Sequence stratigraphic analysis carried out in Yowi Field by integrating both well logs and biostratigraphic data revealed six depositional sequences within the Agbada Formation of about 7000 ft thick. Three systems tracts identified include highstand systems tract, transgressive systems tract and lowstand systems tracts. The highstand systems tract is majorly stacked regressive 4 th -order shoreface sands that occurred in five parasequence sets, whereas the transgressive systems tract is a
