Niger Delta generates higher revenues for Nigeria through its abundant oil and gas resources. The region over the years has been faced with environmental challenges resulting from oil and gas operations. This study is aimed ...

Despite its numerous benefits the search and production of crude oil poses a lot of dangers to the environment. Among these include land, water and air pollution. Prominent among the major sources of E&P waste is drilling ...

Shortwave Broadband Irradiance (SBI) makes up about 96% of the Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) received on earth, and it is known to be the major driver of climate change. The SBI also contains ultraviolet radiation, which ...

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the uncertainty in the volumes of fluids in place in Fault Block A (Segment 3) of the G-1 Sands in the OND field located offshore Niger Delta. The evaluation was performed in three ...

Determination of optimal well locations for infill drilling is a challenging task because engineering and geologic variables affecting reservoir performance are often nonlinearly correlated and have some degree of uncertainty ...

Data analytics has only recently picked the interest of the oil and gas industry as it has made data visualization much simpler, faster, and cost-effective. This is driven by the promising innovative techniques in developing ...

Worldwide awareness of thin-bedded reservoirs (including turbidites) has become increasingly important with about 30-40% of the world’s oil in-place resources confined within thin-bed laminated reservoirs (Tyagi et al. ...

One of the ways of maximizing recovery from a reservoir is by drilling infill wells. Infill well placement is challenging because many well scenarios must be evaluated when undertaking the optimization program and very ...

In this project, the optimum position of ESP is evaluated for horizontal wells. The inflow and outflow performance of the horizontal well has been estimated using Joshi’s steady-state approximation for horizontal flow and ...

The AK field is an oil field draining the Agbada Formation, one of the three units of the Niger Delta Province, which started forming about 50 million years ago. Reservoirs from the AK field are sandstones and are located ...

This study aimed at characterizing and evaluating the viability of barite deposits within Ribi for industrial applications. There is an inadequacy of information as regards mineralization, chemical and geotechnical properties ...

This project concerns Evolution Equations in Banach spaces and lies at the interface between Functional Analysis, Dynamical Systems, Modeling Theory and Natural Sciences. Evolution Equations include Partial Differential ...

In this study, Flexy energy analysis taking exergy analysis and heat recovery into account on performance has been performed. The effects of wasting heat on exhaust gas temperature and cooling engine, is analysed in terms ...

Let X be a real Banach space, X ∗ its conjugate dual space. Let A be a monotone angle-bounded continuous linear mapping of X into X ∗ with constant of angle-boundedness c ≥ 0. Let N be a hemicontinuous (possibly non-linear) ...

Most poor and vulnerable people such as the peri-urban, people living in poverty and some internally displaced people (IDPs) are prone to water borne diseases because they drink polluted water. In order to improve water ...

Formation of water-in-oil emulsions are among the major challenges encountered by production and surface facilities engineers during the recovery of crude oil, especially in a large multi-wells system in both onshore and ...

This thesis is focused on fabrication of biodegradable implantable devices for extended localized drug release. Paclitaxel (PT) was used as cancer drug in the study. Poly lactic –co- glycolic acid (PLGA) is a polymer used ...
