    The Impact of Enviromentmental Conservation on Oil and Gas Production in South Sudan. A Case Study of Paloch Oil Field in Melut County
    (Uganda Christian University, 2024-05-17) Peter Agoth
    The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of environmental conservation on oil and gas production in South Sudan with a case study of Paloch Oil Field, Melut County. The study was guided by three objectives which were; to identify the ways in which an environment can be conserved, to find-out the impact of environmental conservation on oil and gas production in South Sudan and to establish the challenges in maintaining environmental conservation amongst stakeholders and oil companies. The study assessed a population of 34 from which a sample of 32 respondents were contacted and the targeted sample of respondents was reached and able to respond with a frequency of 22 males and 10 females hitting the targeted sample of 32 respondents. The main research instruments used for data collection was entirely self-administered questionnaires with close ended questions were utilized to collect data and analyzed using Statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS) in form of distribution frequencies and percentages. The findings showed that majority of the respondents agreed to Reforestation programs near oil and gas production areas for conserving and mitigating environmental damage. Therefore, it has positive impacts on oil and gas production. This huge support came as a result of implementing stricter environmental regulations that help the stakeholders and oil and gas companies to combat the vice of environmental damage and biodiversity fortification. The researcher recommends the implementation of environmentally friendly practices like reforestation near oil and gas production areas as a way of conserving the environment. This can be achieved through implementing stricter regulations that make it mandatory for the production Companies to support such initiatives. Like any other research, this research is not exhaustive and therefore, further research is needed to research whether the results hold for other oil and gas production fields in the country. Other oil fields and government sectors might have similarities and therefore this research could also be applied in those production site
