Sedimentary units often show compaction variation across fault blocks resulting from
jarring vertical shortening; a common occurrence in growth fault system innate to the
Niger Delta. Rock displacement traceable on slip surface with varied dip was mapped
on 3D seismic data. Interpretation done on available well logs reveal existing zones of
sand formation that fairly correlates with compaction patterns seen on seismic lines
across fault blocks with reference to vertical deviations in horizons across fault planes.
These anomalies were stochastically analyzed for its topology effects using Density logs
from the field in an attempt to ascertain the influence of rock strata on fault
displacement and how this translates to compaction patterns. It was discovered that the
effect of differential compaction propelled by wobbly underlying rocks primarily drives
the local complexities imaged on the seismic data as varied turgid deformation zones
also prolific from computed seismic attributes
