Hi Mary I agree with Russell Donnelly and Jean Marius, first fix the problem by getting the local environmental authorities involved, because no matter what you do now to clean up the aquifer, that rotten pipe from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company will continue spilling oil into the ground. After you fix the source of the problem only then you can start to do the cleanup, there are many technologies that you can be used to separate oil from water, you have to be very careful on which technology you will use, it depends on a number of things such as: is the oil emulsified?, depth of the well, ppm of oil in the water and the most important one, capex and opex, one thing for sure, as Russell and Jean Marius said, it will not be easy or cheap. www.designh2o.ca
