Natural Gas Formation and Basins in Nigeria Natural gas is a form of fossil fuel considered to be clean. It is a mixture of carbon-rich gases usually found in reservoirs the in the earth’s subsurface. It is usually found in deposits of oil sands, cracks of rocks, ocean beds, coal deposits, spaces of overlaying rocks, sandstone within shale formations, and sedimentary rocks. An area of the earth’s crust marked by a thick sequence of sedimentary rocks in the earth’s crust is known as a sedimentary basin. In Nigeria, some sedimentary basins are Chad Basin, Dahomey, Sokoto Basin, Benue Trough, Niger Delta Basin, Bida Basin, and Anambra Basin. Natural gas produced during crude oil production is called wet or associated gas (AG). AG is a mixture of other hydrocarbons, water vapour, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfides. It is challenging to transport, contains impurities, and must be processed to derive its useful products. AG is sometimes seen as an undesirable by-product of oil production and is usually flared, thus contributing to global warming and negatively impacting health and the atmosphere from heavy greenhouse gas emissions. According to World Bank’s Global Gas Flaring Tracker Report 2023, Nigeria is among the top nine countries contributing to gas flaring globally. Reinjecting AG into the well to boost oil production is a more beneficial alternative to flaring gas. Non-Associated Gas (NAG), or dry gas, occurs naturally and can be found in gas or condensate wells with almost no associated crude oil. NAG is, therefore, a cleaner form of fuel, hence its place as a transition fuel for Nigeria’s energy growth pathway to net zero by 2060. A Highlight of Some Proven Gas Basins Nigeria’s Inland Basins include Anambra, Benin, Benue Trough, Bida, and Chad. They hold potentially significant hydrocarbon reserves, with gas proven in the first three. In addition, to use in gas-based industries, these gas reserves offer opportunities for exploitation as fuel for power plants with significant benefits for gas supply security, embedded power generation, transmission load balancing, and speed of project realization. K. Onuoha and C. Dim, in their research, “Prospects and Challenges of Developing Unconventional Petroleum Resources in the Anambra Inland Basin of Nigeria,” noted that the predominance of gas-prone facies in inland basins indicates good prospects for finding unconventional petroleum in Anambra and other Nigerian inland sedimentary basins. The Anambra Basin, located between 6°–7.8°N latitude and 6°40’–7°30’E longitude, covers Abia, Enugu, Imo, Delta, Edo, and Kogi States. According to O. L. Babatunde, in “The main oil source formations of the Anambra Basin, South-eastern Nigeria”, this basin has one of the largest sub-bituminous coal and lignite deposits with reported incidences of shale oil seepages around Lokpanta in South-eastern Nigeria. Its hydrocarbon potential might be comparable to the Niger Delta basins holding an estimated 10 trillion cubic feet of potential natural gas in reserve. In 2004, the first serious search for oil in the Anambra basin commenced. It led to Orient Petroleum Resources Plc obtaining an oil prospecting license (OPLs 915 and 916) with authority to construct a private petroleum refinery in the region. A few successfully explored wells in the region are the Igbariam and Ugwuoba gas fields. The OML 155 (OPR); OPL 915 and 916 (Orient); OPL 907 and 917 (GEC) hold more than 10Tcf of Proven reserves and more than 20Tcf of proven probable and possible reserves. Another proven reserve is the Dahomey or Benin Basin, located on the western coast of Nigeria. It covers Nigeria’s Lagos, Ogun, and Ondo states. [/b]Also, the Benue trough extends 1000km northeast from the northern boundary of the Niger Delta to Lake Chad. [b]It spans across Bauchi, Gombe, Ebonyi, and Taraba states. Recently, the Kolmani area of Gombe and Bauchi witnessed the discovery of about 500 billion cubic feet of gas. https://businessday.ng/paywall-free/article/exploring-inland-gas-reserves-what-is-in-it-for-nigeria/

Skyfornia:because of sharp bend. This particular road causes losts of accident because of how zigzag it is. |
magabounce:See, if US is not sanctioning some countries, you will wake up one day and hear that one country has nuked another lesser one for trivia reasons. Weapon of mass destruction is being invented everyday, and as humans, there will always be misunderstanding. So, if there's no rule like "the United Nation Laws", people will killing themselves like in the stone-age. No matter how we see it, one country will still be stronger than the other; it has been like this since creation. |
South Africa must know that Russia will not fully protect them incase they are sanctioned. |
BloomingDale:Is it possible to recognize a person in heaven? |
I think something is seriously wrong with this my country 'Nigeria' ![]() |
I use to see lots of this people along Enugu-Makurdi road. I think they are used to it, but to be frank, this is not safe. |
CongoJewRat:tradesmen get backing by the local and international laws. They act with no consideration of the warfare of their host. However, they are saints when you compare them with herdsmen. At least they add value to the economy and system, but as for herdsmen, they have one plan; to eat and destroy, or even kill when resisted. Tradesmen can be guided through policies that will protect the host and the favour tradesmen. |
Obanai:Move out of your present location. Stop being slow to act when any type of business idea comes your mind. It's better to be somewhere molding blocks and planning your life little-by-little than allowing this kind of thought to consume you. Even if you can't engage in hard-labour, there are plenty of softworks you can start with. An average blogger makes $250+ every month, a phone repairer makes at least 3k everyday, Electronics repairer makes at least 5k everyday, average Nigerian programmer makes $500+ per month. And many other good professions Note: you are a man. Nobody will love you when you are broke, but immediately you start making money, people will worship you. Stop over-thinking about your present condition. Pick something doing. Forget about people and what they say. In about 3 years, you will look back and realize how you have improved. |
How possible will it be to secure job as a cybersecurity expert without degree? |
post=123667653:is this the cheap reason Soludo refused work in Nnewi? |
helinues:Ouk that couldn't support Tinubu fully doing the campaign is busy looking for what's not lost. How many votes did he deliver to APC in the first place? Surely, he will be disgraced. |
Akpabio is the best person for that position |
obinnanelson4:that word "Subsidy" is and will always remain a scam. |
Between Android app development with kotlin and Front-end web development, which one is better to learn now, and which one has more easy access to remote work. Taking into consideration that the learner has NO University degree yet. |
How can a president hurriedly call for removal of fuel subsidy when there's no plan in-hand to cushion the effect of his actions? It makes no sense for the government 'with all it's apparatus' to blame some elites for scamming Nigerians through fuel subsidy. Does it mean they don't know those who import fuel? The matter becomes more complicated when you find out that NNPCL are the sole importer of fuel in Nigeria. If so, does it mean they are the ones scamming the country with fuel subsidy? Even though they may have their defense by claiming to have given license some folks to import fuel, but why can't they supervise them? In all these, Nigerian people remained calm as if nothing is happening. We have to understand that Nigeria will not change if the citizens does not demand for it. Today, people are now buying fuel for over 500 naira per liter. No one has thought about the average citizens who are only receiving 30k as monthly salary. Rather, tribalism has closed people's mouth. Will a yoruba man protest against harsh policy when their brother is the president, or is it the easterners that will protest so that other Nigerians will call it hate and wailing? The north will never demand for better representations since the president is of their religious divide. The new government even came out to state that Nigeria won't be subsidizing fuel for other neighboring countries. If people divert fuel to other countries, what now is the work of the military, paramilitary and immigration officers? Finally, for those who still believe that some strong people are scamming the country through subsidy should know that NNPCL are those scammers. |
I pray Enugu state will not have this kind of governor again. |

At least 28 Palestinians have died in the latest wave of violence that began with Israeli airstrikes on Gaza on Tuesday, May 9. Israel recorded its first death on Thursday. The Israeli airstrikes have hit residential buildings in Gaza, killing at least four women and six children. In retaliation, the Islamic Jihad group fired at least 547 rockets toward Israel as of afternoon local time. Gaza is home to as many as 2.3 million Palestinians who have been subject to stringent Israeli-led land, air, and sea blockades since 2007. rights organizations call Gaza an "open-air prison."

mtngloetiartel:I actually want to know because there's this stone in my village that people use to control the weather. I am thinking if it's also a meteorite? |
MRDEE01:how can such rock be used for sorcery? |
Man people belive that someone who is dead can come back to life in-form of animal or human. I have personally heard about a mother who made a cut in her dead baby's ear in an attempt to mark him, and know when he reincarnate. So, she gave birth to baby couple of years later, and surprisingly, the baby had a cut on his ear. People now agree that the first ad baby is back to live. There are many stories of people who die and later get seen in another place living life. What have you heard about reincarnation, and do you believe it? |
A kind of alcohol in powder form. Someone can easily add water to it and drink, or even use it as additives when cooking. It will make transportation of alcohol very easy and less stressful since it's in powdered form. Although, the main question I want scientists and scholars here to answer is if it's possible to achieve. |
cutecommend:Your number 4 and 5 points are irritating and unbiblical. Perhaps you are one of those scammers leaching on other people's wealth for survival. |
Stop spreading false teaching. Tithing or any kind of religious giving does not yield any prosperous results. Only hard-working and persistence can give someone success. |

Delta North senator-elect, Ned Nwoko, has said the petition of the Labour Party Presidential candidate against the emergence of Tinubu as president-elect is an effort in futility. Punch reports that Nwoko explained that once the President-elect is sworn in, the petition filed against him at the Presidential Elections Petitions Tribunal in Abuja, might not see the light of day. According to him, the Labour Party’s ‘’poor assessment of the situation and unrealistic expectations'' led to its defeat. He said if the opposition parties had teamed up, they would have trounced the ruling APC in the election, given the ‘poor performance’ of the current APC regime, led by President Buhari. “Once Tinubu is inaugurated as President, he takes charge of everything. He becomes the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces; he orders them and uses them as he wishes. He appoints new Chief Justice upon recommendation by the judicial council. So, you see, it is almost impossible to stop him from completing his four years tenure. Moving forward, the PDP and Labour Party have to come to terms and make next election more strategic. Natural alliance between both parties is the only way to save Nigeria from this inauspicious government.” he said https://davegist.com.ng/peter-obis-petition-against-tinubu-is-an-effort-in-futility-ned-nwoko/
