R1, R2, R3, and F. reservoir units were identified in the XYZ Field. The reservoirs are within the Oil proven fault block and F reservoir is located on the footwall structure of the second synthetic fault with similar structural characteristics. The faulting in the XYZ field resulted in a downward movement of the XYZ Discovery relative to the XYZ prospects. The structural development process of the field was a syn-sedimentary. This explains why the XYZ-1 penetration in the footwall of the synthetic found oil-in F sand. However, petrophysical results show that the reservoirs of interests have good petrophysical properties with minimum porosity of 0.1 and maximum water saturation of 0.7. The discoveries by the XYZ-1 well prove the existence of a working hydrocarbon source and charge system. However the distribution pattern of the discovered hydrocarbons is not yet understood.

Seismic and well log data were collected from onshore depobelt of Nigeria with a total of 1000 seismic lines and 3 wells. The main objective of the study was to determine hydrocarbon prospectivity and reserve estimates of the field. The evaluation centred on seismic interpretation and 3D visualisation (DHI detection) of the “Ejanla Field” 3D in total, Four horizons have been interpreted regionally for correlation purposes and three as prospect specific horizons. Four prospects and some, more speculative leads were identified in the area of which most are conventional three way dip/fault closures and some hanging wall closures. The potential for stratigraphic trapping was also recognized. The study showed that the small closure areas and limited hydrocarbon column lengths affected the number of prospects and at the shallow levels.The main risk to oil prospectivity in the area as revelled by the data interpretation is gas which may have resulted from the observed higher geothermal gradient in the deeper depth. Reservoir development and retention (overpressure) for prospects and leads in the deeper and more distal sedimentological settings form additional risks.

This study was carried out integrating well logs and core to build reservoir model for the Useni-1 oil field. Core data and well logs were used to evaluate the petrophysical characteristics of the reservoirs. The paleodepositional environment was deduce from the wells and cores data. The depositional facies model showed highly permeable channels where the wells where positioned. The environments identified that the fluvial channel facies with highly permeable zones constituted the reservoirs. Four reservoirs were mapped at depth range of 8000ft to 8400ft with thicknesses varying from 20ft to 400ft. Petrophysical results showed that porosity of the reservoirs varied from 12% to 28 %; permeability from 145.70 md to 454.70md; water saturation from 21.65% to 54.50% and hydrocarbon saturation from 45.50% to 78.50 %. Core data and the gamma ray log trends with right boxcar trend indicate fluvial point bar and tidal channel fills in the lower delta plain setting. By-passed hydrocarbons were identified in low resistivity pay sands D1, D2 at depth of 7800 – 78100ft in the field.

Groundwater is one of the very sensible natural resource and to protect its quality there is need of proper management system. Groundwater modelling is very advance method for the simulation, forecasting and set remediation strategy to protect the ground-water system, it is an emerging field in groundwater study. So many scientists and researchers are working on this to prepare a groundwater management strategy and to improve the efficiency of the model. For solving the different groundwater related issues, it is important to select proper model. For the accuracy of the model result, it needs to have proper idea about the model, procedure of model run and selection of model basing on the problems. There are a smaller number of modelling software like SWAT, MODFLOW, MT3DMS, RT3D, MT3D, FLUXOS, CXTFIT, FEFLOW, Retraso-Code-Bright etc. Sometimes coupled models are also preferable as per the problem. This paper based on review of the general characteristics of different transport modelling software, methodology of the model development and its application in the different issues related to groundwater development and management.

The trends of glacial lakes formation and glacial lake outburst flooding events have been increased across Himalayan Karakorum Hindu Kush (HKH) ranges during last decade due to increase in global warming. This research is addressing the temporal monitoring of ghamu bar glacial lakes using remote sensing and GIS. Landsat images of 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2015 were used to map temporal glacial lakes using normalized difference water index (NDWI) index. The results of normalized difference water index were validated through modified normalized difference water index and field photographs. Temporal variability shows that, glacier lake area has been increase from 1990 to 2015. In 1990 total area of lake was 0.052 sq, which further increased 0.0423 in 1995 than it decreases to 0.314 in 2000 due to detached of debris cover moraine from glacier tongue and it reach 0.0846 sq.km in 2005. The area gradually increased up to 0.1296 sq.km in 2010 and it goes up to 0.157 sq.km 2015. The overall increase in area are expanding at an accelerated rate in past two decades, indicating that Darkut glacier is more vulnerable toward climate change through increase in size and volume ofghamu bar glacial lakes. There is need for vigilance in monitoring of ghamu bar glacial lake through high resolution remote sensing data and development of Geo-database enabling more details about past and future lakes behaviors toward climate change impacts.

The results of the floodplain soils study on the spatial distribution of selected trace elements in top soils (0 – 30 cm) and sub soils (> 30 – 100 cm) near Ala River, Akure metropolis, are reported. The objectives of this study are to determine the concentration of trace elements in the top and bottom soils, and identify the possible enrichment sources of these elements in the floodplain area. Forty two samples (top soil 21; sub soil 21) were collected for the study. The samples were air dried at room temperature, disaggregated and sieved using 53 µg mesh size. The prepared samples were further digested using modified aqua regia of (1:1:1 HNO3: HCL: H2O). The digests were subjected to elemental analysis using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Emission Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The trace elements concentration in ppm exhibited the following distribution pattern. Cu range in ppm from 6.0 – 53.0 mean 27.43; Pb, 10.0 – 165.0, mean 58.43; Zn, 29.0 – 479.0 mean 223.1; Ni, 10.0 – 20.0, mean 14.86; Co, 16.0 – 33.0, mean 24.29; Mn, 250.0 – 1615.0, mean 983.29; Th 9.0 – 19.0, mean 14.43; V, 35.0 – 89.0, mean 73.05; La 26.0 – 84.0, mean 56.76 and Cr 11.0 – 60.0 mean 40.43. While the result for the sub soils range in ppm, Cu from 3.0 – 51.0, mean 21.24; Pb, 7.0 – 208.0, mean 56.33; Zn, 21.0 - 460.0. mean 149.14; Ni, 8.0 – 29.0, mean 13.76; Co, 12.0 – 37.0, mean 23.95; Mn, 138.0 – 2283.0, mean 806.43; Th 9.0 – 28.0, mean 17.48; V, 40.0 – 105.0, mean 68.71; La 25.0 – 96.0, mean 61.00 and Cr 12.0 – 58.0 mean 35.38. The results of both the top soils and sub soils showed higher concentration metal enrichment than the average shale values. The relative elemental mean concentration is such that Mn> Zn > V > La > Pb > Cr > Co > Cu > Th > Ni in that order. Elements such as Cu, Zn, Pb, V, Mn, Th and Cr had relatively moderate to very strong correlation coefficient (r = 0.54 0.97) with each other, which apparently indicate that these elements are of same source of enrichment in the floodplain. Pb, Zn, V, La, Th and Cr are elements that are of significant environmental concerns.

The Sudanese red sea coastal plain is geologically characterized by Cenozoic siliciclastic and shallow marine rift related sedimentary se-quences. Pliocene-Pleistocene is represented by the thick older gravel unit and the emergent linear reef terraces. In this study, wire line logs besides the investigations of cutting samples were used to investigate the un cored facies successions, to detect changes in grain size distribution, lithology and sedimentary facies and hence to interpret depositional environment. Confirmation of the log behavior using the cores and the cutting samples was undertaken. Furthermore, core to gamma-ray and spontaneous potential log correlations were set up. The lithofacies association and the depositional patterns of Zeit Formation were controlled by allocyclic and autocyclic processes, which include tectonic, palaeo climatic as well as depositional mechanisms. The lithofacies Distribution of Lower Zeit Member shows the southwestern part of the area is dominated by terrestrial to marginal marine partly supra tidal domain where some channel feeders can support the sand distribution from south to north. The central part of the area is dominated by shallow marginal marine to partly supra-tidal domains. The Middle Zeit Member was dominated by marginal marine to supratidal domain. The Upper Zeit Member repeated pattern of facies distribution being similar to that of Middle Zeit, however the sandy facies influxes increased towards the S. Suakin, Digna- area, towards Bashayer area and Durwara area from south to north.

Soil acidity is a major factor limiting green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in the Cameroon western Highland. A field experiment (split-plot layout) was conducted with seven dolomite treatments (tons ha-1): control or T0 (0), T1 (0.5), T2 (1), T3 (1.5), T4 (2), T5 (2.5) and T6 (3). Soil physico-chemical properties were determined meanwhile growth and yield parameters were collected weekly for a month and analyzed statistically. Results revealed that control soils were texturally silty sandy. The exchangeable bases (except Na), cation exchange capacity (CEC), base saturation and available phosphorus were very high. They acidity was moderate to high (5.2 to 5.6) while organic matter was very high (% dry mass) and of moderate to good quality (110.05) on crop parameters, although highest yield (13.61 tons ha-1) of extrafine pods came from 2 tons ha-1. The dolomite dose versus variety interaction showed no significant difference (P>0.05). Farmers ought to improve soils with compost and cover crops to check nutrient leaching and erosion.

A study was conducted in the Department of Agronomy, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh from April to August 2012 to examine the salinity tolerance of eight jute varieties (CVE-3, C-83, CVL-1, BJC-7370, O-795, O-9897, OM-1, O-72) and two kenaf varieties (HC-95 and HC-2). Initially germination of these varieties were evaluated under six salinity levels viz. 0mM, 20mM, 40mM, 60mM, 80mM, and 100mM NaCl in the seed laboratory of the Department of Agronomy. Afterwards, all the varieties was grown in pots in the net house under four salinity levels viz. 0mM, 25mM, 50mM, and 75mM. The results from the germination study revealed that under control condition (0mM NaCl) all the jute varieties showed germination more than 80% both at 7 and at 14 days after seed sowing, whereas kenaf varieties had germination a little less than 80%. Among the jute varieties, O-72 showed the highest germination (92%), which was statistically similar with those of OM-1(91%), O-795 (90%), and C-83(87%). Salinity stress decreased germination drastically in all of the jute and kenaf varieties. A salinity level of 100mM caused the highest germination inhibition (74.70%) in jute variety CVL-1, which was very close to those of BJC-7370 and O-72. On the other hand, the lowest germination inhibition (51.11%) was recorded in jute variety O-795. The results of the pot trail showed that the plant characters of jute and kenaf varieties were affected significantly by salinity stress. All the varieties produced their respective plant height, number of leaves per plant, and plant dry weight under control condition (no salinity). Among these varieties, CVE-3 produced the highest plant height (145.2cm), and total dry weight (22.55g), whereas O-72 produced the highest number of leaves per plant (24.67). All these plant characters decreased sharply due to salinity stress irrespective of variety. However, the rate of decrease of plant characters occurred differentially in the jute and kenaf varieties. The highest rate of decrease in number of leaves (74.22%) was found from the variety CVE-3, whereas the lowest one was recorded from the variety HC-2 (51.68%). Salinity stress caused the highest decrease in total plant dry weight (73.68%) in the variety CVL-1 and plant height (73.64%) also in the variety CVL-1. On the contrary, the lowest decrease in plant dry weight (50.99%) was found in the variety O-9897 and plant height also in variety O-9897 (50.88%). Based on the results from germination test and pot trail, it can be inferred that jute variety O-9897 appeared to be the most salt tolerant followed by O-795, HC-2, HC-95, CVE-3, O-72, C-83, BJC-7370, OM-1, and CVL-1.
