Examination of the Seismic Characteristics of Onshore Reservoirs for Dom Gas Production Potentials in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria

The objective of this research work is to examine two prominent dom gas reservoirs h1000 and h4000 in onshore niger delta region of nigeria for potential production activities using seismic wavelet and well-toseismic tie process to facilitate interpretation and evaluate dom gas (hydrocarbon) bearing formation. well log and sidewall samples analyses show that the velocity attributes, high p-wave, s-wave and v_p/v_s ratio characterize sediments with high concentration of dom gas. the wells validated the presence of dom gas with total gas in place on the field estimated at 4.017 trillion ft^3, giip 5,228.683 bscf, ciip 445.136 mmstb, and stoiip 34.647 mmstb, urg 4,120.494 bscf and urc 219.208 mmstbl, 90 % of which resides in the two reservoirs. the hydrocarbon intervals are estimated at h1000 (8864 ft, tvdss) and h4000 (9577 ft, tvdss). the borehole information was combined with seismic data to confirm lateral continuity of the dom gas reservoirs.
