Palynological zonation and biostratigraphy of the nkporo formation from the akukwa-2 well, Anambra basin, Southeastern Nigeria

AAAmeh Ameh

Key Points

  • This research aims to determine the age, stratigraphic correlation, and palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of the Nkporo Formation.
  • Conducted biostratigraphic analysis of ten ditch cutting samples from the Akukwa-2 well.
  • Studied palynomorph assemblages to assess subsurface data.
  • Focused on understanding the depositional history and hydrocarbon potential.
  • Identified distinct palynological zones in the Nkporo Formation.
  • Provided insights into the hydrocarbon potential of the Anambra Basin.
  • Established a framework for stratigraphic correlation based on palynological data.

Abstract

Biostratigraphic analysis of sedimentary sequences remains a fundamental approach for age determination, stratigraphic correlation, and palaeoenvironmental reconstruction, particularly through the study of palynomorph assemblages. The Akukwa-2 well, located within the Nkporo Formation of the Anambra Basin, southeastern Nigeria, provides valuable subsurface data for understanding the depositional history and hydrocarbon potential of the basin. A total of ten ditch cutting samples were subjecte
