RE: Insight into the world of crude oil: from digging to refining, to a look at other ‘by-products’. – WELLS AND DRILLING PROCESS EXPLAINED
You are doing a good job explaining the processes involved. However, I would change the title so that we can differentiate between the articles.
I for one, thought for a second that I already read your article and was ready to move on, based only on the title.
Nigeria is a very rich country in terms of oil, if you could allow me to say that your governments needs to do a better job of keeping the revenue inside the country. Exporting crude oil is the most counterintuitive way to do economic growth.
If you however have all the industry of plastic and other products and also do the manufacturing, this will allow plus value to be added to the products, making the pollution more worthwhile.
I know your country well.. this is not being done in a good manner. The deals are bad and Nigeria exports crude oil for which it "pays" tribute as pollution. The revenue is then mostly "lost", foreign companies take all they can, and it's not even their fault but the government's.
Petrol and plastic business and other byproducts is one of the richest in the world, and this would mean tens of thousands of employed people in all kinds of industries and services.
All of this would boost the economic growth in a way that will put Nigeria well in front of other African countries. Not that it's not close :) but there is still work to do.
This, is immense! I'm sorry the title is a little confusing. I had to use it to draw reader's attention once again.
From your feedback, I can draw a little conclusion that you know the Nigerian system well. We as Nigerians are agitated that the mineral oil we claim to have doesn't belong to us. The government is quite aware of every of these process you pointed out, but they chose and still look for ways to embezzle.
It's a sad thing really and I must say everyone feels the agony of buying what belongs to us.
Thank you @alexdory for your comment. I was left dumbfounded with the length. Thank you once again!
When you are trying to bring awareness to an issue, time is not that important. And I think that since I was already doing something, I should do it right.
I am working with Nigeria on aviation and training, but I guess being on steemSTEM is way better to take the pulse of the country.
Many thanks.
We hope things eventually get better soon.
