Abstract: The palynological and paleoenvironmental study of tertiary age deposits are crossed by two hydraulic boreholes located at southwest of the "lagoon fault" on the coastal basin of Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) where fifty (50) pairs of thin palynological blades were examined. This study revealed an exceptional richness of these samples in spores and pollen grains associated with rare dinokysts that revealed an Association with Danea californica (Danien), an Association to Apectodinium quinquelatum and Apectodinium homomurphum (Selandian-Thanétian), an Association to Kallosphaeridium yorubaense, Adnatosphaeridium multispinosum, (Lutetian-Bartonian), an Association to Proxapertites operculatus (Priabonian) and an Association to Laevigatosporites ovatu (Aquitanian-Burdigalian). Paleoenvironmentally, sediments have evolved in an internal coastal nerine environment throughout the wells, depending on eustatic movements..

Abstract: The Bhuban Formation of the Surma Group of rocks is well exposed in the Kaptai to Baraichari road cut section, Sitapahar anticline, Kaptai, Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh. The main goal of the study is to delineate lithosequences, facies association, depositional model and interpret of different sub environment of the sedimentary deposits of the study area. Litho-stratigraphically the Middle Bhuban Member consists of mainly light gray to black laminated to thinly bedded shale, sandy shale and siltstone and the Upper Bhuban Member of yellowish brown and dark color sandstone, silty shale and black shale. The Lower Bhuban Member is not exposed in the investigated area. Based on texture and sedimentary structures, a total of six lithofacies have been identified such as turbidite sandstone (ST), lenticular laminated sandstone -siltstone-silty shale (Sll), ripple laminated sandstone - siltstone (Sr), wavy laminated sandstone-siltstone-silty shale (Sw), wavy laminated silty shale to shale (Fw), laminated shale (.....

Abstract: Well logs data from three wells (01, 03 and 04) was employed in the formation evaluation of the onshore X-field, Niger Delta. The geophysical logs used comprises of gamma ray, resistivity, density and neutron log. Sandstone and shale lithology were delineated within the interval logged which is a distinctive quality of the Agbada formation in the Niger Delta. Petrophysical parameters of the reservoirs delineated revealed that Shale volume ranges between 0.034 – 0.15. Porosity and Permeability values range between 26–31% and 1947.08–2541.99 mD. Water saturation ranges between 44% – 98% in the identified reservoirs, which indicates that the proportion of void spaces occupied by water varied from low to high values, thus, indicating both low and high hydrocarbon saturation which ranges from 2% – 56% respectively. The porosity, permeability, shale volume and hydrocarbon pore volume values of the reservoirs within the field proved them to be quite productive.This study has demonstrated that formation evaluation has a vital role to play in reservoirs characterization.

Abstract: The present study describes the use of seismicinversion process to optimize the reservoir characterization of a field in the Niger Delta basin of Nigeria. The purpose of the study was to use post-stack reflectivity inversionto predict the lithology, porosity and presence hydrocarbon within the field away from well control. The reservoir interval were discriminated and evaluated to show characterize lithology and identified fluid. The estimated average porosity in B20 reservoir varies from 28% to 31% whilethe volume of shale and water saturation ranges from 6% to 8% and 19% to 27% in Niger Delta reservoir respectively. Theinversionresult and the RMS attribute was used to predict lithology variationin the field. The sand facies indicate high RMS amplitudecorresponding to low acoustic impedance at the top of the reservoir. Higher-quality areas of Niger Deltareservoir were spotted and specific consideration were dedicated to some deep geological structures that have favored hydrocarbon accumulation.

Abstract: Five localities of mangrove environment along the Egyptian Red Sea Coast were selected for the present study. Three of these are located on the coast, whereas, the other two localities are islands. The samples were taken from the surface sediments. Granulometric analysis was carried out to recognize the textural characteristics of these sediments. Also, geochemical analysis was performed for some heavy metals such as Fe, Mn, Zn, Ni, Cu, Pb and Cd to define their concentrations and assess the potential natural and anthropogenic impacts on the considered sediments. It is noted that Wadi El-Gimal coastal area exhibited the highest mean contents of Fe (4851.6g/g), Mn (805.4g/g), Ni (91.0g/g) and Pb (13.9g/g) comparable to the other studied localities. The highest mean values of Cd were recorded in El-Queih coastal area and Abu-Minqar island (2.67g/g and 1.99g/g) respectively......
