Nigeria and Texas are both rich in oil and gas resources and have had the problem of gas flaring in the course of oil and gas production. In Nigeria, flaring of associated gas continues to generate adverse environmental and energy consequences against the backdrop of sustainable development. Presently Nigeria is still the second largest gas
GEOPHYSICS FOR MINERAL EXPLORATION INTRODUCTION The purpose of carrying out geophysical surveys is to find out something about the rocks in the survey area. Geophysical methods all depend on measuring a physical property of rocks. There are only a few such properties, shown in Table 1: Table 1: Geophysical properties useful for surveys, roughly in
Extraction of mineral resources is the backbone of the national economy in many developed and developing countries of the world. However, the exploitation can have many negative impacts on the immediate environment of the exploitation sites. In this study performed on some mining areas of the Moroccan Anti-Atlas, four principal negative effects were detected: effect on the
solution to the problem of effective policy implementation failures in Nigeria must stem logically from a rigorous examination and analysis of its causes, the study is set to look at policy implementation as a major stage in the policy process, to highlight the need and the role of public bureaucracy in effective implementation of polices, examine obstacles that constrain the
High resolution aeromagnetic data that can be applied in hydrocarbon search, mineral and ores explorations, archaeological investigations, UXO and metal objects detections etc. were employed in this study. The data were used to map the spatial distribution of short and long wavelength magnetic anomalies and thicknesses of sediments in some parts of southeastern
· For the mining industry, technological advances have made the world's oceans the new frontier. Both companies and governments have started exploration and even tout deep-sea mining as a safer alternative to the problems caused by mineral extraction. But they do so in the absence of any scientific consensus on the long-term impacts of deep-sea mining.
· Alternative financing solutions were developed such as royalty and metal stream agreements that reduce the burden on mining companies' balance sheets. To spread the risk of new capital-intensive projects, these financing solutions are likely to continue to grow. Companies may also seek to develop joint ventures similar to those observed in the oil and
Final Frontier vs. Fruitful Frontier: The Case for Increasing Ocean Exploration. Possible solutions to the world's energy, food, environmental, and other problems are far more likely to be found in nearby oceans than in distant space. Every year, the federal budget process begins with a White House-issued budget request, which lays out
Gully erosion, the most impressive and striking erosion type, has been recognized as one of the major global environmental problems. Many States in Nigeria are currently under the threats of this phenomenal process, south-eastern part of the country being the most affected. It has numerous causes; and these causes can be both naturally and artificially-induced, but the
Discussed are the many faces of corruption; as well as its causes, effects, and possible solutions. Because of the outstanding nature of this article, its upgraded version appears in a book WE THE PEOPLE - Building a New Democracy in Nigeria as a Model for Africa. The upgraded version appears as chapter five. The book is written by 18 great authors—get it to

Nigeria Include: Financial Problems: About 80% of Small and medium entreprises are stifled because of poor financing and other associated problems [14]. The problem of financing SMEs is not so much the sources of funds but its accessibility. Factors identified inhibiting funds accessibility are the stringent conditions set by financial institutions, lack of adequate collateral
The price of minerals is up all over the world, and mining is a growth business right now. Everyone wants to jump in. There are all sorts of aspects to the mining industry you may want to take advantage of. Maybe you want approval from a government agency to open a new mining operation. Maybe you want to expand an existing operation or revive an old one. Perhaps you
It is necessary to maintain the environment as much as possible to its original condition after exploration activities in the area. CONCLUSIONS This paper has revolved around the current situation concerning the proper implementation of the Nigerian local content policy, reasons and challenges. This paper underlines the concerns of the infective implementation of the Nigerian
aspects through all phases of mineral extraction, from exploration to mine construction, operation and closure. Australia is a world leader in mining, and our national expertise has been used to ensure that these handbooks provide contemporary and useful guidance on leading practice. Australia's Department of Industry, Innovation and Science has provided technical
The federal government of Nigeria farms out oil mining rights to the oil companies and receives rents and royalties from them. Nigerian law of property section 16 of the Interpretation Act, 1964 explicitly excludes mineral oils from the mining of land, state owned land which support oil are controlled by the communities and families until 1978 when the Land Use Act was

may have applications to problems in mineral exploration peculiar tb the tropics, if conditions are favorable and the operations are not too expensive. The principal aim of the present investigation was to find out whether soil analysis could be used to locate those lead-zinc deposits that lie beneath a tropical weathering profile, and whether the cost of such a survey, if
· Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Olamilakan Adegbite has urged Nigerians to resist the activities of those who smuggle minerals out of Nigeria. He said the Ministry is collaborating with
Oil exploration, exploitation and use have several consequences for the environment. Oil pollution is one of the major problems faced by coastal ecosystems. Oil pollution can be described as the introduction by man directly or indirectly any hydrocarbon materials especially crude oil and its refined products into the environment. (Adeyanju, 2022). The Nigerian
views of the problems and the possible solutions in the context of Niger Delta, tried to open a transparent dialogue and share their mutual experiences in the State of Bayelsa. The results of these discussions led to this submission where both entities share their perspectives, the activities they are carrying out in the territory and the joint proposals and recommendations to improve
· On the other hand, spatial exploration of terrains with significant evidence for mineral occurrence are more suitable for data driven integration methods, which is often aimed at identifying spatial patterns identical to zones of mineral occurrence. In Nigeria, the practical use of remote sensing and GIS technology for exploration purposes are limited. This could be
· One problem for future space colonists is sustenance. It's not feasible to expect constant food deliveries if mankind sets up a second outpost in the solar system, so they must find a way to be self-sufficient. As a possible solution, a team of scientists attempted—with variable success—to grow crops in different types of extraterrestrial
· The second most populous continent has an abundance of highly valuable minerals. It is therefore quite surprising that Africa is so backward when compared to most other continents. The reasons for this underdevelopment of Africa are varied hence it is important to outline as many of them as possible. CAUSES OF UNDERDEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA
· Nigeria has been very active in the exploitation and exploration of oil and gas. It has been the major source of revenue which has contributed over 90% on yearly basis. There is no doubt that the Nigerian oil and gas industry is plagued with many impending problems. This article examines the crux of problems confronting the oil and gas industry as well as
