Full textAbstract:
In the recent past, the oil and gas upstream sector was faced with challenges of fall in revenue due to fall in crude oil prices and the continuous increase in costs of finding and lifting oil. The expectations of business stakeholders are high on the operators. The research was designed to examine Impact of cost reduction techniques on business stakeholders in the Nigerian upstream hydrocarbon sector. The objectives of the research were achieved using a quantitative method. A survey was conducted on 7 randomly sampled oil service companies in the Nigerian upstream sector: A total of 70 questionnaires were sent by mail to the responded and 60 responded representing 86% response rate. The responses elicited were analysed using Chi-Square test method of data analysis. The study revealed that there was no statistical evidence that cost reduction measures used by oil and gas companies operating in the Nigeria upstream sector has any significant impact on business stakeholders.

Full textAbstract:
The Hadejia-Nguru wetlands in north-east Nigeria are of international importance for resident and migratory Anatidae but the construction of large dams upstream seriously threatens their continued existence. An analysis of waterfowl census data collected over the period 1988 to 1998 inclusive demonstrated that the extent of flooding had no effect on the species richness of waterfowl but had a significant impact on total numbers. White-faced Whistling Duck Dendrocygna viduata and Garganey Anas querquedula in particular respond to changes in flood extent. The present practice of releasing water from upstream reservoirs should therefore be continued.

Full textAbstract:
This study addressed the complexities in decision-making on personnel policies and practices in the Multinational companies. The purpose was to examine the influence of human resource practices on outcome of autonomy and control in the selected Upstream Multinational oil companies in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted a field survey research method with validated and tested reliable instruments, the questionnaire and the interview. The Cronbach’s alpha reliability test of all variables indicated (.876) above the recommended (0.7) cut off point of high reliability statistics. A Random Sampling Technique was adopted for selection of 5 (25.4%) of 22 companies in the Upstream Multinational oil sector as sample population while a total of 300 randomly selected research subjects represented respondents of the present study. The Chi-Square (X2) Test, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and the Regression Analysis were statistical tools used with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to test hypotheses. Findings revealed among others that influence of staff resourcing is more on outcome of autonomy and control in the subsidiaries; that when the influence of staff resourcing increases or is extensively established at the headquarters, it’s influence on outcome of autonomy and control also increases in the subsidiaries; that there is a significant direct relationship between outcome of autonomy and control and HR practice(s) which implies that when autonomy increases as a result of a corresponding increase in extensively established HR practice(s), employees gain more satisfaction on the job whereas, when control increases as a result of a corresponding increase in control strategies in HR practices, employees gain less satisfaction on the job. It was however concluded among others that a new policy redirection that is people- oriented be adopted to ensure more employee autonomy and less control in the Upstream MNC subsidiaries in Nigeria.

Full textAbstract:
Assessment of the physicochemical characteristics and some heavy metals of Ossiomo River, Ologbo- a tributary of Benin River, Southern Nigeria was carried out from April 2012 to December 2012. Three stations were studied from upstream to downstream with a distance of about 2 kilometres between each station. A total of twenty-two (22) physicochemical parameters and some heavy metals were studied. Air temperature ranged from the mean 27.01 to 29.57°C, water temperature 25.87 to 27.56°C, depth 1.32 to 1.705m, flow velocity 0.08 to 0.13m/s, transparency 1.01 to 1.30m, pH 5.76 to 6.01, electrical conductivity 62.03 to 70.11μS/cm, turbidity 3.97 to 4.39 NTU, total suspended solid 5.01 to 5.80mg/l, total solid 38.82 to 42.11mg/l, total dissolve solid 29.60 to 33.84mg/l, DO 7.12 to 7.54mg/l, BOD5 1.51 to 2.60mg/l, alkalinity 48.63 to 53.28mg/l, the cations (sodium 1.35 to 1.43mg/l, potassium 0.25 to 0.26mg/l, calcium 0.92 to 1.00mg/l, magnesium 0.44 to 0.52mg/l), chloride 26.44 to 36.39mg/l, and the nutrient components (phosphorus 0.25 to 0.33mg/l, nitrate 0.16 to 0.20 mg/l, sulphate 0.88 to 0.94mg/l). Heavy metals level were generally low ranging from 0.05 to 2.61mg/l (cadmium 0.05 to 0.51mg/l, lead 0.06 to 0.09mg/l, zinc 0.11 to 0.12mg/l, copper 0.39 to 0.41mg/l, iron 2.00 to 2.61mg/l. Mean across stations were compared using Analysis of Variance and only three characteristics namely, air temperature, water temperature and flow velocity were significant. In station 1 (upstream), air temperature and water temperature were significantly higher than other 2 stations (downstream) while the flow velocity was significantly faster in station 3 than both upstream and midstream stations. A marked seasonal significant faster flow velocity was recorded in the wet than in the dry season. Furthermore, a significant (P < 0.05) pattern of seasonal variation was observed in seven (7) characteristics, total solids, calcium, magnesium, chloride, phosphate, nitrate and sulphate. Anthropogenic activities had negatively impacted on station 2 of the river, although the recorded values were still within acceptable limits.Keywords: Physicochemical, Characteristics, Ossiomo River, Assessment, Heavy metals, Ologbo

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the barriers inhibiting horticulture product export from Nigeria, particularly to the UK, and identify those requiring resolution if global horticulture value chains (GHVCs) are to contribute to economic growth in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach A single-case (embedded) research design was adopted. In total, 26 participants from five stakeholder groups (namely, farmers, exporters, air freight forwarders, aviation operators and government institutions) were selected for investigation to examine the research problem. Findings The empirical investigation showed that: the existing institutional framework, infrastructure and logistics issues, market penetration issues, stakeholders’ incompetence, food safety and quality issues, high transaction costs, operational challenges of exporting, neglect of agriculture and the existing airline market structure are prominent barriers that require resolution if horticultural product exports are to increase. Research limitations/implications The study focuses on the analysis of five key stakeholder groups upstream in the supply chain. Further investigation should include stakeholders downstream (importers, wholesalers and retailers). Originality/value The specific case study of horticultural product export from Nigeria offers empirically rich insights into the barriers hindering the participation of Nigeria in GHVCs.

The continuous input of petroleum-based and other industrial pollutants along with heightened navigational activities in the inland and coastal waters of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria has contributed tremendously towards petroleum pollution of the aquatic environment. Standard analytical methods were employed in sample collection and analysis. The results showed the mean values of Total Heterotrophic Bacteria [THB] for tidal water 1.44±0.20 (x107), 1.42±0.62 (x107)and 1.82±0.61 (x107)for upstream, midstream and downstream respectively, while the mean values for CUB 1.06±0.12 (x106), 1.30±0.54 (x106) and 1.28±0.46 (x106) for upstream, midstream and downstream respectively. Similarly, the mean values for Total Fungi (TF) and Crude oil-Utilizing Fungi (CUF) were 1.08±0.12 (x106), 1.12±0.21 (x106), 1.18±0.20 (x106) and 8.2±0.78 (x104), 9.2±0.20 (x104), 8.8±0.26 (x104) for upstream, midstream and downstream respectively. For intertidal water, the mean values obtained for upstream, midstream and downstream were 1.24±0.82 (x107), 1.77±0.57 (x107) and 1.40±0.32 (x107) for THB, 1.08±0.92 (x106), 1.08±0.22 (x106) and1.13±0.21 (x106) for CUB, 1.00±0.60 (x107), 1.26±0.30 (x106) and 1.11±0.18 (x106) for Total fungi [TF] and 7.2±0.81 (x104), 9.6±0.4 (x104), 9.0±0.27 (x104) for CUF). While the values for benthic sediment were 1.55±0.38 (x108), 1.68±0.32 (x108), 2.24±0.34 (x108) for THB, 1.14±0.32 (x107), 1.24±0.88 (x107), 1.48±0.90 (x107) for CUB, 1.12±0.31 (x107), 1.20±0.52 (x107), 1.40±0.16 (x107) for TF and 8.2±0.12 (x105), 6.2±0.43 (x105), 1.01±0.12 (x106) for CUF. The results showed that there was no significant difference (p> 0.05) in the mean values of each physicochemical parameter across the different microhabitats and stations. This result revealed the massive impacts of anthropogenic gradients on the biology and physicochemistry of Iko River estuary.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Recent developments in the electricity generation sector of Nigeria necessitated the re-assessment of its contribution to air emission level in the country as information provided by previous inventory is nearly out-of-date. The purpose of this paper is to quantify the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions generated from existing thermal power plants in the country. Design/methodology/approach Thermal power plants in Nigeria and their installed capacities were identified, and estimation of CO2 emission from each of the plants was carried out using the emission factor method. In addition to the direct emissions generated through the combustion operation of the power plants, indirect emissions resulting from upstream activities such as extraction, production, and transportation of fuels consumed by the thermal power plant was determined using the same method. Findings In total, 40 thermal power plants are currently operational in Nigeria. Additional 18 thermal plants are at different stages of completion. The operational thermal plants have average generation output of 40 percent of their installed capacity and produce 87.3 million metric tonne (mmt)/annum CO2 emissions. In total, 66.9 percent of the estimated emissions are direct emissions, i.e. fuel combustion emissions; the rest are indirect emissions. Additional 67.9 mmt was estimated as expected overall emissions from the thermal power plants under construction. Considering the global warming potential of CO2, proactive measures must be taken to regulate its emissions from the country’s thermal power plants. Originality/value This paper bridged the information gap existing in the emission inventory from the Nigeria electricity sector by providing up-to-date data on the contribution of the sector to greenhouse gas emission level in the country.

Biological assessment is a useful alternative for understanding the ecological quality of aquatic ecosystems because biological communities integrate the environmental effects of water. This work investigates the diversity and abundance of phytoplankton in the Upper Jebba Basin of the Niger River in Nigeria. We sampled phytoplanktons by dragging plankton nets at three stations from March to May 2015 for qualitative and quantitative samples. Qualitative plankton samples were collected by towing 55μm mesh hydrobios plankton nets just below the water surface for five minutes at each sampling station. Quantitative samples, on the other hand, were collected by filtering 100 litres of water fetched with a bucket through a 55μm mesh hydrobios net. Both samples were preserved separately in a 4% buffered formalin solution. A total of 3160 cells/ml of phytoplanktons from taxa were identified in the study. High dominance of Oscillatoria sp., Microcystis sp., Chlorella sp., Pediastrum sp. and Synendra indicate that this lake has high amount of organic waste, polluted predominantly by upstream concerns (i.e., mining, agricultural, and domestic) and should be monitored strictly by relevant agencies in order to additional reduced health hazards caused by these pollutants.HYDRO Nepal JournalJournal of Water, Energy and EnvironmentIssue: 19Page: 52-56

Full textAbstract:
Asu River is one of the major tributaries of Cross River, a tropical reforest river in southeast Nigeria. The climate of the region is divided into the wet and dry seasons. Human activities such as fishing, bathing and washing go on in the river especially during the dry season. Farming also takes place at the fringes of the river. Some important physicochemical parameters of the river were investigated at two designated sites comprising the downstream and the upstream for nine (9) months, from October, 2013 to June, 2014. Temperature, carbon (iv) oxide, conductivity, total dissolved solids, nitrate and phosphate recorded maximum values during the dry season while dissolved oxygen and pH recorded maximum values in the wet season. The physicochemical variables evaluated showed that the river is not in a critical condition as most of the variables recorded are within the WHO permissible limit. However, the paper therefore recommends the need for public enlightenment on environmental management and control of household and industrial wastes in order to sustain the usefulness of Asu River.

Full textAbstract:
Untreated (or partially treated) effluents are capable of polluting a receiving water body. An environmental audit of the Benin river adjacent to a lubricating oil producing factory was carried out. Dry and rainy seasons effluent and water samples were collected for two years (water samples from seven sampling stations i.e. two upstream and five downstream). Physicochemical variables (including oil variables) were analyzed by standard methods and toxic metals by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Important results include Oil and Grease (2270±480 µgl-1), total petroleum hydrocarbon (2010±340 µgl-1), Pb (146±55 µgl-1), Ni (1880±630 µgl-1) and pH (6.02±0.09). Some of these variables and metals exceeded guidelines values for drinking water quality. Water is polluted and needs to be rigorously treated before use for drinking purpose.

<em>Abstract.</em>—The Wisconsin River is a lowland warmwater river located entirely within the state of Wisconsin. It is the largest river within the state, with a length of 676 km, a drainage basin of 31,800 km<sup>2</sup>, and an estimated mean annual flow at the mouth of 292 m<sup>3</sup>/s. The middle part of the river has been heavily modified by dams and pollution, but the lower portion is relatively nondegraded. A total of 110 native fish species have been recorded from the river, a high number for the upper Mississippi River basin. Only two alien species occur and only one, common carp <em>Cyprinus carpio</em>, is common. Five stateendangered, five state-threatened, and 10 state-special-concern (=vulnerable) fishes are known from the river. Populations of the endangered black redhorse <em>Moxostoma duquesnei</em>, threatened paddlefish <em>Polyodon spathula</em>, blue sucker <em>Cycleptus elongatus</em>, black buffalo <em>Ictiobus niger</em>, and vulnerable western sand darter <em>Ammocrypta clara </em>in the Wisconsin River are among the largest in the state for these species. Historical data are scarce, but it appears that no fish species have been eliminated from the river. However, several species have been extirpated from discrete reaches of the river. Fish species richness decreases from mouth to headwaters, but reach-specific fish assemblage structure and composition and biotic integrity vary in a more complex pattern, most likely as a consequence of habitat fragmentation and isolation by dams and industrial and municipal pollution. In particular, the Prairie du Sac Dam, lowermost on the river, prevents upstream fish movement and causes a sharp drop in species richness and biotic integrity upstream.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The study sought to assess Investment in Ghana Upstream Sector, looking at the risk involved in the loss of Investment and the returns from the investment. The specific objectives were: to establish the level of investment in the oil and gas projects that are producing in commercial volumes in the Upstream sector of Ghana, to assess the revenues realized by Ghana and the IOCs from the sale of oil and gas since the start of commercial production in the year 2010. The researchers noticed that investors in the upstream sector face risk such as: price volatility risk, political risk, investment risk, and many other risks that affect the upstream operations. For the purposes of this study, risk is limited to investment risk. Thus, the researchers are looking at the level of investment in the upstream sector and whether the investment has any relation with the returns or revenues. A purposeful sampling technique was used to select the three commercial producing fields in Ghana for the Study. These are the Jubilee field, the TEN field, and the SGN field. Secondary data including oil and gas production volumes was taken from the annual reports of PIAC. Other secondary data was taken from Petroleum Commission, and Ministry of Finance. The results of the study showed that a total of about 8.8 billion US dollars was invested in the Jubilee field. About 4.998 billion US dollars and 5.2 billion US dollars was invested in TEN and SGN fields respectively. This means a total of about 19 billion US dollars was invested in the exploration and development of the three producing fields in Ghana. The results also indicated that despite all the risk in the upstream sector, about 22.69 billion US dollars revenues has been realized by the IOCs from the sale of oil and gas since the commencement of production in the year 2010. The results also showed that Ghana group realized about 4.98 billion US dollars from the revenues of oil and gas over the same period.
