NIGER DELTA ENVIRONMENT. 2.1 The Composites of the Niger Delta Environment. 38. 2.2 Oil Exploration and its Resultant Effects on the Environment 43. The Environmental Impact of the Oil Industry on the Niger Delta In exploration, in mining and in processing there is an adverse environmental impact even 11 Dec 2002 Hydrocarbon exploration started in the Niger Delta in 1937, and it was not until 1956 that the first oil well was struck, other discoveries followed discovered crude oil at Oloibiri, a village in the Niger Delta, and commercial Since the discovery of oil in Nigeria in. 1956 1.6 Oil Exploration and Exploitation.
Oil Exploration in the Niger Delta Region According to Azaiki (2003), "the search for crude oil in Nigeria began as far back as 1908 when a German company, the Nigerian Bitumen Corporation, started exploration in the Araromi area of western Nigeria". Oil spills in the Niger Delta Extent of the problem. The Department of Petroleum Resources estimated 1.89 million barrels of petroleum were spilled into the Niger Delta between 1976 and 1996 out of a total of 2.4 million barrels spilled in 4,835 incidents. (approximately 220 thousand cubic metres). The review of these studies shows that oil spills in the Niger delta have acute and long-term effects on human health. Material relief and immediate and long-term medical care are recommended, irrespective of the cause of the spill, to ensure that the potential health effects of the exposures to the spills are properly addressed.
The Niger Delta region is the oil producing area of Nigeria, which consists of highly diverse ecosystems that are supportive of numerous species of terrestrial and aquatic fauna and flora. Crude oil spills endanger fish hatcheries in coastal water and also contaminate valuable fish. This study examines the effects of oil spills on fish production in the Niger Delta of Nigeria from 1981–2015 EFFECTS OF OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION IN THE NIGER DELTA Table of Contents Abstract 3 CHAPTER ONE: Introduction. 5 CHAPTER TWO: Literature review.. 9 CHAPTER THREE: Methodology. 17 Justification of methodology. 17 Sampling. 17 Data analysis. 18 Limitations. Environmental pollution arising from oil prospecting and exploration in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria has impacted negatively on the biodiversity of the affected areas. The main stresses arise from leakages of crude oil, gas flaring and the escape of other chemicals used in production processes. Oil spills might take several months or even years to clean up. Indeed, it is one of the most significant environmental problems facing Niger Delta Nigeria. These oil-producing communities in Nigeria have faced the brunt of this environmental problem.

22 Feb 2012 Environmental pollution arising from oil prospecting and exploration in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria has impacted negatively on the 25 Oct 2018 [16] examines the environmental impact of oil exploration and exploitation in Niger Delta of Nigeria using tabular analysis of data obtained from 18 May 2016 The oil exploration and exploitation industry which is majorly centred in the Niger Delta region is without doubt currently the most important earner The impact of oil exploration does not only negate the Niger delta but all the states that produce oil and the Nigerian nation at large. Based on this assertion, the 13 Nov 2017 [2] Oil spillage is a fallout of oil drilling in the Niger delta region, with an estimated total of over 7000 Effects of Oil Pollution on the Niger Delta.

A product of a public lecture, this monograph provides an insight into the human health effects of oil exploration and exploitation in the Niger delta region of Nigeria Discover the world's The Niger Delta area is one of the locations that is seriously affected by oil spill in Nigeria’s fifty one years of oil exploration. This study was designed to investigate the effects of th e This paper examines the environmental impact of oil spillage and degradation in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Oil spillage is one of the greatest environmental problems, Nigeria is currently battling with especially in the Niger Delta region.Oil communities have been at the receiving end of this environmental problem. The problems has This study examined the effects of oil spillage on the socio-economic activities of the people and the environment in some communities in the Niger delta. The objectives are to determine the quantity of oil spilled from pipelines, the area of coverage and to assess the effects of oil spillage on the people, soil and water. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. Oil spillage is a fallout of oil drilling in the Niger delta region, with an estimated total of over 7000 oil spill incidents reported over a 50-year period. [1] The Niger Delta's vast production, and subsequent spilling, of crude oil has resulted in pollution of the region. Effects of Oil Pollution on the Niger Delta
