Oil and gas transportation is the transport of oil and derivatives such as gasoline. Advances in exploration and production have helped to locate and recover a supply of oil and natural gas from major reserves around the world. Oil is transported by rail cars, trucks, tankers and pipelines. The method used to move this oil depends on the amount moved and where it is moved. The biggest problems with moving this oil are pollution and the possibility that oil can spread. Petroleum oil is very difficult to clean and is very toxic to live animals. The movement of oil to the market is a process that requires a variety of transport and storage technologies, usually referred to as "midsream". Oil is often produced in places far from where it will be consumed; as a result, transportation systems have been built to transport crude oil to refineries where it is processed and to ship refined products to where they will be consumed (such as a service station). Storage facilities are ...

An oil depot (sometimes called a tank farm, installation or oil terminal) is an industrial facility for the storage of petroleum and / or petrochemical products and from which these products are generally transported to end-users or other storage facilities. An oil depot usually has a tank, either above ground or underground, and gantries (frame) for spilling products in tank trucks or other vehicles (such as barges) or pipelines. Oil depots are usually located near oil refineries or in places where tankers containing products can unload their cargo. Some deposits are attached to pipelines from which they draw their supplies and deposits can also be fed by rail, barge and tanker (sometimes called "bridge"). Most oil depots have tank trucks that operate from their land and these vehicles transport products to service stations or other users. An oil depot is a relatively unsophisticated facility in that (in most cases) there is no processing or other processing on the si...

Therefore, although the oil sector is important, since government revenues and foreign exchange are still highly dependent on this sector, it remains in fact a small part of the country's overall diversified economy. The delta basin crude oil is of two types: light, and comparatively heavy - the lightest around 36 gravity and the heaviest, 20-25 gravity. Both types are paraffinic and low in sulphur. EXPLORATION HISTORY The history of oil exploration in Nigeria dates back to 1907 when the Nigerian Bitumen Corporation conducted exploratory work in the country; However, the company left the country at the beginning of the First World War.

A modular refinery is by definition a prefabricated processing plant that has been constructed on skid mounted surfaces, each structure containing a portion of the entire refinery plant connected by interstitial piping to form an easily manageable process. An oil refinery is a plant where crude oil is transformed into gasoline and hundreds of other useful products or a plant where crude oil is broken down into its various components, which are then selectively changed into new products. Petroleum refining is the process that brings us crude oil to refined or finished products through an oil refinery such as high octane fuel (gasoline / gasoline), diesel, liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) , kerosene fuel oils, lubricating oils, asphalt and petroleum coke. An oil refinery is considered an essential part of the downstream side of the oil industry. The refineries are of different sizes. The range ranges from small refineries and reforming refineries to sophisticated complex refineries...
