ABSTRACT This study present the results of the analysis and interpretation of aeromagnetic data over part of Adamawa trough with the aim of investigating the hydrocarbon potential of the study area. The study area covers an area of 12,000 km2 located between latitude 8.50oN and 9.50oN and longitudes 11.50oE and 12. 50oE. This study adopted both qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis to delineate the deep seated anomalies and estimate the sedimentary thickness for hydrocarbon maturation and accumulation respectively. Upward continuation and analytic signal techniques were used to delineate the deep seated structures using the total magnetic intensity map while three depth estimating techniques were employed to determine the thickness of sediments in the study area; Source parameter imaging, Euler deconvolution and spectral method. The analytic signal shows two major region; regions whose amplitude responses are high which are mainly basement intrusions with varying degree of deformations at the south-eastern to the central part the study area; and regions whose amplitude are low, which depicts regions with relatively good sedimentation at the northern part of the study area. The residual map was subjected to the depth estimating techniques and the results obtained corroborate; the SPI, Euler Deconvolution and Spectral method shows a thick sedimentation of 4.42 km, 4.20 km and 4.17 km at the north-eastern part of the study area respectively. The SPI, Euler deconvolution and the Spectral method reveal shallow depth of 0.06 km at the southeast, 0.10 km at the southeast and 0.42 km at the southwest part of the study area respectively. The maximum sedimentary thickness of above 4 km obtained in this study at the north-eastern part of the study area which corresponds to Numal is sufficient enough for hydrocarbon maturation and accumulation. The study area was found to have a good prospect for hydrocarbon exploration.
