The geology of Benin in West Africa includes the north-northeast trending Proterozoic Dahomeyide orogen in the north and a range of Cretaceous to Holocene sedimentary rocks in the south, separated very closely by the 7th latitude. [1]: 42 Neogene alluvial deposits extend across Benin’s northeastern border with Niger. In the Togo and Benin ...
The Benin Formation has the lowest thermal gradient (1.3 to 1.8 °C/100 m) followed by the Agbada Formation (2.7 °C/100 m) and finally the over-pressured Akata Formation (5.5 °C/100 m). [23] However, sand/shale distribution is not the only controlling factor on oil window depth; temperature, time and deformation due to tectonic events also ...
Then in the Oligocene the Benin formation was deposited, which is still being deposited today. The overall basin is divided into a few different zones due to its tectonic structure. [1] There is an extensional zone, which lies on the continental shelf, caused by the thickened crust.
