Impact of Drilling Wastes on Surface Water Acidity in South-South Nigeria

This study examined the impact of drilling waste on surface water acidity in South-South Nigeria. The objective of the study was to determine the acidity of drilling wastes contaminated surface water in the region. Drilling waste contaminated surface waters in seven (7) different locations in South-South Nigeria were survey. Surface water samples from the selected locations were collected and analyzed for pH every month for a period of six (6) months (June to November 2017) using a graduated pH meter. Results revealed that the drilling fluid contaminated surface waters were slightly acidic, a …
