ABSTRACT This work assessed the combine effect of wood ash and lime on the geotechnical properties of expansive soils. The wood ash used was a waste product from bakery industry while the lime was of industrial grade. The soil was ...

ABSTRACT Facies geometry, stratigraphic configuration, structural style, hydrocarbon  type and distribution within the paralic Agbada Formation of Middle to Late Miocene age across several fields in the Eastern part of the Coastal Swamp depo-belt were studied using regional 3D seismic, ...

ABSTRACT This project addresses the effects of increase in fines contents on the geotechnical properties of sandy soils and the roles the fines play in slope instability in Nsukka,  Enugu  state in Nigeria. Field investigation revealed that the major landslides ...

ABSTRACT A  shallow geophysical investigation for  road surface  failure  using  2D  electrical  resistivity imaging profiling was conducted to produce an approximate model of the subsurface resistivity. This study was done with the aim of revealing the horizontal and vertical geological ...

ABSTRACT An integrated geological, geoelectrical and hydrogeochemical investigations were carried out in Eha-amufu to determine the extent and the distribution of saline zone. Hydrochemical characteristic of the groundwater in Eha-amufu was investigated.  Eha-amufu area is underlain by Nkporo Formation and ...

ABSTRACTThe Niger Delta is located on a typical passive margin with sediment thicknessesin excess of 12 km at the basin center. The combined occurrence of rift structures, basin subsidence, rapid progradation of deltaic systems, development of growth faults and fold ...

ABSTRACT An integrated investigation involving electrical resistivity method, Induced polarization method, and triaxial tests were used to investigate an abandoned senate auditorium in university of Nigeria, Nsukka, southeastern Nigeria. This was with a view to determining or imaging the subsurface ...

ABSTRACT In the Buntsandstein gas fields of the Southern North Sea, the Volpriehausen reservoir is the main producing unit. This reservoir suffers often from the in-filling of the reservoir pore spaces by solid materials (salt plugs). Determining the reservoir quality ...

ABSTRACT Petrophysical  evaluation  and  3D  seismic  interpretation  were  carried  out  on  the hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs of Stroh field with the aim of maximizing the benefits of  petrophysical   evaluation  and  structural  interpretation  in  the   production  and development of hydrocarbon in the ...

ABSTRACT The proliferation  of abandoned  surface  excavations  in the Benue  Rift  not only contributes  to land degradation  and landscape disruption but also results in loss of economic deposits,  dearth of mining data and generation of unprotected  spoils with known potential ...

Abstract This study is a contribution to the understanding  of the depositional environment and reservoir architecture of the "JI  Field", Niger Delta Nigeria.  The main objective  was to integrate sequence stratigraphy and petrophysical  evaluation  in characterizing  the reservoirs  encountered in ...

ABSTRACT A questionnaire and observational study were randomly conducted on 204 houses to acquire information  on  different  sewage  disposal  methods  used  in  Enugu  metropolis,  and  to investigate  the impact  of the sewage  disposal  methods  on  available  water  supplies.  The results ...

ABSTRACT Reservoir characterization has taken prominence in hydrocarbon exploration due to its role in proper  understanding  of  the  reservoir  properties  such  as  lithofacies,  and  petrophysical parameters, to enhance success in the quantification of the hydrocarbon reserve in place thereby diminishing ...

ABSTRACT Cenozoic sediments outcrop in the Niger Delta Basin.  Deposits in the Basin thicken southward (down-dip) but thin northward (up-dip) around Bende    Umuahia area where approximately 260 m thick exposure was logged from base to top.  Sieve analysis and petrography ...

ABSTRACT Reservoir quality assessment and characterization of sandstone units was carried out across the Afikpo area of the Southern Benue Trough. The study involved field investigations and laboratory studies/analyses. Field samples were subjected to Grain Size Analysis (GSA), Sand Equivalent ...

ABSTRACT This research work presents findings of the extent and distributions of saline zone and the hydrochemical characteristics of the groundwater of Awe, Keana and Giza areas in the Middle Benue Trough of Nigeria.Staticwater levels(swl) of hand dug wells were ...

ABSTRACT Detailed field based structural, fracture and paleostress analysis were carried out on Cenomanian to Maastrichtian units forming the Afikpo syncline structure. Three fracture systems were isolated from analysis of fracture orientations and thier field relationships: Pre-folding (JT), Syn-Folding (JS) ...

ABSTRACT   An investigation was carried out on the groundwater potentials and aquifer protective capacity of Ishiagu area, southeastern Nigeria. The study area lies within the lower Benue trough of Nigeria and is underlain by the Albian Asu River Group ...

ABSTRACT The study area is located in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State Nigeria. It lies between latitudes 6° 49' N, and 6° 50' N, and longitudes 7° 15' E, and 7° 21' E respectively. The area is underlain ...

ABSTRACT Anambra Basin is one of the basins in Nigeria,  harbouring the largest deposit of sub-bituminous coal. Sub-bituminous coal exposures have been encountered in the Eha-Alumona/Orba  environs. This study therefore aims at delineating the coal seam and estimating the coal ...
