Data acquisition in 3D seismic is influenced by various elements. They may range from lithological features, terrain or environmental conditions to acquisition design parameters, instrumentation, and data collection style. This paper considers the design param…
Ayok et al. · Vol. 15 No. 1 · 2025
Increasing interest in oil and gas exploration in the Nigerian inland frontier basin has necessitated re-evaluating the once-neglected Late Cretaceous Hydrocarbon Source Rocks from the basins. In this study, hydrocarbon generation characteristics of representa…
Obaje and Anor · Vol. 7 No. 2 · 2017
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has commenced another round of exploration campaigns for possible hydrocarbon deposits in the Nigerian Benue Trough. The Benue Trough, divided into lower, middle and upper portions, is a SW-NE trending intracr…
Lar et al. · Vol. 8 No. 2 · 2018
Petroleum exploration have been ongoing in the northern Benue Trough Nigeria, with little success in locating commercial oil pool. Clastic petroleum reservoir has been the main exploration target in the region, despite existence of other possible petroleum res…

…n where the axial plane of the Enugu crestal high projects to the surface. A regional seismic line was interpreted, and the results corroborated with those from well data and field studies to show a relatively continuous structural trend, from the oceanic to t…
Bata et al. · Vol. 8 No. 1 · 2018
This study presents for the first-time field, petrographic and geochemical evidence of oil residue in exhumed fractured Precambrian basement rocks of the Northern Benue Trough. The studied oil residues which are brittle solids, are believed to have been emplac…

…especially in the oil and gas industry where there are dangers during activities like exploration, drilling, production etc. Workers can be exposed to dangerous gases, like hydrogen sulfide. To keep everyone safe, we need three important things: managing these…
Eze and Mbachi · Vol. 7 No. 2 · 2017
First break picking involves detecting the onset arrivals of refracted signals from a single signal source at the individual receiver in a receiver array. First-break picking can be done manually or automatically. This work outlines the procedures and benefits…
Oladele et al. · Vol. 7 No. 2 · 2017
…rvoir sands (A-G) with structural traps, were carefully analyzed through well log and seismic interpretation. Amplitude extraction generated on the reservoir sands showed that only reservoirs: C and E are of goods and quality of possible hydrocarbon prospects.…
