And you that knows, what can you say to prove him wrong?


Advanced stage means making a find and carrying out appraisal. All I see here is banishing equipment they don't even know how to use.

OkoYiboz:


Educationally, economically, infrastructurally, and security wise, the North is beyond backwards.

I've been to 26 states in Nigeria and I'm telling you based on experience and stats. The North is so poor that it can't eat what it produces. Everything there is brought here.

A new crop of Northern leaders need to emerge to replace the misfits presently leading the Northern people.

FabioPeter:
This is not oil exploration, it looks like data acquisition. It's done to determine the economic feasibility of the reservoir.

KevinDein:
behind all the "lol" I truly feel your pains.

vanbonattel:


Diversification in Nigeria means changing the location of oil wells from south to north.

vanbonattel:
It's good. This is the diversification of our resources the president promised Nigerians. When I say Goodluck Jonathan is a leaner where this fraud of a government is, ZoneBs won't understand.

They will continue to milk Niger Delta resources to get oil, and when they do, no southerner can dream of getting an oil well up north. Our mumu don do!

OkoYiboz:
It's not a matter of oil or not, it's a matter of orientation and leadership. No matter the volume of oil the North has, there would still be beggars coming from the North to beg all around Nigeria.

There is no sector that the North has excelled in leadership and management.

Those are vibroseis machines.

They generate sweeps of seismic energy used in imaging of the subsurface.

Sometimes it's best you search for knowledge rather than broadcast your ignorance.

tempest01:



Does acquiring seismic data for geographical mapping and interpretation equate to advanced exploration stage in finding Commercial reservoir for exploitation?

Common you are more intelligent than this.

rusher14:


This is considered advanced because they've moved away from the drawing board, reconnaissance, from geodetic surveying and they are now into full fledged seismic surveying.

The analysis of the survey would determine if Wells are to be sited, how many and where exactly.

There can be no drilling ( actually there can be wildcats) without this stage of investigation.

Also, a well might already be in the vicinity and they may be carrying out VSPs or 4D surveys.
Either way this is well advanced exploration.

EmeeNaka:
The North needs Oyel money more than anything else. You mean dry northern forest hold oil reserve? Lol. Buhari is playing politics with Niger Delta oil money.

President Buhari's determination to explore oil in the north yields positive results as oil exploration in Bauchi has reached an advanced stage.

U mean advanced stage of desperately looking for oil?

southpole:

You asked a question, let me educate you even though d south erroneously believed it is educated. when you asked whether the dry northern forest hold oil reserve, I will advise you look at the world distribution of oil. Majority of the richest oil reserves are located in dry countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, Irag, Libya, Niger, California in USA and many others. Niger Republic having oil suggest that Northern Nigeria has oil. It will b an act of foolishness if d neighbour just behind your window is tapping oil and you are doing nothing to also tap. it is very unfortunate that some comments here show some people will not be happy if oil is finally strike in d North.

southpole:

Is just that in the North we prefer to b beggers than to be kidnappers, armed robbers, drug pushers etc.

Iamwrath:
Awa oyel pipu will not like this

At this rate maybe they'll move the cattle industry to the south.

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:




WHat you talking about? You guys have been crying and wailing all over the places about it's our oil, leave our oil alone etc and Buhari determine to look for oil in North and behold they discover oil so what's your fuss about that?

We have oil in Lagos too so you guys will soon be left with your oil but what i know is most company won't patronize you guys cos of militants.. hahah

vanbonattel:


No problems, since you used our money to find the oil, I hope you know we shall have many oil wells in the north

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:



Una money? How if i may ask?
