HYDROCARBON CHARACTERIZATION AND PROSPECT IDENTIFICATION OF YZ FIELD, NIGER DELTA

📄 Project Abstract

3D seismic data interpretation and well log analysis have been carried out for hydrocarbon characterization and additional prospect identification in YZ field, in the Northern Ughelli Depobelt of Niger Delta. Recently, major focus within the Niger Delta has been tending towards the regeneration of older fields and the identification of new prospects from these old fields. To this end, indigenous companies have been involved in developing marginal fields and the search for additional prospects is pertinent in developing and expanding the profitability of these fields. The data utilized for the analysis of YZ field were 3D migrated seismic data, 6 composite well logs and check shot. The well logs were correlated in the North to South direction. Synthetic seismogram was generated to aid mapping of the reservoir tops across the 3D seismic data coverage. Faults were delineated and mapped on the 3D seismic data by identifying abrupt terminations of seismic reflections. Seismic attributes ana...
