Resilience and Operational Sustainability of Oil Companies in Port Harcourt
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCED RESEARCH IN PETROLEUM TECHNOLOGY & MANAGEMENT - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
We, in this paper, investigated the relationship between resilience and operational sustainability in the oil companies in Port Harcourt. The study adopted the cross-sectional survey research method and a quantitative methodology in its analysis of the distribution and relationship between the variables within the specified context of the study. The study engaged data generated from 207 employees in the oil companies; both descriptive and inferential statistical methods were adopted in the assessment of the manifestations and relationship between the variables. Empirical findings reveal that there is a positive significant relationship between resilience and quality and timeliness which measures operational sustainability. We recommended that resilience as expressed is needed for employees to activate their steadfastness to work goals irrespective of the challenges associated; and that behavior channeling and modification schemes that nurture positive psychological behavior amongst work members should be encouraged

Resolving Field Development & Management Challenges in Large Heterogenous Reservoirs Using Segment Models
Characterizing and modeling flow-critical features continues to pose significant challenge for reservoir description, modeling and performance prediction especially in large heterogeneous reservoirs. The level of details...
Compositional Simulation of the Effect of Water Injection on Gas Condensate Reservoir Performance
It is well recognized that the liquid dropout in the reservoir from a gas condensate reservoir below dew point pressure does not only reduce the ultimate recovery of gas, but can also reduce the gas well deliverability....
Waterflooding in Niger Delta Oil Reservoir Systems: Concept and Analysis
This research work looked at the concept and analysis of waterflooding as a means of enhancing oil production at commercial scale from oil reservoirs in the Niger Delta, south of Nigeria. It covers the linear flow profil...
Economic Analysis of Oil Rim Reservoir Development in the Niger Delta
A generic oil rim simulation was carried out to deepen the understanding of the oil rim recovery mechanism under two development options: natural depletion and water injection. A horizontal well of 1800 ft. length was us...
