Shell yet to assess Nigerian oilfield
LONDON (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell said on Wednesday it has yet to carry out an assessment of an offshore oil field in Nigeria, a step required before it restarts output shut since February by rebel attacks.
On Monday, Shell said that it hoped the assessment of the EA field in Nigeria, which pumps 115,000 barrels a day, could take place as early as this week.
“The pre-resumption assessment indeed has not taken place yet,” Shell spokeswoman Caroline Wittgen said. She said production would resume “as soon as possible and when it's safe to do so.”
Oil prices have risen towards $70 a barrel in the U.S., near the record high hit last year, partly because attacks on Nigeria's oil industry have shut down almost a quarter of output from the country, the world's eighth-largest oil exporter.
Militants last week warned Shell against any return, threatening to execute anyone found on Shell's previously attacked platforms in the Niger Delta.
Shell has also closed 340,000 of output from Nigeria's onshore Forcados fields.

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.
