The study addressed the Geology and geological structures around Kwal-Kanke area around the Jos plateau. Three (3) rock types namely; Quaternary dolerite/basic rocks, aplo-pegmatitic granite gneiss and migmatite-gneiss were delineated. The quaternary dolerites and the aplo-pegmatitic granite … Continue Reading
The third trimester filled practical programme is an important programme designed by the university for development studies to equip students with practical skills and other standard of living. This first part of the field work is to help identify the problems of rural communities in the northern regions and in this instance TAPA ABOTOASE in the… Continue Reading
A detailed geologic mapping of clay deposits in the Patti Formation around the Ahoko area in Kogi State (north-central Nigeria) was carried out on a scale of 1:12,500. The study area lies within the Lokoja Sub-basin of the Bida Basin between longitudes 60 51l and … Continue Reading
Geochemical Analysis of a selected well sample around the Nigerian delta areas of Nigeria. … Continue Reading
ͦ Many areas are exposed to different types of natural hazards including landslides, which can lead to loss of lives, injury to people, damage to property and disruption of economic activities. This project assessed the landslide susceptibility and quantifies the hazard and risk related to landslides in Okemesi, southwest, Nigeria… Continue Reading
The geochemical classification of granitic rocks in the Gwada area of Niger State, North Central Nigeria was carried out. The methodology adopted for the research consists of fieldwork and geochemical analysis of rock samples using XRF at Nigerian Geological Survey Agency, Kaduna. Field evidence suggests that, the Gwada area mapped is… Continue Reading
Palynological analysis was carried out on twenty (20) ditch cutting samples from a section (1284.73– 1496.57 m) of the Amansiodo-1 well, Anambra Basin, southeastern Nigeria with the aim of determining the age, biozone, and depositional environment of the sediments within the depth interval. The laboratory techniques of digesting… Continue Reading
A total of 21 samples were analyzed in the laboratory, Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrum (ICP-AES) was employed in the whole rock analysis for oxides, total sulphide (TOS), total carbon (TOC) and loss on ignition (LOI), while Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) was employed in the analysis for trace metals… Continue Reading
The logs from three wells of Obama Field, offshore south-west of Niger Delta Basin were studied for the purpose of evaluating the petrophysical properties and interpreting the depositional environments. The analyses carried out involve delineation of lithologies, identification of reservoirs and fluid types, wells correlation and… Continue Reading
