GEOLOGY PROJECT TOPICS AND MATERIALS

This work discuses amplitude variation with offset (AVO) modeling and processing applied to an offshore dataset from Niger Delta. Seismic modeling forms the basis for understanding the seismic signature. It helps in the prediction of reservoir characteristics away from well control points. Reliable estimation of petro physical parameters is needed as input for such studies. These petro physical estimates are an integral part of more advanced reservoir characterization and modeling. First, the AVO principles are described and various prestack attributes are presented. Subsequently, the elastic approach is discussed and finally the benefits of seismic modeling with advantages of multi-disciplinary reservoir studies are demonstrated.

Oleh is located between latitude 60 091N and 60 291N of the equator and longitude 50 301E and 60 031E of the Green Witch meridian. Oleh is a town in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta in southern Nigeria. As a matter of fact, it is the headquarter of Isoko South Local Government Area which occupies an area of 732km2. Like any other community, Oleh is divided into two (2) region namely; urban and rural areas. The nature, topography and terrain of Oleh is such that encourages landform development especially the establishment of hotels, although other factors still prevail in the area hindering the development of hotels in Oleh.

Eku is located geographically at latitudes 050 451 to 050 051 North of the equator and longitudes 060 061 to 060 161 East of the Greenwich Meridian. Eku is bounded in the North by River Ethiope, in west by Okpara-waterside, in the east by Abraka and in the South by Samagidi (both in Ethiope East L.G.A of Delta State). Eku has a total landmass of 65,8km2. The entire Ethiope East region falls under Agbon and Abraka clan which is part of the Urhoboland.

Benin City has one of the quality transport services in Nigeria which is located at ring road (Bobizua park) and third market (Osato park). Quality urban transport services in Benin City have been provided by public and private transport companies (Kantorovich, 2012). This has no doubt improved the socio-economic development of Benin City and Edo State large. This is evidence that transportation plays key role in the development of urban and rural areas. The role of transportation in economic development cannot be overemphasized. Transportation is the engine block of any society and hence provides room for effective socio-economic development and societal improvement (Ashenfelter and Card, 2015). According to Aweto (2015), transportation plays key role in urban development and nations building.

Water is central to the movement of matter and energy on Earth. Only 3% is fresh, and only one percent of that is available to us in aquifers, lakes, rivers, streams, and wetlands. Water covers about 70% of Earth’s surface, makes up about 70% of your mass, and is essential for life, Rivers are vital component of the biosphere that contains less than one percent of the world’s fresh water with their higher ecological and social significance which are being polluted by indiscriminate disposal of sewerage, industrial waste, and by excess of human activities affecting their physicochemical characteristics and leads to various deleterious effects on aquatic organisms (Murhekar, 2011; Annalakshmi and Amsath, 2012).

Micropaleontology is an important aspect of geology. It involves the study of microfossil. Most sediments contain microfossil, and the kind of microfossil depends largely on the original age, environment of deposition and burial history of the sediment. Because microfossils are small and abundant they can be recorded from small sample. Hence when a geologist wish to know the age of rock or the salinity and depth of water under which it was laid down, it is to microfossil they will turn to for quick and reliable answer. Also geological surveys, deep sea drilling programs, oil and mining companies working with small samples available from borehole cores and drill cutting have all employed micropaleontologists to learn more about the rock they are handling(Cavalier Smith,T.1987).

The importance of this study is that it will provide us with the opportunity of studying oil exploration in Ughelli and Warri; and the major areas in Nigeria especially in the study areas seriously affected by crude oil exploitation; and take a deeper look at the effects of oil exploration on the inhabitants of Ughelli and Warri and proffer solutions to the problems identified because if problems are not properly looked into and controlled, the situation could get out of hand and this will not be too good for the inhabitants of Ughelli and Warri.

This study comparatively assessed the effect of motorcycle and tricycle (keke) on socio-economic activities in Abraka. The main focus of this study was to examine the socio-economic effect of motorcycle and tricycle mode of transportation in Abraka. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents in Abraka. The result of the first hypothesis indicates that there is a significant relationship between motorcycle use and socio-economic activities at the 0.05 level of confidence. The result of the second hypothesis indicates that there is a significant relationship between keke napep use and socio-economic activities at the 0.05 level of confidence. The result of the third hypothesis reveals that there is a significant difference between the socio-economic effect of motorcycle and tricycle at the 0.05 level of confidence. The study recommends that government should create job opportunities and employment for the people so as to reduce the adverse effect of motorcycle and tricycle (keke) on socio-economic activities in Abraka.

Herbs constitute an integral part of human health therefore; they are used for the treatment of several diseases. One of such popular herbal plant is Phyllanthus amarus. This herb has been in traditional medicine for over 3,000 years and has, thus, served as a lead for several experimental investigations that explored its phytochemical constituents and pharmalogical uses of herbs. So, this present study, investigates the correlation between serum levels of homocysteine and malondialdehyde in malaria infected mice treated with seed and stem extracts of Phyllanthus amarus. Thirty (30) adult Swiss albino mice (22-27g) body weight were procured and randomly divided into six groups (n=5/groups) for the study. Group 1: Positive Control (given distilled water); Group 2: Negative Control (infected with Plasmodium Berghei); Group 3: Experimental 1 (administered 150 mg/kg/d of seed and stem extracts); Group 4:
