Shell declares force majeure on Nigeria oil exports

Sat 20 Sep 2008, 8:47 GMT LAGOS (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell said on Saturday it had declared a second force majeure on crude oil shipments from Nigeria following militant attacks in recent days on its facilities in the Niger Delta.

Shell last week extended a force majeure, which frees it from contractual obligations, on Bonny oil exports from Nigeria following a militant attack in late July.

It said it had declared the second force majeure on Bonny Light shipments on Friday, following further attacks by militants this week.

Isn't the professed devotion of Shell and BP today to renewables mere greenwash, though? “Greenwash is a pejorative term. I'm not sure that's warranted. These are companies like any other companies and they exist to make money.”
