pdf Geological conditions and model of bitumoids formation in the Fresco area of the western sector of the Côte d'Ivoire basin
A model for the formation of bitumoids in the Fresco region (sedimentary basin of Côte d'Ivoire, Western Africa) and an assessment of the prospects for petroleum potential of the Upper Cretaceous-Cenozoic strata of the Fresco area based on geological and geochemical studies are presented. It is shown that in the Fresco region there are no thermobaric conditions for the generation of hydrocarbons. It has been established that bitumoids were formed during the thermal destruction of organic matter to the west of the Fresco area, which has a significant thickness of the sedimentary cover. Bitumoids arose as a result of desorption, primary migration and accumulation of hydrocarbons in the Fresco region.

Keywords: geological and geochemical studies, petroleum prospects, Upper Cretaceous-Cenozoic strata, bitumoid formation model, Fresco region, Ivory Coast sedimentary basin, Western Africa.
