ABUJA (Reuters) – Output of Nigerian Forcados crude has reached between 150,000 and 200,000 barrels per day, following a pipeline repair, but Bonny Light is still subject to force majeure, a Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) executive said on Tuesday.
“I can’t give the exact number, but it’s (Forcados) producing between 150,000 to 200,000 barrels a day. The pipeline has been repaired and there is good progress,” Ann Pickard, regional executive vice president of Royal Dutch Shell for Africa, told reporters.
“Bonny Light’s force majeure is still in place right now. The pipeline leak has not been fixed.”
Bonny Light was shut in on February 7 following damage to a pipeline.
Forcados exports had already been subject to force majeure, which frees the operator from its sales obligations, in January following pipeline sabotage.
The halt marked a set back to the recovery of supplies from the Forcados terminal. It was shut for almost two years following a series of militant attacks in February 2006.
Prior to those attacks, the Forcados oil fields pumped about 380,000 bpd.

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.
