IX. Research

(a) Completed:

i) Application of infrared spectroscopy to hydrocarbon source assessment of the Campano-Maastrichtian Nkporo Shale, Anambra basin:

This research work deals with the application of newly developed infrared spectral photometric analysis as additional alternative tool in assessing the hydrocarbon source potential of the Campano-Maastrichtian Nkporo Shale in Anambra Basin. Published results revealed that IR-spectroscopy could be used as alternative tool to the very expensive and time consuming Rock-Eval Technique.

ii) Aromatic hydrocarbon distribution and volumetric calculation of crude oil and gas in Post-Santonian shales and coals of the Anambra Basin:

Aromatic HC distribution their relative abundances are used to quantify the volumetric of crude oils and gas adsorbed in the Post-Santonian Shales of the Anambra Basin.

iii) Organofacies studies of the Enugu shales and the reconstruction of its depositional paleoenvironment:

In this study organic facies characterization was employed to compliment other tools in reconstructing the depositional paleoenvironment that prevailed during the deposition of Enugu Shale.

iv) Reservoir heterogeneities and abnormal performance of Agbada sands in Upper eastern delta:

Several issues not fully understood concerning the abnormal yield performance of the Agbada Sand interbeds were traced to the reservoir heterogeneities of the siliciclastic sediments of the Agbada Formation.

(b) In Progress:

i. Sedimentation history and paleo-tectonic studies of the Cretaceous Anambra rift system: Fault controlled sandstone diagenesis of the Ajalli and Owelli sandstone Facies Tectono-thermal fluid flow and clay mineral authigenesis related to reservoir quality control. Also this research deals with the role of organic matter on the clastic diagenetic processes. Some of the results have been presented at various international conferences while still awaiting further control analysis. (1995 Senate Research Grant: SRG/fsc/1995/24A).

ii. Calibration of Infrared spectroscopic data on Agbada Shales and its application as a routine tool for maturity measurements while drilling Integration reservoir characterization (geology, petrophysics and reservoir simulation): This research involves the calibration of maturity data derived from Infrared spectral measurement with data from other known technologies such that it could be applied as a routine tool for maturity measurements while drilling. Some of the data has been published in journal. However, final control results are still expected from geochemical laboratory in Canada.

iii. Integrated Reservoir Characterization (Geology, Petrophysics and reservoir simulation): This involves the use of various sedimentological and basin analytical methods in characterizing reservoir quality of sandstone facies in the Niger Delta. So far field work has been concluded and laboratory results on sedimentological analysis are available for interpretation.

iv. Biomarker Studies for Oil – Oil and Oil – Source Rock correlation. Oil Fingerprinting for production allocation for commingled oil: This involves the ability to allocate oil production along horizontal wells or in commingled production of heavy crudes from different stratigraphic levels. Laboratory results including GC-MS on crude oil and rock extracts are now under interpretation and review.

v. Coal Petrographic and Organic Geochemical Characterization of coal seams stratigraphically located in the Mamu Formation in the Anambra Basin: Work is still ongoing to characterize the selected coal deposits from various localities using coal petrographic analysis and to determine the chemical and calorific properties of the coals. Maceral analysis and vitrinite reflectance measurements have been carried out on the coal samples. World class data generated are still being analyzed and interpreted of which the results will be published.

vi. Geomorphological and Paleopedological Development on Cretaceous Parent Source Rock around Nsukka Southeastern Nigeria: This is aimed at studying the extent of paleo-pedogenetic processes with respect to clay formation and changes in soil chemistry over time. Also it will attempt the reconstruction of landscape history from a pedogenetic view. All laboratory results on the chemical contents of the soil including grain size analysis are available for interpretation for write up and presentation in any international conference
