One of the factors needed to unravel hydrocarbon accumulations, volumetric computation and reservoir performance in a field is to have the proper view and understanding of the environment of depositions and the age of deposited sediments. Some fossils such as the foraminifera spe...
The high cost of deepwater developments and the limited reach from offshore platforms requires operators to have a good understanding of the sand development in delineating reservoirs using Direct Hydrocarbon Indicator. The key aim of this study was to undertake a seismic‐scale q...
The Deepwater environment of the Niger Delta Basin is one of the hydrocarbon exploration frontiers believed to be promising and highly prolific if properly harnessed. Some of the reservoir units are affected by multi-scale compartmentalization resulting from structural, stratigra...

The concept of sequence stratigraphy in explaining sediment accumulation and preservation trends within basin fills has become a highly successful exploration tool in the search for hydrocarbon resources. The sequence stratigraphy of OML XY block, Niger delta study approach invol...
This study was conducted to evaluate the quality of water of “16-Tishreen Dam” Lake located in Lattakia Governorate. During two different periods in 2022, water samples were collected from ten points distributed across the entire lake. Samples were subjected to physical and chemi...
This hydrogeophysical study was carried out in order to proffer solutions to inadequate water supply plaguing Obanla-Obakekere, in the campus of Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) Nigeria. The depth sounding method engaged the Schlumberger configuration. Three to five...
The work is aim at assessing possible impact of FUTA dumpsite on groundwater resources within the campus. Vertical electrical sounding was done across the study area in 94 locations. Three to five geoelectric layers were delineated in the study area. The layers correspond to the...
Accurately predicting pore pressure and optimizing reservoirs in the oil and gas industry is crucial for the exploration and production of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Traditional geophysical methods of pore pressure prediction and reservoir optimization require extensive manual effor...

A geotechnical assessment of soils in Capitol gully erosion site in University of Benin was carried out in order to evaluate the susceptibility of the soil to erosion. Soil samples were collected with a hand auger from nine(9) sampling points in the study area at a depth of 1m. T...
The geotectonic framework and the evolutionary history of the Southeast Anatolian Orogenic Belt are closely related to the assemblage of eastern and western Gondwana and the subsequent events from the opening of the southern branch of the Neo-Tethys to the final collision. The f...
Heavy metal (Zn, Cu, Cd, Fe, Mn, Pb, Ni and Cr) concentration in fifteen groundwater samples of the Zaatari area were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) for determination of the impact of Zaatari refugee camp on groundwater pollution...
An investigation was carried out at the Ilokun dumpsite in Ado-Ekiti with the intention of converting it into a sanitary landfill. The goal was to determine the potential impact of the liquid waste draining from the dumpsite on the underground water sources. The study utilized th...
Many soil subsidences are due to tunnel erosion, popularly called "soil pipe, which generally begins as a tiny flute hole in the ground but may cause significant environmental implications when left uncontrolled. Varieties of damages resulting from soil subsidence have been repor...
The Koçali ophiolite is a part of the Southeast Anatolian Orogenic Belt ophiolites. The Koçali ophiolite is represented by serpentinized mantle peridotites, gabbros, sheeted diabase dykes and basalts. They are later intruded by arc-granitoids. The serpentinized mantle peridotite...
