Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) has recorded 89 incidents of crude oil theft from its facilities in 2006, with 207 persons arrested.
Also, 48 tankers, 21 vehicles and 18 barges were impounded by the security agents.
These were contained in a document made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Warri. The document says the thefts represented an average oil loss of between 16,000 and 24,000 barrels a day (b/d).
In spite of the degree of loss, the thefts were less than that of 2005, which was between 20,000 and 40,000 b/d.
The community related disruptions last year were down to 117 in 2005, as against 154. Although, the number of the disruptions was low compared to 2005, the severity increased with 3.6-million barrels loss in 2006.
It attributed the severity to destruction of pipelines, manifolds, field bases, wells and the crude loading platform.
Central Bank of Nigeria estimated the loss to militant attacks at 600,000 b/d in 2006, indicating a 4.67 percent decline in the oil sector.
The Federal Ministry of Finance had put government loss at N570-billion in 2006.

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.
