Deltas Niger

Growth faulted deltaic areas are highly prospective since they comprise of thick sections of good quality reservoir sands. Deltas usually overlay organic rich marine clays which can source the structures on maturation. Examples are the Niger, Baram or Mississippi Deltas. Clays, deposited within deltaic sequences may restrict the water expulsion during the rapid sedimentation / compaction. This can lead to the generation of overpressures. [Pg.82]

Forced displacements prior to 1960, which continue to this date, were eventually caused by harsh climate conditions combined with socio-economic, demographic, and political factors (Morrissey 2014). Major events in this regard have included the famines of 1900-3 and 1913 in the Niger delta and the dramatic droughts of the 1970s, which provoked the displacement, and sometimes forced sedentaiization of thousands of Moorish, Tuareg, and Fulani nomads leading to a dramatic increase in pressure on land in the Sahel. [Pg.417]

We know that, about 3000-5000 years ago, the inland delta was finally emptied by capture to the benefit of an west-east flowing river tributary. This river tributary bears the name of the river, having created the inland delta, and, as a questionable feeder of the Senegal basin, has become the upper branch of the present Niger. [Pg.113]

For reservoir permeabilities, Peters (2012) noted that they vary widely from 0.001 mdfor a tight gas sand in East Texas to 4000 mdfor an unconsolidated sand in the Niger Delta". [Pg.43]

The levels of PAHs released into the environment fix)m various human activities especially from industrial sources in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria shows that the most polluted medium is the air followed by the soil and water media. Comparing the study locations there is an indication that Eleme (the most industrialized) as compared to Ahoada East (one of the least industrialized) recorded PAH levels 7- million fold higher in the air. Levels of PAHs in Eleme were 3-fold higher in surface water and 7 -fold higher in soil than the levels found in Ahoada East as clearly shown in Fig. 1. [Pg.431]
