Illuminated by a Nigerian oil company’s perpetually burning gas flare, boats loaded with drums of illicitly-refied diesel fuel line the river, awaiting their next journey to the creeks.
At an illicit refinery in the Niger Delta, a worker sits on a wooden boat filled with crude oil. The surrounding community relies on this river water for bathing, drinking, and fishing.
A child, face covered with soap, waits to unload drums of diesel at a jetty in the Niger Delta where illicitly refined fuel is sold on the black market to local filling stations. In many riverine communities throughout the Delta, the entire local economy revolves around the illicit diesel trade, and young children often work at the docks rather than going to school.
At an illicit refinery deep in the creeks of the Niger Delta, a worker discards boiling sludge, a byproduct of refining, in a pit in the jungle.
A woman takes a break from the rigorous labor of unloading diesel to nurse her small child. Behind her, a man siphons fuel from a large metal drum into a plastic jerrican.
A worker at an illegal refinery in the Niger Delta. The delta’s refinery workers labor in environmentally toxic conditions, and are under constant threat from government authorities and local militias trying to assert control over the bunkering trade. Nevertheless, diesel cooking remains significantly more lucrative than subsistence farming and fishing, and most assume these risks to lift their families out of abject poverty.
In a dying swamp forest in the Niger Delta, a worker pours crude on a fire to begin the refining process. Entire camps can easily, and often do, explode when the fumes produced during the refining process catch fire. The workers cook under the cover of night to evade authorities tracking the smoke from their operations.
A child in the Niger Delta gathers firewood from land being cleared for farming and fuel production.
A makeshift refinery distils crude oil into diesel. Throughout the Niger Delta, rogue syndicates engaged in industrial-scale crude-oil theft, known locally as bunkering, sell stolen oil in remote creeks and swamps, where makeshift refineries, such as this one, distill it to diesel, then ship it downriver to be sold on the black market.
An elderly woman journeys at dawn into a creek in the Niger Delta. She has made this trip nearly every day of her life, setting traps and catching fish to feed her family. Though certain tracts remain unspoiled, the oil and gas industry, both legal and illicit, has severely polluted much of the Delta’s fragile ecosystem—disrupting traditional livelihoods such as farming and fishing.
