This study examined the relationship between knowledge acquisition and resource exploitation of indigenous oil and gas service companies in Niger Delta, Nigeria. Primary data was generated through structured questionnaire. The methodology used was quantitative and a cross-sectional survey method was adopted in the investigation of the study variables. The population of this study consisted of 332 (Three Hundred and Thirty Two) staff members of 26 highly functional/ active operational indigenous oil and gas service companies operating in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. A sample size of 181 was determined using Taro Yamen sample size determination formula. The reliability of the instrument was achieved by the use of the Cronbach Alpha coefficient with all the items scoring above 0.70. The hypotheses were tested using the Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation Coefficient with the aid of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22.0. The findings of the study revealed that there is a significant relationship between knowledge acquisition and resource exploitation of indigenous oil and gas service companies in Niger Delta, Nigeria.  The study recommends that indigenous oil and gas companies should foster relationships with critical stakeholders such as customers and suppliers and develop networks that may bring valuable information to the company, and opportunities to get new ideas from external parties should never be neglected. The managerial implications follow that if a firm enjoys a broad and connected client network it can facilitate the emergence of ambidexterity by stimulating higher levels of trust internally. However, if this firm is heavily dependent on teams to develop ambidextrous abilities in a self-managing and contextual fashion, trust may prove to be detrimental.

Abstract Nigerian oil and gas industry have over the years witnessed incessant conflicts between the stakeholders, particularly the host communities in Niger Delta region and the oil and gas companies in partnership with the Federal Government. Conflict which is here defined as manifestation of disagreement between individual and groups arising from differing and mutually incompatible interests has both positive and negative effects depending on how it was managed. Managing conflicts is all about limiting the negative aspects. The study examined conflicts management in Nigeria oil and gas industry and how best the positive elements of conflicts can be maximally exploited for the mutual benefit of both oil and gas company and the host communities in Niger Delta. The study adopted the multidisciplinary approach, literature review, case study and relied on secondary sources using analytical method of data analysis. The study findings revealed that the major factors that precipitate conflicts between the oil and gas industry and host communities in Niger Delta include economic, social, political, and ecological factors. There are available strategies that can be used in conflict management. These include avoiding, accommodating, or smoothing, competing, or forcing, compromising, and collaborating. Any of these strategies can be used to manage conflict depending on the situation, the environment factor, and the nature of the conflict. The problem is that the oil and gas companies in partnership with the Nigerian government often adopted the wrong approach in dealing with the conflict with host communities, using avoiding or forcing strategies. The study recommends collaboration strategy which ensues long term-term solution to mutual benefits.
