Geologic History and Petroleum Systems of the Eastern Deepwater Niger Delta Michael J Roberts , ChevronTexaco Energy Technology Company, Bellaire, TX 77479 , phone: 713-432-2030, mrob@chevrontexaco.com The Eastern Deepwater Niger Delta is bounded laterally by the Cretaceous age Charcot seamount trend on the west and the early Miocene Cameroon Volcanic Chain on the east. The region is partitioned into major strike parallel belts reflecting the structural growth history and fill sequence of the basin. Immediately outboard of the present day shelf edge, a late Oligocene to early Miocene fold and thrust belt is observed. This paleo fold belt marks the basinward limit of structuring during this time. Turbidite deposition was strongly influenced by the growing structural front while outboard of the fold belt, unconfined sedimentation occurred. These distal early Miocene sediments are observed however, to onlap the emergent Charcot volcanic peaks toward the west. On the east, active uplift and emplacement of the northeast trending Cameroon chain created a counter regional dip gradient which served to divert sedimentation patterns toward the southwest. At the end of middle Miocene time (~10 ma), the structural limit of the basin shifted abruptly southward, coincident with a major ramp in the basal detachment surface and the development of the outer toe-thrust belt which structured the earlier deposited unconfined turbidites. The eastern margin of the basin developed a strong left-lateral strike slip component as the advancing structural front impinged on the uplifted Cameroon chain. From late Miocene to Recent, the region has experienced structural readjustment and strongly confined depositional patterns. Maturity modeling has demonstrated a basinward sweep of the oil window within the early Tertiary source rock interval during this time.

Haack , Louise Linden , and Joshua Adubiobi (1) Chevron Nigeria Limited, Lagos, Nigeria, phone: 266-8562, vony@chevrontexaco.com, (2) ChevronTexaco, San Ramon, CA 94583 Integration of 3D seismic and well-log data, high resolution biostratigraphy and geochemical indicators provides an understanding of the geological processes that dominated the formation of the northwestern arm of the Niger Delta basin. Through time, rapid subsidence has been prevalent and a variety of structural and stratigraphic styles have developed. Over twenty sequence boundaries and chronostratigraphic surfaces have been mapped across the northwestern flank of the Niger Delta, a number of which have been tied to the Global Cycle Chart of Haq et al. (1987). The incision history from the late Oligocene (25.5Ma) to the Pliocene (3.0Ma) has been developed to highlight extent and rates of erosion in this part of the Delta. Shelf edge maps demonstrate the distribution of slope failures through geological time, and transects constructed across the area from different vantage points reveal transitions from shelf to slope facies. Important outcomes of this regional study include: 1) the ability to predict sand fairways in the northwestern Niger Delta and beyond, 2) correlation of reservoir sands within and among oil fields in the area, 3) recognition of prospective new sand-rich intervals in unexploited areas near developed fields and facilities, 4) and finally, development of a chronostratigraphic chart which is applicable to a large portion of the western Niger Delta.

Consequently, the exploitation and protection of oil deposits and of distribution infrastructure (including about 5,500 kilometers of pipelines), concentrated offshore in the southeast, were inextricably linked to national security. Nigeria's recognition of this vulnerability was magnified by its conflict with Cameroon over contested offshore oil rights. On the other hand, Nigeria could and did use its "oil weapon" against Ghana, Chad, and European companies by cutting off oil supplies to induce compliance with its demands. Nigeria's 853-kilometer irregular coastline boasted several major port complexes. Such seaward assets served to justify the notable expansion of Nigeria's naval capabilities (see fig. 13

The French conquerors of the Soudan were struck by the omnipresence of cotton. Most peasants cultivated some cotton and most cloth was woven locally. Nevertheless, the areas where the textile industry were centred were not ideal areas for cotton production and could not compete with areas like the United States or Egypt. Rainfall was too irregular and the season was too short. Yields were too low. The French also were divided deeply on how to proceed. One group wanted irrigation and European-controlled plantations. Another had more faith in the market and peasant production. The latter group soon looked to the better-watered southern tier of the Soudan, which today produces most of Mali's cotton exports.

Introduction The devastating armed conflict in Liberia had a strong influence on the surrounding region in 1994 and remained inextricably linked to the generalized violence and insecurity that prevailed in neighbouring Sierra Leone. The tribal make-up of the region, the shared supply routes through dense rain forests, a multitude of shifting political allegiances, a common economy based on precious stones and minerals, and an intricate mafia-style web of cross-border trade were the principal factors linking the whole region, especially the area from eastern Sierra Leone through the forest region of Guinea and into Liberia. The tragic result of this volatile situation was that the entire region was submerged in an atmosphere of extreme violence and terror. In the Sierra Leone/Guinea/Liberia triangle the civilian population lived in a permanent state of fear, the authorities held no sway whatsoever and international humanitarian organizations were unable to work. In August 1993 two ICRC nurses were brutally executed in south-eastern Sierra Leone. From that point on, and through the whole of 1994, relief activities remained suspended, as the danger of entering territory where no authority was apparently in control and where foreigners were seen as a threat was too great. This situation placed the ICRC in a dilemma, as there were hundreds of thousands of civilians in the area in dire need of protection and assistance.

Trading Game Backgrounders History of Globalization by Matthew J. Rippon What is globalization? - Before we can look at the history of globalization, we first have to consider what it is: "Amazingly for so widely used a term [globalization], there does not appear to be any precise, widely-agreed definition. Indeed the breadth of meanings attached to it seems to be increasing rather than narrowing over time, taking on cultural, political, and other connotations in addition to the economic,” says the World Bank.[1] Tomas Larsson comments that globalization, “is the process of world shrinkage, of distances getting shorter, things moving closer. It pertains to the increasing ease with which somebody on one side of the world can interact, to mutual benefit, with somebody on the other side of the world.”[2] Over many millennia, there has been a dramatic rise in cross-border trading of goods, people, ideas, and cultures. The rise in international trade in terms of imports and exports, multinationals, and specialization, combined with comparative advantage, are indicators of an increasingly global economy. Although definitions of globalization range from too broad to too narrow, it is enough to know that globalization and increasing interconnectedness of exchange, customs, laws, and politics are related in order to embark upon a study of globalization's history.

Substance and Origins: Since the dawn of history, Imazighen have been the indigenous inhabitants of North Africa, their territory stretching from Egypt to Mauritania and from the Mediterranean to the boundaries of historic sub-Saharan Black Africa. Various empires and peoples have conquered portions of historic Tamazgha , beginning with the Phoenicians and Greeks and continuing through the Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Turks, French, British, Spanish, and Italians. Imazighen have been subjected to various religious beliefs: their own early pantheistic concepts; the polytheistic dogmas of the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans; and monotheistic Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Since the 13th century, most Imazighen have professed the Islamic faith and Islam has sunk most deeply into their psyches. Throughout their history, the Imazighen have always had their heroes or heroines who have defended their ancestral homeland but then succumbed to the superior "civilization" might of their conquerors. In 814 B.C., for example, Amazigh chief Larbas negotiated a deal to marry Princess Dido, daughter of the King of Tyre, in return for a small piece of real estate that eventually became Qart Hadasht (i.e., the New City, or Carthage). King Juba and king Massinissa intrigued with the Romans against the Carthaginians. Royal prince Jugurtha learned Roman fighting techniques and then led a formidable rebellion from 106 to 104 B.C. according to the Roman historian Sallust's account of the Jugurthine War.

Niger is ranked as the second-poorest country in the world. More than a third of the population, about 3.5 million people, are experiencing a dramatic crisis as a result of food shortages in 2005. The deficit is heavily concentrated in the poorest, most food insecure and vulnerable departments in the agro-pastoral regions of Tillab©ri, Tahoua, Maradi, Diffa, Agadez, Zinder and Gaya. It is estimated that 800,000 under-five children are suffering from hunger, with at least 60,000 moderately malnourished and 32,000 severely malnourished. Similar, but less severe, threats are reported to be affecting people in Mali and Mauritania. Most families in Niger support themselves through subsistence farming and typically grow enough food to cover the interval from one harvest to the next. Even in the best agricultural years, food insecurity is widespread. 40% of children are underweight. In Niger, life expectancy for men and women is 46 years. The health system is under-resourced: more than half of the population restricted access to health services and less than half of the people have access to potable water.

This is the second worst food crisis in Niger's history Dozens of villages have been abandoned as their hungry former residents go to towns or neighbouring countries, such as Benin or Nigeria in search of food. "The situation is terrible," said Abdoulye Adamou, who has come to the city of Tahoua. "We have no food and our cattle are dying in front of our eyes because of a shortage of water and food." He said that the government food supplied at reduced cost was not only insufficient, but too expensive for a poor farmer living on less than $1 per day. Poor rains and locust invasions last year devastated the farms leaving behind only desolate, charcoal grey hot sand.

40. Climate And Malaria In Niger IRI regional program project Africa. document the spatial and temporal history of clinical malaria in niger over the last 20 years and compare these http://iri.columbia.edu/africa/project/MalariaNiger/

Home Africa Projects Climate and Malaria, Niger Title Climate and Malaria in Niger Overview Mapping malaria endemicity across West Africa is an important contribution to the rational development of control strategies across the region. In the malaria distribution map for West Africa developed through the MARA project no data for Niger was available to contribute to the analysis (Kleinschmidt, Omumbo et al. 2001). Like other Sahelian countries Niger, has experienced a dramatic decline in rainfall (20-30%) over the last 40 years. However, knowledge of current malaria endemicity in Niger is limited (Julvez, Develoux et al. 1992; Julvez, Mouchet et al. 1997) and research efforts are required to not only assess the details of the recent history of malaria in Niger and its current status but to predict what may happen given various future climate scenarios. Passive surveillance of clinical cases is recorded on a trimestrial basis through the Health Information System. Over-diagnosis of cases, particularly through the intense dry season, is known to be high. The malaria transmission will be quantified with both entomological and parasitological parameters. This will allow the vision of the two sides, vectorial and human of the malaria cycle.
