PROJECT BODY: ABSTRACT Ama-Ekpu Edda lies within the Afikpo-Basin, a sedimentary basin set up during the late cretaceous period following the santonian uplift in the southern Benue trough. From the the field study, the Local stratigraphy shows that the lithologic succession consists of black to dark grey shales and sandstone ridges. The sandstones ridge consist […]

PROJECT BODY: CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1.1 LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY The study area is located along Afikpo-Okigwe axis and bounded by latitudes 5° 51IN and 6°03IN and longitudes 007º51IE and 8° 06I E (Fig. 1), and with an area extent of about 74 sqkm (Fig. 1). The study area is bounded on the north by Afikpo,

PROJECT BODY: CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Subsurface maps are perhaps the most important vehicle used to explore for undiscovered hydrocarbons and to develop proven hydrocarbon reserves. However, the subject of subsurface mapping is probably the least discussed of interpretation and the construction of structure/Isopach maps, yet most important aspect of petroleum exploration and development. As a

PROJECT BODY: CHAPTER ONEINTRODUCTIONBACKGROUND OF THE STUDYMining in Nigeria has been in existence for over 2,400 years with first mining taking place in the form of craermining as experienced by the people in thecourse of seeking for natural resources within their community to satisfy their social and economic needs. This was the issue with the

PROJECT BODY: Abstract Hydrogeological work was carried out to providing an alternative source of portable water supply to Omoku and its environs as their major source of water which is surface water had been contaminated/polluted by oil and gas exploration, exploitation and other anthropogenic activities in the area. To obtaining reliable data and achieving the

PROJECT BODY: Abstract The study examined some physical and chemical characteristics of soils in an unmonitored mining community in southwestern Nigeria. This study aimed at determining if the active (recently mined), abandoned mines, adjacent farmland, and a relatively less-disturbed forest re-growth region in the community exhibit significantly different or similar characteristics. The main hypothesis is
