oa The Application of Sequence Stratigraphic Techniques in the Zambezi Delta Area, South Mozambique: Providing New Insights into Prospectivity and Basin Evolution

A stratigraphic study of the Zambezi Delta area has been carried out, using sequence stratigraphy as a predictive tool, in order to re-evaluate the depositional and uplift history of the Mozambique Basin. The detailed stratigraphic framework which has been developed has aided the understanding of the chronostratigraphic evolution, reservoir distribution and palaeoshelf edge movement which in turn has improved the understanding of the petroleum system. The study has also supported recent work completed by ERCL on the origins of the Beira High
