Arguably, Nigeria is the largest oil producer in Africa and the 6th in the world. On average, the country produced about 2 million barrels of crude oil in a day. This volume of oil produced daily in Nigeria is produced majorly in the Niger Delta region of the country that constitute just about 7% of the total land mass of the country.

With this, you need no one to tell you that most of the oil blocks are located in the Niger Delta region, the part known as south-south geopolitical zone. However, some states in the south east and south west are also oil producing.

In all, the oil producing states are Akwa Ibom, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Edo, Ondo, Imo, Abia and Lagos. The production is not evenly distributed. Akwa Ibom, Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa account for 90.1% of the oil produced, making them the top producers of oil in the country

According to a former Chairman of the Senate Committee on Business and Rules, Senator Ita Enang, 83 per cent of oil blocks in the country are owned by northerners. How truth is that? For political reasons, some people believed him then. The question nobody asked him then is how possibly can that be when 88 percent of the oil blocks are owned by multinational corporations.

This article lists out the names of owners of oil wells in Nigeria this 2020.

First, what is an oil well? An oil well is a hole dug into the Earth that serves the purpose of bringing oil or other hydrocarbons like natural gas to the surface of the earth. This is different from an oil block which is a large area of land, typically in 1000s of square kilometers. Usually, both oil wells and blocks are awarded to businesses by the government.

The list below contains the names of those having oil wells. It is no news saying some oil blocks and wells are owned by family. In such cases, the key family members on the business board will have their names here. Also, some of the wells are joint businesses by two or more persons.

It is important to also note that getting the full list can be said to be impossible – it’s actually possible though. So, just know that this is not a complete list.

Remember, people own properties by proxy in Nigeria. Aside owing property by proxy, the issue of license renewal and others things comes into play. Having that in mind, don’t expect a complete list.

General Theophilus Danjuma

Alhaji Mohammed Ludimi

All the tribes are well represented in the list, case closed.

How many times will you mention the Onohs?

The Licenses are awardes to Oil servicing companies owned by these individuals and families based on who is capable of doing the job of Hydrocarbon production. Having the right equipment and expertise. The Oil belongs to the Nigerian people managed by the State owned Oil company (NNPC) with a Joint Venture (JV ) agreement with the Oil Majors like Shell,Exxon Mobil, Chevron,Total,Agip.

Tyrant28:
The pigs wail because they weren't allowed to own everything.

Don't mind them. Their greed is why 3 million of their ancestors died for nothing. All to corner the oil resources of the Nigerdelta for themselves.

Peeps above me are all tribalisic...

And they all blame Buhari for favoring Fulani Herdsmen..

There you go Nigerians. If you see any of these people collect your money from them. Thank God they are from every region in Nigeria. They all owe you money, I repeat they all owe you money.

Nestoil that is owned by one of them from the gully eroded Anambra state even operates oil wells in Delta state but his jewish people will not talk about it. They keep crying about how fulani and Yoruba owns oil wells in the region. Their plan has always been to corner everything for themselves that's why they want biafra where they will use their numbers to suppress the nigerdeltans. They have already started revisionist propaganda, saying that there is nothing like Niger Delta or south south, claiming that Ibibio tribe are Iboes , trying to claim everything and everyone in the south south like they did to Ikwere tribe in the old Eastern region where they changed Ikwere names to Ibonizes names, marginalized all the minorities and eventually tried to totally conquer them with biafra before they were resisted and driven back into their 5 gully erosion ravaged states which they have been trying to escape from ever since.

Kinematics wene badu awusa, yorooba and yeboes are sharing our oil wealth. Our SS is helpless

Macpepple family cornered four oil wells to themselve.
Who knows where macpepple family come from

I want to see the source of the list. Not posting random website as the source.

Where is the official NNPC list of oil owners.

Someone can easily sit in the bedroom and type this list on their own.

This is why I prefer western journalism because they usually list their sources of information at the bottom.

Kinematics:

Sense is far from me

Hahahaha

Truly commonsense is far from you slum dweller. So in a post where oil wealth of your beloved Niger Delta is being shared by the big 3 ethnic groups this was what you saw. This is same backward illiterate mentality that has made awusa, yorooba and yebow to continue to destroy our Niger delta.

Rivers State

Stupidity is my name

Yes we know that.

Rivers State

Rivers state is a major oil producing state, but only 4 people were able to get oil block in their own state. While yebows, yorooba and awusa are 90%. Shame

Kinematics:



Yes we know that.

Our oil wealth is shared by outsiders while PORT HARCOURT remains a shithole. Shame

Outsiders came, took our oil wealth, polluted our water, air and land. When shall cultists like kinematics get sense?

Hahahaha

Oga how many times will you mention onoh christiana onoh ngozi and onoh Anthony?? Ewu congo
it's evident that yorubas and gambaris dominate the list.

Slum dweller illiterate so in a state that produces almost 90% of oil, so it is sensible for you to have less than 10 people with oil bloc.

Yebows on the list are almost 50, yorooba almost 60, awusa almost 100. These are people that doesn't have oil at all.

Kinematics when shall you have commonsense?
