About the Cover

Gas flaring is one of the major problems associated with the discovery of crude oil in Delta Region of Nigeria. The government efforts to stop gas flaring through implementation of regulations and decrees have not successful as a result of lack of sufficient storage capacity. In order to solve this lingering problem, the study developed depleted underground gas storage for storing large volume of gas. The study makes use of geological information and production history of a depleted oil reservoir in OSO well, Akwa Ibom State. The data collected were used in the computation of the total storage capacity and the determination of gas losses using “C#” programming language. The results revealed that the total storage capacity of the reservoir was estimated to be 488.32Bscf and the working gas was estimated to be 244.16Bscf of the total storage capacity. Meanwhile, the quantity of gas loss when the pressure dropped from 3424.7psia to 3294.7psia was estimated to be 54.57MMscf. Therefore, the well is suitable to store gas across the Niger Delta Area of Nigeria and put an end to gas flaring across the region. Ref: Olanrewaju Clement Alaba.
