Abstract
Abstract: Since the discovery of the hydrocarbon micro-tremors, there have been numerous efforts to understand the causes of these microseisms related to oil and gas. A spectral ratio (SR) time-dependent equation was derived based on geological principles. The equation showed tremendous success in analyzing multi-layered geological terrain and estimating the spectral ratio in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. This study seeks to develop a reliable model using standard seismic reflection data to analyze microseismic datasets from hydrocarbon reservoirs. Type A-SR acts over a longer duration and can be used to determine hydrocarbon reservoirs. Type B-SR acts in a short time with maximum impact. It can be used to determine gas condensate flow in the hydrocarbon reservoir. It is recommended that this technique be applied in real time to ascertain its accuracy. Keywords: Niger Delta, Microseismic, Amplitude, Special ratio, Geology.
