On the forecourt of a Shell garage and gas station in the city of Ibadan, in the southern Nigerian state of Oyo State, a Land Rover gets filled up with fuel. An oil firm called Royal Dutch Shell is known by the brand name Shell.
In 1937, Shell D’Arcy commenced operations in Nigeria after being awarded an exploration license.
The Niger Delta’s first commercial oil field was found by Shell Nigeria in 1956, and oil exports began the following year.
