- •
Three generations of faults have affected the Benin Basin.
- •
The Basement topography is not flat but of rugose morphology characteristic of horst and graben architecture.
- •
Thickness of sedimentary section attained 4 km within the graben and was viewed as having significant hydrocarbon potential.
- •
Geometry of surface features such as coastline and Lagoons are structurally controlled.
