Abstract: Background: Oloibiri is a community in Bayelsa State, in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The first commercial oil discovery in Nigeria was in the community. Oloibiri oilfield produced oil for 20 years and production finally stopped in 1978 and the field was abandoned. There was growing interest in identifying new petroleum prospects within Bayelsa State, as expressed when the State hosted the National Council on Hydrocarbon Summit in 2020. This research focused on the application of magnetic method in delineation of structures and sediment thickness underlying the area; hence, highlighting the basin's structural and sedimentary endowments favourable for hydrocarbon generation, accumulation and migration in the place. The geologic features that enhanced the drying or accumulation of oil within Oloibiri Area were highlighted in this study......

Abstract: When carrying out the data-acquisition phase of the 4 km2 areal extent VES survey at the southern Phase II Development, Gidan Kwano Campus, Minna, Nigeria, concomitant VES-IP surveys were ignored for the points of Profile 11 because the results of the dual VES-IP surveys for these points already existed in the longitudinal traverse (LT) format beyond the northernmost 21st 2 km linear extent station of the 4 km2 areal extent grid. The aim of this study is to process and interpret the central longitudinal traverse data-field of the 4 km2 VES study at the southern Phase II Development of the Gidan Kwano Campus in order to gain insight into the hydro-centric nature of the material along this mid-profile. The VES survey for the mid-profile of interest in this study was carried out over the spread of P11-1 to P11-34 in no particular order but a survey point being determined by the convenience and logistics of getting to that point on the day of survey. Essentially, the log-log plots show more three-layer geological......

Abstract: Morphological, petrological and geochemical variations are used to discern the formation of different types of migmatites and their associated charnockitic rocks which are derived from metasedimentary origin. The study area lies within Bauchi sheet 149 NE. Morphological/field description shows a variation in textural and structural features from metatexite to diatexite to (nebulitic) charnockitic rocks that are dark in colouration due to high quantity of mafic minerals derived from its protolith. The diatexite shows variation from melanocratic to leucocratic containing changes in mineralogy and textures. The charnockite exhibits magmatic foliation which makes it to be metamorphic. Petrographically, the rock mainly composed orthopyroxene, silliminite, quartz, plagioclase, k-feldspar, biotite, muscovite and shows metamorphic imprints in microscopic scale such as undulous extinction in quartz, obliteration in albite twinning. The studied plagioclase are essentially Na-rich, characterized......
