Delineation of a Productive Zone in " Abjnr " Oil Field, Southwestern Niger Delta (original) (raw)

2014, The International Journal of Engineering and Science (IJES)

3-D seismic data was engaged to delineate a productive zone in the "Abjnr" oil field, Southwestern Niger Delta. Structural maps generated, contoured in time and depth reveal a region with structural high to indicate hydrocarbon accumulation. The reservoir area extent was determined using the planimeter software method. The structural maps produced revealed fault dependent closures at the central portion of the field, which serve as a possible trapping mechanism for the reservoir. The study indicates a productive zone enclosed within the centre of the study location based on the associated structural high, depth of occurrence, fault assisted traps and other seismic attributes.
