I am a final year student and I major in geology. I intend to pursue a career in mineral resources exploration and exploitation, and I also intend to have further study beyond the shores of Nigeria.

I want your discretion on this. Which country(s) and instution(s) do you believe can help me achieve thi goal and what course should I apply for?

I await your reply.

Ok, guess I can be called the prodigal son of the geoscience world. Did oil field and reservoir related studies after my graduation, then tolled a different path; Facilities fabrication and construction. Just this week I came across a file folder on GAS LIFT SYSTEM and it triggered memories.
An planning on doing an M Sc in pipeline engineering but by proxy I don't have a B. Eng. Now am thinking home cuz I love all the analysis and thrills in exploration.

Guide me home people.

Can you help me get Eclipse reservoir simulator with license? I once used a hacked version and it couldn't run 3D as am currently in Lagos. Just need my hands on
