KWARA State is set to join the list of oil-producing states in the country following the discovery of crude oil in Ara Orin in Irepodun Local Government Area of the state.

Governor Ahmed said the discovery was first highlighted by a farmer who discovered crude oil sprouting from his farm and seven other adjoining sites and alerted the state government.

Providing further clarification, he said geologists from the state Ministry of Industry and Solid Minerals were subsequently directed to confirm whether the substance was indeed crude oil and if so, identify the blend.

According to the governor, the ministry officials did not only confirm the substance as crude oil but identified the blend as Bonny Light, a high-grade of crude oil preferred by European and American refineries due to its unique properties, according to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Dr Muyideen Akorede.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys will not kill me. So you think this is how crude oil is discovered? Technical illiteracy na serious thing o.

What the farmer saw is most likely a seep from some shallow bitumen/tar sand deposit. Bitumen is not a new thing in the SW, estimates say there is as much as 33 billion barrels of bitumen in the Ogun-Ondo-Edo axis.

Even though our education is shiiiit these days, please do not insult our intelligence, are you telling us the ministry officials who would probably be Geologist, Geo-physicians and other soil and physical geographers don't know the diffrence between tar-sand bitumen and oil. I begi, it is like  u telling me a 'Masai' in Kenya does not know the diffrence between a Lion and a Leopard. Oil is not a remote or scarce commodity in Nigeria, we breathe it, we are blessed with it,  and it sips uncontrollable from our ground,  it would be unfathamable to think a qualified Geologist in Nigeria does not or has never seen an oil residual b4. I beg to differ. 

^^^ So I guess the oil discovered in Kwara is 'scoopable' abi? First of its kind in the world! Una level done high

Have you personally, ever seen crude oil before

Jarus:

I hope it's not palm oil sha

Maybe this would give the Hausas the gusto to break away now since they now have oil. Awon oloshi!

KnowAll:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/b]Jump to: navigation, search
Bonny Light oil is a high grade of Nigerian crude oil with high API gravity (low specific gravity), produced in the Niger Delta basin and named after the prolific region around the city of Bonny.

[b]The very low sulfur content of Bonny Light crude makes it a highly desired grade for its low corrosiveness to refinery infrastructure and the lower environmental impact of its byproducts in refinery effluent.[/b]Other grades of Nigerian crude oil are Qua Iboe crude oil, Brass River crude oil, and Forcados crude oil. The Cabinda crude oil is a common grade of crude oil produced in Angola. [b]The Bonny Light is in high demand specifically by American and European refineries. It is therefore a major source of income generation from the oil rich nation.
