Abstract: In the Niger Delta’s “WONDER” field, seven wells were thoroughly examined. The petrophysical characteristics of the sequences were determined using sequence stratigraphy, and the lithostratigraphic settings were modeled. Utilizing Schlumberger Petrel Software and Microsoft Excel, well logs and reservoir sands (RES A, RES B, and RES C) were analyzed, and petrophysical parameters were calculated. Biostratigraphic plots of the varieties of foraminifera in the reference well (WON 12-ST1) showed three sequences. These were found by matching log trends with depositional settings. There were three maximum flooding surfaces and four sequence boundaries. All of the sequences were classified as type-1, and there were three system tracts: transgressive (TST), highstand (HST), and lowstand (LST). In the HST and LST, prograding and aggrading sands with diminishing shale volume uphill were combined with retrograding shale and sand units. In the LST, TST, and HST, hydrocarbon buildups were discovered based on resistivity log data and calculated hydrocarbon saturation values. Average petrophysical parameters showing different shale volumes, total porosity, hydrocarbon saturation, and permeability ranges were calculated for RES A, RES B, and RES C over the seven wells. Examples of these ranges were found in Reservoir A, where the permeability measured 6978–8391 mD, the hydrocarbon saturation ranged from 51–59%, and the amount of shale ranged from 9–14%. This research provides crucial insights into the sedimentary patterns and hydrocarbon potential of the “WONDER” field in the Niger Delta.
