    The application of seismic sequence stratigraphy in petroleum prospect generation and field appraisal in afam channel, Niger Delta.
    (Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Obafemi Awolowo University, 2010) Freeborn Etegbalor OKPIKORO
    Discovery of Afam oil fields, Niger delta was based on 2D seismic data which delineated mainly structural traps. Recent studies indicate that there are additional reservoirs that are stratigraphically controlled in channel settings. This research is aimed at revaluating oil fields within the Afam Channel area through mapping and validating hydrocarbon reserviour facies, locate bypassed ones, identify new prospect areas and subdivides the Afam Channel sequence into lithostratigraphic hierarchies.
