“…The LST sand that lies directly on 3.7 Ma sequence boundary is more extensive in Chev-2 (200ft thick) than CHEV-1 (60ft thick), indicating that the fairway of one of the delta lobes [29] in the western part of the basin was along CHEV-2 during this period. The percentage of planktic foraminifera in the studied wells supported this assertion because CHEV-2 has the lowest (8%) confirming the suggestion of Whiteman [30] that clastic materials brought offshore through river channel destroys marine-dependent microfaunas.…”

Sequence stratigraphic interpretation of 2,and 3 Keywords: Depositional sequence, System tracts, Palynomorph, Well-Log, Sequence stratigraphy, Foraminifera. Contribution/ OriginalityThe study contributes to the existing literature on the Niger Delta Basin by integrating sedimentology, biostratigraphy, well logging and sequence stratigraphy to detect depositional sequences that can serve as reservoirs to substantially increase the oil reserves in the basin. It documents eighteen sequences based mainly on palynological signature in the basin.

“…Consequently, a simple sag and rift origin earlier suggested by [43,44,[50][51][52][53] may not justify the basin's evolution [47]. Paleogeographic reconstruction alludes that lacustrine environments were prevalent and elongate [54].…”

We carried out time-lapse analysis in a producing Niger Delta X-field, by first investigating the response and sensitivity of rock properties/attributes to lithology and pore fill in 3-D cross plot domain and by Gassmann's fluid substitution modeling. Furthermore, 4-D seismic data were inverted into acoustic impedance volumes through model based inversion scheme. This served as input into a multi-attribute neural network algorithm for the extraction of rock attribute volumes based on the results of the petrophysical log analysis. Subsequently, horizon slices of rock properties/ attributes were extracted from the inverted seismic data and analyzed. In this way, we mapped hydrocarbon depleted wells in the field, and identified probable by-passed hydrocarbon zones. Thus, the integration of well and time lapse seismic (4-D) data in reservoir studies has remarkably improved information on the reservoir economic potential, and enhanced hydrocarbon recovery factor.
