Insufficiency of the petroleum products at the depot has always been a problem. Furthermore, inability to maintain and service procured equipment poses a threat to the industry. Poor condition of road net work affects the efficient distribution of the products. Adulteration of petroleum products poses a threat in the oil industry and on the users.

The security agents see it as a duty to flush out touts to create a healthy atmosphere for marketers to operate.
Improvement on the poor condition of oil industry workers will go a great length in achieving the obligation of the industry.

The exploration efforts were punctuated by two world wars but eventually yielded results with discovery of oil in Oloibiri in 1956 by sheel Bp. Bayeri (1996:7)
Production increased from a more five thousand (5,000) barrels per day in 1957 to seventeen thousands ( 17,000) per day by independence in 1960 and leapfrogged to four hundred and fifty thousand (450,000) barrels a per day by 1966. Although, this upgrade trend was slowed down by the civil war, by 1970 daily production had reduced the level of one million barrels per day. A peak production level of two million four hundred thousand (2.4 million) barrel per day was achieved during the second quarter of 1979.
