High resolution 3-D seismic and sequence stratigraphy for reservoir prediction in 'Stephi' field, offshore Niger Delta, Nigeria.

ABSTRACT: The Offshore Niger Delta, Nigeria, stands as a dynamic geological marvel, known for its intricate processes and extensive hydrocarbon reservoirs. This study employed an integrated approach, utilizing 3D seismic data and well logs, to conduct a thorough analysis of sequence stratigraphy and reservoir characterization in the pursuit of optimizing hydrocarbon exploration in the region. The study focused on the NW-SE trending Miocene depocenters, which predominantly comprises alternating sandstone and thick shale layers within the Agbada Formation. These reservoir units showcased stacked shallow marine fluvial-deltaic sediments, separated by significant marine shale units. Within the study area, two hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs were identified and named: R1 and R2. Petrophysical analysis ide
