Exclusive: Geologist explains how his team discovered gas at 1000 feet while searching for water Mr Uche Udechukwu Crescent, the geologist who discovered the gas reserves at Caritas University, Amorji Nike, Enugu has said that more investigations should be done to ascertain the level of the discovery. Mr Udechukwu and his team were drilling water when they discovered gas vaporization. Speaking exclusively to standardobservers.com, he said that according to the survey, no pipeline was laid in the area, adding that the depth upon which the gas was discovered ruled out any possibility that it was a ruptured pipeline. He said: “We were drilling. Our main aim was to get water. A survey was carried out at the campus. The survey report recommended a drill of approximately 400 metres to get water. On getting to three hundred meters, we started experiencing vapour, emissions. “The rig that we were using is a hammer rig, it is air drilling. We thought it was our compressor because sometimes, the air from the compression and the dust vaporise. So when we stopped drilling, we discovered that the vapour was still coming out. We pulled out our drilling stem and by the time we finished pulling, the well caught fire. “Other investigations have not been conducted in respect to the emission of the gas but to me, I am suspecting that it is methane gas”. On whether it is likely a ruptured pipeline, he said “That was what we suspected initially but in that axis, there is no pipeline because, in areas where pipelines are, they usually post signs. “The depth we penetrated, I don’t think they can lay pipelines like 1000 feet because that was the depth where we encountered the vaporisation. We are also supposed to see some particles of the iron and we didn’t”. He said that other investigations should be carried out to determine the exact type of gas that was discovered.

mycar:Government is aware already FG confirms Natural Gas discovery during borehole drilling in Enugu The National Oil Spills Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA) says it has received reports of a gas leak which has engulfed into a fire in Emene, Enugu State. Mr Idris Musa, Director-General of NOSDRA, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the gas leakage was caused by water drilling activities which hit a gas reservoir at Emene in Enugu. Musa, who described the flammable gas discharged as natural gas, said that emergency response efforts were underway to avert a disaster from the incident. “There is a natural gas problem at a borehole drilling point at Caritas University, Emene, Enugu. “In the course of drilling very deep to reach the aquifer, the drilling hit the gas level. “The Chief Executive of Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has been notified. “The Zonal Head of National Emergency Management Agency has secured the assistance of both Federal and State Fire Services “Efforts are ongoing to secure more technical assistance to bring the situation under control,” Musa said. |

ericuzor:1000feet can't be a pipe because in the 90s two Ogoni boys were digging well in their compound with native spade when they got frozen and killed by natural gas at about 60feet. Shell was called and they removed the guys and sealed the place. The next day, they start piping the place, without compensating anyone for the discovery, which attracted the attention of Ken Saro Wiwa over Shell's attitude. My trip to Ogoni 2006 wasn't in vain at all. I learnt a lot of things about this people and their struggles. 3 Likes 1 Share |

ericuzor:The people are the government in democracy... That's why #Endsars actually ended SARS! Ghana some time ago killed their old corrupt political class and today they're prospering. Until Nigerians take power into their hands and remove all the old corrupt politicians like it recently happen in Sri Lanka and Soviet Union, no change can happen in this country. We'll just be going in circles until it happens. Emefiele has killed this country with his wicked policies. He'll be the first person to be attacked should another nationwide protest should occur. That man doesn't know how he's hated in this country with his deadly policies. |
