Nigeria’s 150,000 b/d Bonny Light crude pipeline shut after militant attacks

摘要

Lagos-Nigeria’s 150,000 b/d Nembe Creek Trunk Line, a key oil pipeline connected to the Bonny terminal, has been shut down following repeated attacks by militants, a spokesman for operator Aiteo Eastern Exploration and Production said late Sunday. The Aiteo spokesman said the closure of the pipeline is starting to disrupt oil production and supply to the Bonny terminal, but a Nigeria- based representative of Shell, the terminal operator, said Monday that force majeure had not yet been declared on Nigeria’s Bonny Light crude exports.
