RESERVE
ESTIMATE OF IMERI BITUMEN DEPOSIT
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Petroleum
industry has become the mainstay of the overall economy of Nigeria, accounting
for about 90 per cent of the country’s foreign exchange earrings, about 20 per
cent of the Gross Domestic Product, and about 85 per cent of the Federal
Government collectable revenue. The demand for this back gold is fast
increasing worldwide. Figure 1.1, from Purvin & Gertz' most recent Global
Petroleum Market Outlook study, shows how petroleum product demand has grown
since 1995 and how it is expected to continue to grow through 2015. The study
shows a 1.7 % per annum growth in worldwide demand and that this growth rate
will continue over the next 15 years. The Purvin & Gertz study also states
that the growth in crude supplies from 60 million barrels per day in 1990 to 75
million barrels in 2005 will continue up to 95 million barrels per day in 2020.
The current growth in transportation fuel demand is outpacing the supply of
traditional crude oil sources.
This gap can
be filled through increased production of non-traditional hydrocarbon deposits,
such as Canadian oil sands, Venezuelan heavy oils. It is apparent that
increasing amounts of petroleum will come from nonconventional sources. Hence
the need for the development of our heavy crude deposits. Therefore, in order
to ensure continuity and orderly development of the industry, the Federal
Government put in place a Petroleum Policy. Prominent among the objectives of
the Policy is the development of the large deposit of tar sands in the country.
The
extensive geological studies carried out largely by the staff of the University
of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) IIe Ife, confirmed the existence of the
natural bitumen in Western Nigeria in commercial quantities. Similarly, the
limited engineering studies of the naturally occurring bitumen in the Okitipupa
area of Ondo State. Also, reference to various reports, newspaper publications
and other information media in Nigeria within the last two decades is a pointer
to the fact that petroleum crude, generally a major source of bitumen, has been
aptly described as Nigeria's "black gold". But can this "black
gold" concept of petroleum crude oil be extended to bitumen? Perhaps the
second phase of Nigeria's economic breakthrough is round the corner!
It is in the
light of the foregoing that the title of this research work has been chosen to
read: "the reserve estimate of Bitumen deposit in Imeri, Southwestern
Nigeria?" to find out if the natural bitumen can be mined in commercial
quantity as a nonconventional petroleum to support Nigeria' s economic sector .
At the end
of this project, we hope to be able to find solution to some pertinent
questions like:
1) What is the meaning of bitumen?
2) What is its reserve estimate of bitumen in
the study area?
3) What is its economic viability?
1.2 AIM AND OBJECTIVE
This project
work aimed at determining:
The reserve
estimate of bitumen deposit in Imeri, Ogun State, South-western Nigeria.
Its
objective is to use this reserve in evaluating its commercial viability.
1.3 SCOPE AND LIMITATION
This project
work covers:
The
determination of the depth of burial, thickness and aerial extend of deposition
of bitumen in the study area.
The
estimation of bitumen reserve using the values gotten from above in the study area.
As a result
of the short duration coupled with financial constraint this project will be
limited to the study area.
1.4 LOCATION AND ACCESIBILITY
The study
area lies within latitude 06046´-06049´N and longitudes 003058´-003060´E, on an
area extent of approximately eighteen square kilometers (~18sq. km), a
sedimentary terrain in the Dahomey Basin of Southwestern, Nigeria. The village
has good road network that link it to the express. (Fig. 1.2)
1.5 RELIEF AND DRAINAGE
Imeri is
almost a flat plain ground with extremely low relief with elevation between
100ft and 250ft above sea level, the drainage pattern is sub-dendrite-like with
an average annual temperature of 310C and mean annual rainfall of 1200mm to
2300mm.
1.6 CLIMATE AND VEGETATION
The climate
of Imeri is of moderately high humidity, the vegetation include shrubs, grasses
and forest with agriculture being the predominant occupation of the dwellers.
1.7 DURATION
This project
work is expected to be done within six (6) months in accordance with the school
calendar and should be ready latest September, 2011.
1.8 JUSTIFICATION
This project
work when completed will boost the nation’s economy by preserving our
conventional oil reserves while attention is focused on bitumen development, if
all the recommendations proposed are implemented.
