datés du Précambrien supérieur à l'Aptien p.p., surmontés par des faciès marins aptiens et albiens. L'analyse par pyrolyse Rock-Eval d'échantillons d'affleurements et de forages prélevés dans ce bassin met en évidence la présence de faciès siliciclastiques riches en matière organique (jusqu'à 25 % de carbone organique total) d… Show more

“…The low sulfur values observed in some sample suggests that sediments of the Mundeck Formation were deposited in a freshwater environment with probably marine incursion based on some high values observed in samples from the outcrops in Railway Bridge (Table 3) (Berner & Raiswell, 1984). This interpretation is similar to that suggested by Kribi/Campo, North Gabon, Rio Muni Basin (Brownfield & Charpentier, 2006; Mbina Mounguengui et al, 2003; Mbina Mounguengui & Guiraud, 2009; Ntamak‐Nida et al, 2008). In terms of organic matter type, Rock‐Eval pyrolysis and palynofacies analyses can be useful in the assessment of the organic matter source using Hydrogen (HI) and Oxygen (OI) Index (Espitalié et al, 1977, 1985; Hunt, 1996; Peters & Cassa, 1994).…”

“…These results are in accordance with those suggested by Pauken (1992) in the same Formation in the Douala Basin and in the Kribi/Campo Basin (Ntamak‐Nida et al, 2008). On the contrary, organic matter source rock in the basins along the equatorial margin of Africa and South America contain largely Type I and Type II kerogen with a higher contribution of autochthonous marine algal‐bacterial biomass due to the rapid installation of the sea in this area before the Douala Basin (Baudouy & Legorjus, 1991; Mbina Mounguengui et al, 2003; Schoellkopf & Patterson, 2000; Teisserenc & Villemin, 1990).…”

“…The 2500 m-thick Schistes series is made up of lacustrine and palustrine claystone and organic shale deposits, which are potential petroleum source rocks (Mbina Mounguengui et al, 2003), and a few interspersed fluvial-lacustrine medium-to-coarse-grained sandstones (Bikoumé , Fourou Plage) (Fig. 3).…”
