Abstract

Backstripped tectonic subsidence curves of approximately 200 selected wells from marginal and intra-continental basins of the African plate are presented. A comparison of these data with the plate motions of the African plate from Late Jurassic until Recent supports a temporal and spatial correlation between phases of rapid subsidence and changes in plate motions and stress regime of the African plate.
