The complexity of a subsurface structural configuration has a significant role in hydrocarbon migration and trapping mechanisms. This study was designed to
ascertain the structural profile of part of the Agbami field as a core index of hydrocarbon play using well log and seismic volume data. From the well-seismic correlation, formation Sand A, with good producibility, recoverability indices which corresponded to a seismic continuity was mapped alongside its associated
faults. The observed surface showed subsurface features including the structural geometry of the study area. Discontinuities trend W-E direction, with the majority dipping eastward. Two major faults were identified and corresponded to the growth fault of the study area, which forms a two-way closure as a
hydrocarbon prospect in the study area. This study has created a workflow for pre-reservoir simulation studies for the Agbami field
