In this work, 3D seismic data and wireline logs have been integrated to carry-out the optimum hydrocarbon exploration in order to delineate and assess the viability of the available petroleum prospects for proper planning of exploitation programmes in the “USOR” field. The field, which covers an area of 178 km2, is located onshore, on the coastal swamp depobelt of Niger delta. The standard method of identifying reservoirs and correlation based on log pattern, petrophysical analysis of the reservoirs, generation of synthetic seismograms, seismic-to-well tie and delineation of reservoir tops and bases as seismic horizons on seismic volume, fault mapping, generation of timeand depth-structure maps from the mapped horizons, delineation of prospects, modeling of reservoir petrophysical properties and volumetric analysis were employed. Three vertically stacked reservoirs (UR1 to.. View More»
