Abstract
Rift trough of Central Africa have been studied in detail since the early 1980s and during this time, signifi-cant hydrocarbon reserves were discovered within these structures. The most promising is the Mujlad basin, within which the thickness of the sedimentary cover can reach 13,5 km. Analysis of the core material made it possible not only to isolate facies complexes and sedimentation environments, but also to link them spatially. Usage of sequence stratigraphy methods made it possible to qualitatively dissociate the sufficiently massive deposits of the Abu Gabra formation into synchronous intervals and determine the most promising areas of hydrocarbons accumulation.
