March 6 (Bloomberg) — Royal Dutch Shell Plc said a pipeline spill in the Niger River delta has cut production by 187,000 barrels a day and forced the closure of 10 pumping stations.
Shell, the biggest international producer in Nigeria, doesn’t know what caused the leak or how long it will take to repair the pipeline, spokesman Andre Romeyn said today in a telephone interview from The Hague.
Previous attacks by militant groups have forced Shell’s Nigerian operations to slash output by about 500,000 barrels a day, almost a quarter of the country’s production. Shell has a 30 percent share in its Nigerian venture.
Nigeria pumped 2.18 million barrels of oil a day last month, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That made it the sixth- biggest producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.

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.
