Postrift depositional evolution and sequence stratigraphy from offshore subsurface data of the Kribi-Campo subbasin (Cameroon, West African margin)

Abstract: Using 2D seismic data and well logs from the Kribi-Campo subbasin in the south Cameroon margin, we have analyzed the postrift succession with the aim of deriving a chronostratigraphic chart and identifying stratigraphic traps. The Kribi-Campo subbasin related to the rifting between Africa and South America could be divided into a structurally complex eastern depocenter and a relatively less disturbed western depocenter in which a break-up unconformity approximately 107.5 Ma underlined the beginning of postrift… Show more

“…Basin stratigraphy from Paleocene to Pleistocen of Kribi-Cambo Basin. Stratigraphy of the basin is interpreted from 3D seismic data with the inference age from Gulf of Guinea and 2D seismic interpretation of Kribi-Cambo Basin (Lawrence et al, 2002;Iboum Kissaaka et al, 2016). Due to the lack of well data in the basin, depth conversion assumes a similar lithological composition to the Rio-Muni Basin, and a Vp velocity of 1,850 m/s has been used for the Tertiary sediments (Turner, 1995).…”

“…Sequence stratigraphy has gradually become a useful tool for studying sedimentary reservoir distribution within the hydrocarbon industry (Tinker, 1996;Lin et al, 2001;Zhu et al, 2008;Iboum Kissaaka et al, 2016;Rivera et al, 2018). The three-order sequence stratigraphic boundary was determined based on the unconformity The study interval is Es 3 reflection characteristics of the slope area and its corresponding conformity reflection characteristics of the non-slope area via seismic data.…”

“…The post-rift sequence in the study area is characterized by sand-rich turbidity channel belts and basin floor to toe-of-slope fans (Wornardt, 1999;Sterling, 2010;Le, 2012;Iboum et al, 2016;Loule et al, 2018;Yugye et al, 2021) (Fig. 2).…”

“…In the more proximal settings (i.e., east of Kribi-Campo High), there are multiple submarine incisions of several kilometres wide and some amalgamated cut-and-fill submarine channel complexes downslope and parallel to present-day shelf-break for most of the Paleocene section (Wornardt, 1999;Le, 2012;Iboum et al, 2016). The late Eocene-early Oligocene tectonic event facilitated a relative sea-level fall, responsible for the widespread erosion and non-deposition in the deep-water of Douala Basin (Wornardt, 1999;Helm, 2009;Mvondo, 2010;Iboum et al, 2016;Ngo et al, 2018;Le, 2021) (Fig. 2).…”
