Willis Committee Members, Steven L. Dorobek William. Bryant Head of Department, Richard F. Carlson December 2005 Major Subject: Geology iii ABSTRACT Sequence Stratigraphy of Niger Delta, Robertkiri Field, Onshore Nigeria. (December 2005) Olusola Akintayo Magbagbeola, B.Sc. (Honors); University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria; M.Sc., University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Brian J. Willis Deposits of Robertkiri field, in the central offshore area of Niger Delta, comprise a 4 km thick succession of Pliocene to Miocene non-marine and shallow marine deposits. A sequence stratigraphic framework for Robertkiri field strata was constructed by combining data from 20 well logs and a seismic volume spanning 1400 km2. Major sequences, hundreds of meters thick, define layers of reservoir and sealing strata formed during episodic progradation and retrogradation of deltaic shorelines. These deposits progress upward from fine-grained prodelta and deep water shales of the Akata Formation through paralic sandstone-shale units of the Agbada Formation and finally to sandy non-marine deposits of the Benin Formation.

M. B.1167 Uyo, Nigeria. 2Pioneer -Alfa Petroleum Services Ltd, Benin City, Edo State. Nigeria. Received 31 July 2019; Accepted 30 March, 2020 An integrated approach to Seismic interpretation that combines techniques of sequence stratigraphic analysis, seismic facies analysis and attribute analysis is one of the most effective approaches for hydrocarbon exploration in growth-faulted deltaic strata of offshore eastern Niger Delta. These strata are generally thick paralic/marine units deposited along an unstable progradational continental margin. Here, shale ridges, toe thrusts and diapirism are common features. Thus, system tracts along this margin differ significantly from those described for classic stable progradational continental margins. Development of good reservoir sands, on the shales of the upper transgressive systems tract form barriers which are good, particularly on the outer shelf where high stand systems tract sediments accumulate. Alternation of the high stand systems tract sands and transgressive systems tract shales provides a bridge linking reservoir facies with the shales or seals of TST which is essential for hydrocarbon accumulation and its stratigraphic trapping in the study field.

Nigeria *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Sedimentological analysis of core samples from Well XY-62 located within the greater Ughelli depobelt of the Niger Delta basin was carried out. Some physical deterioration had set in and some gaps had reduced the total core length available to 316 .90ft. The cores contain three sandstone and one mudrock lithofacies: Fine-grained mm- scale laminated sandstone (Sl.f) 40.83%, medium to coarse-grained cm-scale cross-bedded sandstone (Sx.m) 35.34%, pebbly Sandstone (PS) 4.39%, bedded Mudstone (Mb) 19.44%. The sandstone lithofacies differ from one another mainly in grain size, as appears obvious, otherwise they are largely texturally, compositionally, diagenetically and structurally broadly similar. They are generally clean (zero to 20% clay content), moderately well to well sorted, pebbly, and texturally mature. Quartz appears to be the sole framework component, making the sandstones mineralogically mature i.e. quartz arenites and quartz wackes. Being generally weakly consolidated and scantily cemented, the sandstones are all in the early stages of diagenesis, an attribute that has had a desirable effect on their reservoir quality. The bedded mudstone lithofacies contains laminated claystones and fissile shales which are all thought to have compartmentalized the sand reservoirs rather than sealed them.

  • Sedimentary Facies and Paleoenvironment of the Lower Pleistocene Sogwipo Formation, Cheju Island, Korea
    Mar.1995 第 四 紀 研 究(The Quaternary Research) 34 (1)p. 19-38 Sedimentary Facies and Paleoenvironment of the Lower Pleistocene Sogwipo Formation, Cheju Island, Korea Soon-Seok Kang* The Sogwipo Formation is distributed along the southern coast of Cheju Island, Korea, and is covered by Middle Pleistocene volcanic lava flows. These sediments are composed of mainly light grey fine to medium sandstones, muddy sandstones, mudstones, volcanic ashes and vol- canic clasts with characteristic shell beds and trace fossils. This formation contains the mol- luscan fossils of the Omma-Manganzian fauna. The deposits can be divided into eleven sedimentary facies associations which are made in a grouping of nine sedimentary lithofacies and six sedimentary biofacies. On the basis of facies analysis, it is determined that all sedimentary facies associations were deposited at the inner shelf to foreshore and bay environments and that they were formed in a open sea to bay fluc- tuation system, controlled by glacio-eustatic sea level change. The depositional process of the Sogwipo Formation is summarized on transgression, gradual regression and transgression stages with a ravinement surface ascendant upwards. The trans- gression stage mainly consists of massive shoreface sands within a channelized compact shell bed. The gradual regression stage showed change from a open shelf to a beach system grad- ually, while the transgression stage with transgressive conglomerate is indicated in shoreface to bay system produced by geographic changes of the sedimentary basin as the shoreline re- treated during the transgression. It consists of lower shoreface shell beds and tuffaceous silt- stone. The uppermost bay sediment suggests that the sedimentary basin was buried in rapid sedimentation by strong volcanic activity.

    ISBN: 978-978-968-294-2 Proceedings of First & Second International Conferences of the Nigerian Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (NAEGE), A LEAD PAPER (2016) Lagos, Nigeria, 2016 & 2017 (Vol. 1), 2018. Sustainability of Structures and Environment: Challenges for Engineering Geology Profession in the 21st Century Akpokodje E.G. Department of Geology, University of Port Harcourt, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Corresponding E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The concepts of sustainable development and sustainability stipulate that human economic and social development should take place without irreversible damages to the carrying capacity of the Earth's natural environment and significant depletion of non-renewable resources. The sustainable management of the Earth's finite natural resources in the face of unprecedented global population growth and climate change is one of the most profound challenges facing human society in the 21st century. Although an integrated and holistic resource management approach encompassing all disciplines has been recognized and recommended, sectoral and disciplinary approaches are still prevalent in practice. In order to enable engineering geologists play a more active role in the trans-disciplinary resource management approach and contribute meaningfully to the sustainability of engineering structures and the environment, a paradigm shift from the traditional study of planet earth as isolated discrete components to the concept of integrated whole earth system approach (Earth System Science) is imperative. This involves knowledge of the interactions between all the components of the earth system (atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, and geosphere) and embraces a systems thinking approach. Engineering geologists should not only focus on the geological factors controlling the structural stability of civil engineering structures, but also on the present and future environmental, economic and social issues including decision-making, policy, and governance.
