dc.description.abstractThe report comprises a detailed compilation of findings from the Semliki basin field study in the Albertine area, Western Uganda. The materials and methodology used to achieve the main objective; collection and interpretation of stratigraphic, petrographic, sedimentology and structural data, have been outlined and discussed in a single chapter and the study results and interpretations as well as discussions and conclusions about the petroleum system of the study area clearly presented in the succeeding chapters that is a clear differentiation of the lithology and stratigraphy of the basement rock and that of the overlying sediments, an integration of basin analysis concepts in interpretations, facies analysis elements and facies analysis interpretations from observed lithologic units, structures in the basement rock and sediments as well as geophysics of the basin. The Semliki basin is generally filled with Middle Miocene to recent age sediments exhibiting a fining upward sequence (characteristic of fluvial systems) from conglomerates (overlying the basement rock) to sands to silts to clays. It is structurally wedge shaped and majorly comprises faults, joints, laminations and bedding planes, cross beds, foliations, quartz veins, unconformities, soft sediment deformation structures among others. The southern part of this basin has the highest elevation but the smallest thickness of accumulated sediments whereas the depocenter (5km thickness of sediments) is in the northern part of the Semliki basin. The basin has a valid petroleum system evidenced by the abundance of excellent reservoirs, regionally mature source rocks, traps, intraformational and regional seals as well as hydrocarbon-migration pathways in the basin.en_US
