ABSTRACT A major drawback of directional and horizontal well drilling is the numerous complex computations required to be done while planning a well. These computations are very stressful and time consuming especially when done manually. One of the objectives of this study was to develop a user friendly Excel Spreadsheet program that would make...

ABSTRACT The concept of dumpflooding is to flow water from a high pressure aquifer zone to a low pressure oil producing zone by natural force of gravity through a well connecting the two zones to enhance oil sweep into a producing well. The research described is aimed to find solutions to one of the flaws in dumpflooding that is, the inability to... Continue Reading

The reservoir characteristics of the gas condensate well is special and the changes of the behavior of the well have a significant impact to the production rate. When we do a proper optimization that can lower the operating costs, maximizing HC recovery and the net present value of a project can be increased. The optimization of the well level can...

Abstract The Niger Delta is on the throes of death caused by the unmitigated exploration, exploitation and production of hydrocarbon which feeds and develops foreign economies at the detriment of the host communities which live in the worst state of neglect by... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The study was designed to find out the effects of Inventory Management on Corporate Profit using the Nigerian Gas company as the case study. To achieve this objective, three Null Hypotheses and Alternative Hypotheses were formed to guide the study. All the staff... Continue Reading

SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF DATURA STRAMONIUM LEAVES EXTRACT - Z2n+ ON THE CORROSION INHIBITION OF MILD WELLWATER ABSTRACT The synergistic effect of Datura stramonium leaves extract and Zn2+ in the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in aqueous medium (100ml well water) was investigated in this project. The corrosion inhibition studies were carried out... Continue Reading

According to Bittner (2015) he argued that in a bid to ensure good community relations, organizations expend shareholders money, cut down workers salaries, waste precious time which should be used for other profitable things. He calls it “a fundamentally subversive doctrine which offers insoluble practical problems”. While Nweke (2001:220) is... Continue Reading

This study investigated the concentration of heavy metals in oil field produced water from Niger Delta, before and after treatment with locally sourced agricultural wastes. Two produced water samples were investigated for different metal ions such as; Lead, Nickel, Cadmium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Chromium, Zinc, Manganese, Calcium, Arsenic,... Continue Reading

This is a review of The HP HT wells in Niger Delta.... Continue Reading

Natural gas is one of the major sources of fuel and raw material to industries all over the world. However, it contains some acid gases such as C O2 and H2 S which are corrosive and harmful to the environment. These acid gases must be brought to permissible limits to promote safety in the operation and increase the heating value of the natural... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The maximum recoverable oil in place from the reservoir is a major challenge when it comes to EOR which is an essential part of every oil production project. In some cases, the natural drive mechanism is a relatively inefficient process and results in a low overall oil recovery. The lack of sufficient natural drive in such reservoirs has...

ABSTRACT This research work was carried out to evaluate the laboratory analysis of pipeline products marketing company (PPMC) depot operations. In the course of the research many scholarly articles on the subject matter were reviewed from which the researcher got lot information concerning the topic at hand. Thus making the research work a... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This research work was carried out to evaluate the different methods of corrosion prevention, control and monitoring. In the course of the research many scholarly articles on the subject matter were reviewed from which the researcher got lot information concerning the topic at hand. Thus making the research work a reliable source of... Continue Reading

Carbon steel corrosion is a commonly encountered issue in pipelines transporting hydrocarbons containing corrosive agents such as CO2, H2S and water. As a result, several corrosion prediction models have been put forward over the years although no standard model exists for corrosion prediction in the industry. Two of such models are the Norsok...

ABSTRACT The Niger Delta is Nigeria’s and Africa’s most prol ific producing basin and has some untapped oil resources because of their marginality. The development of marginal oil field in Nigeria has now become an important strategic issue. This is due to the vast availability of these fields scattered all over the Niger Delta. The Federal...

ABSTRACT As the demand for petroleum resources increases, drilling of oil and gas wells are often carried out in challenging and hostile environments. Among the top ten drilling challenges facing the oil and gas industry today is the problem of lost circulation. Major progress has been made to understand this problem and how to combat it. However,... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The production of formation sand is a problem associated with most oil deposits in the world. Major Sand production effects affect safety, well or field economics and continuous production.
