Abstract
This study presents the results of granulometry analyses and environmental interpretation of ditch cutting samples from Field X in the Greater Ughelli area of the Niger Delta. A total of 95 ditch cutting samples were collected from various depths and analyzed for grain size distribution, sorting, skewness, and kurtosis. The results show a dominance of medium-grained sands with moderate sorting, indicating a fluvial-deltaic depositional environment. The environmental interpretation suggests that the sediments were deposited in a shallow marine setting with periodic fluvial influences. The study provides valuable insights into the sedimentary history and paleoenvironment of the Niger Delta, with implications for petroleum exploration and reservoir characterization. The findings of this study can be used to inform geological models and improve the accuracy of reservoir predictions in the region.
