CHAPTER REPORT AWKA/OWERRI 1. Technical/Business Meeting The Awka/Owerri Chapter organized her first technical/business meeting for the year on Thursday 23rd of March 2023. The Guest Speaker was Olusegun T. Obilaja Head, Specialist Geosciences and Exploration Discipline Lead for Shell, Nigeria, presented a technical paper on the topic: The Synopsis of Exploration Well Failures in the Niger Delta: Risks, Mitigations and False Confidence. Mr. Abiodun Adesanya, FNAPE CEO Degeconek; Former NAPE-President, chaired the meeting. This was a virtual event sponsored by NAPE Awka/Owerri 2. Inauguration of NAPE Student Chapter The Alex Ekwueme Federal UniversityNdufu-Aliki Ikwo (AE- FUNAI)Students' Chapter was inaugurated on Thursday, 18th May, 2023 by the Chairman, NAPE University Assistance Program (UAP), Mr. Philip Ajaebili.In attendance were the NAPE Technical Officer, Miss. Abieyuwa Ogbebor, the Awka/Owerri Chapter (AOC) Coordinator Dr. Princeton Dim with other AOC executive committee members, accompanied by a distinguished NAPE Fellow Prof. A. W. Mode and some NAPE Active members with the president and secretaries of students' Chapters from NAPE Awka/Owerri Chapter.The Representative of the Vice Chancellor, Engr. Dr, Chukwunonye Ezea, the Dean Faculty of Physical Sciences Prof, O.N. Omaka, the HOD of Geology/Geophysics, Dr. O.P. Aghamelu, the Faculty Adviser, Dr. Amobi Ekwe, teaching and non-teaching staff, and a good number of students from the department received the NAPE team. The Awka/Owerri Chapter Coordinator Dr. Princeton Dim delivered a lecture to mark the event, which was titled “Outcrop-based Chapter. Over 120 persons from the industry, academia, ministries, agencies and parastatals participated in the meeting. Below are the key highlights fromthe presentation: Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ Niger Delta is a hub for high oil exploration and exploitation. The study emphasized that there has been changes over time starting from the era of 2D Seismic evaluation to era of 3D Seismic Depth Migration to the era of Sequence Stratigraphy evaluation. The study also unveils that there are six major failure factors along with its common mitigations within the oil and gas industry; Cross fault leakages are a common source of failure in the Niger Delta, particularly in the high Natural Gas Coastal-Deltaic. While deeper sequences tend to have low natural gas with a higher fault sealing capacity, this does not eliminate the rise of fault leakage. Ÿ Well calibrated juxtaposition diagram is a key tool in understanding and assessing level of fault leakage risk. Ÿ Presence (or absence) of DHI is NOT an absolute call on fault sealing risk. Ÿ Niger Delta faults are 4D, hence should be analyzed in the 4 dimension: Throw, Heave, Length, and Active phase. Ÿ Faults reaching base continental with very recent active phase poses greater risk of leakage. Ÿ When working with DHI, avoid Anchor Bias;. The Guest Speaker concluded by admonishing everyone to be careful when working with a DHI in order to avoid Anchor Bias within oil and gas industry. Sequence Stratigraphic Analysis: An Analogue for Subsurface Reservoir Geometry which focused on using outcrop-based sequence stratigraphic analytical methods to gain insight into stratigraphic frameworks and reservoir architectures as seen on well-exposed rock successions. The AE-FUNAI Students' Chapter becomes the 7th Chapter to be inaugurated in the NAPE Awka/Owerri Chapter after, Federal University of Technology, Owerri; Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka; University of Nigeria, Nsukka; Enugu State University of Science and Technology; Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki; and Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University.
