Oil spillage in Nigeria after independence. In 1961, Shell opened its terminal, which extracted crude oil in Nigeria. Many companies such as Elf, Texaco, Golf, Mobile, and some others were involved at this point. The Oil companies created profitable alliances, set rates and even formed laws that the participants of the oil market today still make use of. But one long-running hotbed of political violence, Nigeria’s oil-producing Niger Delta, has garnered only a modest amount media attention. Maybe it’s because the conflict between anti-oil insurgents and the government has gone on for so long, some 20 years, Causes of Oil-Spillage in Nigeria. Natural Causes: Oil spills occur naturally by natural disaster, movement of tectonic plates and also as a result of inadequate trap system. Oil spill can be caused by natural seepage, especially in the ocean, as tectonic plates shift, they may release oil from reserves trapped deep such as drilling beneath the ocean floor. Nigeria is the largest producer of sweet oil in OPEC. The sweet oil is similar in composition to the petroleum extracted from the North Sea. This crude oil is known as “Bonny light”. Other crude oil types found in Nigeria named after their export terminals are Qua Iboe, Escravos Blend, Brass River, Forcados and Pennington Anfani” . Chapter A. Tertiary Niger Delta (Akata-Agbada) Petroleum System (No. 701901 Nigeria was the fifth largest crude oil supplier to the United States, supplying 689,000 barrels/day of crude.

Origin and occurrence of crude oil in the Niger delta, Nigeria Read "Origin and occurrence of crude oil in the Niger delta, Nigeria, Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering" on DeepDyve, the largest online rental service for scholarly research with thousands of academic publications available at your fingertips. Currently, Nigeria is the largest oil producer in Africa and the production of petroleum in the country plays a dominant role in the economy with over 90% of gross earnings coming from crude oil. In 2010, Nigeria provided about 10% of overall U.S. oil imports and ranked as the fifth-largest source for oil imports in the U.S. In June 1956, Shell-BP discovered oil in the Oloibiri community. Now this territory is in Bayelsa. From that day the history of crude oil in Nigeria was made. That was still four years before Nigeria gained its independence. The colonial authorities of the British Crown asserted that all the minerals found are their property.
