Geoelectric Evaluation of Groundwater Potential: a Case Study at Omuma Local Government Area, Rivers State, Nigeria
Rivers State as the nomenclature depicts is a state richly blessed with both surface and subsurface water. As a result of this, there is less problem of water scarcity, especially in the elite cities of the state, but so many other communities due to one reason or the other still wallow in abject water scarcity. In this survey, a total of seven (7) vertical electric soundings were carried out using Schlumberger configuration at Obibi community in Omuma local government area, Rivers State, to ...
Determination of Ground Water Potential Using Electrical Resistivity Method
A resistivity survey was carried out to study groundwater potential in Ignatius Ajuru University of Education in Rumuolumini Town, Rivers State of Nigeria with the aim of determining the depth, thickness, resistivity and lithology at which potable water can be obtained. Two Vertical Electrical Soundings were conducted using the Schlumberger configuration. The VES data were subjected to an iteration software (IPI2WIN) which showed that the area is composed of top soil, clay, mud and sand. Base...
Preliminary structural evaluation of an X-Field Onshore in Niger Delta using 3D seismic data
A structural evaluation of a post stack time migrated (PSTM) 3D seismic data over an X–Field in the eastern Niger Delta has been attempted. The objective of the study is to structurally evaluate the field with a view to identifying structural features such as faults, map geologic horizons and analyze reflection characteristics that might be a good lead to probable hydrocarbon accumulations. Results revealed that six growth faults (F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, and F6) and three seismic horizons (HI, ...
