The Use of Seismic Attributes and Well Logs in Delineating Kick Horizon; A Case Study of Nova Well, Niger Delta Basin, Nigeria

Predrill pore pressure prediction of the NOVA well suggested that drilling program was in agreement with available seismic surveys. However, a kick encountered while during well. The study carried out to ascertain cause horizon Well, using attributes and log. Eight stratigraphic horizons were characterized describe amplitude variations. top base picked sculptured create sub-volume maps.The results revealed shaly unit. far off bright amplitudes could have delivered high which trigger kick. Faulting, shallow water gas flows been as possible causes A kill weight mud should be factored into operations produce hydrostatic where is entering order prevent blow out.
