Master Nigeria’s upstream and pipeline spill prevention, sabotage risk management, and environmental recovery practices — with global standards, case studies, and hands-on skills.

This intensive 5-day training programme equips participants with the technical, regulatory, and operational expertise required to manage oil spill risks in Nigeria’s upstream and midstream operations. Unlike port-based spill scenarios, this course addresses the unique challenges of pipeline networks, flow stations, tank farms, and oilfield facilities, particularly in regions prone to illegal bunkering, artisanal refining, and sabotage-related spills.

Through case studies, simulations, and practical exercises (e.g., Niger Delta pipeline incidents, Bodo spills, Shell & ENI remediation efforts), delegates will learn to prevent, respond to, and recover from oil spills while balancing operational continuity, community relations, and environmental stewardship.

❗ Why this course is important

Nigeria’s oil sector faces persistent risks from pipeline sabotage, illegal bunkering, and artisanal refining, leading to severe oil spills, revenue losses, and environmental damage. To secure sustainable operations, professionals need the ability to:

• • Understand Nigerian oil spill regulations — NOSDRA Act, DPR/NUIMS, PIA 2021, and global frameworks (MARPOL, OPRC).
• • Identify and mitigate sabotage & bunkering risks in oilfield and pipeline networks.
• • Apply advanced response techniques — booms, skimmers, dispersants, in-situ burning, and bioremediation.
• • Plan for environmental recovery — soil/water rehabilitation and community engagement.
• • Integrate technology & security tools — drones, IoT sensors, and surveillance for spill detection.
• • Strengthen stakeholder coordination with regulators, communities, NGOs, and security forces.
• • Embed ESG and sustainability standards into oilfield operations.

🎯 Who should attend

This programme is designed for professionals across Nigeria’s upstream and pipeline operations:

• • Pipeline Operators & Terminal Facility Managers
• • HSE & Environmental Managers in upstream operations
• • Oilfield Supervisors & Emergency Response Coordinators
• • Security & Surveillance Officers protecting oil/gas infrastructure
