Nigerian Oil Spill Monitor (1994 - 2019)

The Nigerian Oil Spill Monitor gives public access to current official data on oil spills collected by the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA), the Nigerian environmental regulator, and displays this in an online map.

NOSDRA relies on the voluntary engagement and support of oil companies to provide data, logistics, quantity estimates, soil/water samples and to carry out cleanup operations. Although the data gathered by NOSDRA and displayed here is immensely useful it does not tell the whole story as the information provided by oil companies is often incomplete and the operotring environment is fraught with security and logistical difficulties. The data shown here is representative of NOSDRA's knowledge of incidents at this moment, and is subject to change as new information arises and new records are added.

This dataset shows the oil spills from 1994 to 2019. More information available on: https://oilspillmonitor.ng/ [https://oilspillmonitor.ng/]
