The Iullemeden Basin, also known as the Sokoto Basin spans Mali, western Niger, northwest Nigeria and northern Benin and began accumulating sediments in the Jurassic, followed by the Maastrichtian Rima Group, which records a brackish environment. Approximately one-tenth of the Chad Basin is situated in Nigeria.
Basin of Nigeria to determine their geochemical characteristics and possible use as coking coal or otherwise. The geochemical characteristics of a coal determine its usability as a coking coal or as mere steam or non-coking coal. Chemical analysis of the coal samples indicated that, on average, they contain 12.64% moisture, 11.53% ash, 47.56% volatile matter, 0.69% sulphur, 75.41% organic
Coal deposits. The Anambra Basin, located in south-eastern Nigeria, appears to contain the largest and most economically viable coal resources. The basin covers an area of approximately 1.5 million hectares and is constrained by the Niger River on the west, the Benue River on the north and the Enugu Escarpment on the east. The coal is predominantly in one seam that

There are at least 11 significant known coal deposits in Nigeria, mostly located in the eastern flank of the Anambra Basin in south central Nigeria, that appear to contain the largest and most economically viable coal resources. A total of 22 occurrences have been reported across Nigeria Challenges facing Solid Mineral Development in Nigeria
Fluvial deposits of the uppermost Stockton Formation (Late Triassic), Newark Basin, west-central New Jersey have yielded an assemblage of trace fossils. Dominated by burrows, specimens include Cochlichnus anguineus, Helminthoidichnites tenuis, Planolites beverleyensis, Scoyenia gracilis, Spongeliomorpha carlsbergi, Treptichnus bifurcus, Treptichnus pollardi,
05.10.2018· In Africa, the Niger Delta sedimentary basin covers land in Nigeria, Cameroon, and Equatorial Guinea. More than 500 oil deposits have been discovered in the massive Niger Delta basin, and they comprise one of the most productive oil fields
Africa - Africa - Metallic deposits: In North Africa reserves of iron ore are concentrated in the Atlas Mountains and in the western Sahara. Egypt, however, has medium-grade reserves, of which the most important are at Al-Baḥriyyah Oasis. The ore deposits in Morocco and Tunisia, which were once of considerable importance, have been severely depleted.

Fossil spring deposits are common in the southern Great Basin, and their distribution provides important constraints on the hydrologic response of the regional water table to climate change. This information is crucial, because the proposed high-level nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain will be located ∼200–400 m above the modern water table. Water tables will rise in response to a

Data on oil reserves in the Niger Delta basin show a bimodal lognormal distribution with the break in slope reflecting variation in exploration maturity, quality of prospect, and distribution of giant oil fields. Several areas of anomalous reserves are defined by the selected threshold oil-reserves density of 200,000 bbl/km/sup 2/. Five major prolific centers (with reserves contrast >3) are

01.03.2019· Unlike other sedimentary basins in Nigeria, it is characterized by the absence of volcanics, carbonates and rocks of Tertiary age. Dedicated fieldwork carried out over the past four years revealed that the basin is underlain by mainly continental sediments with minor occurrence of marginal/shallow marine to freshwater flood-plain deposits. The initial basin fill is characterized largely by

Exploration activities in the Benue trough have been minimal over the years, mainly because of large petroleum deposits found in the adjoining Niger delta and early gas finds in the Anambra basin, south of the Benue trough. The recent increase in exploration activities in the trough has necessitated a reevaluation of the petroleum potentials of the basin. In this study, the time
01.04.1991· The Cretaceous sediments of the Iullemmeden Basin represent two major biosedimentary episodes. The first, during the "Neocomian" to Cenomanian, is dominated by deposition in a nonmarine basin characterized by braided river and meandering shallow river, floodplain systems.

There is a third, much lower, aquifer in Bima Sandstones that lies at a depth of 2,700 to 4,600 metres (8,900 to 15,100 ft). Oil and Gas resources Both the current and historical areas of the basin and the mega-basin contain concentrations of fossils. Fossil-fuels deposits in the area are estimated to exceed a trillion barrels in reserves.

The hope of the people of Bida Basin in Niger State to join the league of oil-producing community in Nigeria has heightened with the discovery of what looks like hydrocarbon deposits in the area. The history of Niger State is just about to be re-written: its status is likely going to transit from a solid mineral-producing to an oil-gushing state, if the current effort it is putting in that
