ABSTRACT
Oil is mineral resources which had been generated and accumulated
over long geological times from very huge debris of
living organisms in aquatic or marine surroundings. Oil has
certain physical qualities which are also reflected in the
nature of its impact on human inter-relationships, on politics,
National and International. The most intersting thing about
this project is the multi-dimen-tionality of its approach. My
chooice of the topic "The Multinational Oil Corporation(MNOCS)
and the Evelopment of Petroleum Industry in Nigeria; A Case
Study of the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria
Limited" was motivated by the fact that since 1971 oil has become
very vital and a major factor in the economy of Nigeria.
A large percentage of Nigeria Foreign Exchange earnings is now
derived from oil despite the International glut. Oil alone
account for more than 90% of both the gross and National product
and the revenue of the Federal Government. Yet Nigeria inspite
of many years of oil operation does not completely control the
Industry. The Oil Industry in Nigeria is still under the control
of multinational oil corporations and at the first stage of the
second phase of oil industry's development.
The work looks at the role of MNOCS in relation to the development
of the oil industry as well as the nature of their operations.
It also attempt to analyse the role of the state owned oil
company(NNPC) and it's relation to the Foreign oil companies
