Well logs, biostratigraphic data, seismic data and semblance map which together form a multidisciplinary data approach, were utilized in the geological evaluation of hydrocarbon prospect FOB-Field, onshore Coastal Swamp Depobelt in the Niger Delta Basin. Structural interpretation of faults, correlation of wells and 3D seismic interpretation were carried out using Schlumberger’s window based petrel software integrated with various lines of evidence such as sequence boundaries and maximum flooding surfaces. The penetrated sedimentary succession was established to constrain the alternation of sand packages from proximal to distal. The studied wells were dated mid to late Miocene based on the geological position of the sequence boundary (10.35Ma) and geological ages of the Mfs (9.5MaMfs) and (10.4MaMfs) respectively corresponding to the Coastal Swamp Depobelt of the Niger Delta Basin. Integration of well logs, seismic, semblance, paleobathymetric and biostratigraphic data indicated mid to late Miocene and neritic to bathyal paleoenvironment of deposition. Integration of fault integrity, seismic, well logs and key stratigraphic markers were utilized to build a seismic facies model and a gross depositional environment model for the FOB-Field.

This study was carried out by using well logs to evaluate the depositional environments and hydrocarbon reservoirs in the Otuma oil field, Niger Delta basin. The gamma motif/model within- study interval in the drilled well shows blocky, symmetrical, and serrated shapes which suggest a deltaic front with mouth bar to a regressive - transgressive shoreface delta respectively. A correlation was done on the well logs across the wells and the ten well logs were used to evaluate the petrophysical characteristics of the reservoirs. The reservoirs showed highly porous and permeable channels where the wells were used for the characterization. The ten reservoirs were mapped at a depth range of 2395 m to 2919 m with thicknesses varying from 4m to 135m. The petrophysical results of the field showed that the porosity of the reservoirs ranges between 0.10 to 0.30, and permeability from 48 md to 290 md; the water saturation ranges from 0.39 to 0.52, and hydrocarbon saturation from the field 0.48 to 0.61. The By-passed hydrocarbons identified in low resistivity pay sands D4 and D3 at depth 2649 m to 2919 m, respectively were also evaluated and will be put to production in the field.

Volumetric reserve estimation had been carried out as well as deducing the reservoir geometry of Idje field. Idje field is an 8.4 km2 area between latitudes 4°31’49”N and 4°33’23” N and longitudes 4°34’43”E and 4°36'17"E offshore Niger Delta in a water depth of approximately 1000 m on the continental slope. Well logs suites from ten wells comprising gamma-ray, resistivity, neutron and density were obtained and analyzed. From the result, it was observed that the reservoir was a sedimentary dome possibly resulting from an underlying shale diaper. The volumetric reserve estimate for the D-3 reservoir shows that it contains 15.8 million barrels of oil and 32 billion cubic feet of gas. If the field is produced at the rate of 10,000 barrels per day, it would yield production for approximately 4 years before subsequent secondary and tertiary recovery measures would be employed.

The sediment of #3 Well of the Greater Ughelli Depobelt are represented by sand and shale intercalation. In this study, lithofacies analysis and X-ray diffraction technique were used to characterize the sediments from the well. The lithofacies analysis was based on the physical properties of the sediments encountered from the ditch cuttings.  Five lithofacies types of mainly sandstone, clayey sandstone, shaly sandstone, sandy shale and shale and 53 lithofacies zones were identified from 15 ft to 11295 ft. The result of the X-ray diffraction analysis identified that the following clay minerals – kaolinite, illite/muscovite, sepiolite, chlorite, calcite, dolomite; with kaolinite in greater percentage. The non-clay minerals include quartz, pyrite, anatase, gypsum, plagioclase, microcline, jarosite, barite and fluorite; with quartz having the highest percentage. Therefore, due to the high percentage of kaolinite in #3 well, the pore filing kaolinite may have more effect on the reservoir quality than illite/muscovite, chlorite and sepiolite. By considering the physical properties, homogenous and heterogeneous nature of the #3 Well, it would be concluded that #3 Well has some prospect for petroleum and gas exploration.
