major minerals in Nigeria

Nigeria is rich in mineral resources, with 34 kinds of minerals with proven reserves and about 4, mines. Among them, the energy mineral resources are coal, oil, natural gas and asphalt; Metal minerals include iron, lead, zinc, tin, gold, niobium, tantalum, tungsten, zirconium, molybdenum, etc. Non-metallic minerals include talc, gypsum, barite, kaolin, limestone and marble.

Oil and natural gas Nigeria is rich in oil and gas resources. According to the estimation of the 14th World Petroleum Congress, its recoverable conventional oil resources are 4.2 billion barrels (Table 1), ranking second in Africa, and its recoverable conventional natural gas resources are 7.19 trillion m3, ranking first in Africa. According to the end of 22 issue of American Oil and Gas Magazine, by the end of 22, Nigeria's remaining proven recoverable oil reserves were 24 billion barrels (equivalent to 3.274 billion t), accounting for 1.98% of the world's total reserves, ranking tenth in the world. The remaining proven recoverable reserves of natural gas are 3,59,29,, m3, accounting for 2.25% of the world's total reserves, ranking eighth in the world. Nigeria's oil and gas resources are mainly distributed in coastal basins, including Niger River Delta and offshore waters, and it is the region with the richest oil and gas in the coastal areas of Africa.
