Abstract

The study aimed to estimate oil spillage in the Kokori Oil Field, discovered in 1958, using a linear model. The field has 23 oil wells and produced 383 million barrels of oil. A linear model was developed using Python programming, comparing it with the trapezoidal method and salvage revenue. Results showed a linear relationship between oil spill quantity, duration, and mitigation measures. This study provides a valuable model for estimating oil spillage in the Kokori oil field, emphasizing the importance of accurate estimation for environmental and economic purposes. The study presents a comprehensive model for estimating oil spillage in the Kokori oil field, emphasizing the significance of accurate estimation for environmental and economic purposes. The correlation coefficient value supports the model's sufficiency, and the calculated salvage revenue indicates a commendable projected value for the Kokori oil field at its end of use. Salvage revenue is the estimated value of an asset at the end of its useful life, which is crucial in determining the cost of goods sold and depreciation charge. It lowers the asset's cost, influences its usable life, resale value, and replacement cost. Salvage revenue is calculated by subtracting revenue generated without mitigation measures from revenue realized with mitigation measures.
