dc.descriptionSome of the data used in this study have been published by Adewole and Healy (2013), among others. The authors especially acknowledge Professor David Macdonald for his invaluable contributions and co-supervising the research project. Our thanks are due to the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) and anonymous oil companies in Nigeria for giving permission to access some of the data for this study. E. O. A. also thanks Judith Christie, Clare Bond and other members of the Department of Geology and Petroleum Geology, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen. We greatly appreciate the editor, and two anonymous reviewers for their critical assessments and vital comments, which tremendously improved the overall quality of the manuscript. Continuous supports on TrapTester software provided by Badleys, UK on the estimation of SI are much appreciated. The authors gratefully acknowledge the management of PCS Earth Techs Ltd. (Port Harcourt), Halliburton (Seisworks, ZMap and Stratworks), Kingdom, Rocdoc (Ikon science), EZ-ROSE, and CGG Veritas (Elog, Strata and AVO) for provisions of software and assistances.en
