Geological Facies Model on Benin Offshore Basin

This project was based on a new geological evaluation in Benin offshore basin. With the aim of better understand the geological model different tools for hydrocarbon prospection were applied along the study Through the integration of 3D seismic data and the <br>available well data (three wells), it was possible to simulate the lithological facies in Benin Basin, between Romanche Fracture Zone and Chain Fracture Zone in Gulf of Guinea Province (West African Equatorial Margin). The methodology includes the seismic interpretation of the main structural and stratigraphic levels (10 stratigraphic leves were interpreted). As result of this model, it was observed that the Upper Cretaceous and Albian levels show good conditions for reservoir rocks because both contain a very good sandstones distribution southward. On the model, the seal distribution was also observed mainly for the Neogene levels. Finally, the presence of glauconite and limestone were identified below and in the Albian level showing a shallow marine deposition for this period of time.
