LAGOS, July 9 (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) lifted force majeure on oil exports from its Bonga offshore field in Nigeria on Wednesday, three weeks after an attack by militants forced it to shut the facility for several days.
“We lifted force majeure at Bonga at 12 noon local time (1100 GMT),” said Precious Okolobo, a spokesman for Shell in Nigeria. He declined to give any further details.
Shell declared force majeure, which frees the company from contractual obligations, on Bonga shipments for June and July on June 20, a day after the facility with a nameplate capacity of 220,000 barrels per day was attacked.
The Anglo-Dutch giant said on June 24 that it had restarted production at Bonga, which lies some 120 km (75 miles) off Nigeria’s coast, but declined to say whether it had resumed at full capacity.
A Shell spokesman in the Hague said a force majeure on Bonny Light, another Nigerian light, sweet crude, was still in place.
The force majeure on Bonny Light was declared in April following sabotage attacks to Shell’s oil facilities. (Reporting by Nick Tattersall, additional reporting by Ikuko Kao; editing by James Jukwey)

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.
