Abstract
Hydrocarbon potential of the Borno Basin through Electrofacies and depositional environment analysis was carried out from well log and seismic reflection data to reassess the potential of the Basin thereby justifying the huge financial commitment of the Government. The reflection configuration pattern from the seismic reflection lines is characterized by variation from parallel, continuous and strong amplitude to sub parallel, chaotic discontinuous and low amplitude which indicate a variation from a low energy basinal setting of uniform rate of continental deposition to high energy environment of monolithologic deposits. Furthermore, the derivable log signatures shows a variation from serrated mud/sand to serrated blocky to serrated funnel and bell shapes with depth. This imply a stable massive mud/sand rich basinwide environment to an upward regressive sequence of bar deposit followed by a deltaic estuarine clastic sediment to gradual upward transgressive decrease in grain size to a fluvial point bar deposit. These environments identified from the research are known to be hydrocarbon province.
