Evaluation of the reservoir architectural elements in deepwater turbidites of Niger Delta – a case study from the “AFUN” Field

3D post-stack time migrated seismic data and a suite of composite well log from six wells drilled within the “AFUN” field Niger delta were used to effect detailed interpretation field. This was with view delineating architectural elements that control reservoir quality deepwater turbidite reservoir. The analyses done using Petrel software. LAS file logs imported into software as SEG.Y. data. Fault horizon mapping based on well-seismic tie generated seismogram. Time depth structure maps created. Thirty faults which include growth faults, reverse collapsed crest are synthetic antithetic mapped. believed act pathways for updip movement hydrocarbon Akata Formation Agbada Formation. structural showed area has been subjected compressional deformation resulted in faulting system toe thrust zone influenced by shale diapirs. revealed contour closures belong an anticlinal is forming traps reservoirs. structures faulted North-South trending rollover anticlines. It also shown distribution type i.e. fractures fan have major impact upon distribution, continuity connectivity sand/shale bodies. study concluded style facies architecture two fundamental defined heterogeneity Field.
