Shell resumes Nigerian oil exports
AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE
Published — Saturday 17 May 2014
LAGOS: Anglo-Dutch
oil group Shell has resumed crude oil exports from a key terminal in southern Nigeria
after repairing a sabotaged pipeline,
the company said.
Shell’s subsidiary in Nigeria,
SPDC, said a “force majeure” declared on exports from the Forcados terminal on
March 25 has now been lifted “following the removal of a crude theft point on
the export line.”
“Force majeure” is a legal term
releasing a company from contractual obligations when faced with circumstances
beyond its control.
The company shut the underwater
pipeline when a leak was discovered on March 4, leading to the suspension of
exports through the terminal, which can produce up to 400,000 barrels of crude
per day.
Shell has blamed repeated oil
thefts and sabotage of key pipelines as the major cause of spills and pollution
in the oil-producing region.
Crude oil theft or “bunkering” is
a major problem in Nigeria,
with estimates that the country loses some $6 billion (4.3 billion euros) in
revenue every year because of the practice.
Nigeria is Africa’s largest oil
producer, accounting for 1.92 million barrels of crude per day, according to
the latest figures from the International Energy Agency.
