Lithofacies, bio-sequence stratigraphy and paleoenvironment of the cretaceous-neogene at the BG-1 well, offshore Eastern Dahomey Basin, Nigeria: implications for future exploration and development efforts

Late Cretaceous-Miocene foraminiferas were recovered from the BG-1 well in the offshore Eastern Dahomey Basin. Four (4) lithostratigraphic units comprising Ogwashi-Asaba, Upper Araromi, Lower Araromi and Afowo Formations have been delineated and assigned based on the textural characteristics of the sediments. Forty-nine (49) foraminiferal species were identified, with a total count of 47 calcareous species (96
