Abstract
Summary
Oil and gas has been discovered in the East African Rift System where sediment deposition and its architecture evolved during Miocene. Tanzania has yet to discover oil considering presence of rift system compared to Uganda in the Albertine Graben and Kenya in Turkana valley. Tanzania is intending to work in the Eyasi-Wembere depression where limited geological and geophysical information has been established.
Due to lack or limited data in the area of interest, acquisition of Airborne Gravity Gradiomentry survey will be applied as it is quick and affordable but will effectively provide a workflow for future follow-up.
