Journal Article
ABDULLAHI, D., SURESH, S., RENUKAPPA, S. and OLOKE, D. 2017. Key barriers to the implementation of solar energy in Nigeria: a critical analysis. IOP conference series: earth and environmental science [online], 83(1): proceedings of the 2nd International conference on green energy technology (ICGET 2017), 18-20 July 2017, Rome, Italy, article 012015. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/83/1/012015

Nigeria, potentially, has abundant sunshine throughout the year, making it full thirst for solar energy generation. Even though, the country's solar energy projects have not realised a fair result over the years, due to many barriers associated with...

An artificial lift selection approach using machine learning: a case study in Sudan. (2023)
Journal Article
MAHDI, M.A.A., AMISH, M. and OLUYEMI, G. 2023. An artificial lift selection approach using machine learning: a case study in Sudan. Energies [online], 16(6), article number 2853. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3390/en16062853

This article presents a machine learning (ML) application to examine artificial lift (AL) selection, using only field production datasets from a Sudanese oil field. Five ML algorithms were used to develop a selection model, and the results demonstrat... Read More about An artificial lift selection approach using machine learning: a case study in Sudan..
