The field trip route is from PH to Enugu. This route will give the participants the whole coverage of the Formations in the eastern flank of the Anambra Basin. Also, the field trip will help the participants appreciate better, the problem of dealing with hydrocarbon potentials of the basin in terms of source rock, reservoir and seal.

Department of Geology, University of Port-Harcourt, River State, Nigeria. To help us quickly and accurately process your abstract, please use this format to submit your abstract. Your abstract will appear in the Technical Session Abstract Book EXACTLY the way you submit it. There will be absolutely NO EDITING of the 250-word abstracts.
