Geochemical evaluation of Niger Delta sedimentary organic rocks: a new insight

Abstract: A geochemical evaluation of Niger Delta organic matter was carried out using supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) sample preparation procedure. Comparison of geochemical significance of gas chromatographic data of rock extracts of SFE with those of Soxhlet extraction method from previous studies was made in order to establish the usefulness of SFE in geochemical exploration. The assessment of geochemical character of the rock samples from the comparison and interpretation of other geochemical parameters were u… Show more

“…% to 4.22 wt. % (Akinlua and Torto, 2011). However, Doust and Omatsola (1990) point out that the beds with high TOC content are always very thin and commonly insignificant based on their studies on core samples from different wells in the basin.…”

“…However, Doust and Omatsola (1990) point out that the beds with high TOC content are always very thin and commonly insignificant based on their studies on core samples from different wells in the basin. The HI values of the thermally immature shales are also very low (e.g., 50-160 mg HC/g TOC) with an average value of 90 mg HC/g TOC (Bustin, 1988), 38 to 239 mg HC/g TOC (Akinlua and Torto, 2011). This shows that they have potential to generate gas and some oil (Baskin, 1997).…”

“…However, in continental margin basins, terrigenous organic matter (TOM) input is also a significant factor on marine source rock formation. , Influenced by river-delta systems, TOM may contribute to marine source rocks in continental margin basins, as is the case in the Congo Basin and Niger Delta Basin. , These basins are located below the estuaries of large rivers, which may bring abundant TOM along with nutrients into the basin, giving rise to ocean surface plankton booms . However, a large number of detrital materials transported by rivers can also dilute marine productivity …”
