The profiles of gas in reservoirs of the Nene Oil Field in the Lower Congo Basin was modelled and evaluated for the objective of delineating the reservoir structure. The wells are NNM Well 6, NNM Well 301 and NNM Well 302. The C1 profiles show significant difference between wells 6 and 301 relative to well 302. The C1 profile for Well 302 unravels gas migrations from different compartments at the reservoir depth and mixes at a depth of 1.5KM. The observation also indicates the presence of a fracture that allow homogenization of the gases at that depth. The iC4/nC4 ratio for NNM Well 302 showed a profile for which the ratio is greater than 1.0 throughout the well section downdip. The observation portrays biodegradation throughout the well section generation from an immature source. The study shows that the NNM Well 6 reservoir is laterally compartmentalized from others, while all the well shoe some potential for vertical continuity of the wells.
