This book on Northern Kenya’s Petroleum and Geothermal Resources Prospectivity involves a synoptic overview of geological implications, tectonic features, and subsurface stratigraphical studies of the great East African Rift System (EARS), where recent plays and geothermal manifestations have been discovered. Tectonism was brought out by continental rifting as a part of the major Gondwanaland breakup in the Late Paleozoic time, and continued in the Mesozoic and Tertiary. This movement was accompanied by a stupendous outpouring of the lava flows within several horst- and graben- like structural systems caused by extensional rifting, block faulting and subsidence, resulting in favourable petroleum and geothermal zones. This comprehensive overview of applied geology underscores the importance of essential skills required for geoscientists to unravel these vital energy resources in Kenya’s EARS.
