ABSTRACT The technique used worldwide while drilling is known as overbalanced drilling. Which is defined as the drilling process where the hydrostatic pressure used exceeds the formation pressure. This is done with the main purpose of “killing” the well. However, there are numerous problems that accompany overbalanced drilling. Such problems are differential pipe sticking, loss of circulation, formation damage and other problems. A relatively new technique was introduced, known as ...

Abstract The purpose of the study was to ascertain the effect of crude oil pollution on dissolved oxygen and PH in Aquatic ecosystem in the oil producing Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The study was carried out in Abacheke community in Egbema Local Government area, Imo state.Water Samples were collected for quality analysis from  three locations A, B, C. Locations A and B are areas with history of spillage while ...

ABSTRACT In the past, the major players in the oil and gas industry in Nigeria were the international oil companies (IOCs). There was inadequate skilled workforce in the industry especially with respect to indigenous participation in the oil and gas projects. Consequently, the IOCs relied heavily on expatriates to carry out projects in the oil and gas industry in Nigeria which ordinarily would have been handled by Nigerians. In order ...

CHAPTER ONE   INTRODUCTION   BACKGROUND OF STUDY Petroleum hydrocarbons are used generally in our environment as fuel and chemicalcompounds. The uncontrolled release of petroleum hydrocarbons negatively impacts many of our soi1 and water resources. The contamination can result from leaking Underground Storage Tanks (UST), petroleum refineries and bulk storage facilities, broken oil pipelines, spills of petroleum products in chemical plants and transportation processes as well as commercial and industrial ...

Abstract  The Niger Delta region is the oil producing area of Nigeria, which consists of highly diverse ecosystems that are supportive of numerous species of terrestrial and aquatic fauna and flora. Crude oil spills endanger fish hatcheries in coastal water and also contaminate valuable fish. This study examines the effects of oil spills on fish production in the Niger Delta of Nigeria. The findings suggest that oil production and spills ...

ABSTRACT Petroleum Fiscal System (PFS) is a major determinant of investment decision in the exploration and production of oil and gas in any country. It basically describes the profitability relationship between the host government of the producing community and the International Oil Companies (IOCs). The comparative analysis of the performance of the fiscal regimes becomes imperative as it affects the interest of the investor and the production of oil and ...

ABSTRACT Proper management of thin oil rim reservoirs is required to maximize recovery and minimizes coning tendencies. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of reservoir and fluid properties on coning tendencies in thin oil rim reservoirs and to develop numerical correlations to predict oil recovery and water break through time for these reservoirs. Numerical correlations for the prediction of recovery and water breakthrough time using response ...

ABSTRACT During drilling operations, special attention must be given to wellbore hydraulics to ensure functional, safe, economic, and environmentally responsible delivery of the well. The Hydraulics system shares common purposes with the drilling fluid, it helps to control subsurface pressures, remove cuttings from the well, clean the bit, size the pump, increase the rate of penetration, and minimize surge and swab pressures. Hydraulics optimization is an attempt to maximize the ...

ABSTRACT Maximum production from an oil well can be achieved through proper selection of tubing size. The selection of optimum tubing size must be evaluated when completing a well in any type of reservoir especially solution gas drive reservoir since there is likelihood of producing more gas as the reservoir pressure declines. The most widely used methods such as Tarner, Muskat and Tracy methods for predicting the performance of a ...

Abstract xi The main purpose of this study was to determine the management competencies required by multinational oil and gas service station managers in Onitsha and Asaba metropolis for effective service delivery. Specifically the study  sought to determine the:  planning competencies required by oil and gas station manager; organizing competencies required by oil and gas station managers; directing competencies required by oil and gas station managers; controlling competencies required by ...

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background of the Study      The method and technological know-how adopted in the maximum exploitation of environment as a society has various beneficial and deleterious implications on the environment. The determining factor of positive or negative implications is dependent on the pattern of exploitation of the natural resources in the society. Societies are known to have distinguished themselves by the way and degree in which they have succeeded ...

Abstract  Two different set of soil samples were collected near Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company Limited (KRPC), a Subsidiary of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Kaduna. The first set of samples labelled (D) was obtained from areas where diesel from the refinery spilled into the environment and the second set of samples labelled (P) was collected from areas where petrol leaked and spilled into the environment.  The pH of the ...

ABSTRACT   Human efforts towards attaining goals depends highly on effective communication, and the major ingredient that makes communication possible is information. Information is an important resource for individual growth and survival. The progress of modern societies as well as individuals depends a great deal upon the provision of the right kind of information, in the right form and at the right time. Information is needed to be able to ...

PERFORMANCE OF A BIOGAS RUN PETROL  ENGINE FOR SMALL SCALE POWER GENERATOR The use of biogas as an alternative fuel in a 1.5 kW portable electric generator run by a SI (spark ignition) engine was studied, keeping engine modifications to a minimum. The biogas was produced synthetically using a mixture of line supply of natural gas and a regulated flow of carbon-di-oxide from a cylinder. The engine performance was studied using proportional ...

BIOGAS GENERATION FROM ANIMAL WASTES IN NIGERIA The study investigated biogas potentials of six different plants, Cow rumen liquor, Cowpea, and poultry waste. The Slurry used was prepared by mixing 60 g of plants sample with 20 g of chicken dropping in the ratio of 3:1 W/W (weight for weight). These were moistened with varying volumes of pre – warmed water at 37 o C. The results show nonlinear production ...
