Massive oil spill harms Niger environment
A massive flow of oil and gas from the "Gomeri W8" well in eastern Niger on September 25th caused a serious environmental disaster. Large quantities of oil were projected higher than ten meters into the air, forming an oil spill that threatens the environment over hundreds of meters. So far, the situation is only partially under control, and the causes are still unresolved. An investigation is underway with the participation of Algerian experts. This follows Niger's start of oil production in 2011, with the country consuming tens of thousands of barrels daily.
