This article discusses modern trends in the development of mathematics teaching methods. The activation of educational and research activities of schoolchildren is impossible without the formation of a positive attitude towards this type of activity. Project work can be a collective work on the implementation of the solution of any issue. The advantage of this technique is the development of communication skills, increasing independence. While working on the project, students themselves solve the problem and draw up a plan for solving it, and in the course of implementing this plan, everyone gets their own role and forms their own point of view.

The environments of deposition play a vital role during hydrocarbon formation, migration, trapping and storage. Since the reservoir rocks are a function of their depositional environments, the successful tapping of hydrocarbon from its host rock when wells are drilled depends largely on the petrophysical characteristics of the reservoir rocks which in turn originated from and are influenced by their depositional environment. The reservoir facies in Niger Delta shows a broad range of characteristic sedimentological complexities that gave rise to subsurface geological, drilling and production problems occurring in UK Field. The problems include inaccurate determination of environments of deposition, imperfect stratigraphic correlations and reservoir top uncertainty across the UK Field which are targeted by this research in other to help resolve these challenges facing oil and gas industries in the Niger Delta basin of Nigeria. The research findings will assist in the evaluation of depositional environments and well-to-well lithologic correlation within the UK Field and Niger Delta Basin at large. It will also help to unravel major causes of reservoir top uncertainty in UK Field. Also, it will help in future planning and drilling of new wells within UK Field. The determination of the depositional environments of UK Field reservoir sands were carried out to determine the depositional environment of reservoir sand bodies based on data from seven (7) wells. The determination of depositional environments of sand facies penetrated by wells UK1, UK2, UK3, UK4, UK5, UK6 and UK8 was achieved through a side-by-side comparison of their log suites to standard log motifs. Results of facies analysis showed that the reservoir sands belong to mostly (i) fluvial channel, (ii) barrier bar, (iii) lower-middle shoreface, (iv) distributary mouth bar, (v) distributary channel, (vi) point bar and (vii) tidal channel environments that belonged to parts of a deltaic system. Lithologic correlation result reveals the existence of good correlation among all wells in UK Field due to good geological similarities except well UK8 that failed to correlate perfectly with others thereby establishing the existence of reservoir top uncertainty within UK Field. Therefore, reservoir top uncertainty within UK Field is geologically controlled.
