Oil and Gas Distribution Control Force: Technology Operations and Management

Abstract

Oil and gas distribution in Nigeria relies on transportation. It has cause a certain degree of environmental impacts. Natural gas and oil can be used actively as a supplementary energy all over the world, is a certain trend in the future . The concepts of safety, risk and environmental management are currently receiving considerable attention in the global petroleum industry, due to operational accidents, incidents with devastating consequences to living organisms e.g. Human,plant and animals safety and environment. The effect of vandalization of pipeline and its effects on ecological system, loss of revenue, damage to the land and Agricultural problem, impacts of oil spills along the coast, oil spillage is categorized in four groups, minor, medium, major and disaster. Oil pipeline act 1956, Amended Act1965. The 2010, Deepwater Horizon accident involving BP in the Gulf of Mexico . The industry have been supplying the energy demands of mankind. The challenge face by the petroleum industry is striking a balance between the critical need for supply energy with safe and sustainable operations. Nigerian economy heavily dependence on the petroleumindustry. The industry accounts for over 95% of export earning and over 90% of government revenue. The poor safety and environmental management within the industry has been attributed to poor technical infrastructures accidents and vandalism. The federal Environmental Protection Agency( FEPA) which was recently made part of the ministry of the environmental is legally vested with the responsibility of protecting and sustaining the Nigerian environment through formulation and implementation of regulatory frameworks. The concepts of safety, risk and environmental management are currently receiving considerable attention in the global petroleum industry due to the potential of operational accidents / incidents with devastating consequences to human safety and the environment . The challenge faced by global petroleum industry is striking a balance between the critical need for distribution, supply of energy with safe and sustainable operation. The research uses both primary and secondary data, using interview in qualitative research. The research use appropriate statistical techniques, descriptive statistics for summarizing or describing numerical data like tables and calculating the percentage to describe characteristic of a sample distribution and interdiction of oil and gas distribution The risk management should consist of collection of technical and social tactics, to leverages on potential solutions that partnership with all stakeholders, loc
