CHAPTER ONE

  • INTRODUCTION

1.1     THE BACKGOUND OF THE STUDY

The Importance of petroleum to Nigeria can only be fully appreciated when one realizes the dominant role it plays in our economy. Petroleum production and export is the anchor of the Nigerian economy providing almost 90 percent of our export earnings. The communities where these oil producing companies were sited are not left out from being beneficiaries.

Moreover, oil prospecting began in Nigeria as far back as 1908, when a German Company, the Nigeria Bitumen corporation started exploration in the Araromi area west of Nigeria, now Undo State. Their pioneering efforts, however ended with the outbreak of the first world war in 1914. In 1937, oil prospecting resumed in Nigeria, shell D’ Arey ( The foreunner of the present shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria) was awarded the sole concessionary rights covering the whole territory of Nigeria. Their activities were again interrupted by the second world war, but resumed in 1947, however, it was not until 1956 that oil was discovered in commercial quantities at Oloibiri in the Niger Delta after several years of search and an investment of over N30 Million. Shell started oil production and export from its Oloibiri field in 1958.

By 1961, other companies such as Mobil, Agip, Safrip, Texaco (Now Total thira) had be an exploration activities for oil are of Nigeria. The exploration which had formerly been grant to shell alone, was no extend to the newcomers in line with the Government’s policy of increasing the face of exploration in the country through which more communities came to be beneficiaries.

The main objective of oil companies today is the exploration and production of oil and other hydrocarbons.

Today, oil revenue from the mainstay of the economy, unlike the early tities and sixties, agriculture was the traditional economic blessing of the country. With the little or non-functioning of agricultural production, oil companies are therefore, expected to labour harder to achieve the expectation and objectives of this beloved country known as the produced of the “black gold”. The communities also have increased in their pronounced need for compensation from oil spillage. This was how public relations machinery came into the surface to be the middleman to dialogue between the communities and the companies existing within their premises.

It was in this process in 1969 that the Federal government backed up the business of oil exploration and exploitation with the instrument of law, thereby making hydrocarbons discovery in the country an exclusive property of the Federal Government. The oil prospecting decree was promulgated in 1969.
