      abstract = {An experimental approach was used in this study to investigate the effect of chemical soil consolidation using organosilane on some selected sand grains collected from different oil wells. To obtain and evaluate the compressive strength, porosity and permeability of soil samples collected from the three (3) different oil well after they have been chemically consolidated using three (3) different mass concentration of 3g/L, 6g/L and 9g/L of organosilane samples. Three (3) pentagon molds from each of the oil wells was respectively injected with the selected mass concentration of organosilane on all five-sides and on the center for proper and even distribution of the organosilane within the mold, the chemically injected sand samples were then allowed to properly consolidate before been subjected to characterization for compressive strength, porosity and permeability. Results obtained shows an enormous increase in compressive strength for all the consolidated soil samples obtained from various depth of the oil well. Results further reveal the adverse effect of the chemically consolidated agent on the various sand samples.},
