Oil production in Nigeria and Environmental Impact.
Since the discovery of significant petroleum reserves in the Delta region during the 1950s, oil has contributed substantially to Nigeria’s economy. Revenue from oil exports has provided financial benefits for the country. However, both local and global concerns have arisen regarding the adverse environmental effects associated with oil production practices in Nigeria.
The negative environmental impacts are generally regarded as unintentional, and efforts are ongoing within the industry to minimize these effects. Obinno Energy Services offers processes aimed at increasing oil production while reducing environmental degradation. These processes are also intended to address the interests of communities affected by such impacts and other stakeholders concerned with oil industry practices.
There has been criticism of governments and oil companies regarding enforcement of environmental protection related to oil industry operations. Obinno Energy Services seeks to contribute solutions by offering technologies and techniques designed to reduce the environmental footprint of oil production.
Key Global and Local Concerns Regarding the Oil Industry:
- Pollution from gas flaring
- Oil pipeline leaks.
- Improper disposal of waste products
- Dredging of canals
- Power generation from flared gas and solar sources
- Crude oil trading
- Commodity trading (refined petroleum products)
- Participation in exploration and production activities both onshore and offshore
Obinno Energy Services addresses these concerns through its operational practices. For example, the company advocates for the utilization of waste gases from flaring for power generation, supporting electrification projects in urban and rural areas. Other by-products may be directed toward petrochemical applications, such as plastics, synthetic fibers, detergents, and solvents, rather than being released into the environment.
The company aims to implement its processes in a manner that limits environmental impact without imposing excessive costs on oil companies.
