3D structural and stratigraphic characterization of X field Niger Delta: implications for CO2 sequestration

Abstract Carbon capture and sequestration technology has been a ground-breaking tool in tackling carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions worldwide but limitedly researched practised Africa at present. Considering the vast growth developmental level continent, there is need to consider this option of mitigating global climate change. In study, systematic process-based incorporation seismic well logs datasets was used characterize structural stratigraphic framework sandstone reservoirs within field order determine their capacities for effective CO sequestration. Petrophysical analysis, fault modelling as geostatistical techniques were build facies property models which enabled qualitative assessment sealing potential faults associated with based on prediction key properties such shale gouge ratio, lithological juxtaposition, permeability transmissibility across faces. Nine water-bearing (reservoirs A–J) varying reservoir quality identified field. The dominance high SGR, low permeability, higher throws values lower parts indicates deeper traps are low-risk zones might serve good storage areas .
