Abstract
Niger Delta Basin is one of the world’s most active oil producing basins made up of
structural features that, if poorly understood could prevent the best possible
hydrocarbon production. In Order to develop the field, it is crucial to understand the
complex structural links between the region’s fault networks and stratigraphic
stacking patterns. The only tools available for studying and interpreting geologic
structural subsurface characteristics are 2D and 3D seismic data paired with drilling
data. Utilizing the Petrel 2017 software, 3D seismic, well log and structural
interpretation were done to evaluate the reservoirs potential for hydrocarbon
production. The study makes use of advanced seismic data collecting and processing techniques to
build 3D subsurface models with a high level of detail. This research aims to locate
probable hydrocarbon reservoirs, evaluate their geometry, estimate reservoir
characteristics, and assess the total reservoir potential within the Niger Delta Basin by
integrating geological and geophysical data. Our research focuses on locating structural elements, stratigraphic variations, and
fluid interactions inside the reservoirs. We develop thorough geological models using
state-of-the-art software and visualization tools, allowing precise reservoir mapping
and volumetric calculations. The results of this project offer useful advice for the sustainable use of the area's
hydrocarbon resources in addition to deepening our understanding of the geological
complexity of the basin
