 No Amount of Crying Extinguishes A Single Flare in Niger Delta By Greg Campbell
They've lived their entire lives knowing that once the sun sets behind the mangrove swamps of the Niger Delta that its light would be almost entirely supplanted by that of a roaring gas flare on the edge of town that's been turning the night into day unhindered for nearly 30 years.
No amount of crying, however, has doused a single flare in the Niger Delta, where the screaming towers of fire consume about 2 bn cf of natural gas per day, the energy equivalent of 360,000 barrels of crude oil.
The only thing that seems likely to bring darkness back to the Delta at night is the promise of money: Oil companies are responding to the fact that international consumers, while still solidly reliant on oil, are beginning to create a demand for natural gas.

 The Killing Fields Oil ravages the Niger Delta

Shell Petroleum Development Corporation-the Nigerian arm of Royal/Dutch Shell-reports that 50,200 barrels of oil were spilled in 1998 and 123,377 barrels in 1999, citing sabotage as the cause for 70 percent of the volume spilled in 1999 (these are the most recent numbers available from Shell's 2000 annual report).
Shell-the largest field operator in Nigeria, accounting for half of the country's oil operations-claims to adhere to the highest standards of practice in cleaning oil spills, but even a cursory visit to the Delta shows that those standards are far lower than in other countries.
