Abstract

The 3-D geological and geothermal model was built using seismic data and geo-temperature
data respectively. The model was used to deduce environment of deposition and their facies.
The geological model serves as a pointer to locate highly permeable channels where
hydrocarbons are found. The well consist of Gamma ray log (GR log), Spontaneous
Potential logs (SP log), Resistivity logs, Formation density, Neutron log, Sonic log and all
the well logs penetrate Agbada and the Benin Formation. The wells within the interval
studied consist mainly of alternate sequence of sand and shales. The shale is rich in organic
matter in the study field. The geo-temperatures values of 101.60oC– 119.60oCat modeled
depth of 1357m- 3500m, indicating that the shale beds of Agbada Formation are within the
oil generating window and is thermally matured with sufficient organic matter to generate
hydrocarbon in the study field as earlier believed to be immature and cannot generate
hydrocarbon. The 3-D geological and geo thermal model are the basis of establishing
depositional facies and the hydrocarbon window of the Agbada Formation at depth 1357-
3500m which is a useful tool in exploration and exploitation geology
