Yahoo! News: ExxonMobil says strike cuts output in Nigeria
28 April 2008
LAGOS (AFP) – ExxonMobil’s Nigerian affiliate said Monday that a five day strike by white collar employees had caused output losses.
A spokesman for Mobil Producing Nigeria (MPN) said the company was attempting to open talks with the strikers. He would not disclose the volume of the loss. Its production is normally about 780,000 barrels per day.
“There has been some partial shut-in. But we are trying to reopen negotiations with the striking workers in order to resolve the matter,” the company spokesman told AFP.
Members of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria began the strike on Wednesday after pay and conditions negotiations with the management stalled.
Union officials had warned the strike would “cripple exports” Nigerian oil exports. ExxonMobil is the second largest oil company in Nigeria after Royal Dutch Shell.
Nigeria is Africa’s biggest producer with a daily output of 2.1 million barrels but unrest in the oil-rich Niger Delta has cut exports by a quarter since January 2006.
Last week, Shell said it had reduced output by 165,000 bpd following the sabotage of its supply pipelines to the Bonny export terminal in southern Nigeria.

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.
