Abstract (2. Language): 
The Nigerian Oil and Gas industry is one of the leading and sensitive sectors of the Nigerian economy which contributes about 35% of gross domestic product and petroleum export revenue represents over 90% of total exports revenue. This makes the industry important to the economic stability of Nigeria. Oil and Gas exploration takes place in the south-western region in Nigeria, which is mostly enclosed with sea and swamp where hydrocarbon is conventionally found. The Nigerian oil industry is mainly operated and controlled by expatriates with locals restricted to support field strength. In the course of operation, oil spillage is often encountered leading to loss of resources, human, animal and material. In order to remedy this bad occurrence which has damaging effect on equipment, contamination of the sea with accompany threat to sea creatures, human beings as well as high cost of clean ups, an “Automatic Oil Spill Dispelling Device Model” is presented as part of efforts put in place to mitigate oil spillage in the Nigerian Oil and Gas industry.
