Delineating Favorable Hydrocarbon Zones in X-Field

Abstract

This study evaluated the X-Field within the Niger Delta basin for its potential to hold hydrocarbons. A synergistic approach combining seismic data analysis and well log interpretation was employed to pinpoint favorable reservoir zones. Seismic sections identified rollover anticlines, ideal structures for trapping oil and gas. Well logs from five locations (NEM-10 to NEM-4) pinpointed four potential reservoirs (A, B, C, and F). Reservoirs A and B displayed encouraging characteristics, with A in Well NEM-10 exhibiting the most promise based on porosity and permeability. A closer look at these key reservoirs using core data from Well-7 confirmed the interpretations from well logs, revealing high permeability and good to high porosity. By integrating various data sources, the study strengthens the case for hydrocarbon exploration in the X Field. This approach identified potential traps, porous rock for storage, and promising reservoir properties, particularly in Reservoir A of Well NEM-10.
