Sequence stratigraphic analysis and hydrocarbon prospectivity of AMO Field, deep offshore Niger Delta, Nigeria

An integrated interpretation of processed 3D seismic data, a suite of well logs, biostratigraphic data and core photographs of AMO Field, deep offshore Niger Delta, is carried out for the sequence stratigraphic analysis of strata penetrated by wells. Lithologic and key stratigraphic surfaces, that i...
