Major oil exploration efforts started in the 70s in the Meso-Cenozoic Anza Rift and Cenozoic Turkana Depression of northern Kenya. Thick piles of fluvio-lacustrine sandstones and shales infill these different rift basins. West of Lake Turkana, the Auwerwer/Lomerimong Formation is part of the Palaeogene-middle Miocene age, 7km-thick fluvio-lacustrine infill of the Lokichar half-graben. East of Lake...
Source rocks identified by drilling (Loperot-1 well) in the Lokichar Basin of the northern Kenya Rift were evaluated for source potential using RockEval pyrolysis and palynofacies analysis. Results indicate moderate to good oil source potential from algal-prone source rocks. The original sediments accumulated in a large freshwater lake similar to some modern rift lakes. In the Loperot-1 well, the...
