Challenges and Prospects of the Use of Horizontal Directional Drilling Techniques for Laying Oil and Gas Pipelines in Nigeria
Abstract: Nigeria pipelines, especially the petroleum and petroleum product pipelines are always vandalized by the sabotage. Huge amount of money is expended to put the damaged pipeline in good shape; and petroleum and petroleum product transfer is sometimes hampered due to leakages and damages caused by the oil thieves. Also huge money is being budgeted yearly to secure the pipelines. To combat this problem, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is being proposed. …

An Oil and Gas Retrofitted Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage Value Chain: A Green Industry
Abstract: Fossil fuel consumption continues to be crucial to industrialisation. It has continued to contribute to over 80% of the world’s total primary energy production for the past three decades. The primary cause of climate change, however, has been identified to be the rising greenhouse gases emission from the use of fossil fuels. Hence, a proposed solution to this is to switch to greener, lower-carbon energy sources. Despite growing concern over …

Analysis of Tall Structures for Different Stiffness Ratios of Columns to Shear Walls and Column Shortening
Abstract: Differential axial shortening in a structure causes axial force redistribution among columns and walls, and introduces additional forces in the horizontal members such as beams and slab. Hence, it needs to be considered in the design, especially for medium to high-rise buildings. The best way to illustrate differential column shortening is to conduct floor-by-floor analysis, generally known as construction sequence analysis. Commercial software ETABS is available for conducting sequential analysis. …
