Petroleum system, rift, sedimentary basin, tanganyka graben, sedimentary depositsAbstract
The Tanganyika graben is made up of oil systems generally related to the age of sedimentary deposits resulting from the contribution of organic detritus (animals and plants) from the rivers supplying the waters of lakes. At stade 1 of the tanganyka rift, the sandy bodies would be more important in the south than in the north. We believe that is at the level of the south that it would have the development of a good oil reservoir equivalent to lukula in the coast basin.
