Abstract

The Dahomey Basin is an amalgamation of inland/coastal/offshore basin that expanses from southeastern Ghana through Togo and the Republic of Benin to southwestern Nigeria. It is separated from the Niger Delta by a subsurface basement high referred to as the Okitipupa Ridge. The Cretaceous Abeokuta group is the oldest and the thickest group of sediment in the Dahomey basin. The Abeokuta group is composed of the Ise, Afowo and Araromi Formation. Ise Formation unconformably overlies the bedrock complex of Southwestern Nigeria. This unit consists of conglomerates, grits, coarse to medium grained sands interbedded with kaolinite.
