ABSTRACT Interpretation of structures and reservoir characterization using 3D seismic cube and well data pose great challenges in mapping because of their complexities especially in structural deformations, and where identification of reservoir facies is a major challenge to plan delineation, field appraisal and development drilling. Thus, the project work takes a model approach. The ―DIBA‖ Field in the Niger Delta contains hydrocarbons that are largely trapped in sandstones and unconsol...
ABSTRACT An integrated seismic interpretation using 3-D seismic data, check shot data and a suite of well logs for four wells were analyzed with the Petrel (seismic to simulation software). The objectives were to carry out a detailed formation evaluation, reservoir characterisation and a 3-D assisted structural interpretation of the densely faulted oil field in the coastal depo-belt of the Niger Delta. RMS amplitude, instantaneous frequency map and interval average extraction maps were ext...
ABSTRACT Hydro-Geo-electrical study of subsurface geology of Item area, South-eastern Nigeria has been carried out involving twenty-four Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) of which the schlumberger electrode configuration was employed for the field data acquisition. A maximum of half the current electrode separation (AB/2) of 1000m was used. The VES data were interpreted using conventional partial curve matching method to obtain initial model parameters while the computer iterative modell...
ABSTRACT An integrated structural interpretation of part of the Calabar Flank and environs was carried out using high resolution aeromagnetic (HRAM) and Landsat-ETM+ data to study magnetic basement depth, structure and tectonics of the study area. It is believed that result of this study will help in making far reaching inferences of the hydrocarbon and geothermal potentials of the study area. Several image processing and analytical techniques were applied to both the aeromagnetic and Lan...
ABSTRACT Detailed hydro -geophysical and hydro-geochemical studies were carried out in part of the Niger Delta Basin Nigeria. The objectives were to map and provide evidences that the coastal aquifers in the study area have been intruded by saltwater and to establish analytical/empirical relationships between resistivity and geochemical parameters. Twenty three vertical electrical sounding (VES) data employing the Schlumberger electrode configuration were acquired in different parts of th...
