[Quoted] First of all 8.1.6 is desupported by Oracle. You should upgrade to atleast 8.1.7.x (8.1.7.4 recommended patchset) if possible.

[Quoted] Secondly, you should use OCIEnvCreate() in your application instead of OCIEnvInit() or OCIInitialize(). Later two functions are only there for backward compatability to versions prior to 8.1.5.
