LAGOS, Nigeria (Dow Jones)–A major gas and condensate plant operated by the Shell Petroleum Development Company in Nigeria has been shut down just eight days after it came online from a four-month shutdown, a Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RSDB) spokesman said Monday.
The Soku gas plant in southern Rivers State has been shut down again, this time “for operational reasons,” Shell spokesman Precious Okolobo said. Okolobo declined to give further details, and said Shell would have the plant online again “as soon as we can.”
The plant was restarted March 29 after being shut down since November year after attacks by oil thieves caused leakages in the pipeline.
Before the shutdown in November Soku was supplying 1.1. billion cubic feet of gas a day to the Nigerian Liquified Natural Gas plant – 40% of NLNG’s total gas supply – and 30,000 barrels a day of condensate to an export terminal.
Nigeria supplies 10% of the world’s liquefied natural gas supply.
Oil production in Nigeria is frequently disrupted by oil thieves or militants attacking pipelines and other installations.
SPDC and NLNG are joint ventures between the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and international oil majors Shell, Total SA (TOT) and Agip SpA.

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.
