The impact of bitumen components on soil and groundwater resources is of environmental
importance. Contaminants' influx into the environment from bitumen components through …

Mass transport complexes often form key elements of petroleum systems, affecting
sedimentary structures, seepage pathways and biodiversity hotspots on the seafloor. Yet …

Naturally occurring bitumen seeps migrating within the shallow subsurface contaminates
soil and groundwater in communities within the eastern segment of the Dahomey Basin in …

Predicting the variability and subsurface distribution of bituminous sand deposits rely
significantly on integrating geophysical techniques such as electrical resistivity mapping with …

Nigerian bituminous tar sands are among the world's largest deposits of bitumen and heavy
oil. They are estimated to contain 38–40 billion barrels of heavy oil and bitumen, spanning …

Abstract The Dahomey Basin, located in southwestern Nigeria, is an energy-rich frontier
basin with sedimentary successions consisting of both (onshore) terrestrial and (offshore) …

There are many historical bridges around the world whose crucial information regarding
their foundations is unknown. Such information is essential for an accurate safety …

In situ bitumen seeps within the shallow subsurface of a section of the coastal Dahomey
basin of southwestern Nigeria act as a geogenic source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons …

This study investigates the depositional setting, transportation mechanism, and provenance
of newly exposed rocks of the Ise Formation in the Eastern Dahomey Basin, southwestern …

Granulometric analysis indicates a prevalence of coarse-to very coarse-grained sediments,
suggesting high-energy transportation, likely by river channels and longshore drift …
