AFP: Shell losing 30,000 barrels per day after Nigeria oil attacks
PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria (AFP) Oil major Royal Dutch Shell said Saturday it was losing the equivalent of 30,000 barrels of crude oil per day because of recent attacks against its installations in Nigeria.
The unrest in Nigeria, Africa’s biggest oil producer, helped drive oil prices to a record high above 126 dollars on Friday, analysts said.
The loss in production translates to 409 million naira (2.24 million euros, 3.47 million dollars) in lost revenue every day, said Chidi Izuwah, a spokesman for the Shell Petroleum Production Company.
Anglo-Dutch oil group Shell, Nigeria’s largest oil operator, accounts for around half of the country’s 2.1 million barrels per day output. An upsurge in attacks on its facilities has forced it to cut back on production.
Niger Delta militant groups — most prominently the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) — have sabotaged several supply pipelines owned by Shell and other oil operators in the restive region.
MEND emerged in early 2006 as the leading group calling for a greater share of Nigeria’s oil revenue for the producer region. Besides attacking facilities, it has seized local and expatriate oil workers as hostages.
Overall, violence in the Niger Delta has reduced Nigeria’s total production by a quarter in the past two years.

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.
