A field study was conducted in Benin-Sapele locale of Niger Delta to understand the role of
influencive factors identified to be associated with delay causation in seismic reconnaissance. The principal
component analysis (PCA) of Factor Analysis was used to analyse a total of 262 daily observations of time(in
hours)encountered in seismic surveys undertaken in the locale thereof. The PCA employed was effective in
achieving parsimony by reducing the factor dimension from fourteen variables to mere five platoons which were
creatively labelled: data sampling activities, logistics, permission matters, instrument integrity, and random
events. Our results suggest that human factors, terrain and logistics are the most offensive influences and that
the perceived current restiveness in the region is a backlash of unfettered exploration and roduction activities.............
