ABSTRACT: Oil spill occurrence during exploration, production and distribution can cause
deleterious impact on the environment. Contamination of local streams/rivers, farmlands,
forest resources and biodiversity in oil producing areas presents strong significant
possibility of significant harm to human health. Geo-information technologies present
new opportunities for assessing stress environment and ways of determining exposure
susceptibility in such areas. The study assesses the geographical distribution of
oil-spills cluster and pattern using three geospatial techniques with ground data
at 443 oil-spill incident sites from 1985-2008. The places with high (high-volume/
large impact/close proximity to communities) and low incident (low-volume/less impact/far-distance)
are related to the quantity of oil-spills identified within those communities considered
susceptible to spill impact and possible exposure. While the average nearest neighborhood
analysis showed a probability that oil-spill distribution in the area is clustered
