Abstract:

Bima Sandstone at Wuro-Dole and environs was studied for its level of maturity and source area (provenance). In evaluating its textual maturity and provenance, field mapping was carried out and representative samples were subjected to physico-chemical and mineralogical analyses. The sandstone consists of some primary sedimentary structures:cross-beddings and ripple marks. Strike measurements of these primary structures plotted on current rose diagrams indicated SSE-NNW and NE-SW/NW-SE directions. The Bima Sandstone is averagely made up of medium grained, poorly-sorted, fine skewed and very lep

Abstract:

Six lithofacies were identified in the Lokoja Formation, Southern Bida Basin: fanglomerate/ conglomerate lithofacies (Gmc), fine to coarse-grained ferruginized weakly cross-bedded, pebbly sandstone lithofacies (Scx), fine to coarsegrained sandstone lithofacies (Sfc), silty claystone lithofacies (Csm), siltstone lithofacies (Slt) and lateritic ironstone lithofacies (Ilt). These were grouped into three lithofacies associations viz: alluvial fan, braided river channel, floodplain lithofacies association. Nine lithofacies were identified in the Ahoko Formation. These are: black-dark grey carbonace

Abstract:

The Southern Bida basin consists of the Lokoja, Patti, and Agbaja formations. This study focuses on the Lokoja formation and samples gotten were used for petrography and heavy mineral analysis. Results of all analytical techniques employed in the study are presented here. A critical assessment of each set of results and their integration aided the proper interpretation and useful discussion. This study focuses on the Southern Bida Basin, specifically the Lokoja Formation because the exposures of Patti are poorly exposed. Outcrop samples were obtained from the exposed sections of the study area

Abstract:

This study offers additional evidence for the occurrence of oil residues within fractures of the basement rocks in the Upper Benue Trough, Nigeria. The data suggests that the observed oil residues were originally generated as light oils, which were later biodegraded into heavy oils. These Upper Benue Trough's oil stains are a valuable tool for hydrocarbon exploration in the region as they indicate the existence of a petroleum system in the basin. We find a strong similarity to the proportions of C27, C28, and C29 regular steranes of oils found in the sandstones and shales of the Bima Formation

Sandstones sampled from Patti Formation, Southern Bida Basin, were studied geochemically using Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrophotometer (ICP-AES) and an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) technique to evaluate their weathering and tectonic setting as well as to deduce the paleo-climatic conditions that existed during their deposition. Geochemically, SiO2 range from 73.9% to 86.2%, Al2O3 (6.7%~17.1%), Fe2O3 (1.1%~1.9%), K2O (0.1%~0.7%) while MgO, CaO, Na2O, P2O5, MnO and TiO2 were <1%.

Abstract:

Petroleum, often known as crude oil, is a complex organic mixture that naturally exists beneath the surface. There is often extreme pollution and other dangerous conditions associated with its exploration, production, refining, storage, and distribution activities. Thus, it is vital to carefully consider the best options after hydrocarbons are found in the Bida Basin, especially in regards to oil spills. In order to prevent this, this study created a preventive model by contaminating samples of sandstone from the Doko Member of the Bida Basin with spent engine oil, which is known to contain a

Lower Cretaceous sediments are widespread within the Skybа and Dukla-Chornorgora Nappes (Spas and Shypot Formations) over a considerable area. These deposits contain sandstones that can be industrial reservoirs for hydrocarbons. Such sandstones are described both on the surface and identified in deep wells. Thick sandy strata in the middle part of the Spas and Shypot formations formed as deposits of gravity flows at the second level of avalanche sedimentation, at the foot of the continental slope of the northern continental margin of the Tethys Ocean. Their formation is correlated with global

Abstract The Patti Formation which consists of sandstone and shale offers the best potential source beds in the Bida Basin. This inland basin is one of the basins currently being tested for hydrocarbon prospectivity in Nigeria. Fresh samples of shale from Agbaja borehole, Ahoko quarry and Geheku road cut were analysed using organic geochemical and palynological techniques to unravel their age, paleoecology, palynofacies and source bed hydrocarbon potential. Palynological data suggest Maastrichtian age for the sediments based on the abundance of microfloral assemblage; Retidiporites magdalenens
