The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation said a “problem” at the Bonny export terminal, operated by the local unit of Royal Dutch Shell plc, has delayed some crude shipments and is being resolved.
Force majeure has not been declared, NNPC spokesman Levi Ajuonuma said, referring to the legal clause that allows a company to miss contracted deliveries because of circumstances beyond its control. State-owned NNPC owns 55 percent of Shell’s Nigerian venture. Shell holds 30 percent, Total SA has 10 percent and Eni SpA owns 5 percent.
Ajuonuma didn’t specify the nature of the problem affecting the export terminal, the country’s oldest. Nigeria, Africa’s biggest oil producer, pumped an estimated 2.15 million barrels a day in December, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Caroline Wittgen, a spokeswoman for Shell, confirmed that no force majeure had been declared. When asked whether there was any reduction in exports from Bonny, Wittgen said the company doesn’t “comment on details of crude-oil liftings.”
Shell’s Nigeria venture on January 14 declared a delay on exports from the Forcados export terminal. The move followed a January 9 attack on an oil-export pipeline.
The Shell venture has repeatedly been targeted by militants over the past two years. Raids in February 2006 by the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), forced the company’s Nigerian unit to halt output of about 500,000 barrels a day, almost a fifth of the country’s production.

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.
