dc.description	Nigerian is blessed with an abundance resource of crude oil and its alternatives such oil shale, oil sand, tar, asphaltite, shale gas which can be transformed to increase supply of energy. It has an oil shale deposit of high economic value with the highest concentration in Imo (Okigwe) and Abia states. Other African countries with oil shale include South Africa, Egypt and Madagascar. The oil shale reserve in Nigeria remains untapped because of the large deposit of the conventional oil wells (crude oil). Overland, I. (2016). However, petroleum potentials of Nigeria have not been fully explored, especially hydrocarbon resources in the inland basins. The underutilized basins include Anambra Basin, Benue Trough, Benin Basin, Bida Basin, Borno Basin, Niger Delta Basin and Sokoto Basin (Geologin, 2012). Therefore, there is the need to utilized the use of energy sources in order to meet huge energy demand	en_US
dc.description.abstract	The earth contains large amounts of hydrocarbons that are not contained in what might be called conventional hydrocarbons. With increasing demand for energy both domestically and industrially, a major challenge facing the world, the society is driven to search for alternative energy sources. In this work, oil shale samples were collected from the Bida formation of the Bida Basin, Niger state, Nigeria. Analytical tools such as Rock Eval Pyrolysis, Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Thermographic Analysis (TGA) were used to characterize the sample. From the Pyrolysis results, the Hydrogen Index (HI) was 45.71 mgHC/gTOC, the Production Index (PI), 0.42 and the Tmax, 342 OC. The TOC was 1.40 wt%. From the TGA results, the activation energy of the oil shale was calculated using the Arrhenius equation and found to be 48.40 KJ/Mol, while the pre-exponential factor was 884.025 min-1. Consequently, the oil shale is gas-prone and contains migratory hydrocarbons. Also, the content of organic matter in the sample is good.	en_US
