Evolutionary Dynamics of the East African Rift System: Implications for Hydrocarbon Exploration
Abstract: Rifts formation is a complex mechanism that has always generated debate with different models beingfronted, from thermal bulges to cratonic pull, all in an attempt to explain how the rifts form. East Africarift system (EARS), and its associated sedimentary basins within the general regional tectonicframework is one of the most active rifts in the world. The EARS has, over the years, experienced someoil and gas exploration though characteristically low. However, …
