Abstract
Summary
Two potential source rocks have been identified and mapped using recently acquired seismic data along the South African margin. One of these overlies transitional crust along the passive margin off the west coast, and the other overlies oceanic crust along the transform margin of the east coast. This study aims to draw inferences on both source rocks and their hydrocarbon potential, and their significance for petroleum exploration along the South African margin.
