  • Where is hydrocarbon extracted in Nigeria?
  • In Nigeria, Hydrocarbon is currently extracted from 323 developed fields located in both onshore and offshore terrains. These fields, which either contain Crude Oil, Condensates or Natural Gas reservoirs, are connected to 265 production processing stations, after which the stabilised Oil and Gas are exported via 31 export terminals.
  • How to extract CSO from cottonseed?
  • Twenty grams of Lankart-57, RH-112, F-20, K-25, and D-9 cottonseed varieties were used to extract CSO by Soxhlet method using 300 mL n-hexane as solvent at 70 °C temperature for 5 h, and result shows oil content in the range of 12 to 14.55% (Shah 2017).
  • What is the difference between cotton oil and cottonseed oil?
  • Cotton (Gossypium sp.) is a commercially important annual fiber crop; cottonseed oil (CSO) is an important product extracted from one of the byproducts of cottonseeds. Oil yield varies with cotton species, places, and season when cotton grown and extraction methods used for oil extraction.
  • What is cottonseed oil (CSO)?
  • The worldwide cottonseed production in 2019¨C2020 was 43 million metric ton (Kumar et al. 2022). Cottonseed oil (CSO) is the by-product of cotton manufacturer; extracted from the decorticated and delinted cottonseed for their used as edible oil and industrial applications (Orhevba and Efomah 2012; Shah 2017).
  • Can n-hexane be used in soap production of Nigerian CSO?
  • After Soxhlet extraction of Nigerian CSO by using n-hexane as solvent which gives 48% yield of oil and studying the characterization of extracted CSO, it was concluded CSO with good saponification, iodine, and acid value could be utilized in the soap production.
  • Why are Nigerian oil majors divesting from onshore?
  • Oil majors in Nigeria are divesting from onshore to focus on offshore drilling due to increasing insecurity and oil theft, which have led to a decline in production and caused Nigeria to lose its status as Africa's top oil producer.
