Abstract

This paper follows a stepwise application of Driving forces, Pressures, States, Impacts, and Responses (DPSIR) framework, and explores the use of data analytics to analyze oil spillages in the oil producing Niger Delta area of Nigeria. Our empirical results show that the major concerns of Shell Petroleum Development Corporation (SPDC) are implementing the 2011 UNEP report on oil spills in Ogoniland, and the cleanup program in the Niger Delta area. However, for the communities, the key issues are Shell Oil spillages and water pollution. The most important actionable option derived in the last step of the DPSIR framework is environmental mediation. This methodological approach uses both numerical and text data in proffering solutions to sustainable development crisis in the area, and can be replicated by policy makers at global levels to tackle similar problems.
