Abstract

The airborne gravity data over Brass Area and environs, Niger Delta Area, Nigeria were processed and interpreted in order to delineate the sedimentary thickness within the basin and map out places with the potentials for hydrocarbon formation, accumulation and migration. The geological structures, depths andstructural trends within the area were investigated using Total Horizontal Gradient, Tilt Derivative, Analytical Signal Filters and Euler Deconvolution techniques. The results from Euler depths showed that the sedimentary thickness and structural depths within the area range from about 1.6 to over 17.4 km.The area predominantly has NE-SW structural trend with minor NW-SE trend.The sediment thickness and structural endowment of the area prompted the classification of Egeregere, Brass, Spiff Town, Kirikakiri Areas in the northern and the southern partsof the area as zones of very viable potentials for hydrocarbon generation, accumulation and migration.
