Oil spillage is a major environmental threat in southsouth of Nigeria where most of the oil exploration and exploitation activities take place. If this goes on unchecked or poorly managed, it will lead to the total annihilation of the ecosystem. The objective of this study is to develop a model for the prediction of soil nitrogen depletion in crude oil contaminated soil with time using regression analysis. Each sample containing 10kg of soil were artificially polluted with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 liters of crude oil (Bonny Light). The Soil Nitrogen concentrations were determined using standard methods. Results show that the concentration of residual soil nitrogen in the soil for all the volumes of crude oil introduced into the soil depleted significantly with time when compared to values obtained for the control sample. The residual concentration in the control soil sample was about three times higher than the concentration obtained for other samples. The results obtained from the derived model were very close to the experimental value. The model is suitable for determining Soil Nitrogen content in crude oil polluted sites.
