HYDROCARBON PLAY INDICATORS
Source Rocks:

Rocks with good source potential
have been mapped in the Graben
e.g. Kaiso Tonya.

Good source rocks reported in the
Waki-B1, Turaco, Mputa and
Waraga wells

Inferred from oil seeps

High quality lacustrine mature
source rocks encountered in the
wells drilled on the Turaco, Mputa
and Waraga prospects.
