Interactive geospatial analysis of countries whose petroleum export revenues to Nigeria may be affected by Dangote Refinery’s production start in December 2023. # Dangote Refinery Impact Map: Countries Potentially Exposed to Revenue Loss from Reduced Petroleum Exports to Nigeria This project presents an interactive geospatial analysis of countries whose petroleum export revenues to Nigeria may be affected by the start of production at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in December 2023. Using Nigeria’s 2022 refined petroleum import data as a baseline, the analysis visualizes the countries that previously supplied petroleum products to Nigeria and are therefore potentially exposed to reduced export earnings as domestic refining capacity expands. The project uses Python, pandas, Folium, and choropleth mapping to translate trade data into a simple, interactive map for policy, business, and data storytelling purposes. ## Project Overview This project visualizes petroleum import data to Nigeria in 2022 using an interactive Choropleth map with markers. The visualization shows both: - Regional data as a colored choropleth layer - Individual country locations marked with markers ## Files - `Data Visualization with Python.ipynb` - Main Jupyter notebook containing the analysis and visualization code - `petroleum.csv` - Dataset containing country names and petroleum import amounts. Source oec.world - `petroleum.html` - Output interactive map (generated by the notebook) ## Requirements - Python 3.x - pandas - folium - geopy ## Installation ```bash pip install pandas folium geopy ``` ## Usage 1. Run the Jupyter notebook: `Data Visualization with Python.ipynb` 2. The notebook will: - Load the petroleum import data from `petroleum.csv` - Geocode country names to get coordinates - Generate an interactive map - Save the map as `petroleum.html` ## Output The script generates `petroleum.html`, an interactive map showing: - Choropleth coloring by import amount (RdYlGn_r color scale) - Markers for each country with amount information - Center location: Africa (30°N, 10°E) - Zoom level: 3 ## Author Desig …
