Climate-Induced Flooding and Vulnerability of Oil and Gas Production Facilities in the Niger Delta: A Climate-Resilient Engineering and Disaster-Risk Perspective

The Niger Delta concentrates almost all of Nigeria's onshore and shallow-water hydrocarbon production inside one of the lowest-lying, most rapidly changing deltaic systems in Africa. Recurrent extreme floods — most notably in 2012 and 2022 — have inundated flow stations, gas plants, manifolds, export terminals and pipe...
