Integrated Sequence Stratigraphy and Paleo-Geomorphic Perspectives of Passive Margins: A case study of Beta Field, Niger Delta

Abstract

A study of Integrated Sequence Stratigraphy and Paleo-Geomorphic Perspectives of Passive Margins in Beta Field, Niger Delta has been undertaken. The method adopted involved an integration of seismic and well data in predicting stratigraphic prospects. Amplitude analysis revealed the relationship between the faults and paleo-geomorphic features with hydrocarbon bearing potentials. Paleo-geomorphology was used in the imagery, interpretation and prediction of the distribution of possible hydrocarbon deposits.  The technique will enhance basin reconnaissance and facilitate field development.
