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.. View More»
