Repair work on a key Nigerian crude oil pipeline operated by Royal Dutch Shell Plc is ongoing under very tight security, according to a person familiar with the operations.
The repairs were being carried out in two different sites of the Forcados export pipeline, which was hit by explosions in February and again last week, said the person, who asked not to be named because of security concerns. Earlier Chief Financial Officer Simon Henry said the company had to withdraw repair crews last week after a second attack against the 48-inch Forcados pipeline that links onshore storage tanks with an offshore port.
