Due to a shut down of a Niger Delta pipeline, Shell’s Nigerian Unit has declared a force majeure for Bonny Light Crude Oil Lifting

Despite a resumption of cash payments to militants and government effort to dialogue peacefully, attacks throughout the Niger Delta have continued which has caused Shell to declare force majeure on some export streams.
Following a leak of some pipelines in Niger Delta, a statement made today, Friday, 12th of August, has it that Shell’s Nigerian unit has declared force majeure for Bonny Light Crude Oil Liftings.

Shell, in a statement said that: “SPDC declared force majeure on Bonny Light liftings effective 1000 hrs (Nigerian Time) today due to shutdown of the Nembe Creek Trunk Line (NCTL) by the pipeline operator, Aiteo, following a leak.”

A spokeswoman said Bonny Light exports were continuing via the Trans Niger Pipeline, which had reopened after being closed since early June.

Sources told Reuters the pipeline resumed pumping oil last week. Exports of 211,000 bpd were initially planned for August.

As a result of militant attacks on these oil pipelines, the country is missing more than 700,000 bpd of oil production.

In addition to the grades under force majeure, a trader and port source said others, such as Escravos, were flowing at reduced rates due to attacks on pipelines and other infrastructure.

As the country struggles with militant attacks that have disrupted its oil production and exports, its on record that Bonny Light is the fourth Nigerian oil grade under force majeure.

Others include the country’s largest export stream, Qua Iboe, Forcados and Brass River.

I don't tire for Nigeria with numerous problems cost by selfish and wicked politicians.

Military operation is not the solution to ND crisis.

But the govt turned deaf ear whilst we keep losing crude production in the midst of economic, security challenges.

Things are spiraling out of government control but they don't seems to realize the danger ahead.

So..so unfortunate Buhari advisers aren't telling him that operation crocodile tears is not the solution.

This is serious men..shiiit is getting too real..

Force majeure on the bonny light transmission line...

Well let the dialogue go on and yield good results...All this is to teach everyone a lesson that we don't just have 3 major tribes(especially the core north) who can tout and beat their chest like they own the country...The real owners are the Niger deltans. ...feeding this nation from time immemorial...


If these explosion of trunk lines continues just about many non Niger deltans would loose their jobs...exactly what I told a yoruba friend of mine that works for neconde who was shouting let the FG go and clear the creeks with air strikes..

and many jejune persons were here chanting a new sheriff is in town..which sheriff be that??...

Ameachi and the rest fools from Niger delta who thought they could run around the Niger delta with apc tricks never saw this coming...

As it stands, only God can deliver Nigeria.
The problems are too much already and our presedo is obviously confused.

It's their acute lack of knowledge that makes them believe in an old sheriffat who will rather beat drum of war instead of diplomacy.

The FG needs to adopt a developmental plan for ND.

not that I am supporting the militant. but military confrontation will never, I repeat it will never solve the problem. yaradua with great wisdom saw this coming.

some hypocrites will blame those who bomb pipelines without blaming a president who is openly divisive

Oga mi wetin carry you come this dirty politics section

what are you saying

This is getting ugly.

From frying pan to Fire. I pity Nigeria and the Buhari Nemesis!!

Here we go

They will all leave one by One. Buhari will never have our oil period. Any environmental explanation, keep it to yourself.

@ this rate, where are we heading to

Buhari has never and would never be a good leader. Been stiff,hard and tough never makes you a good leader. You open your mouth to talk without tinking what might likely be the repacaution. Bush was tough but never killed Osama he chased for years. Obama very soft but killed Osama.

The issue of 9ja delta is gradually deteroriating. Never you start a fire cos it might be difficult to put it off.

We had several options in the last general election. We opted for sum 1 who cannot present common waec certificate.

Jega the evil you left for Nigerians would hunt you and your family till the end of time

Some of the dolts commenting have no idea what "force majeure" means or its impact on oil production.

Are you been sarcastic or real! Please don't prove to me what you are not... a parasite!!!

Abeg tutors in d ouse wetin b majeure

dadavivo:

Is that your prayer?

Only God can bring lasting PEACE.
Nigeria will experience Gods peace again, but not under this same false foundation.
Something Big is coming, just that some people will not be around to witness it.

See wetin Buhari don cause.

i gues there is large quantity of bitumen in ondo state, let nigeria depend on those once for now. the country has many resources this old men just want to drain the crude before they die.
