    Abstract: Non-uniform production and injection profiles in extended reach horizontal wells invite several production and recovery issues. Downhole flow control devices, along with dynamic reservoir modeling, have been beneficial in regulating flow, improving productivity from the toe section, delaying water breakthrough, reducing water coning, and improving ...

    Abstract: It is generally believed that fossil fuel aside its environmental implications in terms of its high carbon emissions and pollution characteristics is rapidly depleting. New energy source that is not only abundant in supply but more fungible in today’s value chain and with potential as future green fuel is required to fill the gap. Research has show... Show More

    Abstract: The Bida Basin is one of Nigeria’s inland frontier basins. The conventional stratigraphy of the Bida Basin has the Bida Formation at the base in the northern sector, followed successively upward by the Sakpe, Enagi, and Batati Formations. In the southern sector, the Lokoja Formation is at the base, followed by the Patti Formation and ending with th... Show More

    Abstract: The stratigraphy of the Sokoto Basin has the Illo/Gundumi Formation at the bottom, followed successively upward by the Taloka, Dukamaje, Wurno, Dange, Kalambaina, Gamba and GwanduFormations. Re-mapping of the basin carried out in this studyshows that the geological framework remainslargely as previously outlined except that some hitherto unreported... Show More
