Shell extends force majeure on Nigeria Bonny exports
LONDON (MarketWatch) –Royal Dutch Shell PLC Friday said it has extended a force majeure until further notice on Nigerian Bonny oil exports after new problems were discovered during ongoing repair work that followed a militant attack late-July on its energy infrastructure.
“The company had worked hard to repair the pipeline and bring back production only to discover more leaks from the effects of the attack,” Shell said in a statement.
The force majeure, which legally protects Shell from not meeting contractual obligations due to factors outside its control, was put into place in late July and originally had been expected to end this month. Shell declined to say precisely what volumes are affected.
Militants attacked the Nembe Creek and Rumuekpe oil pipelines at the end of July, knocking out a chunk of production. Shell had put the amount of oil shut-in at 40,000 barrels a day, though some industry officials believed the number was higher.
Nembe Creek typically operates at around 130,000 barrels a day of capacity and feeds the Bonny oil export terminal, while capacity at Rumuekpe is around 100,000 barrels a day.
Nigerian Bonny supply is coveted by refiners for its low-sulfur quality that makes it relatively easy to refine.

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.
