Sedimentology, paleontology and well log investigations were carried out on shale samples derived from the sedimentary basin and reservoir in Bida North Central along the Niger valley Nigeria. Various dynamic events such as multiphase fluids flow, Kerogen, maturation kinetic and sediment deposition, faulting can be applied for basin and reservoir modeling at diverse stages utilizing 2D method to reconstruct hydrocarbon development, migration, accumulation and production across a geologic bed. These investigations aimed at analyzing the petroleum development and production of Bida North Central along Niger valley, Nigeria. The result of strategraphic sequence indicates that initial basin. Fill is comprised of largely complex and stacked fanglomerate system formed from various saimple stream breaches onto the proximal structure of the basin. The fanglomerates, an alluvian fan directly overly the basin and reveals a fining upward sequence. It further indicated the Bida sandstone; it further indicated the Bida sandstone overlain directly by oolitic/pisolitic ironstone of Sakpe ironstone succeeded by a sequence of rocks known as Enagi formation, characterized mainly of fine to medium-grained-medium-grained-grey clay carbonaceous silts and prevalent concretionary ironstone bands. Well log results aided in the actualization of accurate reservoir quality and provenance of the rock samples tested and the identification of basin characteristics at the exploration stages.
