Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Total organic carbon (TOC) is the main measurement used for estimating the quality and productivity of a source rock. The source rock-usually an organic rich shale-contains various carbon compounds such as kerogen, bitumen, oil and gas.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Ghanaian portion of this formation is known as Tano Basin and it covers 1, 165 sqkm between the mouths of the Ankobra River in the east and the Tano River in the west.
