| Title | : | Clay Mineralogy and Provenance of Disang Shales in NE Tethys Basin, India |
| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | D. Majumdar || B.K. Chetia |
Abstract: The Disang Group is a strategic unit of north-east Indian stratigraphy, presumably considered to contribute mega part of hydrocarbon resources to the 'Upper Assam Petroliferous Basin of NE India. The Group is dominated by kerogen rich hard, splintery black coloured shales, deposited in shallow marine environment of shrinking Tethys Basin. The present study areas of Tirap and Changlang districts of Arunachal Pradesh (NE India) is close to the basin margin at its eastern end, where the Group occurs as thick shale sequence of about 3000 mts. with intermittent flaggy sandstones.............

| Title | : | Application of free structural model to Hydrocarbon Production Optimization in X Field, Niger Delta. |
| Country | : | |
| Authors | : | Nwankwo, C.N || Anyanwu, J |
Abstract: This study attempts to optimize hydrocarbon production of an oil Field in Niger Delta through an uncertainty free hydrocarbon reservoir modelling. Four well logs and seismic data of 5500 to 5900 inline and 1480 to 1720 Xline range were used to build a structural model and reduce uncertainties from the delineated reservoirs. All the four wells have reservoirs of interest as delineated from well logs based on sand formation resistivity values and porosity information............

| Title | : | Subsoil Bearing Capacity from Load Test Results In Two Locations in Rivers State, Nigeria |
| Country | : | Nigeria. |
| Authors | : | Akande, O. || Akpokodje, E. G. || Ekeocha, N. E |
Abstract: Vertical pile load tests using the maintained load test and twice the safe working load (SWL) were used in two different locations (A & B) in Rivers State. Four pre-cast concrete piles of dimension 400mm by 400mm were tested using Kentledge method in location A while three cased piles of 406mm diameter were tested in location B using reaction method. The range of pile head movement (settlement) at maximum load of 1000KN (200% of SWL) was 2.76mm - 5.73mm while the range of 10% of the pile width was 11.04mm - 22.92mm. The elastic rebound varies from 80.49% - 97.65%. In location B, where reaction method was employed, the cumulative settlement at maximum load of 544.4KN was between 1.088mm and 5.70mm while the range of 10% of the pile width was 8............

Abstract: This work is the results of a geophysical study by geoelectric method, 62 electrical soundings of an injection line length of AB=1000m with continuous electrical current, its goal is to identify the main areas fractured by which is performs the preferential flow in depth and subsurface from plateau to plain of Saiss and to have an idea about the geometric of the existing aquifer. After the interpretation of all data of vertical electrical drillings, we exploited to make a quantitative and qualitative interpretation of the results. Indeed we have established apparent resistivity maps, isohypse of the resistant roof, isopaque card of Liassic limestones also geoelectric cuts in correlation with data from existing drilling on the study area...........

| Title | : | The Non-Linear Programming Model (NLPM) for Minimizing the Operating Costs of Marine CNG Transportation |
| Country | : | Poland |
| Authors | : | Dr. Diplo. Muhammad Akram Khan || Prof. Dr. Andrzej Osiadacz |
Abstract: The marine compressed natural gas (CNG) was initially envisioned to target small volumes of gas located in relatively closed proximity to markets. However, the recent breakthroughs in this technology have suggested, and in some cases validated, marine CNG's potential to cost effectively ship much larger volumes of gas over much greater distances. The creative solutions have been proposed by many companies for the choice of materials and configuration of gas containers, as well as for container loading and offloading techniques because this part of a marine CNG project consumes almost 70-80% of the investment...........

Abstract: The Campano – Maastrichtian Gombe Sandstone of the Gongola Basin of the Upper Benue Trough is composed of arenaceous lithology that is laterally extensive and has reached a thickness of over 300m. The petrophysical evaluation of the formation on the basis of bivariate plots, petrographic analysis and falling head permeability indicated average porosity values of 15%, 33% and 23% respectively. Average permeability values of 5.2D and 100md were also obtained from bivariate plots and falling permeameter analysis respectively. These values are comparable to the reservoir rocks of proven petroleum basin of the North Sea and Niger Delta. Therefore, the Gombe Sandstone can serve as a potential reservoir rock in the Gongola Basin.............
