Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLithofacies and Depositional Environment from Geophysical Logs of EMK Field, Deepwater Niger Delta, NigeriaEmeka A. Nwagwu, Godwin O. Emujakporue, Sylvester A. Ugwu, R. OghonyaThe lithofacies and environments of deposition of the EMK field, in parts of the deepwater zone of Niger Delta Basin, have been carried out. Geophysical well logs from two deep oil wells were used. Shale and sand were identified in the gamma ray logs. The shale lithology is more dominant than the sand and this was interpreted as the marine … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 4 Dec 2019 · 13,188 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison of Microbial and Heavy Metal Contents in Soils and Roots under Mangrove Forest Stands with Different Levels of Pollution in the Niger River Delta, NigeriaAroloye Ofo NumbereOil and gas exploration in the Niger Delta, has resulted to increased heavy metal contamination. It is thus postulated that increased heavy metal will lead to decreased microbial content in soil and root. To test this hypothesis ten replicates each of soil and root samples were collected from already established sites. Samples were sent to the laboratory for analyses of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2017 · 8,177 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLong-Term Changes in Mangrove Landscape of the Niger River Delta, NigeriaPing Wang, Aroloye O. Numbere, Gerardo R. CamiloThe Niger Delta mangrove is the third largest in the world and the largest in Africa. Since the 1960s oil and gas exploration has become an important economic activity, resulting in significant alteration of the landscape via pollution, urbanization and invasion. Landsat images of six different years (1984, 1986, 2000, 2003, 2005 and 2007) were used to determine land cover … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Jun 2016 · 8,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePORE-PRESSURE PREDICTION FROM SEIMIC DATA IN PARTS OF THE ONSHORE NIGER DELTA SEDIMENTARY BASINEmujakporue Omokenu GodwinPore pressure prediction in parts of the Onshore Niger Delta Sedimentary Basin using seismic reflection data has been carried out. The Bower’s technique of velocity-to-pore pressure transform was adopted. The seismic velocities were derived from the seismic data using layer cake velocity model and were later compared with the available sonic logs velocities obtained from the area. Parameters in the … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 20 Mar 2014 · 7,437 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Geosta Addition on Cement-stabilised Chicoco Mud of the Niger DeltaOlujide OmotoshoChicoco is a very soft and extremely compressible organic marine mud found extensively and to considerable depths within the saline tidal flat or mangrove swamp of the Niger delta in southern Nigeria. Natural chicoco is highly undesirable, barely able to support a human of average weight but air-dried chicoco has been used successfully by the indigeneous people for shore protection, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnvironmental Degradation in the Niger Delta Area Due to Petroleum Exploration: Are we Combating the Problems?Agnes Edet Asuquo Offiong, Onnogen Usang Nkanu, Etim Nkanu Efut, Uba James UbaNative settlements where oil and gas are produced in Africa are frequently challenged by environmental pollution. This challenge usually causes conflicts within the exploitation arena. Little effort is deceptively portrayed by the government and private organizations to ameliorate the impact of pollution on environmental media and human health risks due to exposure. A critical attribute of these worries has been … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 27 Dec 2018 · 8,332 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSequence Stratigraphic Analysis from Well Logs of an X-Field, Niger Delta, NigeriaGodwin Omokenu Emujakporue, Alphonsus Joseph EyoThe sequence stratigraphic analysis of the area was studied using well log information in order to determine the lithostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, possible reservoir sands, age and depositional environment of the study area for opportunities that will support exploration program. The depositional environment penetrated by the wells interpreted from log signatures gave three major facies association. The blocky and coarsening upward (funnel … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 11 Jul 2016 · 13,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of Weathering Layer Characteristics over OPL-135 in the Western Part of the Niger Delta Basin, South-South, NigeriaOkechukwu Frank Adizua, Adekunle Oyemade Sofolabo, Olomu Ivory Obi-EgbediAn up-hole seismic refraction survey was carried out in OPL-135 in the Western part of the Niger Delta Basin, (SS) Nigeria. A total of thirty seven (37) up-hole locations in a (4.0×3.750) km grid configuration were drilled and logged over the prospect. The focal objective for the study was to assess the weathering layer characteristics over the prospect, specifically, to … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2021 · 11,449 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Soil Types on Growth, Survival and Abundance of Mangrove (Rhizophora racemosa) and Nypa Palm (Nypa fruticans) Seedlings in the Niger Delta, NigeriaAroloye O. NumbereThe invasion of nypa palm into mangrove forest is a serious problem in the Niger Delta. It is thus hypothesized that soil will influence the growth, survival and abundance of mangrove and nypa palm seedlings. The objective was to compare the growth, survival and abundance of both species in mangroves, nypa palm and farm soils (control). The seeds were planted … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 25 Apr 2019 · 8,867 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCurie Point Depth (CPD) Investigation Of Offshore Niger Delta Using High Resolution Aeromagnetic DataOfoha Chimezie Charles, Emujakporue Godwin OmokenuOffshore Niger Delta, Nigeria, is known to be a hub for hydrocarbon exploration within the West Africa region and the world in general. The geologic settings within the Niger Delta province have a proven potential to assist in oil and gas exploration. However, much of the offshore provinces potential remains unknown with respect to the temperature differences using aeromagnetic data. … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2019 · 7,811 accessesView PDFCite
