Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLithofacies and Depositional Environment from Geophysical Logs of EMK Field, Deepwater Niger Delta, NigeriaEmeka A. Nwagwu, Godwin O. Emujakporue, Sylvester A. Ugwu, R. OghonyaThe lithofacies and environments of deposition of the EMK field, in parts of the deepwater zone of Niger Delta Basin, have been carried out. Geophysical well logs from two deep oil wells were used. Shale and sand were identified in the gamma ray logs. The shale lithology is more dominant than the sand and this was interpreted as the marine … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 4 Dec 2019 · 13,193 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLithofacies and Depositional Environment of Volcano-Sedimentary Deposits of Se Mayo Oulo BasinElie Fosso Menkem, David Sebag, Benjamin Ngounou Ngatcha, Alain DurandThe study of volcano-sedimentary deposits of Mangbai in SE Mayo Oulo basin-Cameroon leads to the identification of five major distinct lithofacies types. From the coarset to the finest lithofacies, there are: Gb-clast supported by massive coble and boulder, Gg-granule to massive gravel, Sm-massive sand, Sh-horizontal layered sandstones, Fml-massive laminated claystones. Coarse facies (Gb, Gg, Sm) are cemented with volcanic matrix … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 19 Dec 2013 · 7,375 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSedimentology and Ichnology of Late Oligocene Delta Front Reservoir Sandstone Deposit, Greater Ughelli Depobelt, Niger DeltaRaphael Oaikhena Oyanyan, Michael Ndubuisi OtiSedimentological and ichnological study of cored reservoir sands correlated with wireline logs between two wells, 0.8 km distance apart along dip direction, enabled vertical and cross sectional facies variability assessment aimed at determining intra sand-body continuity in longitudinal or down-dip direction; and sub-environments of deposition and factors that controlled depositional processes. Ten lithofacies described 62 meters cores of the reservoir … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 30 Jul 2015 · 7,832 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeterogeneities and Intra Sand-Body Compartmentalization in Late Oligocene Delta-Front Deposit, Niger Delta, NigeriaRaphael Oaikhena Oyanyan, Michael Ndubuisi OtiThis paper presents the study of the heterogeneity in lithofacies, porosity, permeability, mineral grain density, pore-throats sizes and hydraulic rock types and the intra sand-body compartmentalization in cored delta-front deposit of Greater Ughelli depobelt of Niger Delta. Sedimentological study of core samples results in the identification of nine lithofacies and the interpretation of environments of deposition as mainly proximal and … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2016 · 8,096 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSedimentology and Depositional Environment of D2 Sand in Part of Greater Ughelli Depobelt, Onshore Niger Delta, NigeriaPrince Suka Momta, Jonathan O. Omoboh, Minapuye I. OdigiThe sedimentology and depositional environment of D2 sand in part of the Greater Ughelli depobelt have been studied using well logs and core data. Three wells were correlated to establish the lateral continuity of the D2 sand across the field and standard gamma ray log trends was used to infer depositional environments. Cored section of well B was described to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 19 Sep 2015 · 8,592 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSEDIMENTARY FACIES AND DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENTS OF CENOZOIC SEDIMENTARY FORMATIONS CROPPING OUT AT THE CENTRAL PART OF THE DOUALA BASINBachirou Mfayakouo Chavom, Pierre R. Njike Ngaha, Dieudonné L. BitomThe Douala Basin is one of three units of the Cameroonian coastal basin in the Gulf of Guinea, formed from the east-west extension between African and South American plates generated during the opening of South Atlantic in the Early Cretaceous. This basin contains sediments from Lower Cretaceous to present. The Cretaceous depositional environments are well understood whereas there is very … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2015 · 7,940 accessesView PDF Cite
