Nigeria: Chevron Pipeline Down

摘要

Chevron said on Monday it had suspended production from an oil pipeline in Nigeria's Delta state, which was breached on Friday. Chevron said it was investigating the damage to the Dibi-Abiteye pipeline, which feeds the Escravos oil stream, but did not comment on how much production would be lost. Escravos crude exports were due to be around 123,000 b/d in December, according to loading programs. It was not clear how much this would be reduced by the pipeline damage. "We have suspended production to minimize environmental impact and have informed relevant government agencies and other stakeholders," Chevron said. "The breach is being investigated and we are reviewing our operations."
