About the Cover

The block wells are located in the South-eastern Niger Delta area. It extends between latitude 4° 18¹ N and 4° 42¹N to Longitude 7° 6¹and 7º 36¹ E. Low hydrocarbon production recently recorded that led to the abandonment of the block wells is the drive towards this assessment. IN-3A, IN-4A and IN-5A wells were thus re-evaluated to shore-up the hydrocarbon production potential. Well logs, seismic, isochron data, time and depth structural maps generated from petrel platform are exploration tools for the study. Findings has shown that IN-3A has about 8 reservoir units ie BQC, AC- 1, BMS (P-4), BPS (1-1), BPS (1-2), BPS (1-3_2), (1-4) and 1-5 that constitute its play potential out of which BPS (1-3_2) and 1-5 constitute new pay sand units. IN-4A depositional sequence with 10 reservoir areas mapped out as its hydrocarbon play and include BPS (-1), BPS (1-2), BPS (1-1), 1-2, 1-3_2, 1-4, 1-5, J-1, J-2 and J-3 out of which BPS (1-1), 1-2, 1-3_2, J-1, J-2 and J-3 constitute new pay sand units mapped out with a high potential for more hydrocarbon production. Conversely, in IN-5A well, its depositional sequence revealed out of 10 reservoirs mapped out, no single pay zone was recorded.
