CONTRIBUTION OF PETROGRAPHIC AND GEOCHEMICAL ANALYSES OF THE KIPALA SHALE (CENTRAL BASIN, DRC) TO THE ASSESSMENT OF ITS POTENTIAL AS A HYDROCARBON SOURCE ROCK

CONTRIBUTION OF PETROGRAPHIC AND GEOCHEMICAL ANALYSES OF THE KIPALA SHALE (CENTRAL BASIN, DRC) TO THE ASSESSMENT OF ITS POTENTIAL AS A HYDROCARBON SOURCE ROCK

A geological study of the Kipala region, in the "Cuvette Centrale" of the Democratic Republic of Congo, has identified two groups of shales: the dark greasy facies, interbedded with the brownish-gray facies. Their high Total Organic Carbon (TOC) content (11 % TOC on average for the dark g...
