  Analysis of Depositional Environments of UK Field Reservoir Sands in Niger Delta Basin, Nigeria
  Author(s): Kenneth Friday Uhuo*, Anthony U Okoro and James S Ukandu
  
  The environments of deposition play a vital role during hydrocarbon formation, migration, trapping and storage. Since the reservoir rocks are a function of their depositional environments, the successful tapping of hydrocarbon from its host rock when wells are drilled depends largely on the petrophysical characteristics of the reservoir rocks which in turn originated from and are influenced by their depositional environment. The reservoir facies in Niger Delta shows a broad range of characteristic sedimentological complexities that gave rise to subsurface geological, drilling and production problems occurring in UK Field. The problems include inaccurate determination of environments of deposition, imperfect stratigraphic correlations and reservoir top uncertainty across the UK Field which is targeted by this research in other to help resolve these challenges facin..
