However, the oil and gas industry has contributed a lot in generating revenue to the country but unfortunately that has not impacted much to the social and structural developments of the people in Nigeria.

This type of crime is mostly committed by the jobless youth who are looking for alternative means to success. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential use of GIS as a strategic tool for oil and gas industry for controlling pipeline vandalization in the oil communities of Jesse, Ekakpamre, and Oviri in delta state of Nigeria with objectives set to support the aim of study. GIS techniques were used and it abilities were demonstrated in controlling petroleum pipeline vandalism using ArcGIS 10.2 software.
