Title A name given to the resource EVALUATION OF GAS FLARING IN OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY; CASE STUDY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES IN NIGER DELTA REGION, NIGERIA. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Arinze Okafor Description An account of the resource The purpose of this research is to evaluate gas flaring in the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry by focusing on the Nigerian Department of Petroleum Resource in the Niger Delta Region. To attain this, a literature review was conducted followed by a quantitative survey. The survey assessed the view of 115 respondents from the department in three states (Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta) of the Niger Delta Region. One sample t-Test analysis conducted showed significance value obtained as 0.000 (which can also be interpreted as 0.0005) for all the variables in this study, and it is lower than the standard alpha value of 0.05 (p 0.0005 < 0.05). Therefore, it is proven that: gas flaring is a serious and current issue in the Nigerian oil and gas sector; gas flaring impacts the Nigerian economy and environment negatively; measures have already been implemented by the Nigerian government to address this issues but the measures are somewhat limiting; the DPR is making conscientious efforts towards reducing and potentially eliminating gas flaring in the Nigerian shore, and more efforts need to be put in place in the form of extra measures for addressing the issue of gas flaring in the country. It was recommended that while Nigeria has made conscientious efforts towards attaining the zero-emission targets, the present situation doesn’t suggest the feasibility of this target and more efforts should be applied. In conclusion, further studies were recommended to cover the entire Nigerian sphere instead of focusing on the Niger Delta Region and to evaluate more variables aside from the ones evaluated in this present study.

Title A name given to the resource ANALYSIS OF FIBRE OPTIC SYSTEM FAILURES IN THE NETWORKS OF VODAFONE GHANA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Atebawone Description An account of the resource The Optical fiber communication system in telecommunication transmission networks has enormous characteristics such as very high bandwidth, security and speed over the traditional systems such as microwave especially in the backhaul and front haul. Although mobile network operators have significantly invested in their transmission network using fiber optic infrastructure to replace the traditional systems, there has been an increase in the number of network outages in fiber optics networks such as fiber cable and components failures. This research work was carried out using Vodafone Ghana Ltd optical network infrastructure as a case study to investigate and analyze causes of failures in fiber optic systems. The research design is explanatory, a pragmatic approach, where the initial quantitative data results were further explained with a qualitative study. Interview guide used to obtain the qualitative data and a questionnaire used for the quantitative data from the technical teams responsible for maintaining the optical network across the country and have the technical expertise of operating and maintaining the optical network. The study established there are major and minor causes of fibers optic systems failures. The major failures are constructions/excavating/digging activities, broken core issues, messy joint box faults and rodents/terminate activities. While bush burning, weeding/farming, vandalism, sand winning, faulty splitter, aerial cable damage, cable theft, rains/flooding, kink, degraded core, patch cord issues and faulty module are minor causes. The study further established that it’s due to internal factors such as no due diligence in deployment of fibers systems leading to cables been exposed or shallow buried, leaving dugout not correctly covered, exposed fiber cabinets too natural phenomenon such as rains/floods/terminates, and virtually no routine preventive maintenance. Although, this study acknowledges that there is the need for external stakeholder consultation in addressing one of the major issues such as the activities of the contractors, this study is of the view that considering root causes of the both the major and minor issues, internal stakeholder is much needed in this regard.
