Approximate extent of Taoudeni basin Major West African sedimentary basins. The Taoudeni Basin is a major Sedimentary basin in West Africa, named after the Taoudenni village in northern Mali. It covers large parts of the West African craton in Mauritania and Mali. It is of considerable interest due to its possible reserves of oil. [1]
At that time, the Congo Craton lay to the west of the Amazonian Craton, and the West African Craton lay to the south where both were rotated about 180° and retain this relative configuration. [13] Around 750 million years ago Rodinia rifted apart into three continents: Proto-Laurasia, the Congo craton and Proto-Gondwana. [14]
The standard Hubbert curve.For applications, the x and y scales are replaced by time and production scales. U.S. Oil Production and Imports 1910 to 2012. In 1956, Hubbert proposed that fossil fuel production in a given region over time would follow a roughly bell-shaped curve without giving a precise formula; he later used the Hubbert curve, the derivative of the logistic curve, [6] [7] for ...
In 1956, Hubbert confined his peak oil prediction to that crude oil "producible by methods now in use." [13] By 1962, however, his analyses included future improvements in exploration and production. [14] All of Hubbert's analyses of peak oil specifically excluded oil manufactured from oil shale or mined from oil sands. A 2013 study predicting ...
Ghana and Mali are the second and third largest producers of gold in Africa, respectively. [ 1 ] The Birimian terranes in the southern part of the West African craton are a mix of metamorphosed volcanic , sedimentary , and plutonic rocks and low-grade metavolcanics and metasediments.
Lower interest rates spur economic activity, which is bullish for oil demand. West Texas Intermediate ( CL=F ) and Brent ( BZ=F ) ended the last day of February little changed at $78.26 and $83.62 ...

Approximate location of Mesoproterozoic (older than 1.3 Ga) cratons within South America–Africa in their Gondwana configuration (c. 550-130 Ma).. The Congo Craton, covered by the Palaeozoic-to-recent Congo Basin, is an ancient Precambrian craton that with four others (the Kaapvaal, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, and West African cratons) makes up the modern continent of Africa.
