Paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic reconstruction of the umu-5 well, niger delta basin, using lithofacies and palynological evidence

Key Points

• The main aim is to reconstruct the paleoenvironment and paleoclimate of the UMU-5 well in the Niger Delta Basin using various geological analyses.
• Conducted a palynological and lithofacies study of sediment samples from the UMU-5 well.
• Analyzed 25 ditch cutting samples using palynological preparation and microscopic techniques.
• Identified five distinct lithofacies within the well samples.
• Reconstructed the stratigraphic framework and paleoenvironment of deposition.
• Determined the paleoclimate characteristics based on lithofacies and palynological evidence.
• Assessed the hydrocarbon potential of the studied well through the identified lithofacies.
