Hydrocarbon prospectivity in the Eastern Coastal Swamp Depo-belt of the Niger Delta Basin : stratigraphic framework and structural styles

This book broadens readers' understanding of the stratigraphic framework and structural styles for improved hydrocarbon prospectivity in the intermediate and deeper horizons of the eastern Coastal Swamp Depo-belt of Nigeria's Niger Delta Basin. It equips readers to interpret complex sedime...
