Sedimentary characteristics of turbidite fan and its implication for hydrocarbon exploration in Lower Congo Basin

Sedimentary characteristics of turbidite fan and its implication for hydrocarbon exploration in Lower Congo Basin

The turbidite is favorable for accumulation of oil and gas and it is the most important reservoir in the deepwater area of West Africa. Currently, some commercial discoveries in such the deepwater area generally belong to turbidite sandstone reservoirs. Based on comprehensive analysis of lithology,...
