Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA screen for Benzo(a)pyrene in Fish Samples From Crude Oil Polluted EnvironmentsChimezie Anyakora, Mohsen Arbabi, Herbert CokerSeveral studies have shown that exposure to Benzo(a)pyrene increases the risk of cancer. In this study several fish samples from Niger the Delta region of Nigeria were screened for the presence of Benzo(a)pyrene. The study was carried out using Gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometry detector. Benzo(a)pyrenes in the samples were identified through both retention time match with authentic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,766 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurie 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatistical Analysis of Geothermal Data of an Oil Field, in Parts of Niger Delta, NigeriaEmujakporue Godwin Omokenu, Leonard I. NwosuGeothermal gradient and heat flow were computed from bottom hole temperatures in an oil field in Niger Delta, Nigeria. The statistical analysis of computed geothermal data was carried out. The computed geothermal gradient vary from 17.3±0.14 to 24.33±0.70°C/Km with an average of 22.24±0.57°C/km. The heat flow ranges from 38.06±0.31 to 56.39±2.41 mWm-2 with an average of 50.15±1.25 mWm-2. The computed … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 26 Sep 2016 · 7,963 accessesView PDF Cite

Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractWell Test and PTA for Reservoir Characterization of Key PropertiesOkotie Sylvester, Ikporo Bibobra, Ogbarode Napoleon OgbonThe characterization of a reservoir is a process which starts from the beginning of the field (oil or gas) discovery and continuous to the field’s abandonment. It quantitatively or qualitatively describes the characteristics of the reservoir using data available. In the determination of key well and reservoir parameters for reservoir characterization, it is very vital to understand the flow phases … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Oct 2015 · 8,021 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrocarbon Biodegrading Potentials of a Proteus vulgaris Strain Isolated from Fish SamplesPatience O. Olajide, L. B. OgbeifunA Proteus vulgaris bacterium SR-1 was isolated from a freshly killed fish sample collected close to the point of crude oil spill in the Niger Delta region, Nigeria. Problem statement: The application of native bacterial species in bioremediation processes has long been desired, because they would be cost effective and efficient in terms of acclimation time. The ability to isolate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 8,277 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPetrophysical Properties Distribution Modelling of an Onshore Field, Niger Delta, NigeriaGodwin Omokenu EmujakporueThis research is based on the modelling of petrophysical parameters distribution of an onshore oil field in Niger Delta. The methodology involves the construction of 3-D grids that represent the reservoir geometry, accompany by property modeling where the 3-D grids were populated with petrophysical properties (porosity, water saturation, net to gross ratio, facies and permeability). The objective is to construct … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2017 · 14,182 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordLong-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 PDF Cite
