| Title | : | Application of Free Structural Model to Hydrocarbon Production Optimization in X Field, Niger Delta |
| Country | : | Nigeria |
| Authors | : | Nwankwo, C.N || Anyanwu, J |
Abstract: This study attempts to optimize hydrocarbon production of an oil Field in Niger Delta through an uncertainty free hydrocarbon reservoir modelling. Four well logs and seismic data of 5500 to 5900 inline and 1480 to 1720Xline range were used to build a structural model and reduce uncertainties from the delineated reservoirs. All the four wells have reservoirs of interest as delineated from well logs based on sand formation resistivity values and porosity information. From the logs interpretation hydrocarbon prolific sand of each well was correlated as reservoirs D and F. The depth and the lateral extent of the reservoirs were secured by tying the well 2 to inline of the seismic.............

| Title | : | Organic and Trace Element Geochemistry of the Ameki Formation, South Eastern Nigeria: Implications and Hydrocarbon Generating Potential |
| Country | : | Nigeria |
| Authors | : | Nzekwe, I. E. || Okoro, A. U. |
Abstract: The source generative potential of the Ameki Formation in Umuahia, area, southeast Nigeria, was investigated using organic geochemical and trace element geochemistry. Results obtained from organic geochemical analysis reveal an overall organic richness with total organic carbon contents ranging from 0.28 to 4.35wt%TOC. The amount of generated hydrocarbon through cracking of the kerogen, S2, recorded from the rock-eval pyrolysis ranges from 0.14 to 3.57wt%. This suggests low hydrocarbon generative potential. The organic matter consists predominantly of inert Type IV kerogen and insignificant gas prone Type III kerogen..............

| Title | : | The Assessment and Management of Amandit Sub-watershed Sustainability, South Kalimantan |
| Country | : | Indonesia |
| Authors | : | Ferry Juniansyah || Imam Hanafi || Kliwon Hidayat |
Abstract: The aim of the research is to evaluate the contribution of environmental, economical, social, institutional and technological dimension in the sustainability of Amandit sub-watershed area in South Kalimantan. The sustainability aspect was assed using Multi-dimensional Scaling (MDS) methods using RapSubDAS-AMANDIT approach. Result of the study shows that in the upstream area, the sustainability of environmental dimension can be classified as moderate. (57.37), the sustainability of economic dimension as moderate (57.19), the sustainability of social dimension as poor (45.79), the sustainability of technological dimension as poor (26.67), and the sustainability of institution dimensions as poor (35.43)...............

| Country | : | Egypt |
| Authors | : | Abdel Rahim. Nagwa. S |
Abstract: The present paper describes the analytical study performed on three different sets of mud bricks from Dayr Al- Naqlun (The Monastery Of The Angel Ghubriyal) (Fayoum, Egypt) which dates back to the third century AD. The Bricks were made up according to a distinguished local school of Brick making which is known in Egypt from pre dynastic period. The materials used for the manufacture of the Bricks were revealed using Xray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy...............
