Abstract Geophysical analysis was undertaken on the available suit of well logs, 3D seismic and checkshot data from the field in a view to carrying out reservoir characterization and volumetric estimation of Orok Field Niger Delta Province. Lithology delineation and Petrophysical evaluation including porosity, water saturation and net-to-gross were undertaken. Well to seismic tie, structural interpretation and horizon mapping were carried out. Time and depth maps were generated and volumetric estimation of the reservoirs were carried out. Four gas-bearing reservoir (A001, B001, C001 and D001) of variable thickness and depth from the subsurface were identified. Their effective porosity ranges from 19% for A001, 20% for B001, 20% for C002 and 18% for the basal D001 respectively. Water saturation estimated from the reservoir sands ranges from 23% for A001, B001 20%, C001 12% and 10% for D001. The hydrocarbon saturation of the reservoirs stood at 77%, 80%, 82%, 90% for A001, B001, C001 and D001 respectively. Only sand A001 and sand B001 had good seismic tie and were able to be mapped through the seismic. Three synthetic structural building listric faults were interpreted across the inlines intercepting the top of reservoir Sand A001 and B001. The volumetric estimation reveals that A001 and B001 have an area of 813.708 acres and 813.693 acres and volume of 151 billion cu.ft and 286 billion cu.ft of gas respectively. Three synthetic structural building listric faults (F1, F2 and F3) intercept the top of sandstones A001 and B001. The structural trapping mechanism in both sandstones resulted from synthetic fault assisting structures i.e rollover anticlines. The modeled faults trends approximately northwest to southeast direction and dip in the southwest direction.
