Abstract: The veins of quartz, pegmatite and greisens associated with the Mesoproterozoic Kibarian belt show two preferential directions, NE-SW and NW-SE. The most noticeable are those oriented NE-SW. They are contemporaneous with the second phase of deformation (D2) and belong to the category of fourth generation granites (G4). EW orientation veins at WNW-ESE are less observed and associated with the first deformation phase (D1) that affected Kibarian age groups. In its central part, most of the veins observed are oriented NE-SW, with a metamorphic enclosure which includes the micaschists, gneiss, phyllades and quartzites, intersected by the magmatic bodies generally of acid nature. The granite complex ofManono is in the form of a boulderintersected by veins of quartz andpegmatites of centimetric, decametric and rarely metric sizes. They show apreferential NE-SW direction anddevelop Greisenian bodies on theirshoulders.............

Abstract: Dans la partie occidentale de la grande unité structurale du Moyen Atlas tabulaire, le Causse d'Agouraï, constitué essentiellement par des terrains calcaires dolomitiques d'âge liasique, est caractérisé par une forte fracturation et une karstification intense. Il présente à son passage à la plaine de Saïss une série de sources d'eau avec des débits assez importants (Aïn Maarouf, Aïn Boujaoui,….). Ces sources constituent depuis longtemps la principale source d'alimentation du bassin de Saïss en eaux souterraines. L'étude géophysique vise à comprendre le processus du transfert d'eau et une meilleure cartographie des axes d'écoulement des eaux souterraines entre le Causse et la plaine de Saïss via la réalisation de profils de tomographie électrique de direction E-W perpendiculaires au sens d'écoulement majeur. Un premier profil à l'amont d'Aïn Maarouf, un 2ème à l'amont d'Aïn Boujaoui et le 3ème profil entre les deux. Les profils de tomographie ont été réalisés avec le dispositif.............

Abstract: Bitumen is a mixture of organic liquids that are highly viscous, black, sticky and entirely soluble in carbon disulphides which are properties that could be captured using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System. Bitumen outcrops in several places along bitumen belt of Dahomey basin, south Western Nigeria. The outcrop verification of the bitumen was carried out in Ilubirin, Agbabu and Ode-Irele in South-western Nigeria to determine their spectral characteristics with a view to using them to draw inferences in other areas where bitumen outcrops within the belt. The ground verification points were processed using remotesensing and Geographic Information System (GIS).The results obtained from the analysis shows that bitumen outcrops in Ilubinrin, Agbabu and.............

Abstract: Field approach and Outcrop descriptions were used in the geological mapping of basement rocks in Federal University Gusau, Zamfara State, Nigeria. The study aims at describing the geological attributes and features of the basement rocks with particular emphasis on structural features in the study area. The geological mapping enhances the visibility and clarity of the existing geologic units in order to produce the geologic map of the study area. The outcrop descriptions were examined at in-situ throughout the geological mapping period. The result of the outcrop descriptions shows three (3) types of exposure: low-lying ridge, river channel, and whale-back exposures. The outcrops descriptions also reveal some features such as fault breccias, scattered boulders, fault and foliation with intrusion...........

Abstract: The Middle and Upper Eocene rocksare carefully studied and sampled from three different sections; WadiDegla, Gebel Abu-Shama and Gebel Qattamia sections across Cairo-Sukhna Road, North Eastern Desert. They are subdivided into three main formations arranged from oldest to youngest; Observatory, Qurn and Maadi formations. In terms of benthic foraminifera zonation, the study area is yielded 1 benthic foraminiferal zone; Quinqueloculinaseminulum Zone. This zone includes three subzones arranged from oldest to youngest as following, Quinqueloculinacarinata Subzone (Late Lutetian), UvigerinarippensisSubzone (Lutetian – Bartonian) and Textulariaadalta Subzone (Bartonian – Priabonian).

Abstract: The Golden Beach, Emperor and Halibut Subgroups and Strzelecki Group are the major hydrocarbon source rocks in the Gippsland Basin. The principal objective of this work was to study the source rocks characteristics and to employ bulk geochemical parameters along with biomarker characteristics to identify and distinguish crude oils samples from three oil fields (Bignose, Gudgeon, and Halibut Fields) in the basin and correlate them with their potential source rocks in order to establish the genetic relationship between them. The study also focused on gas correlation to understand the occurrence of oil in the middle part of the basin and gas towards the basin margins. To investigate the possible oil-source rock correlation, the source rock characteristics and geochemistry..........

Abstract: An integrated approach using, seismic and geological information was employed for the mapping and evaluation of the S30, T40, U50 and V60 reservoirs of the Enena field for estimation of the reservoir properties, fluid distribution, and 3D modeling. This research focuses on the integration of petrophysical and structural data to develop an algorithm through Guassian random function simulation for static modeling. The resultant static model was then used for volumetric distribution of the field. The resultant 3D static model shows that S30, T40 and V60 reservoir have a STOOIP of 51.3, 15.1 and 17.1MBO respectively with recoverable reserves of 18, 5.3 and 6 MBO assuming a primary recovery factor of 0.35 and 33.5, 9.8 and 11.1 MBO using a 2P recoverable reserve of 0.65. The GIIP was estimated to be 28, 8 and 9 BCF of gas and the recoverable reserves shows a P1 of.........
