Biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy of the deep offshore Niger Delta and implications for future hydrocarbon exploration in the Paleogene sequences

Abstract: The Niger Delta Deep Offshore Basin has been the latest frontier within the Niger Delta for hydrocarbon exploration and production activities. Until the onset of drilling activities in the early nineteen nineties, little was known about the biostratigraphy of this frontier setting. Thus, uncertainties existed in the ages ascribed to the various stratigraphic sequences. Presently, several wells have been drilled in the Deep Offshore Niger Delta and a three-pronged biostratigraphic data and some sequence stratig… Show more

“…Large amount of data from several thousands of drilled wells have led to a considerable understanding of the stratigraphy and regional geology of the delta. Information have been published on petroleum sedimentology by various workers including: (Short andStauble, 1967, Weber andDaukoru 1975) and biostratigraphy by (Adegoke, et al 1971, Seiglie, et al 1982, Ozumba 1995, Adeniran, 1997, Umoh and Fasina, 2019 from the western Niger Delta. The stratigraphy, Sedimentology, structural configuration and paleo environment during which the reservoir rocks accumulated have been studied by various workers (Short and Stauble, 1967;Weber, 1971;Weber and Daukoru, 1975;Evamy et al, 1978;Rider, 2002;Selley, 1978, Amigun, et al, 2012, Emujakporue, 2016Victor et al, 2019, Aigbogun andMujakperuo, 2020).…”
