Why is it important?
In one piece of write-up , it gives an overview of the source potentials of the Calabar Flank and the tectonic setting of the various sedimentary deposits from the geochemical point of view.
Perspectives
It is a must read for geoscientists around the world who deal essentially with evaluating the petroleum potentials of any sedimentary. Though preliminary, the methods applied are useful and gives the researcher a sense of understanding of the basin. From the findings, the basin has a very good potential for shale gas exploration, this the trend in which our future research within this basin and its like in the Nigerian region will be based.
