The Niger Delta Basin is an extensional rift basin where rifting occurred from the Late Jurassic to the Late Cretaceous.Cretaceous fracture zones, expressed as trenches and ridges, control the tectonic framework of the delta and separate the margin into individual sub-basins, which form the boundary faults of the Cretaceous Benue-Abakaliki trough.

The Niger Delta is the delta of the Niger River sitting directly on the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean in Nigeria. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is located within nine coastal southern Nigerian states, which include: all six states from the South South geopolitical zone, one state ( Ondo ) from South West geopolitical zone and two states ( Abia and Imo ...
Akata Formation is part of the Tertiary Niger Delta (Akata-Agbada) petroleum system located in the Niger Delta Province, of Nigeria at the Gulf of Guinea, Atlantic Ocean.. The upper Akata Formation is cited to be a primary source rock, providing Type II/III kerogen, [1] and a potential target in deep water offshore and possibly beneath currently producing intervals onshore.
