Structural characterization and interpretation of 3d seismic data in the rnd field, offshore Niger delta, Nigeria

The RnD Field lies at the Coastal Swamp to Offshore Depobelt boundary of the Niger Delta in southern Nigeria and covers 143.5 km². A three dimensional post stack time migrated seismic volume was interpreted in Petrel to characterise the structural framework, to delineate seismic facies, and to identify petroleum traps. Thirty two faults were mapped, comprising five major and twenty seven minor structures that express growth, structure building, back to back, antithetic, and counter regional s
