Reuters: Nigerian protest shuts 14,000 bpd Shell oil output
Wednesday 17 August 2005
LAGOS (Reuters) – A community protest in Nigeria has forced Royal Dutch Shell to close 14,000 barrels per day of oil production, a company spokesman said on Wednesday.
The protest began on Tuesday as a result of a breakdown in talks between Shell and community leaders of Rukpokwu, in southeastern Rivers state, over compensation for an oil spill in 2003.
“There was a shutdown of Agbada-1. The flow station produces 14,000 barrels per day,” a spokesman said.
“We are doing everything we can to get them back to negotiations.”
Shell is the largest oil producer in Nigeria, pumping 1 million bpd of the OPEC member nation’s 2.5 million total.
Nigerian oil operations are regularly interrupted by protests in the southern delta region, where impoverished villagers feel they should get a greater share of the wealth being extracted from their tribal.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
